Rather than bringing the entire cast together in-studio, the Survivor: Winners at War finale will feature virtual chats with the contestants. While it’s unclear how the interviews will be incorporated into the three-hour finale episode, host Jeff Probst will discuss the season’s biggest highlights with all 20 players. During the episode, Probst will also crown the winner, who will take home the $2 million prize.
