There’s genuinely a bunch of guinea pigs who get recruited to try out the upcoming Survivor 50<\/a> challenges, and the account is brutal. Apparently, two tweaked ankles and cuts all up your knees is absolutely normal at the brutal preparation event, and it’s truly wild.<\/p>\n

One of the show’s guinea pigs revealed they had bruises and scrapes, writing on TV Line<\/a>: “The same substance we are warned not to rub in our eyes slices up every single limb as my skin scrapes against the wall’s hard surface. But the job is not finished. Not by a long shot.”<\/p>\n

They added: “As I help pull up my fellow press and CBS friends from the top, the hard wooden plank cuts my knees like a knife. Every shower I’ll take for the next week-and-a-half will burn beyond belief. I can already barely bend my knees without a good deal of difficulty.”<\/p>\n
