As we eagerly await the winner announcement on the packed finale of Survivor 49, a surprising pause is set to occur thanks to an unexpected interruption from the White House. President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Dec. 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT will disrupt the primetime programming, including the Survivor finale.
CBS News will air a Special Report for President Trump’s live address, with Norah O’Donnell and Nancy Cordes reporting from the White House. The Survivor finale will resume immediately following the address but the estimated time for its completion remains uncertain.
For fans in the Eastern and Central time zones, this interruption means a break in the finale, including any subsequent eliminations, the Final Tribal Council, and the winner reveal. However, those on the Pacific time zone will be able to watch the finale without delay. The impact of the interruption on international viewers is yet to be known.
The Survivor finale promises one last vote-out, the Final Four Firemaking challenge, and the jury questioning the finalists. With five players in contention for the million-dollar prize, anticipation is high for the crowning of the Sole Survivor and a preview of Survivor 50.
No doubt, the pause in the finale will be worth it for fans in the Eastern and Central time zones, as they eagerly await the thrilling conclusion of Survivor 49.
