S48: The Cast As A Whole

Here is a place to discuss the happening from the Season 48 cast (on and off the Island).

If I recall correctly, Whimsy used to give each cast member its own thread.  By 2024 that was done away with.  Probably makes sense in my opinion due to the fact that there wouldn't be any traction for several cast members.  That was due to being forgettable thanks to an early exit or being invisible throughout the entire season.

I imagine any big things that happen off the show would get highlighted in the Survivor Media thread (if not here) but I think this section is great for talking about the season's stars overall whereas happenings within an episode could get discussed in that section.

If time permits, I'll get to the link from the official Survivor site, but Entertainment Weekly has been great for Survivor news for quite awhile.

did CBS even bother to put out a page for cast bios last season?

They haven't done it for at least a couple of seasons and I don't think even EW had it last year. I usually try to pull it up the cast bios early in the season when I'm still learning names but last season I ended up looking at Parade Magazine's page, which I hate because it has even more ads than Primetimer.

Thanks Nashville and fishcakes for the heads up.  Saves me the time to go to CBS for it.  The info posted seems to be more than enough.  Plus I haven't even needed to visit the network website in a long time due to the abundance of content elsewhere.

That may be too bad since the network used to have great material within a decent looking page.  Times change, I suppose

Kinda surprises me, frankly; websites certainly aren’t the customer front-door accesses they used to be, but HTML coding for something as simple as a cast bio directory has to be some of the most dirt cheap advertising outreach available - an intern could clunk one together in a day, two tops.

So I wonder if there’s any actual cause for concern: if TPTB are sweating overhead expenditures as ticky-tack as this, then they may see the show as approaching some unknown-to-us breakpoint of diminishing returns….

That would be sad if the end was nigh. It wouldn't be the same without The show. I know we like to complain During the season But it's all part of the fun.
