Jeff Probst Details “Dramatic” Medical Emergency Cut From ‘Survivor’ Season 48 Premiere

During the opening challenge for Wednesday’s Season 48 premiere of the CBS reality competition series, contestant Kevin Leung suffered a dislocated shoulder, after which host Jeff Probst explained why the “dramatic” moment was cut from the episode after appearing in the teaser.
