About this ebook
The official book celebrating the landmark fiftieth season of Survivor—featuring commentary by Emmy Award–winning host Jeff Probst and many never-before-seen images.
What’s it like to be on Survivor?
It’s a question millions of people have wondered since Survivor debuted on CBS in the summer of 2000 and forever changed television. What’s it like to face off in the grueling physical challenges? To endure the unforgiving elements of dense jungles and remote islands? To form alliances with and conspire against fellow players? To anxiously sit at tribal council and hear host Jeff Probst render the verdict on whether your torch will remain lit or be extinguished?
Survivor: Forged By Fire answers these questions and more, replicating what it feels like to play the game. Using stunning photography—many of the images never-before-seen—the book leads readers through each phase of the competition: from “The Arrival” to “The Return” and every thrilling, harrowing, and inspiring moment in between. Curated by Survivor’s longtime director of photography Scott Duncan, the breathtaking pictorials depict the show’s most famous players and most memorable moments in an entirely fresh and even more candid way. Accompanying these striking visuals are moving reflections from Probst, who, for the first time, shares pages of diaries he kept during filming.
This gorgeously designed work of art is an absolute must for any fan of Survivor. It’s also a powerful testament to the unlimited potential that resides within every human being—an ode to the importance of determination, perseverance, and belief in one’s self. As Probst writes, “Survivor isn’t just a game. It’s a journey. One that calls to the adventurer inside us all.”
