Behind the Screen: Survivor 49

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Savannah's the BEST player since parvati no?!

Savannah's the BEST player since parvati no?!

She is fun to watch and a good player. (One of the best in the new era for sure)  So far I wouldn't say she is the best since Parv.

Kelley Wentworth, Natalie A and Dee I think are a bit better so far.

She reminds me of Abi Maria with less crazy and more personality

I lovvvvve Savannah and 100% see why they chose her and Rizo for 50. Really disliked this season at first but actually turning around on it and enjoy most of the people left.

I wouldn't say best player but I love the old school energy she gives. I love that she's a proud villain and not a gamebot nerd on her knees for Jeff or forced sob story loser.

I don't mind him minus the forced spelling of his name, but I've yet to see any reason he stole a spot on 50.

Just wait until he does his stupid lil catchphrase like a tourette's tic another 30 times.

Flopnanas#189

so far rizo does NOT deserve a spot on 50 but we still have 6 more episodes so we'll see. He hasn't done anything extraordinary to me!

OS Kajun#190

I doubt there's anything Rizzo could do justifying being cast over Sean Rector but then again there's about half the guys I'd cast Rizzo over. The 50 cast makes me blood boil.

Flopnanas#191

The FACT that they DROPPED legends rob c who have done so much for the survivor community for people like rizo and others is still INSANE

Yup. And for Jonathan, Joe, Charlie, Coach, Devens. An absolute joke and humiliation.

GoldenRing#193

Some of those names didn't need to be on our screen again.

Coach & Jonathon earned their spot

OS Kajun#195

Jonathan?!?!?! Lol. Okay. Personally, I don't like Coach but I get why he'd be on a season to celebrate 50 seasons of the show. This cast does not celebrate that though. In no world did Jonathan earn a spot on any returnee season. He gave nothing but whining about everything.

But if I wasn't forced to put one from every season, I'd cut Shauhin, Yam Yam, Omar, and Lauren, and add Andy, Charlie, Cody and one of Savannah/Tiffany/Rachel.

OS Kajun#202

Jawan and Shauhin are your only bad picks. Shauhin was one of the most annoying, cringe losers of the new era? How did you get that so wrong?

Challenge 17#203

Im weak at Claire being there i loved her 

Sportsman180#204

Most of these picks are obvious lol. I'm enjoying Jawan way more than Rizo and I appreciate him not sticking with a shit alliance at the merge. I almost want to give Sage a spot too but I'm off-put by her gross behavior.

If you ignore the edit, 48's endgame is really a battle of wits between Shauhin and Kyle/Kamilla. Of those three, I think Shauhin would play the most interesting returnee game.

Sportsman180#205

I'm really expecting 50 to be dogfecal. I think that many people in 26 days is just gonna be fruitfly  AWFUL.

Challenge 17#206

Shauhin thought he was the main character and he'd be an awful returning player as he'd just play into that. Like his stupid doing the music

Yup. And awful people at that.

OS Kajun#209

I loved her. She was great. I need her, Sabiyah, Helen, & Justine to get 2nd chances!

Challenge 17#210

Ugh I saw a preview for this week yesterday during football and im not excited. 

OS Kajun#211

Nothing exciting has happened all season except a fake cataway removal to make a tv moment.
