Zac Brown Takes Over ‘Survivor 50’ to Swim With Sharks & Show Off His Intense Spearfishing Skills
**Zac Brown Takes Over 'Survivor 50' to Reward Team Kalo with Private Dining and Musical Experience**
On Wednesday, March 18, musician Zac Brown visited the cast of the high-stakes competition series **Survivor 50**, rewarding Team Kalo for their win in that day's puzzle challenge. Brown, a self-proclaimed **Survivor** superfan, took over the show to provide a unique experience for the contestants.
Brown first suited up and descended into the waters surrounding the Fiji islands, where the show is filmed, with cameras capturing his actions as he caught two large fish being pursued by sharks. The musician then sailed to an outdoor celebration for the challenge winners, where he cooked the fish and played songs on acoustic guitar for the awestruck contestants. One of the tracks, **"I Ain't Worried About It,"** comes from the Zac Brown Band's latest album, **December's Love & Fear**.
"I love the unpredictability of [Survivor]," Brown told Team Kalo while grilling their meal. "I've seen all of you play, so it's weird – I feel like I know all of you." The Grammy winner's cameo comes amid **Survivor**'s 50th season, which celebrates the show's 25 years on the air and features a cast of returning competitors from past installments. Mike White, creator of **White Lotus** and runner-up on **Survivor**'s season 37, was voted off on Wednesday's episode.
Brown's appearance also comes a few months ahead of his band's **Love & Fear Tour**, which kicks off in July and will run through November. The tour will span a number of arenas in the United States, including stops at Boston's Fenway Park, New York's Forest Hills Stadium, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.
The episode featuring Brown's appearance is available to view below. **Survivor** airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+.
