‘Survivor’ Issues Rare Statement To Viewers, Asks Them to “Please Consider Embracing Kindness”

Survivor just wrapped its 46th season but it still has the capacity to whip up viewers — too much, apparently. On Thursday, the show posted a rare behave! message to its 583,000-plus followers on Instagram, asking them to remember that these are “real people” playing the game, not paid actors. “One of the best things about the Survivor community is the passion, engagement and excitement around the show, gameplay and those brave enough to compete.

So, a reminder as we watch and discuss the entertaining competition, epic blindsides and emotional journeys these players go on, remember that who you see on screen are real people navigating this experience. Please consider embracing kindness, respect and compassion before commenting.” Related Stories Casting ‘Survivor’ Season 46 Names Its Winner After Final Tribal Council News ‘Survivor’ Announces The End Of The ‘Sia Prize’ Bonus For Contestants From The Pop Singer View this post on Instagram A post shared by Survivor (@survivorcbs) While CBS wouldn’t comment on why it was necessary to release a statement, it could have been triggered, in part, by the online backlash over Maria Gonzalez, who ended up voting for Kenzie Petty instead of her close ally Charlie Davis.
