Zac Brown Visits ‘Survivor 50’ to Swim With Sharks & Go Spearfishing

Zac Brown went way farther than knee deep into the ocean while visiting the cast of Survivor 50, with the musician swimming among sharks and showing off his intense spearfishing skills on the Wednesday (March 18) episode.

A self-proclaimed Survivor superfan, Brown took over the high-stakes competition series to reward Team Kalo — the winners of that day’s puzzle challenge — with a private dining and musical experience. First, he suited up and descended deep into the waters surrounding the Fiji islands where the show is filmed, with cameras following him as he shot two large fish also being pursued by sharks.

He then sailed over to the outdoor celebration for the challenge winners, where he cooked up the fish he’d caught before playing 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. It’ll 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.
