Jeff Probst returns to host "Survivor" 47 (of course he does) with another $1 million up for grabs for 18 wannabe castaways who need to outwit, undercut and spike the guns of the other contestants until they remain the "sole survivor". We all know the drill but it seems we still can't get enough of it. Read on for how to watch "Survivor" season 47 online and from anywhere with a VPN.

The enduring popularity of "Survivor" undoubtedly has something to do with the age range, geographical spread and type of jobs the contestants do. They might be united by their desire to meet Jeff Probst (or get their hands on the cash) but the mix of people is always eclectic.
Season 47 gives us a flight attendant, a sports reporter, emergency room doctor, construction worker, a former speechwriter for Barack Obama, and the co-host of "Pod Save America". They're from all over the United States - and one from Canada - and go from Gen X to Gen Z.
CBS has officially lit the torch and the players have been divided into three tribes: Gata, Lavo and Tuku. No spoilers here, but season 47 episode 1 sees one contestant unravel in a very public way...
