‘Survivor’ Season 41: First 2 Episode Titles Revealed, Plus New Photos From the Season
Article Highlights:
- Survivor Season 41 theme, according to Jeff Probst
- Episodes 1 and 2 titles
- New photos from the season shared by CBS
Survivor Season 41 is almost here, and fans can’t wait to see what Survivor host Jeff Probst has in store for the upcoming season. Probst already told future viewers they should be prepared for the new 26-day format. And he noted the game will be more difficult than ever for the players. Now, we got a glimpse into Survivor Season 41 Episodes 1 and 2 titles as well as new photos posted by CBS.
What is ‘Survivor’ Season 41’s theme? Host Jeff Probst says there isn’t one
Jeff Probst wants Survivor fans to feel prepared for a season filled with new twists and turns — as well as no theme. While the past 40 seasons of the show have all began with a theme, Survivor Season 41 departs from this completely. From this point forward, the show likely won’t have themes at all and instead will just go by season number.
“In birthing a new era of Survivor, we are letting go, for now at least, of casting themes or seasons built around a specific twist,” Parade reports Probst said. “Those ideas served us very well for 20 years, but now it’s time for something new. The new players and the gameplay will define each season, much like a Super Bowl or any other regular sporting event.”
Additionally, the Survivor Season 41 cast plays the game for 26 days instead of 39. While this was initially a change brought on by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it seems it’s here to stay.
Here are the ‘Survivor’ Season 41 Episodes 1 and 2 titles
Survivor Season 41 Episode 1 takes on the title “A New Era,” which is seemingly quite fitting given everything Jeff Probst has shared with fans so far. The two-hour series premiere will introduce viewers to the season 41 cast and the three new tribes. Additionally, we imagine Probst will share with the cast all of the new changes to the season, like the shorter gameplay, the lack of food to start, and any additional elements they’ll need to know before it all begins.
Episode 2 is titled “Juggling Chainsaws.” It’s unclear what this could reference, though it could come from something one of the players says in regards to participating in the game. One of the players might say something like trying to play with the new format is like “juggling chainsaws.” Or, the title could have something to do with a new challenge. Probst mentioned this season is slated to be more dangerous than ever before. Episode 2 airs Sept. 29, 2021.
New photos from the season give an inside look into challenges
The official Instagram for the show released new photos from Survivor to Instagram on Sept. 20, 2021. The first image shows the Survivor Season 41 tribes, Luvu, Ua, and Yase, all in separate boats at sea during a challenge. A number of players are swimming in the water. It seems the challenge could involve a relay between the swimmers and the players in the boat.
The next photo shows players Tiffany Seely, Evvie Jagoda, and Liana Wallace all laughing together at camp. They are all on the Yase Tribe.
The third photo shows the contestants competing in yet another challenge. This time, they’re climbing up and over a large net to the next leg of the race.
The fourth photo shows the Luvu Tribe walking on the beach. They look potentially defeated or unhappy.
Finally, the final photo in the set shows various cast members on a boat as Jeff Probst speaks to them. This could be one of the opening sequences from episode 1.
The Survivor Season 41 premiere date is Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
