‘Survivor’: Eva & Joe Get Emotional Detailing TV Moment That Brought Jeff Probst To Tears

This week on “Survivor,” former tribemates Eva Erickson and Joe Hunter shared a meaningful moment after a challenge, marking one of the most emotional scenes in the show’s two decade-plus history. After struggling with and then completing a difficult table that secured her tribe’s safety, Eva – who has autism – wept due to being overstimulated. As he saw her struggling, Joe crossed tribal lines to help her find grounding again. Eva then revealed her autism to the other players in a heartfelt speech, and the entire sequence of events brought host Jeff Probst to tears. Eva and Joe spoke to Access Hollywood all about the moment and the reaction of Jeff and the public. “Survivor” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
