After weeks of chaos and record-setting eliminations, Week 6 of Circa Survivor finally brought a moment of calm – only for the tension to return in Week 7 and 8. With over 14,000 original entries whittled down to under 200, contestants are navigating tighter pools, dwindling team options, and rising pressure. In this episode, follow the survivor sweats, near-misses, and dramatic finishes as players place their hopes on teams like the Eagles, Rams, Broncos, and Dolphins. The $14.2 million grand prize is closer than ever, but the path is more unpredictable than anyone could’ve imagined.

Week 9 of Circa Survivor begins with 191 entries chasing the $14.2 million prize. But the calm doesn’t last. Nearly one-quarter of the remaining pool is eliminated as the New Orleans Saints collapse against the Panthers, wiping out 40 entries. With each pick now worth close to $100,000, emotions run high and strategy becomes everything. In this episode, meet more of the players left standing- including pros, poker players, and first-timers and go behind the scenes as they sweat their bets, navigate elimination, and try to outlast the field in the most intense NFL survivor contest on the planet.

Week 12 of Circa Survivor delivers one of the most brutal eliminations of the season as 33 contestants are knocked out by a missed extra point in Washington’s stunning loss to Dallas, dropping the field to just 54 entries worth over $250,000 each. From there, the survivors enter the holiday gauntlet — three picks in eight days, with Thanksgiving and Black Friday games counted separately before turning around for Sunday — forcing bold strategies, last-minute adjustments, and nerve-wracking sweats. 

In one of the most strategic and pressure-filled stretches of the Circa Survivor contest, 52 players enter Week 14 with Christmas looming and $14.2 million on the line. The Steelers emerge as the most popular pick, but an early scare reminds everyone how quickly fortunes can change. We meet first-time entrants, farmers from Illinois, a groom balancing his wedding with the contest, and the “Meatball Brothers” chasing their underdog dream. Strategy dominates as players decide whether to burn top teams like Baltimore or save them for the pivotal Christmas slate. Over three tense weeks, only a handful are eliminated—until the heavily favored “NFL Wise Guys” go all-in on Arizona and bust out in Week 16, leaving just 45 entries and three picks standing between someone and life-changing money.

Christmas week in Circa Survivor delivered exactly the chaos everyone expected. Starting with 45 entries, the holiday slate forced every player to make two picks in one week, with limited options and no clear favorites. The most popular team, Seattle, advanced, but six entries fell with Chicago. By the time the dust settled on Christmas Day, only 34 remained. In Week 17B, the Colts — picked by nearly half the pool — suffered a shocking loss to the Giants, wiping out 16 more entries in one of the contest’s most brutal days. Just 18 single entries survived, each now worth nearly $800,000 in implied value, setting up a high-stakes, winner-take-all finale for the $14.2 million prize.

Week 20 of Circa Survivor, the final week of the contest, brought maximum drama as 18 entries competed for a share of the $14.2 million prize. Seventeen players were in action during the early NFL slate, and at one point all of them were either tied or losing. With five different teams in play — the Falcons, Buccaneers, Packers, Colts, and Cardinals — every snap carried massive stakes. Fans got a front-row seat to nail-biting finishes, including the Meatball Brothers’ overtime Colts win and the Buccaneers’ second-half comeback. By the end of the morning, 10 entries were eliminated, leaving just eight to split $1.775 million each. The episode captures raw emotion from players hedging bets, pacing sportsbooks, and celebrating life-changing wins before heading to the check ceremony, where champagne, big checks, and stories from the season capped off the ultimate survivor journey.
