LadyChatts December 1, 2024 Share December 1, 2024 (edited) Season 50 spoilers and speculation thread. I know it’s still a ways off from filming but odds are we’ll start getting info for this season sooner rather than later. S50 is confirmed to be a returning player season, the first since Winners at War (40). No idea if there will be a specific theme or just a generic type season celebrating the show. It’ll be filming this coming spring (probably end of May/June) and obviously players are already being contacted and shortlisted (which is why I think we’ll be getting spoilers soon). I found this on Reddit and it apparently comes from Redmond (I know he’s been talking on his Patreon and I think other accounts about the season). Take it for what it’s worth. https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/s/2B6BTTgQbp Here’s a couple of articles from Jeff talking about the season: https://ew.com/survivor-50-jeff-probst-reveals-type-of-players-he-wants-exclusive-8741330 https://www.eonline.com/news/1406430/survivor-host-jeff-probst-shares-the-strange-way-show-is-casting-season-50 Edited December 1, 2024 by LadyChatts Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/
LadyChatts January 21 Author Share January 21 https://www.reddit.com/r/SpoiledSurvivor/s/1z2sgJtSOe Found this on Reddit-per Redmond some more casting news. When calls first started going out, based on the names he was hearing he thought S50 might be another Second Chances type, as there were no winners or multi-time players in the mix. That’s apparently changed as he’s hearing that multi-time players have been contacted. Nothing’s finalized yet but he says many are far along in the process. He didn’t say whether he heard if any winners were going to be included. If not I wonder if S50 might be an unfinished business type season.

Carey January 23 Share January 23 IMO, S49 should be a so-called unfinished business season and S50 should be those that actually did. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8562411
Carey January 25 Share January 25 Can't wait for the casting to pretty much get to where we know all the players that will be participating. I do wonder if the show actually trends toward having everyone staying in the game due to the ultimate jury twist or whatever they did in WAW. I might not agree if they do since Season 50 is slated to feature some great or memorable people that didn't win. Hopefully a mix of those that did as several of the winners of Survivor had memorable segments in seasons that preceded their winning one.

He knows when to quit. After he finally won, he just came back for the all winners season. He has his podcast and he is branching out to other shows. I can’t see any way coming back would benefit him. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8565165

He's an instant target (and is on other shows as well) and not in the same physical shape as he used to be (he was amazing in his earlier seasons). However, I will point out that he said "as a player" and "if there's another way to be involved" so I think he is open to continuing as part of Survivor but in a different way. Even the Island of the Idols season involved him (and Sandra) in a different way. Do I think it's the end of Rob as a player? Yes. Do I think we will see him on Survivor in a different way? Yes. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8565191
tv echo February 23 Share February 23 (edited) Jeff Probst Gives Important Casting Update for 'Survivor 50' The host and executive producer says they're looking to cast "all types of players, spanning all the eras" on the upcoming milestone season of the CBS reality series. Mike Bloom Feb 23, 2024 https://parade.com/tv/jeff-probst-survivor-50-casting-update Quote "Trying to figure out who we want to represent Survivor 50 has been the most exciting, I would say, and simultaneously, single-most difficult thing any of us have ever done," he admitted. "We've had 750-something people play this game. How many are on a season? 18, 20. Not many. So we started with a list of 200 people, these people representing the season. And then we got them to 100. That was the first difficult time where we're all like, 'Man, now it's getting tough.' Then we get down to 50." * * * "People will say, 'Well, do 50 players,'" he said. "You can't. You can't because of math. You just do 70 episodes. It just doesn't work. We would love to do it. You also can't track 50 players. You can't have 50 energies. You can barely track 18 players. So it's just math. It still has to be a small." Probst clarified that production is still at the stage of 50 players in contention, trying to assess what the next steps are. And, while he did not divulge how they are going to proceed, he did give some valuable insight as to what they're looking for in the 18 to 20 players that will eventually make it onto the cast. "This is what we're trying to do, because we want to satisfy you," he explained. "We want a cast that represents all types of players, spanning all the eras. An array of people who have slept bled this ever-changing game design for the last 25 years. Because, really, Survivor 50 is a representation of everyone who has ever played and the fans who've been with us for the entire time. So that's what we're endeavoring to do. So you can see how difficult it would be to get it down to a handful of men and a handful of women, very difficult. We hope we get it right. Just know we're we're we're trying. That's what we're intending to do." Edited February 23 by tv echo 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8588720

LadyChatts February 26 Author Share February 26 From the above article: Quote I want to ask you about a few specific things to see if these will be on the table for the fan vote. Is 39 days on the table as an option for season 50? No. It's simply a production situation. We like this game and I can tell you that even if we wanted to, we already have our leases, our land agreements with Mana Island. 39 days isn't even an option. I didn’t think this was something fans would vote on but I assumed the reason for 26 days was more budget related than anything having to do with lease agreements with the Fijian government. I wonder if there would ever be a point where they’d go back to 39 days or try to expand it past 26 at least if those agreements expire or they decide to film somewhere else.

Carey Wednesday at 11:40 PM Share Wednesday at 11:40 PM Forgot to echo earlier how I too think that's it for Rob as a player. Unless he has to prove that he can overcome being a decent target, he has nothing to prove. Take away the blunder in Season 20, and who knows what could happened. One of the best if not the best in Season 8, and then despite winning over not the greatest of players, it's still winning. Newer twists in the game that can alter it in Rob's favor might give him a chance, but he's not getting any younger, as mentioned. Meanwhile, the competition that's younger is a better version of young & athletic than ever before 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8598796
