The Survivor 50 gamers have been again from Fiji for a couple of weeks now. They’re all clearly on very aggressive NDAs and may’t communicate concerning the outcomes of what occurred, however they’ve been accepted to make innocuous social media posts and provides interviews to hype different tasks. I’ve principally tuned these feedback out, however to be sincere, I can’t cease fixating on one thing OG legend Cirie Fields just lately mentioned.
The multi-time participant, who many name one of the best non-winner in Survivor historical past, was doing an interview with E! On-line, assumedly to push her partnership with Nutri-Grain and the “Not Sorry” marketing campaign, when she was requested about Survivor 50. After all she was going to say constructive issues, however her assertion was so ludicrously excessive that it left me a bit rattled. Take a look at this quote…
I can inform you one factor about season 50, and I have never mentioned this about some other season. I’ve watched since Richard Hatch. I am a fan in addition to a contestant… Greatest season ever. Greatest. Not simply because I used to be there. Greatest. Season. Ever.
Cirie has tricked individuals and pulled off some all-time nice strikes throughout a wide range of actuality competitors reveals, however she’s additionally a measured and considerate one that isn’t usually liable to exaggeration. If Q or Coach informed me this was one of the best season ever, I’d be a bit excited however in all probability assume they had been simply selling the present. For Cirie to say this, I really feel like I’ve to take it a bit extra significantly.
There’s additionally probably a spoiler you could possibly learn into buried inside her feedback. In the event you don’t need to speak about that, then go forward and bail out of this text.
Survivor 50 reportedly stored each participant in Fiji during the sport to stop spoilers, but it surely’s a good assumption that anybody who made the jury can be much more plugged into the gameplay and what occurred on the island than somebody eradicated earlier than the jury. There are some followers who’re taking these feedback to imply Cirie will need to have made not less than a semi-deep run or in any other case she wouldn’t have the knowledge to know whether or not this was probably the greatest seasons ever.
That’s actually a legitimate level, however there’s additionally a wholly affordable counterargument. Cirie was on Heroes Vs Villains, which many followers contemplate the best season within the present’s historical past. She didn’t make the jury after an unexpectedly early exit, however given how shut the Survivor group is and the way a lot loopy stuff occurred, it’s affordable to suppose she in all probability knew she was aside of one thing particular earlier than she truly watched the season. It’s actually attainable the identical factor occurred right here.
I don’t know. I really feel like I might drive myself loopy making an attempt to determine what all of those feedback imply. Sadly, I can’t assist myself and can proceed to invest about essentially the most minor proof as a result of that’s what a Survivor superfan does.
Survivor 50 will not truly air till 2026, however given it is the primary returning season we have had in a very long time, followers have a ton of emotions they don’t seem to be conserving to themselves. I am proper there with them and have achieved my fair proportion of complaining, however principally, I am simply excited to see the way it all performed out. Fingers crossed it actually is one of the best season ever.
