Behind the Screen: Survivor 50

Since its debut in 2000, Survivor has defined the reality competition genre with its mix of physical endurance, social strategy, and raw human drama. Jeff Probst's iconic tribal councils remain appointment television.

With the new era of shorter seasons and evolving twists, Survivor continues to reinvent itself while maintaining the core survival elements that have kept fans engaged across 50 seasons and counting.

Is there a reason why Rupert wouldn't be on this. 50 seems like the time they'd use him...

yall ready for our season 50 WINNER!

OS Kajun#336

It would be a shame if he wasn't on but I don't think he will. I think he'll do Traitors.

JustQR#337

Charlie will be Jeff's new Cochran. 

Imagine if they rig 50 for him.

I pretty much have just watched the first and last episodes from survivor 41 onward. Was Charlie really THAT good? Seems like a lot more luck is involved in the new era seasons so I don't know if anyone can be a survivor savant anymore. 

OS Kajun#339

Charlie is bland and overrated. He just got screwed by his closest ally in the vote so people feel bad for him cause he's a sweet white boy.

mariochristopher__#340

streets saying Genevieve cut.....yeahh this is a chop cus what are you doing?

OS Kajun#341

Genevieve would have been a good mix with OGs but honestly every new era cut for an old schooler is fine by me. 51 can be New Era Second Chances. They have plenty of time to have another shot. This is probably the OGs last chance to ever appear.

Peacekeeper22#342

I think these are the people who were called based on the speculated list:

Season 2: Colby and Jerri

Season 4: Sean

Season 10: Stephenie

Season 12: Cirie

Season 25: Malcolm/Jonathan Penner and Abi

Season 28: Spencer (before being cut) or L.J.

Season 31: Kelley Wentworth

Season 32: Two of Aubry, Cydney or Debbie and Tai

Season 35: Chrissy

Season 37: Christian, Angelina, Davie and one of Gabby or Natalie Cole

Season 41: Shan, Ricard and Xander

Season 42: Omar and Jonathan

Season 43: Jesse (cut from the final casting process)

Season 44: Carolyn (cut from the final casting process)

Season 45: Kaleb

Season 46: Charlie

Season 47: Genevieve

Colby was washed-up and past-it even on season 20, and now it's 15 years later LOL.

OS Kajun#346

Colby was an absolute flop on HvV and it's 100% just the nostalgic factor but I'd be happy to see him back.

OS Kajun#347

I really hope we get someone from Borneo. I feel like we have to for the 50th season right? Probst said Colleen is the returnee they want most that's never been back. He said she always answer their calls, which I'm shocked. The way she disappeared you'd think she'd block all their numbers. I hope she's in her midlife crisis feels and decides "why not".

JustQR#348

I'm telling you if you have a twist where that man loses his vote he'll have a meltdown and it could be glorious tv.

timster3#349

Patiently waiting for twila. They even used her name on the survivor Wii game. No idea why she's been paid dust. 

Hauserman#350

I would love a Twila return.

OS Kajun#351

Twila is so underrated. She should have had Danielle's spot on HvV. 

GoldenRing#352

I love Danielle even if her HvV showing was boring.

She was the oddball pick for her team, unfortunately.

timster3#353

Man imagine if Cirie made the merge. She had Amanda, Parvati, and Dani as former allies she's played with. They'd sacrifice Cirie last but Cirie could pull a Cirie and get Hantz out and it's a whole new end game

I've always thought she was one of the best players that season despite being voted out fourth. She was so brutally robbed, just like on every single season she's been on. It says a lot that one of her most normal exits is her being idoled out.

Apparently she was in the mix to be a captain on 38 which would have been random as hell

CaraMariaLover#356

I would love to see Cirie on 50. While I generally agree that it would be better to see people who have only played once as opposed to people who have played two/three/four times, in most cases, there is a reason that these people have been brought back. We need a mix of people who have only played once and deserved to be brought back like Sean Rector/Vecepia/Natalie Bolton and legends like Cirie/Kelley Wentworth/Aubry/Malcolm.

seeing Cirie get jumped on socials over the ASSUMPTION that she's on 50 doesn't sit right with me. I need to see the WHOLE cast before I'd figure she's fit for it or not because I hate that she was wasted on game changers. I'm fine without seeing her only because she'll be on AU vs the World but assuming she gets robbed on that too they might as well throw her on 50 for shits and giggles too

Cirie is of a select few who I could watch an endless amount of times and never get tired of. I've actually already watched her on a billion shows and have yet to get tired of her. Put her on 50, and then after she wins, put her on The Amazing Race with Jared so that she can be the first person to complete the CBS trifecta.

And you'll never she her win either

OS Kajun#360

Cirie has run her course. She's done 49 seasons of Survivor, BB, Traitors. Put her on DONDI. She makes sense for this and she's good at the game but as a character she's lowkey so overrated. Love her though.

CaraMariaLover#361

And you'll never she her win either
