It’d be pretty cool if they expanded the cast to 21 castaways and went back to 39 days for the occasion. That’s what they did for one season of South African Survivor.
I wouldn't want 21 people mostly because it would feel a lot more rushed. I mean just remembering how survivor felt when it was 20 people and 40 minute episodes, it was so rushed. Even though we have 60 minute episodes now I wouldn't wanna go above 20 people.
OMG yes, I think the best format ever is 21 contestants divided in three tribes of seven (seven people in tribe sometimes offer very good things at tribal) then a swap at 18 into two tribes of 9 (same thing with tribes of nine people the best blindsides happen here generally + from three to two seems good as there is no predefined majority unless the one old tribe gets swapped into the same new tribe) and then a merge around 13 or 12 people. But it will likely never happen since that would mean uneven number of men and women and I don’t think production would really consider it
I would've preferred if they did back to back all-star seasons for 49 and 50. 49- new era all-stars and 50 an all-star season encompassing the entire run of the show
honestly i could see this happening, not sure if its gonna be exactly what your comment says but 49 just seems like its gonna be a returnee season along w 50
I think my ideal would be three tribes, representing seasons 1-30, 31-40, and 41-49. This would allow a few old favorites who never got their due to be brought back while also loading the cast with more recent players who never got a chance to return
Wow its surreal how close the cast i made a few days ago to yours: 41 - shan, richard 42 - jonathan, tori 43 - jesse, cody 44 - carolyn, carson 45 - kaleb, emily 46 - Q, venus 47 - genevieve, andy And 4 more yet unknown from 48-49 seasons to a toal of 18 players from the new era, non winners players
Alt picks just in case: 41 - Heather and Xander 42 - Omar and Lydia 43 - Cassidy and Owen 44 - Frannie and Jamie 45 - Sabiyah and Jake 46 - Tevin and Maria 47 - Sol and Tiyana
I think Survivor 50 should be 3 tribes of 8 totaling 24. Either bumping the season back up to 39 days or more double vote outs. This would add another level of difficulty and allow us to see more returning players. A win win scenario?
I know it's not likely and their time has probably passed, but I wish we could get some old schoolers back for 50, players who should have gotten a second chance ages ago but never did like Ian (Palau), Sean (Marquesas) or Michelle (Fiji). But I've accepted that it'll probably just be players from season 31 onward.
Well they started with a pool of 200 players they’d like to see again. While it’s definitely possible for that to be exclusive in the range of 31-49, I think it’s more likely they have four (maybe five in rare cases) picks from each season under legitimate consideration, which only gives us around 80 players. I think we’re definitely having a broader pool of players under consideration. I hope the whole “one year of survivor” turns out to be two returnee seasons back-to-back though. A 30s all-star season followed by a new era all-star cast would be splendid
Hey, I like your name! And I completely agree. Hard to believe Ian never came back, although Kyle reminded me so much of him that it almost felt like he was back this past season.
She probaly won't be back but Natalie Bolton deserves a 2 chanche , she almost won if Amanda won't had the idol and is the reason why Jason and Erik are eliminated
@@actuallyalecEXACTLY , she is ROOBED to get a second chanche and i 100% think that if she is in the season we probaly will get the Black Window brigade 2.0 and Russel probaly will be a pre-merger LOL
You do know he is just going to be shot down with a silver bullet if they put him on the show right? Literally convinced EVERY single member of his origional tribe to trust him and betrayed every single one of them. He is a Dead Man Walking if he comes back, and you know it!
@@roger_towny_jr the point of an all stars season is that EVERYONE is really good at the game, evening the playing field. I mean Sandra literally won twice, anyone can do it.
He's going to get the Cesternino/Yau-Man/Cirie early boot of honor. I'm afraid there's a better chance for a relatively subtle player to return and become king or queen. Remember Parvati or Sarah, they were nothingburgers in their first seasons. I think a player like Cassidy, Mike Turner or Caroline is more likely to win.
Karishma imo would be the best pick from S39. She stomped a Sequester game, she's had a kid recently, and she deserves redemption after being such a scrappy underdog.
Great selection! Agree with all of them except Lauren from 38. I could see Xander being asked back to keep the cast younger. I think Sol should be considered too. So excited
He had the misfortune of playing with a bunch of dinguses who couldn’t tell they were getting steamrolled. Weird number of people just floating through that season despite how baffled Jake was by it.
I could be reading into this too heavily and she is a wildcard so who knows lmao, but something that shocked me was Carolyn posting a Survivor 50 audition video publicly within the past couple months (sort as a joke). But I assumed Carolyn would be one of the FIRST to get a call from the new era. I would’ve guessed she got a call putting her on hold for 50 the moment her season wrapped lol. But posting that kind of video does not give me “I already got a call and have to be concerned about NDA vibes” which makes me seriously curious about their casting angle for this season. Even if she knew they were remotely interested…it seems off to me.
Q, Andy, Genevieve, Christian & Gabby, Devins, Carolyn -- if they don't return, we riot. Charlie, Rachel, Kaleb, Emily, Venus -- I would LOVE to see them all. Lastly? I can't BELIEVE you left off Carson!!!!
Venus shouldn’t come back. She had a poor social game because she would only talk to people about game. She didn’t care to connect with others on a personal level. She complained about no one but Hunter talking with her at Ponderosa, yet says there’s nothing she did wrong. She even picked a fight with the Empire State Building on X/Twitter for no reason. She’s a guaranteed early boot if she comes back and play like she did the first time.
Hot take but I’d be completely fine with the cast being all new era, if they do pre40 close to half the cast would need to be pre40 so they don’t get picked off like 40 Also for the longevity of the show, feel like the more post 40 players we have, the better. Let’s a new age of legends build w/o being in the shadow of past eras. Would love to see Sean Rector play again tho
If we're thinking about relatively old-school options: -Greg Buis would be an insane catch for the show -T-Bird deserves a shot after having missed out on the Second Chance vote -Earl would be an iconic winner to bring back to Fiji -Natalie Bolton is a legend who Jeff still talks about to this day
You can’t leave Kyle Gabe and Sam in the dark from 47 also we need the return of Carson and Danny from 44 Malcolm from 34 Eddie and Reynold from 26 David from 33 Zeke from 33 Natalie napalm and Mike from 37 Genevieve Angelina and Gabby are great picks
During a normal season they cast a mix of young, middle aged and old. I think it would be really interesting to cast young players from 20 years ago in the middle age and old roles. See how they adapt to their new station in life.
For Survivor 50, I want 39 days to return. I want two tribes to return. I want 20 players to return... even better yet take a page out of Australian Survivor's playbook with their 47 day seasons and 24 players. It's been forever since we've had a returnee season, even longer since a non-winners returnee season. We need more players from the 30s to return. I need Christian Hubicki back on my screen again. I also agree with pretty much everyone you mentioned for a return with a few exceptions. In terms of returnees from S39, I'd prefer we saw Lauren and Jamal return.
I got a concept for 50. 3 tribes each representing one of the 3 main traits of survivor. Outplay,outwit and outlast. Or in other words. One tribe that embodys stratagey, one that embodies physical threats and one embodies social threats and all are legends that never won because they lacked the other two. Like for example a social threat could be cirie one of the best to never win but because she never won comps she never got the chance to get to final tribal. For physical I was thinking Joe anglim or Kyle from 47. They were both deemed to big of physical threats and such got eliminated early to make sure they never went on immunity runs. Finally the straticgal threats are those who ether over played and caused themselves to get out because of it ie a Q, or someone who played a amazing game on paper but due to lacking social awareness in their moves they lost like Spencer Bledsoe or a Russell hantz. There are so many legends who fell short because of these aspects and lacking the others it could be a fun season.
Survivor 50 ERAS Old School: Sean Rector Rob C (Bombshell would be awesome) Boston Rob Ethan Amanda Kimmel Cirie T Bird Steph Legrossa New School: (I admit I have missed 5 seasons in the 30s which reflects my list) Dom Rick Devens Malcom Cochran Noura Salman Janet Trish (S26) Natalie Anderson New Era: Jesse Jonathan/Mike Turner Q Andy/Sam/Cody Carolyn Genevieve Dee Shan God, with hour 1/2 episodes could you imagine how awesome it would be to watch that old school tribe dynamic. I understand casting Boston Rob for the 100th time seems silly but it just feels like dynamite TV. Overall, I'd love the idea of ERAS split into 3 tribes.
@@pictureperfect6556 It feels like the cast would be so loaded idk if the old schoolers would just get picked off. Obv Boston Rob would likely be gone very early but would people be gunning for Ethan/Sean over someone like Gen or Jesse? Or Dom? IDK. to celebrate 50 years, I love the idea of an eras season though
RHAP Made a Survivor 50 wishlist earlier this year, and it unironically turned into a very solid cast. The only changes I would make would be to replace the 2 returning players (sorry Wentworth and Cirie) with players from the upcoming seasons.
I think production won’t plan on anyone from 49 since I think they will want the cast figured out before 49 films. I know it’s happened before with Rupert and Russell but you can’t guarantee some from 49 will have that appeal before filming.
Overall, I really liked your cast. My biggest disagreement with you was in S39, I would bring back Kellee, Noura and Dean. Other interesting names I would also call out are Jason (32) and Drew (45).
astronomical content as always peridiam & lowkey it would also be cool to see xander, erika, tori, owen, cassidy, frannie, austin, kellie, rachel, sam, caroline & kyle too tho
I had an Idea if they wanted to keep the 3 tribe format. Heroes V Villains V Vigilantes. Going off the videos list, obviously you have your Heroes for example being Janet, Cydney, Devon, etc. Then the villains in Jesse, Dee, Shan, etc. Then we have Vigilantes. A vigilante is defined on google as "a person who tries in an unofficial way to prevent crime, or to catch and punish someone who has committed a crime." If you replace the word crime with survivor terminology like "Vote off" or "Big Move" you have your Survivor definition. This tribe would have people like Kaleb with the first successful correct play of shot in the dark, Rachel for finding an idol an keeping it secret with that funeral speech/ using shot in the dark to gauge if she needed the idol. Q for all things Q of course scream vigilante. So i would enjoy a themed season like "Heroes v Villains v Vigilantes" if they really went for it.
Personally, I hope they have a 50/50 split between 40+ and pre-40. But I doubt they will. All my favourite seasons are from Koah Rong and earlier and it would be a shame to say goodbye to those castaways, as I doubt they'll be cast in later seasons if they aren't in this one. There are very few post-31 castaways that I'm interested in seeing again as they tend to have similar personalities, so my interest would be a lot less if it's only those seasons. I kind of wish they would do a s49 allstars with just 40+ contestants, then make s50 a more diverse cast from all generations. That gives 40+ a chance to shine while also creating a way for the eras to clash.
My Fantasy pick - Heroes vs Villains 2 Heroes M - Jonathan Young, Rick Devens W - Natalie Bradshaw Villains M - Domenick Abbante, Jesse Lopez W - Natalie Bolton, Shan Smith, Maria Gonzalez 10 - 12 other contestant could be added later
Of all the potential ideas and cast ideas I’ve seen, this is the best. It makes all the sense in the world to go this route, and I wouldn’t have changed a single choice. That being said, it probably won’t happen because I don’t even think Jeff and the producers have this level of awareness of what the show (and fans) want and need.
Janet deserves to be back. She blew her game trying to get Dan out of the game. Tried to get rid of the problem before the producers did. they owe it to her.
This cast that would be better suited to 'part 1' of S50. Jeff has said that Survivor 50 will be a year long celebration so have two games of Survivor playing simultaneously thinking they are the the only players. S1-30 on one island S31-50 on another. After 13 days at the merge, surprise both merge groups by putting them together to a battle to the finish over 26 days. This gives you a 39 day season. It gives you players from every era given a chance to shine within their own era, and allows the cream of the crop to battle it out at a point where they are battle hardened. And gives the mother of all survivor twists that will amaze and excite both players and audiences in S50.
Rome would destroy him. Q was a horrible player who was constantly trying to quit. Rome was super aggressive in his play style and a bully to Sol, but he at least wanted to play the game.
Hell no! Apparently, Rome spoiled the post-merge boot list in an interview. And he was disrespectful towards Sol. Q stands for “Quitter” after trying to get people to vote him out the night Tevin went home.
I may be in the minority here but I don’t care how good or bad a player is sometimes, I care more if they’re interesting and entertaining to watch. Every once in a while, I’ll take a tribe of Jelinskys and Phillip Sheperds over a tribe of Rob and Sandras. Maybe that’s blasphemous but I like what I like. Give me chaos.
Saw this as a thumbnail, before watching it I made a list of my ideal season 50 and it ended up being very similar. The idea being another second chance featuring players from 32 onward. 16/18 people that you mentioned!
what i want for season 50 is players who haven't gotten a second chance. we don't need players who have played 2 times or more cause we can always go to either season to watch them.
Survivor 50: 2-time-Winners-at-War... It's just Sandra and Tony battling each other in challenges & living together for 39 days... Fire-making challenge determines winner at end if neither is medevac'd. Tribal 'Counsel' every 3 days functions as de-facto couples therapy with Jeff as therapist. $5M first place prize.
Man, if Ricard and Shan don't appear on my TV in 2026, I'm going to have words for Mr. Jeff. Since Ricard got voted off, I'm been thinking, that boy needs to come back as many times as it takes to win this game, and having him trying to do that with Shan there would be peak.
Your list is pretty cool, I just want to add Courtney Yates, Hannah Shapiro, and.... Gabler's nemesis, Elie. I want stellar confesionalists and narrators.
Love your thoughts my man!! I’m never a fan of having winners on a regular All Stars so for me I wouldn’t include any for 50 (another WAW or even Winners v non winners maybe) and I do like some of the 30s cast but for me I like the idea of the whole show rebooting from season 41, everything before it being separate. So for that reason… my list from your picks my list would have to be… Shan Ricard Omar jonathon Cody Jesse Carolyn Caleb Emily Q Charlie Genevieve Andy But I’d also throw in Deshawn from 41, Drea from 42, Karla from 43, Danny from 44, Kellie Julie and Katurah from 45, Maria from 46.
I'm not sure if it's very likely at all, but I'd love to see a season with the best to never win, especially after the last milestone season was the best to ever win. 20 legends, some perhaps for the final time, getting one more chance to finally become a Sole Survivor. (Although while going with only multi-time contestants would make for a more experienced cast, they should probably allow one-timers who came up just short in order to at least give a shot to the best non-winners since Game Changers.) I feel like that could make for a thrilling 50th season, although of course there's many other good Season 50 ideas like this one right here. (And hey, even if "One More Chance"/"Best of the Rest" never becomes a reality, at least I can hold out hope for Second Chance 2 at some point, right?)
So I don’t have a list but I want a 24 person cast with 6 person tribes, tribes divided by old school, golden era, new school, and new era. Tribes made up of a winner, runner up, fallen angel (before finale), merge boot, pre merger, and first boot
I’d love if the fabled “one year of survivor celebration” turned out to be two returnee seasons split between the 30s and 40s. Throw in a Michael Yerger or Joe Mena to fill the 30s roster, give us Drew Basile and Karla Cruz Godoy to secure that 40s cast. Back-to-back seasons of all-star returnee casts with these long-awaited players would be legendary
I can see Sabiyah being a fun out of left field type pick for a cast like this. Also if they choose Caleb it’d be a fun storyline to have with those two being back together especially if Emily doesn’t want to return.
I seriously doubt they will cast anyone from 39 to not bring any new eyes on it. Besides that, I also would prefer no winners and no venus. Besides them, you nailed the must-haves.
@@Catr0cheering she’s sophomoric and wouldn’t contribute to the sense of prestige this season should have. Jeff has also said this season should be a celebration and bring people who truly love and will honor the game, and I don’t think she fits under that category as much as other candidates.
@@mystic7934 Sassyness is overrated nobody is better than anyone else I agree. Venus likes hanging around and mocking everyone its a very lame attitude and she is not worthy of it.
The one name I’d add from EoE is Reem. She had such a great personality and I think she deserves a chance in the game, instead of just hanging out on the edge for 30 days.
Personally for me I think season 50 should be a legends season. The best of the best to ever play or at least the best characters. Like just imagine there was an undisputed list of the top 50 players to ever play, that's where this season 50 cast should come from. Certainly not anyone who would rank outside top 100 For me there should have been a returnee season prior and I honestly hope the casting process for 50 makes them realise we need more returnee seasons and so we get more that just one in the next few years. Hell even 3 wouldn't be too many. 51 or 52 should be second chance, 50 should effectively be last chance. Early rumors suggest that's not going to be the case though. It honestly could be a disaster based on the little I have heard but we shall see, I'm sure it will still be great but we will have to wait to find out. There's lots of people I would love to see back but for season 50 I think Colby and Amanda K should both be back. I need to see them get one last chance.
I want Noelle, eh. I think Russell Hantz said Jeff would have to give him a million up-front to make him come back if he had to play with new era players, so you're right: let's just go all new.
Rick devons and andy are definitely on the top of my list to return! I would love to see venus, emily and kaleb. And call me crazy, I'd like to see Sam from 47 return too! He already played a great game and didnt do anything revolutionary, so he probably doesnt need to return, but i think he just had such great game sense the whole time, and he should still be considered
Give me a 49 person cast. One from each season. 1. Richard 2. Colby 3. Lex 4. Sean 5. Shi-Ann 6. Rob Cesternino 7. FairPlay 8. Rupert 9. Chris 10. Tom 11. Stephanie 12. Cirie 13. Ozzy 14. Earl 15. Amanda 16. Parvati 17. Bob 18. JT 19. Russell 20. Sandra 21. Brenda 22. Boston Rob 23. Coach 24. Kim 25. Malcolm 26. Cochran 27. Tyson 28. Kass 29. Natalie (RIP Keith) 30. Mike 31. Spencer 32. Aubry 33. Jay 34. Sarah 35. Devon 36. Dom 37. Christian 38. Devens 39. Janet 40. Tony 41. Shan 42. Maryanne 43. Jesse 44. Carolyn 45. Jake 46. Q 47. Andy 48. ? 49. ?
I really want to see Kyle (47) and Tori (42) back for a returnee season. I noticed quite a few of the new era seasons, Peridiam chose people from the same tribe.
I agree with all your choices, except for the winners! Jeff, are you listening?? I want players from recent seasons! I would be totally fine if it was all players from the 40's. We've had so many great and interesting players gone too soon. From this season, I'd be so happy to see Tiyana, Kishan, Sol. I'm also less inclined to want to see winners back - they've already had their moments of glory. I'd rather see more runner ups, or 4th place finishers. I'm thinking people like Jesse, Carson, Heidi, Drew, Hai, Q, Owen. All the people who were so close, yet so far.
need janet to get her 2nd chance. like thats my hero. ill never forget what she did for those girls. she threw away her game to protect them. not a lot of ppl would do that. she knew that standing up for whats right is worth so much more than a million dollars. and she shouldve never had to make that choice. she deserves a 2nd chance cuz she gave up her 1st chance for something that was all production's fault. they owe her. and the way she went out, bullshit. i was so mad. she almost made it to the end despite putting her game 2nd, then they bring back the stupid nullifier? booo
I'd like Kellee to be asked back. Her game was tanked because she was uncomfortable with creep Dan. Maybe she wouldn't want to come back on, but I'd like there to be an open invite.
I think I agree that this is the direction they go. (Best case for people hoping for old schoolers would be some kind Old Legends vs. New Legends thing). Beyond your list, I think Carson or Drew make it on but not both. Sleeper pick is Noelle
I suggest survivor increase the players to 24 and 39 days. Here are my picks: Brad (27, 34) Malcolm (25, 26, 34) Joe (30, 31, 34) Aubry (32) Jay (33) Chrissy (35) Domenick (36) Devens (38) Wenrworth (29, 31, 38) Christian (37) Angelina (37) Shan (41) Ricard (41) Jonathan (42) Omar (42) Jesse (43) Cody (43) Carolyn (44) Carson (44) Emily (45) Austin (45) Q (46) Tiffany (46) Andy (47) Genevieve (47) That's a lot but thats my picks
If I were making up a season of Survivor, I would pick a season where all the contestants were the first person voted out in their season. I would work back chronologically from the most recent season. my reasoning is that even the first person voted out each season was picked as someone the producers thought had a chance to win. Very likely those people were, for the most part, very unlucky. It would be interesting to create a season where those people had a chance - - at least some of them - - to show what they could really do.
I totally agree that it should be one-time players from the mid-30s to the present. Maybe throw in an old school player or two like Shane or T-Bird (again, only people who have played once). I am a bit interested in the idea of doing a fan vote like Second Chance but I wonder how that would work? You still need to adhere to the diversity initiative and what if the fans vote for a predominantly white cast? Most of your choices seem a bit obvious but also right on the money. They're obvious for a reason, after all. Although I would just throw around Island of the Idols. Lauren? Victoria? Nah. That and I'd just leave out the winners. Dee is great but she has nothing to prove and would be a massive target.
It’d be pretty cool if they expanded the cast to 21 castaways and went back to 39 days for the occasion. That’s what they did for one season of South African Survivor.
I wouldn't want 21 people mostly because it would feel a lot more rushed. I mean just remembering how survivor felt when it was 20 people and 40 minute episodes, it was so rushed. Even though we have 60 minute episodes now I wouldn't wanna go above 20 people.
OMG yes, I think the best format ever is 21 contestants divided in three tribes of seven (seven people in tribe sometimes offer very good things at tribal) then a swap at 18 into two tribes of 9 (same thing with tribes of nine people the best blindsides happen here generally + from three to two seems good as there is no predefined majority unless the one old tribe gets swapped into the same new tribe) and then a merge around 13 or 12 people.
But it will likely never happen since that would mean uneven number of men and women and I don’t think production would really consider it

@@nolanrussell6326 We need a heroes vs villains 2: New Era, then 50 should be legends.

Karishma imo would be the best pick from S39. She stomped a Sequester game, she's had a kid recently, and she deserves redemption after being such a scrappy underdog.
Yes - she’s the Eliza of the new “Survivor” era. I can see her doing a lot better a second time.
Andy coming back for 50 to be the first boot. Lock it in
Like it was meant to be
Unless the bring Liz back (Survivor 46).
Still want him.
Season 50 picks started in 46 so Andy doesn't seem likely for this one
@@Ryno12345able Are you sure? I would think the cutoff would be at season 48.
Great selection! Agree with all of them except Lauren from 38. I could see Xander being asked back to keep the cast younger. I think Sol should be considered too. So excited
I feel like Jake from 45 would be a good cast, I feel like he had good idea but was trapped on a tribe of people who couldn't work together
Same - he did everything he could do. It just didn’t go his way.
He had the misfortune of playing with a bunch of dinguses who couldn’t tell they were getting steamrolled. Weird number of people just floating through that season despite how baffled Jake was by it.
I could be reading into this too heavily and she is a wildcard so who knows lmao, but something that shocked me was Carolyn posting a Survivor 50 audition video publicly within the past couple months (sort as a joke). But I assumed Carolyn would be one of the FIRST to get a call from the new era. I would’ve guessed she got a call putting her on hold for 50 the moment her season wrapped lol. But posting that kind of video does not give me “I already got a call and have to be concerned about NDA vibes” which makes me seriously curious about their casting angle for this season. Even if she knew they were remotely interested…it seems off to me.
I don’t think she’s getting a call because she was on the traitors season 3
Carolyn did not get called, Redmond has confirmed
Q, Andy, Genevieve, Christian & Gabby, Devins, Carolyn -- if they don't return, we riot. Charlie, Rachel, Kaleb, Emily, Venus -- I would LOVE to see them all. Lastly? I can't BELIEVE you left off Carson!!!!
YES I NEED MY GEORGIA GAY BOY (god he is closeted i think) ? anyways hes hot. 🥵
Venus shouldn’t come back.
She had a poor social game because she would only talk to people about game. She didn’t care to connect with others on a personal level.
She complained about no one but Hunter talking with her at Ponderosa, yet says there’s nothing she did wrong.
She even picked a fight with the Empire State Building on X/Twitter for no reason.
She’s a guaranteed early boot if she comes back and play like she did the first time.
Genuinely curious why Gabby? Feel like she’s not close to the same level as the others
this is pretty much exactly who i want back
Hot take but I’d be completely fine with the cast being all new era, if they do pre40 close to half the cast would need to be pre40 so they don’t get picked off like 40
Also for the longevity of the show, feel like the more post 40 players we have, the better. Let’s a new age of legends build w/o being in the shadow of past eras. Would love to see Sean Rector play again tho
If we're thinking about relatively old-school options:
-Greg Buis would be an insane catch for the show
-T-Bird deserves a shot after having missed out on the Second Chance vote
-Earl would be an iconic winner to bring back to Fiji
-Natalie Bolton is a legend who Jeff still talks about to this day
I could definitely see Greg and Earl coming back, they've both been asked before and wanted to but life intervened.
So glad you have Jay on this list. I need to seem him on Survivor again. The Challenge just isn’t the same.
The intro cracked me up dude hahaha
You can’t leave Kyle Gabe and Sam in the dark from 47 also we need the return of Carson and Danny from 44 Malcolm from 34 Eddie and Reynold from 26 David from 33 Zeke from 33 Natalie napalm and Mike from 37 Genevieve Angelina and Gabby are great picks
During a normal season they cast a mix of young, middle aged and old. I think it would be really interesting to cast young players from 20 years ago in the middle age and old roles. See how they adapt to their new station in life.
For Survivor 50, I want 39 days to return. I want two tribes to return. I want 20 players to return... even better yet take a page out of Australian Survivor's playbook with their 47 day seasons and 24 players. It's been forever since we've had a returnee season, even longer since a non-winners returnee season. We need more players from the 30s to return. I need Christian Hubicki back on my screen again.
I also agree with pretty much everyone you mentioned for a return with a few exceptions. In terms of returnees from S39, I'd prefer we saw Lauren and Jamal return.
Outside of Christian, the other "must have" player that I need to see return is Jesse from S43.
I got a concept for 50. 3 tribes each representing one of the 3 main traits of survivor. Outplay,outwit and outlast. Or in other words. One tribe that embodys stratagey, one that embodies physical threats and one embodies social threats and all are legends that never won because they lacked the other two. Like for example a social threat could be cirie one of the best to never win but because she never won comps she never got the chance to get to final tribal. For physical I was thinking Joe anglim or Kyle from 47. They were both deemed to big of physical threats and such got eliminated early to make sure they never went on immunity runs. Finally the straticgal threats are those who ether over played and caused themselves to get out because of it ie a Q, or someone who played a amazing game on paper but due to lacking social awareness in their moves they lost like Spencer Bledsoe or a Russell hantz. There are so many legends who fell short because of these aspects and lacking the others it could be a fun season.
Survivor 50 ERAS
Old School:
Sean Rector
Rob C (Bombshell would be awesome)
Boston Rob
Ethan
Amanda Kimmel
Cirie
T Bird
Steph Legrossa
New School: (I admit I have missed 5 seasons in the 30s which reflects my list)
Dom
Rick Devens
Malcom
Cochran
Noura Salman
Janet
Trish (S26)
Natalie Anderson
New Era:
Jesse
Jonathan/Mike Turner
Q
Andy/Sam/Cody
Carolyn
Genevieve
Dee
Shan
God, with hour 1/2 episodes could you imagine how awesome it would be to watch that old school tribe dynamic. I understand casting Boston Rob for the 100th time seems silly but it just feels like dynamite TV. Overall, I'd love the idea of ERAS split into 3 tribes.
@@patch2578 no Tony?
@@patch2578 just feels like you are setting up the fanbase to suck, if old schoolers are targeted a big part of the fanbase always gets pissy
@@pictureperfect6556 It feels like the cast would be so loaded idk if the old schoolers would just get picked off. Obv Boston Rob would likely be gone very early but would people be gunning for Ethan/Sean over someone like Gen or Jesse? Or Dom? IDK. to celebrate 50 years, I love the idea of an eras season though
RHAP Made a Survivor 50 wishlist earlier this year, and it unironically turned into a very solid cast.
The only changes I would make would be to replace the 2 returning players (sorry Wentworth and Cirie) with players from the upcoming seasons.
I want you on the show, Billy
I think production won’t plan on anyone from 49 since I think they will want the cast figured out before 49 films. I know it’s happened before with Rupert and Russell but you can’t guarantee some from 49 will have that appeal before filming.
Yes yes yes to Rick Devens, Christian and Elaine!!!! Oh and giant Johnathan.
Andy is so fun to watch, he needs to be on 50
As long as it’s 39 days and features a more classic spin on it, you know…what a celebration SHOULD be, I’m all good with whoever they cast!
Overall, I really liked your cast. My biggest disagreement with you was in S39, I would bring back Kellee, Noura and Dean. Other interesting names I would also call out are Jason (32) and Drew (45).
Needs more Jake O’Kane 🙏🏼
YESS
Awesome video as always!
astronomical content as always peridiam & lowkey it would also be cool to see xander, erika, tori, owen, cassidy, frannie, austin, kellie, rachel, sam, caroline & kyle too tho
I had an Idea if they wanted to keep the 3 tribe format. Heroes V Villains V Vigilantes. Going off the videos list, obviously you have your Heroes for example being Janet, Cydney, Devon, etc. Then the villains in Jesse, Dee, Shan, etc. Then we have Vigilantes. A vigilante is defined on google as "a person who tries in an unofficial way to prevent crime, or to catch and punish someone who has committed a crime." If you replace the word crime with survivor terminology like "Vote off" or "Big Move" you have your Survivor definition. This tribe would have people like Kaleb with the first successful correct play of shot in the dark, Rachel for finding an idol an keeping it secret with that funeral speech/ using shot in the dark to gauge if she needed the idol. Q for all things Q of course scream vigilante. So i would enjoy a themed season like "Heroes v Villains v Vigilantes" if they really went for it.
Personally, I hope they have a 50/50 split between 40+ and pre-40. But I doubt they will. All my favourite seasons are from Koah Rong and earlier and it would be a shame to say goodbye to those castaways, as I doubt they'll be cast in later seasons if they aren't in this one. There are very few post-31 castaways that I'm interested in seeing again as they tend to have similar personalities, so my interest would be a lot less if it's only those seasons. I kind of wish they would do a s49 allstars with just 40+ contestants, then make s50 a more diverse cast from all generations. That gives 40+ a chance to shine while also creating a way for the eras to clash.
My Fantasy pick - Heroes vs Villains 2
Heroes
M - Jonathan Young, Rick Devens
W - Natalie Bradshaw
Villains
M - Domenick Abbante, Jesse Lopez
W - Natalie Bolton, Shan Smith, Maria Gonzalez
10 - 12 other contestant could be added later
Of all the potential ideas and cast ideas I’ve seen, this is the best. It makes all the sense in the world to go this route, and I wouldn’t have changed a single choice. That being said, it probably won’t happen because I don’t even think Jeff and the producers have this level of awareness of what the show (and fans) want and need.
Janet deserves to be back. She blew her game trying to get Dan out of the game. Tried to get rid of the problem before the producers did. they owe it to her.
After watching this great video I desperately need to see an updated heroes vs villains 2 video for the same period
This cast that would be better suited to 'part 1' of S50.
Jeff has said that Survivor 50 will be a year long celebration so have two games of Survivor playing simultaneously thinking they are the the only players.
S1-30 on one island S31-50 on another. After 13 days at the merge, surprise both merge groups by putting them together to a battle to the finish over 26 days.
This gives you a 39 day season.
It gives you players from every era given a chance to shine within their own era, and allows the cream of the crop to battle it out at a point where they are battle hardened.
And gives the mother of all survivor twists that will amaze and excite both players and audiences in S50.
I love this list. Really happy to hear the mention of Victoria, Lauren, Janet. Wouldn't mind seeing Jamal, either.
I agree. The casting has been amazing lately. Let's give these people another chance.
Please just give me Q and Rome on the same tribe, OH THE CHAOS
Rome would destroy him. Q was a horrible player who was constantly trying to quit. Rome was super aggressive in his play style and a bully to Sol, but he at least wanted to play the game.
They are not letting Rome come back 💀 bro spoiled the boot order because he lost
Rome is gonna be blacklisted by cbs after spoiling the boot order in exit interviews
Hell no!
Apparently, Rome spoiled the post-merge boot list in an interview. And he was disrespectful towards Sol.
Q stands for “Quitter” after trying to get people to vote him out the night Tevin went home.
I may be in the minority here but I don’t care how good or bad a player is sometimes, I care more if they’re interesting and entertaining to watch.
Every once in a while, I’ll take a tribe of Jelinskys and Phillip Sheperds over a tribe of Rob and Sandras. Maybe that’s blasphemous but I like what I like. Give me chaos.
Let's get T Bird at least!
Saw this as a thumbnail, before watching it I made a list of my ideal season 50 and it ended up being very similar. The idea being another second chance featuring players from 32 onward. 16/18 people that you mentioned!
what i want for season 50 is players who haven't gotten a second chance. we don't need players who have played 2 times or more cause we can always go to either season to watch them.
this season's cast was one of my favorites ngl
Survivor 50:
2-time-Winners-at-War...
It's just Sandra and Tony battling each other in challenges & living together for 39 days...
Fire-making challenge determines winner at end if neither is medevac'd.
Tribal 'Counsel' every 3 days functions as de-facto couples therapy with Jeff as therapist.
$5M first place prize.
Ever since 41, I've wanted to see Ricard again. LOVED his game
I’d love to see Carson return. He embodied the show geek who changed his life to do the show, and won the hearts of the audience. Bring him back!
Second Chance 2? That is one way to get fans involved with the casting. We can vote for people just like we did for the first one.
Man, if Ricard and Shan don't appear on my TV in 2026, I'm going to have words for Mr. Jeff. Since Ricard got voted off, I'm been thinking, that boy needs to come back as many times as it takes to win this game, and having him trying to do that with Shan there would be peak.
Great shortlist!
Your list is pretty cool, I just want to add Courtney Yates, Hannah Shapiro, and.... Gabler's nemesis, Elie. I want stellar confesionalists and narrators.
starting off the video with a jeff probst fanfic was unexpected but i appreciate it
This is a very solid list!
Love your thoughts my man!! I’m never a fan of having winners on a regular All Stars so for me I wouldn’t include any for 50 (another WAW or even Winners v non winners maybe) and I do like some of the 30s cast but for me I like the idea of the whole show rebooting from season 41, everything before it being separate. So for that reason… my list from your picks my list would have to be…
Shan Ricard
Omar jonathon
Cody Jesse
Carolyn
Caleb Emily
Q Charlie
Genevieve Andy
But I’d also throw in Deshawn from 41, Drea from 42, Karla from 43, Danny from 44, Kellie Julie and Katurah from 45, Maria from 46.
Let’s get a few old schoolers like Natalie Bolton and Sean Rector back. Also the lack of Karishma is disgusting
For old school, get Shane Powers back no matter what! Also bring back Ian from “Palau” and Billy from “Cook Islands”.
They should only bring back players from the 30's and the new era in my opinion. The older players are great but they had their time to shine.
Good picks, Charlie, Christian and Jesse we must get back.
How large of a cast would you get with all members who were never voted out but didn't make FTC(fire making/rock draw)?
Gotta have Russell Hantz on the cast
What do you think about Michael from Ghost Island?
Thank you for putting respect on mama Janet’s name 🫶🙏
I'm not sure if it's very likely at all, but I'd love to see a season with the best to never win, especially after the last milestone season was the best to ever win. 20 legends, some perhaps for the final time, getting one more chance to finally become a Sole Survivor. (Although while going with only multi-time contestants would make for a more experienced cast, they should probably allow one-timers who came up just short in order to at least give a shot to the best non-winners since Game Changers.) I feel like that could make for a thrilling 50th season, although of course there's many other good Season 50 ideas like this one right here. (And hey, even if "One More Chance"/"Best of the Rest" never becomes a reality, at least I can hold out hope for Second Chance 2 at some point, right?)
Great list!!!! Im interested 🤔
The clip at the end: who was Colleen referencing when she said her and Greg were covering for someone?
What about Xander from s41?
oh god no
@@nicholasyerovi3443 right? He’s a much better pick than Ricard and he’s gotten insanely hot
So I don’t have a list but I want a 24 person cast with 6 person tribes, tribes divided by old school, golden era, new school, and new era. Tribes made up of a winner, runner up, fallen angel (before finale), merge boot, pre merger, and first boot
If we cast players from the first couple of seasons I'm worry that they're not going do well and fall to the way side like Kelly Wiggleworth.
I’d love if the fabled “one year of survivor celebration” turned out to be two returnee seasons split between the 30s and 40s. Throw in a Michael Yerger or Joe Mena to fill the 30s roster, give us Drew Basile and Karla Cruz Godoy to secure that 40s cast.
Back-to-back seasons of all-star returnee casts with these long-awaited players would be legendary
I can see Sabiyah being a fun out of left field type pick for a cast like this. Also if they choose Caleb it’d be a fun storyline to have with those two being back together especially if Emily doesn’t want to return.
I seriously doubt they will cast anyone from 39 to not bring any new eyes on it. Besides that, I also would prefer no winners and no venus. Besides them, you nailed the must-haves.
Why no Venus?
@@Catr0cheering she’s sophomoric and wouldn’t contribute to the sense of prestige this season should have. Jeff has also said this season should be a celebration and bring people who truly love and will honor the game, and I don’t think she fits under that category as much as other candidates.
@@mystic7934 Sassyness is overrated nobody is better than anyone else I agree. Venus likes hanging around and mocking everyone its a very lame attitude and she is not worthy of it.
The one name I’d add from EoE is Reem. She had such a great personality and I think she deserves a chance in the game, instead of just hanging out on the edge for 30 days.
I've been gone for just about 5 years. But Imma watch survivor 50
Personally for me I think season 50 should be a legends season. The best of the best to ever play or at least the best characters. Like just imagine there was an undisputed list of the top 50 players to ever play, that's where this season 50 cast should come from. Certainly not anyone who would rank outside top 100
For me there should have been a returnee season prior and I honestly hope the casting process for 50 makes them realise we need more returnee seasons and so we get more that just one in the next few years. Hell even 3 wouldn't be too many.
51 or 52 should be second chance, 50 should effectively be last chance.
Early rumors suggest that's not going to be the case though. It honestly could be a disaster based on the little I have heard but we shall see, I'm sure it will still be great but we will have to wait to find out.
There's lots of people I would love to see back but for season 50 I think Colby and Amanda K should both be back. I need to see them get one last chance.
All I know is Russel and Tony need to be on that season.
Andy's journey could be it's own documentary.
The 30s are the most underrated era of survivor.
I want Noelle, eh. I think Russell Hantz said Jeff would have to give him a million up-front to make him come back if he had to play with new era players, so you're right: let's just go all new.
Two teams of ten, one from one-time players from the 20s and 30s, and one from players from the 40s
I would love to have an underdog season with Heather from 41, Emily from 45, and maybe Andy from this latest season
Rick devons and andy are definitely on the top of my list to return! I would love to see venus, emily and kaleb.
And call me crazy, I'd like to see Sam from 47 return too! He already played a great game and didnt do anything revolutionary, so he probably doesnt need to return, but i think he just had such great game sense the whole time, and he should still be considered
jessie is the main person i would want to see back from the 40-45s
I think Millennials vs GenX should get a look too, because going back to back is tough.
Give me a 49 person cast. One from each season.
1. Richard

I really want to see Kyle (47) and Tori (42) back for a returnee season. I noticed quite a few of the new era seasons, Peridiam chose people from the same tribe.
I agree with all your choices, except for the winners! Jeff, are you listening?? I want players from recent seasons! I would be totally fine if it was all players from the 40's. We've had so many great and interesting players gone too soon. From this season, I'd be so happy to see Tiyana, Kishan, Sol. I'm also less inclined to want to see winners back - they've already had their moments of glory. I'd rather see more runner ups, or 4th place finishers. I'm thinking people like Jesse, Carson, Heidi, Drew, Hai, Q, Owen. All the people who were so close, yet so far.
I have a connection that is very close to Shan from season 41. Confirmed that she got the call and has accepted for Survivor season 50.
need janet to get her 2nd chance. like thats my hero. ill never forget what she did for those girls. she threw away her game to protect them. not a lot of ppl would do that. she knew that standing up for whats right is worth so much more than a million dollars. and she shouldve never had to make that choice. she deserves a 2nd chance cuz she gave up her 1st chance for something that was all production's fault. they owe her. and the way she went out, bullshit. i was so mad. she almost made it to the end despite putting her game 2nd, then they bring back the stupid nullifier? booo
I'd like Kellee to be asked back. Her game was tanked because she was uncomfortable with creep Dan. Maybe she wouldn't want to come back on, but I'd like there to be an open invite.
I think I agree that this is the direction they go. (Best case for people hoping for old schoolers would be some kind Old Legends vs. New Legends thing). Beyond your list, I think Carson or Drew make it on but not both. Sleeper pick is Noelle
I suggest survivor increase the players to 24 and 39 days. Here are my picks:
Brad (27, 34)
Malcolm (25, 26, 34)
Joe (30, 31, 34)
Aubry (32)
Jay (33)
Chrissy (35)
Domenick (36)
Devens (38)
Wenrworth (29, 31, 38)
Christian (37)
Angelina (37)
Shan (41)
Ricard (41)
Jonathan (42)
Omar (42)
Jesse (43)
Cody (43)
Carolyn (44)
Carson (44)
Emily (45)
Austin (45)
Q (46)
Tiffany (46)
Andy (47)
Genevieve (47)
That's a lot but thats my picks
If I were making up a season of Survivor, I would pick a season where all the contestants were the first person voted out in their season. I would work back chronologically from the most recent season. my reasoning is that even the first person voted out each season was picked as someone the producers thought had a chance to win. Very likely those people were, for the most part, very unlucky. It would be interesting to create a season where those people had a chance - - at least some of them - - to show what they could really do.
I need one of my finance queens back 😭 Either Chrissy or Emily Flippen Financial Analyst, but both would be amazing
I totally agree that it should be one-time players from the mid-30s to the present. Maybe throw in an old school player or two like Shane or T-Bird (again, only people who have played once).
I am a bit interested in the idea of doing a fan vote like Second Chance but I wonder how that would work? You still need to adhere to the diversity initiative and what if the fans vote for a predominantly white cast?
Most of your choices seem a bit obvious but also right on the money. They're obvious for a reason, after all. Although I would just throw around Island of the Idols. Lauren? Victoria? Nah. That and I'd just leave out the winners. Dee is great but she has nothing to prove and would be a massive target.
Jay isn't getting the call because he is Now a Challenger.
