Survivor fans were upset over Donald Trump‘s presidential address interrupting the 2-hour-long episode of Season 50 on CBS. The network released a statement, confirming that the show will start at its usual time but will be paused for 20 minutes for the president’s speech. It resumed from where it left off and went on for an extended 20 minutes, past its end time.

Survivor fans are angry at Donald Trump for his speech timing

Fans didn’t like that Trump’s presidential address popped up between the exciting episode of Survivor Season 50, which now features 17 contestants out of 24 competing for the prize. Episode 6 premiered on 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS but was halted midway because of the president’s speech.

In an earlier statement, CBS confirmed details about the broadcast, saying, “CBS News will air a special report for President Donald J. Trump’s live primetime address to the nation from the White House, Wednesday, April 1, at 9 p.m., ET. CBS News’ Tony Dokoupil will anchor the coverage.” They reassured fans that the show will resume shortly after the speech and will air entirely, with the broadcast extended beyond its scheduled end time as needed.

Despite the reassurance, fans were still upset over the interruption in between their favorite show, taking to social media to share their thoughts. A user wrote, “Why does he always do this during Survivor.”

Another one added, “Get Trump off my screen im tryna watch survivor booooo … boooo.” A third fan wrote, “I don’t want Trump harshing my Survivor vibes.” Other reactions also included, “As if he would finish a speech in 20 minutes hah.”

Following the president’s speech, the episode was announced to resume at 9.20 p.m. and go on until 10.20 p.m. before broadcasting America’s Culinary Cut. The timings were tweaked not just for Survivor on CBS but also for other shows like Chicago Fire on NBC and The Masked Singer on Fox.
