Survivor getting rid of the Edge of Extinction twist, at least for "a while"

reality blurred

Season 40 will be the last viewers will see of the controversial twist, Jeff Probst said at last night's premiere for the 20th-anniversary season. "I think it’s fantastic watching all these twists. And when people get so invested that they don’t like it, that tells me: Okay, we’re in this together," he said. "You don’t like it. I get it. I liked it. But I hear you. We’re not going to do Edge for a while. I’ve heard people. I got it. I’m not saying we won’t do it again—we might get a wild hair and we want to do it again."
