'Survivor' 50 brings Idol Hunt to Oklahoma and here's how you can join the search for the immunity idol
On February 25, 'Survivor' Season 50 will return to CBS with a three-hour premiere episode starting at 8 p.m. ET. The upcoming season, titled 'Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans,' will be hosted by Jeff Probst. To celebrate the show's milestone season, the award-winning series launched a nationwide scavenger hunt on January 30, with an immunity idol hidden in each of the 50 states for fans to find. So far, fans in states like Minnesota, Ohio, Montana, Delaware, New Jersey, and others have found the hidden idols, and the winners stand the chance to attend the live taping of the finale on May 20 in Los Angeles.
At 10 a.m. on Monday, February 16, the 'Survivor' 50 challenge website dropped a clue about the hidden idol in Oklahoma. The clue read: "Where a city's name mirrors the state, you'll find beautiful art beneath your feet. Venture to town's down to kick off your journey, keeping company with gas and electric." The hunt will kick off on Thursday, February 19, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The clue also points to the need for public parking at the location. Treasure-hunt enthusiasts should also come prepared for long lines and bring water and snacks.
