The show Survivor gives $1 million as a prize to the winner. Some people think this is not enough money compared to other reality shows. In the past, $1 million was worth more than it is now due to inflation. Other shows like Top Chef have increased their prize money, but Survivor has kept it at $1 million, except for one season when it was doubled. On streaming shows like Beast Games, contestants play for $10 million. Even though $1 million is still a lot of money, some fans think Survivor should increase the prize to $2 million for its 50th season. However, others believe $1 million is already a significant amount and can change a person’s life. The show Survivor airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
