It’s a good time to be a Survivor legend. The beloved long-running actuality present lately completed filming its fiftieth season, and the fanbase is collectively very excited, to the purpose the place there’s far more dialog than regular in-between seasons. A couple of of these legends together with Cirie, Coach and Colby are returning to really play on Survivor 50, however even those that didn’t go to Fiji are getting requested to share their ideas. Enter Sandra.
The Queen of Survivor lately appeared on Island Speak, and in the course of the convo, she was requested about who she thinks the most important omissions from the season have been. She finally gave three names, and I’m in full alignment with every of them. You possibly can try her reply under…
Who I want would have been on the market? Carolyn. However that’s as a result of she talks to me about it each single day so I want she would have been on the market. How might they not have her? How dare they? Perhaps there’s gonna be a Season 51 as a result of that they had so many nice folks that didn’t make the lower. Jerri would have been nice. Abi would have been nice. I’ve so many expensive pals, close to and expensive to my coronary heart, that I’d have beloved to see on the market.
As a two-time winner and face of the franchise, Sandra is extremely well-connected within the Survivor group and has relationships with plenty of gamers, whether or not they have been throughout her unique period or extra fashionable. Even in the event you set that apart, nonetheless, this reply makes it apparent how aligned she is with the fanbase. I’m not saying Carolyn, Jerri and Abi-Maria are the three contestants followers have most loudly complained about being lower, however they’re all actually within the high ten of contestants followers have most loudly complained about being lower.
Jerri and Abi-Maria, particularly, have been allegedly lower on the final minute and have been among the many closest omissions to really getting forged. Carolyn was lower earlier, however followers (and Carolyn herself) have been so outraged that rumors began swirling that host Jeff Probst was punishing her as a result of he was mad she went on Traitors earlier than returning to play Survivor a second time. We don’t know if that’s true or not, nevertheless it goes to point out the extent of frustration followers have about her not being chosen.
In protection of the producers, choosing the twenty-four gamers for Survivor 50 was all the time going to be an inconceivable job. Greater than 600 folks have performed the US model of the sport, and there are a minimum of 100 {that a} vocal phase of the fanbase want to see return. There was no approach to put collectively a forged everybody would have been pleased with, however I do suppose it’s truthful to say that including extra old style legends like Jerri and Abi-Maria would have doubtless lowered the quantity on among the complaints. Casting Carolyn, most likely the preferred contestant from the so-called New Period, would have helped too.
That being mentioned, there’s an excellent likelihood we’ll doubtless get one other season that includes returning gamers within the close to future. It might not be Survivor 51, as Sandra speculates right here, however I believe it’s going to come back sooner fairly than later. There weren’t any seasons that includes returning gamers between 41 and 49, and all of the fan curiosity has been made it apparent how a lot everybody has been clamoring to see returning gamers. I’d be shocked if producers didn’t give it to us by 55 on the newest.
Survivor 50 is anticipated to premiere within the spring of 2026. Anticipate to listen to much more from Sandra and different legends when the season airs.
