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 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.

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.

Survivor 50, she says, is not on the list. “No, you’re not gonna see me out there,” Shallow tells TV Insider of the odds of her participating in “In the Hands of the Fans.” This is largely because she’s ready to move on from reality competition series and get “into creative development” instead. She doesn’t say if she’s spoken with Probst about the 50th season. “I’m moving out of reality competition, and I’m moving into host and executive producer roles and creating,” she explains, noting that her upcoming memoir, Nice Girls Don’t Win, chronicles her reality TV history and personal story up to this point. It “tells the origin story of how I became the Black Widow, what led me to this point in my life, and then moving through getting married, a divorce, and the challenges that I went through there, and then coming out, falling in love, going on Traitors, and then what’s next. So it’s a very current, up-to-the-moment story that I worked really hard on, and I’m really proud of.” Her new creative endeavors will be time-consuming, making a Survivor 50 appearance difficult even if she were interested in participating. “I started a podcast called Nice Girls Don’t Win with story producer Amy Bean, who was out on Deal or No Deal with me, and we’re interviewing interesting people and having really fun conversations there,” Shallow says. “I’ve moved into a whole new arena of creative projects, and I’m really excited about what’s coming next.” Edited March 24 by tv echo 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8615414

Rumor has it that Genevieve was also in the mix but got cut. In addition, there’s always the chance someone gets bumped because S49 will be filming right before S50 and we could get back to back players ala Malcolm, Russell, Zeke, and Michaela from seasons past. There were rumors that no one from the 20s era of Survivor was going to be on but since Redmond still doesn’t have all the names not sure if that’s the case (he also supposedly only has 3 new era names so not sure what we’ll be left with if Probst was told by CBS to go more old school with casting).

She appeared to be taking another stab at the show as the 50th season of Survivor will be filming this Summer. * * * Carolyn then posted a clip of Survivor host and executive producer Jeff Probst admitting that he “rolls his eyes” at other television programs “stealing” contestants from his show. “I do get a little territorial, I’m not going to lie because it’s vicious.

I really am working on it that we’re not in charge of anyone’s destiny. “That just because someone went to play Traitors, it doesn’t mean they can’t come back and play Survivor,” Jeff said in a snarky tone with a noticeable smirk at a Survivor fan event. * * * The longtime face of the franchise continued: “I’m being completely honest that it has bothered me. It doesn’t bother me with Cirie, Cirie is Hall of Fame. “Cirie can do whatever she wants but if you look at it from our point of view, we might have a returning player in a season in store. “And then they want to go do this show and that show.

LadyChatts March 29 Author Share March 29 Maybe Carolyn can try to get on Dancing with the Stars. The same person who casts that show also casts The Traitors. I do think that Jeff has some weird territorial gate keeping thing about Survivor contestants going on other shows that aren’t Survivor. It’s like he expects them to be waiting by the phone in hopes he graces them with a call to potentially return to the show (only for them to get passed over by someone whose coming back to play for the 18th time). But in this case I’m wondering if she was a casualty of CBS wanting older players. On that note, I’m surprised at the amount of people who think New Era players are getting a raw deal being forced out for potential 3+ time returning players (other than people being concerned about the diversity mandate, which CBS doesn’t have anymore). I feel like S50 isn’t just a typical all-star season but really a celebration of the shows legacy going back to season 1, and love it or hate that may include bringing back some of the most memorable players for their 10th trip. I wonder if after what happened during S40 and the casting skewing more recent with winners (who in turn steam rolled over the old school players) if that’s why CBS wanted a better balance. If it does turn out that a lot of new era players got cut then Probst should try to do another all-star season in a couple of years that skews more towards new era. I just realized too that S49 should start filming any day, which means S50 will be starting up soon too. So I wonder if a lot of these contestants were initially locked in or thought they were and now things have changed because CBS wanted something different.

Viewers will also vote on if the players will be given supplies like a pot, machete, and flint as in early seasons, or if they will have to earn them via a challenge, task, or some other method, as has become standard in the post-Winners at War new era of the show. * * * The final category open for voting is sure to be the one most open to debate among fans, as the question centers around just how twisty they want Survivor 50 to be. Do they want lots of twists thrown in to shake things up, or would they prefer to see a pure, old-school Survivor experience? The third category takes aim at that, posing the following question to fans: “The right twist at the right moment can change the game for players in exciting ways. But some fans prefer a more straightforward game where strategic alliances are all that matter. Which are you?” Edited April 16 by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8636649
LadyChatts April 18 Author Share April 18 (edited) So that latest scoop on the cast, per Redmond (this post also includes people that were cut). It doesn’t list names, just gender and season, but is probably easy enough to figure out. Whose apparently in that Redmond feels confident about: -Australian Outback: 1 man and 1 woman (likely Colby and the women who were being speculated were Jerri, Elisabeth, and reportedly Alicia) -Palau: 1 woman (has to be Stephenie) -Panama: 1 woman (most likely Cirie) -China: 1 woman (Amanda has been rumored) -Heroes/Healers/Hustlers: 1 woman (probably Chrissy is my guess) -David vs Goliath: 1 man and 1 woman (might be Christian and Angelina, as I’ve seen their names speculated a bunch) -Survivor 45: 1 woman (reportedly there’s no winners don’t wouldn’t be Dee) -Survivor 46: 1 man (some people think Q or Charlie, although Q claims he was cut I believe) Other possibilities: Cook Islands (2 men, one might be Ozzy), Survivor 42 (1 man), Survivor 48 (1 woman). Redmond is reportedly 60-70% confident on these whereas he’s about 90% confident on the others. Apparently CBS did have a hand in overriding Probst, who wanted more 1-time players and more new era contestants. https://www.reddit.com/r/SpoiledSurvivor/s/KJTdYB0s1D Edited April 18 by LadyChatts 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8639279

seacliffsal April 26 Share April 26 Although it wouldn't ever happen-I'd love them to bring back some of the older survivors who don't want to 'play' again but would like to be a part of the 50th season celebration as judges or jury members. Bring back the 'build the best shelter' and make the 'best SOS sign' challenges and have former survivors judge who win. Heck, bring back the former chef contestant (Keith?) to judge who makes the best fish meal. Maybe put a couple of Survivor alumni on the jury to serve as jury 'foreman' or something. Bring them back in other capacities-these are the people I want to see, even if they're not actually playing the game. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8646169

They did not play, but acted as some sort of counsel. Made no sense to me, but maybe someone else can fill you in on the details because IMO it added nothing to game.

LadyChatts May 1 Author Share May 1 I've seen on Reddit and Sucks that David's new girlfriend may possibly be a woman named Sara Wilson, who was the first boot from S41. Some people were saying "there was a Sara on that season?" And I'm sitting here saying "we had a S41?" While I get where people are coming from with new era Survivor's getting the shaft for S50, I think they are missing the point that it isn't just a regular all-stars season. I totally see why Jeff wanted it to be more new era; after tonight I can definitely see why CBS vetoed the idea. I think there will still be a decent amount for S50, just probably not everyone people wanted to see.

Some people were saying "there was a Sara on that season?" And I'm sitting here saying "we had a S41?" Funny. I remember Sara very well. She lost her father to COVID. I felt so bad for her, and even worse when she ended up being Ua's first boot when she really did nothing wrong that first week. She's one of the few early boots who simply got booted for being a bit unlucky. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8650144
LadyChatts May 6 Author Share May 6 Some more news from Redmond: -He’s hearing of 7-8 new era players in the mix (before it was 3-4). -there’s now a 48 male in the mix and still a 48 female -1 additional player form 46 (he believes it’s a male player) -still no winners that he’s heard of but won’t rule it out completely -no male contestants from 41 Casting should probably be getting finalized by now. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150897-survivor-50-spoilers-and-speculation/#findComment-8654915

LadyChatts May 20 Author Share May 20 (edited) https://www.reddit.com/r/SpoiledSurvivor/s/NQynmK9U2R So it seems like the cast is being revealed Wednesday (poor S49, they are this era’s Koah Rong). The last 3 IG posts (including Kamilla’s reel) seem to indicate this. Guess they know it’s inevitable the cast will get fully spoiled so might as well reveal it. If that’s the case through I’m wondering if anyone from S49 is on, because that might be a give away how well that person did. So if the rumors are correct, winners are back in and the cast will have more new era representation than previously thought. Guess we’ll find out for sure on Wednesday! ETA: https://insidesurvivor.com/is-cbs-announcing-the-survivor-50-cast-on-wednesday-59964 Though it’s probably unlikely, Redmond thinks there’s maybe a chance there will be some kind of vote for who people want to see on the season.

LadyChatts May 20 Author Share May 20 (edited) Another update, on the most recent IG post they have the date as next Wednesday (the 28th) for the possible cast reveal. I read on Sucks that this is when the cast is flying out, so likely there will be no fan vote. I guess we gotta keep track of any other IG posts they post.

LadyChatts May 24 Author Share May 24 (edited) So take this for what it’s worth but this is the rumored cast for S50. It comes via a spoiler source at Sucks (Survivors Unite) who had gotten pretty accurate spoiler info in the past. I think I remember some of their spoilers for WAW were wrong, but they were misled by their source. Anyway, we’ll see if Redmond has his own list that differs or if we get surprised on Wednesday! I did hear they might have a bigger cast for this season, though 22 seems like a lot (wondering if any of these folks are alternates). I am disappointed by the amount of new era rep, especially 3 people from S48, and I’m still wondering if we get someone from S49. If this list is true, I hope they split up Q/Tiffany and Joe/Kyle/Kamilla in the beginning. I just don’t want a repeat of WAW with the new era steam rolling over old era. ETA: Ron Clark (S37) said on his IG story that this list is wrong, but then deleted his post about it. I’m trying to read through the comments at Sucks so I’m not sure if this person knows 100% if this is the accurate list or not (especially new era people). Most of these names I can see but some are surprising. 1. Q Burdette (46) 2. Charlie Davis (46) 3. Colby Donaldson (Australian Outback) 4. Cirie Fields (Panama) 5. Emily Flippen (45) 6. Chrissy Hofbeck (HvHvH) 7. Joe Hunter (48) 8. Angelina Keeley (DvG) 9. Stephenie LaGrossa (Palau/Guatemala) 10. Ozzy Lusth (Cook Islands) 11. Genevieve Mushaluk (47) 12. Jonathan Young (42) 13. Jenna Lewis (Borneo) 14. Christian Hubicki (DvG) 15. "Coach" Wade (Tocantins) 16. Aubry (Koah Rong) 17. Rick Devens (Edge of Extinction) 18. Mike White (DvG) 19. Kamilla Karthigesu (48) 20. Tiffany Ervin (46) 21. Kyle Fraser (48) 22.
