A powerful moment between two “Survivor” contestants on rival tribes brought Jeff Probst to tears, which he said has “never happened” in his 25 years of hosting the show.

A moving moment shared between two contestants in latest episode of “Survivor” transcended the competition and brought host Jeff Probst to tears.

As an emotionally distraught Erickson struggled to compose herself, Probst signalled for fellow contestant Joe Hunter to go over and comfort her. Hunter, a 45-year-old fire captain, was the one castaway Erickson had told about her autism, and so he knew the methods to help calm her down, including hugging her tightly and holding her hands.
