Zac Brown, a multi-platinum country-music artist known for his music, has been involved in a number of events including free-diving, spearfishing, and fan-boying on "Survivor". The show's 50th season is being called "In the Hands of the Fans" and Brown responded immediately to the concept. He had to dive 80 feet into the sharkiest waters off Fiji's Mana Island to retrieve the fish, which he has previously done successfully. Brown also learned to function in darkness on a single breath and not to panic. The show is currently receiving its highest ratings since 2021.
