SPOILER ALERT: The following story contains spoilers for the finale of “Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans.”

Jeff Probst accidentally revealed the winner and loser of the “Survivor 50” fire-making competition — which determines who makes it to the final three — before the segment aired.

During Wednesday night’s finale, Aubry Bracco won the final immunity challenge of the season and chose to send Rizo Velovic and Jonathan Young to the fire-making competition. But after CBS aired footage of her announcing her decision, the episode cut to Probst onstage in front of a live studio audience in Los Angeles. There, it appears Probst was mistakenly prompted by production staff to bring out the loser, Velovic, despite that fans hadn’t yet watched Young beat him.
