With three new tribes hitting the beaches of Fiji for another season of Survivors This week, the pain was the name of the game.
During the opening challenge in the first show of the 48th season on Wednesday of the CBS chain of reality, the contestant Kevin Lyong suffered from a mixed shoulder, after which the host, Jeff Probest, explained the reason for cutting the “dramatic” moment from the episode after appearing in humor.
“Kevin surprised me because I came to stand near him when he suddenly said:” I feel pain, I feel pain, “Bobst said. Entertainment weekly. “And I said, can you comment again? Can you wait again? He said,” No “I was like,” well, so he is really suffering from pain. ”
He explained that the exhibition will use a green whistle on Lyong, which is “a temporary pain reliever [the doctor] He can do something that will be very uncomfortable without feeling it. “
“She succeeded! He gave her to Keven, took a nice deep inhalation, then soon appeared even without giving Kevin a lot of warning and Kevin went,” Oh, immediate relief! “

Although Probst said the injury was “so severe enough that we had to contact the doctor” and stop the challenge, Leung “recovered very quickly.”
“They said he was fine to continue,” he pointed out. “He suffered, and I think he was restricting him to the challenge, and we are completely intended to put it in the episode, which is why we put it in promotion in the first place.”
“In the end, Kevin’s injury did not directly affect the tribes. If Kevin voted, this is not because of his shoulder. It was not dangerous enough to influence him in this way. For this reason we removed this scene,” Probest added.
Season 48 of Survivors On Wednesday at 8 pm EST.
