The Trailer Reveals
The trailer is full of exciting moments, with Jeff Probst telling the former players, "We chose you to represent 25 years of the greatest adventure on television. It’s a big honor, and the only thing we want in exchange for giving you the spot… is everything."

The season finale saw Savannah become the fifth woman to win four individual immunity challenges in one season, beating out finalists Sage Ahrens-Nichols, Sophi Balerdi, Kristina Mills, and Rizo Velovic.
