  "account": "Survivor Season 51 is now in its inaugural run, kicking off on September 23 with 21 new contestants vying for the $1 million prize in Fiji. The series, hosted by Jeff Probst, introduces the \"Open Era\" format, allowing for new game mechanics and twists that were not part of previous seasons.\n\nThe premiere airs as a special two-hour episode from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, followed by weekly 90-minute episodes starting September 30. Viewers can catch the live premiere on CBS, DirecTV, Fubo, or Hulu + Live TV, all of which offer free trials for new subscribers.\n\nFor those who prefer not to commit to a paid subscription, DirecTV and Fubo offer 5-day free trials, allowing eligible new subscribers to stream CBS and watch Survivor Season 51 live without paying upfront. Hulu + Live TV provides a three-day free trial, offering access to CBS as well as three other streaming services bundled into one subscription.\n\nAfter the free trials, DirecTV's packages start at $19.99 per month, Fubo's plans begin at $54.99, and Hulu + Live TV costs $89.99 per month. Alternatively, Paramount+ offers a more budget-friendly option, starting at $8.99 per month for access to CBS stations, including Survivor's live broadcasts.",
