Survivor paid tribute to Barb at the end of the latest episode, using a title card to recognize one of the biggest Survivor fans.
The 10th episode of Survivor 47 was dramatic, ending with Gabe Ortis getting voted out. Gabe became the third member of the jury.
As the episode faded to black, a unique title card was displayed on the screen to pay tribute to a woman named Barb.
Since the tribute wasn’t clarified, many Survivor fans wondered who it was referring to. She was certainly someone close to the show.
“Dedicated to Barb, The biggest Survivor fan of all time. See you on our next adventure,” read the full title card.
Barb is Barbara Probst, the mother of host Jeff Probst. She passed away recently, and Jeff wanted to dedicate the episode to her.
