I would love to see Amber back, but only if Rob isn’t there. I feel like we’ve seen Romber and Rob without Amber, but we’ve never really seen Amber without Rob. Her run on 40 was basically ruined by her own marriage and I think had she not been on a cast with her husband, she might’ve been able to stick around for longer.
My thoughts exactly. The problem is, I don't think Amber would ever do the show again without Rob. I feel like she only did WaW BECAUSE of Rob. I was rooting so hard for Amber to do well going into that season, and to see her out almost immediately was heartbreaking for me.
@@scdwolfboyTrue, I think Amber is probably done with reality TV, which is a shame but I totally get it. It can be a lot, especially nowadays when everyone has such easy access to you. But if she does decide she wants to return to the show, I hope it'll be without Rob so she can truly play as herself and not just be perceived as Amber, Boston Rob's wife.
For season 50 I don't want to see any of the past icons (Rob, Parvati, Sandra, Cirie, Tony, Ozzy, etc). Just because they already been on so many seasons each (which has what has helped to make them legends with as many seasons as they played, and is why we don't have too many "legends" from the past few years since no one has returned.) The legends would end up taking so many of the limited roster spots if they were brought back. We already know how these legends play cause they've been on so many seasons, and we know that they're big personalities that would take up screen time. I would much rather see other interesting contestants get to flush out their game plans on the screens for a second time, than to see the legends who are just gonna override the entire season. So something like another second chances would be fun, and gives a reason as to why there's no legends who've already played 2-5 times. Although it could be interesting to see a legend have to deal with some of the new era big personalities, like is Rob or Tony still good at the game if they have to deal with Q?
Agree. There’s such a massive list of people deserving of a second chance that I just don’t want to see Colby, Jerri, Ozzy, Rupert, Sandra etc. One thing I thought they could do is incorporate some of the legends into the game somehow during challenges and rewards, so they’re not really playing the game but they can make their appearance. Each episode we get to see some different legends. For many of them an expenses paid vacation to Fiji might be enough to get them to do it. Ad for returnees I’d love to see Christian and Devens
Great to see ya Josh! I was loving 30 Years Greater 😢 hope they’ll be more in some form in the future Glad to hear you’re bringing back some scripted tv coverage too :)
I very much doubt that Kel had beef jerky. The source of the "sewed it into his clothes" rumour is on the list of disgraced Survivors from Season 2. Survivors clean their teeth with grass and sticks all the time.
I would be so here for another iteration of Colby and Jerri take Survivor! I agree though that those two plus Tina really do have such varied placements and experiences across each of their three seasons. Also, unless it changed again at some point, I believe the season with the most people to return from it is actually Heroes Vs Villains funnily enough. But yes Australia does have the highest number of first time players returning.
According to the internet, Nick Brown is running for Attorney General for the state of Washington. The primary is August 6th. If that goes south, maybe he'll get sent to Fiji? Jeff loves lawyers.
Believe it or not, Jerri was my original favorite, so I would absolutely love to see her return for season 50. I actually think she could win that season based on how she did in Heroes vs. Villains.
The Survivor Quebec Promos were simple things counting down the days until the premiere of season 1. I only remember Stephen, Drea and I think Andrea in the promos I think
Friendly suggestion: I’m a new fan who found survivor in 2022. I’ve seen every episode and every season, but I have major gaps in knowledge with anything that happened in the survivor world outside of actual aired survivor episodes. For those of us newer fans, would you please provide more context on the castaways that are excluded from consideration for 50? Speaking in this case of the top row of pre-jury in the last slide shown of castaways (Varner aside as his reasons for exclusion happened in aired episodes later on). These wishlist episodes so far have really helped me understand survivor history in new ways, as a new fan. Thank you!
When discussing the top three contestants, it's important to be mindful of their post-show activities and statements, as some may find these topics sensitive. For instance, Kimmi has recently made controversial comparisons involving vaccines and history, as well as statements about certain religious groups that could be considered offensive. Skupin has faced legal issues, recently he was in jail. In my opinion, these developments may not align with the family-friendly nature of the show. These are just my thoughts though and I can see why Mike/Josh did not do in-depth with them!

so happy to listen to Josh Wigler on the podcast. I agree with both of them putting Tina, Colby and Jerri forward. The only thing is that Tina will be in her mid 60s so not sure if that will be a factor of her returning back to the show. I would actually like to see Nick come back as well. I also would like to see Amber comeback and play again without Boston Rob being there but I don't see that happening.
I’d love after all this speculation that they choose only from 41 and up. Would be hilarious. It’s what I’d prefer. Treat 50 as the new ‘all stars’ for these newer players.
@@drewhayes1953I know. I guess I’m thinking like Jeff with his goofy ‘new era’ nonsense. And there’s nobody from 35-39 I need to see again. There’s actually nobody I need to see again, as I never wanted returning players, even back to the original All Stars.
I would love to see Elizabeth back but have a feeling that it would probably wouldn't happen. I would also like to see Kel. Nick, Keith, Kimmi and maybe Colby, Amber would be cool too
Kimmi has posted islamophobic, anti-sematic and anti-vaxx stuff on socials, comparing getting vaccinated to the holocaust. Yeah, she’s never getting contacted by CBS again.
Someone posted in the chat that she posted Anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and Anti-Vax stuff on Facebook. I’m guessing a lot of this stuff is more the reason.
Tina Wesson Colby Donaldson Keith Famie Elisabeth Filarski Rodger Bingham Amber Brkich Nick Brown Jerri Manthey Alicia Calaway Jeff Varner Michael Skupin Kimmi Kappenberg Mitchell Olson Maralyn "Mad Dog" Hershey Kel Gleason Debb Eaton
I don't think Tina is coming back nor Colby. I think Kimmi is probably a sleeper pick, was always memorable TV and has that up trajectory based on her Cambodia finish where she was taken out by double idols on a revote that Keith almost volunteered himself to the house.
I was half-hoping this episode would go over 50 minutes and we'd hear the klaxons go off and a voice say "Podcast failure! Wigler failure! Mike Bloom failure!"
Wish List for each season so far:
Borneo - Gervase, Jenna, Greg, Gretchen
I would put Sean on that list instead of Gretchen but a good list nonetheless
I would love to see Amber back, but only if Rob isn’t there. I feel like we’ve seen Romber and Rob without Amber, but we’ve never really seen Amber without Rob. Her run on 40 was basically ruined by her own marriage and I think had she not been on a cast with her husband, she might’ve been able to stick around for longer.

Yay! Josh Wigler back in these Survivor streets! Love it! ❤
I love Mike's idea of a cast of new era versus one-and-dones from the old era.
I love listening to Josh Wigler talk Survivor. I wish we got it more!
The only 3 old school seasons to have "Yearbook photos" are Borneo, Australia, and Pearl Islands!

always a beautiful day when i can listen to josh wigler talking about survivor again
Skupin Squid Game killed me
what squid game
WOW!!!!! SHOUTOUT JOSH WIGLER!!!!! OR TYLER WIGERT
Great to see ya Josh!
I was loving 30 Years Greater 😢 hope they’ll be more in some form in the future
Glad to hear you’re bringing back some scripted tv coverage too :)
Josh Wigler!
Mike bloom u legend for doing this so mNy cast members I will have forgotten all will get a mention at some point
Top 3: Alicia (I will always wave my finger in your face), Jerri (original villainess), and Mitchell (original blindside).
Hearing josh talk takes me back to highschool.... I definitely have some emotions over this
Truly nice and good hearted people do good at survivor its the turning against people that they have a problem with.
I understand why skupin and varner were looked over, but why kimmi?
She’s posted a lot of radical things lately.
@@csturner48 Like what?
@@Jstanfill she compared covid vaccines to the holocaust and has posted disturbing statements about Muslims
@@LivTheSlayer oh damn yikes
Cheers for the clarification
So great to see Josh again

Love these so much so far!

Legends feel like a closer to the series
Tina must be pushing 65 why was this not discussed
According to the internet, Nick Brown is running for Attorney General for the state of Washington. The primary is August 6th. If that goes south, maybe he'll get sent to Fiji? Jeff loves lawyers.
Nick said he would play again anytime if he was asked on the Survivor Questionnaire too!
Yay! Josh Wigler! Going Down the Hatch!
Believe it or not, Jerri was my original favorite, so I would absolutely love to see her return for season 50. I actually think she could win that season based on how she did in Heroes vs. Villains.
Kimmi should’ve been considered!

Why are they not talking about Jeff, Skupin, and Kimmi? I think I understand Jeff because of the Zeke incident
Skupin was found and arrested for having child pornography, and Kimmi slandered the vaccine by comparing it to the death penalty
I don't know what happened with Kimmi, but Skupin went to prison for..... stuff.
On an unrelated note: Clerks turned 30 this year!! 😊 would be a good podcast idea. Just sayyyying
hearing josh's voice after so long 🥹
I’d love after all this speculation that they choose only from 41 and up. Would be hilarious. It’s what I’d prefer. Treat 50 as the new ‘all stars’ for these newer players.
I think they should at least go 35 and up, because aside from winners there hasn't been any repeats since then.

@@michaelfeeney6108 not even Christian Hubicki?
@@drewhayes1953 Nobody! But I’d rank him on the high end if I had to pick people from those seasons.
I would love to see Elizabeth back but have a feeling that it would probably wouldn't happen. I would also like to see Kel. Nick, Keith, Kimmi and maybe Colby, Amber would be cool too
Excited about tony and caroline
Has Kimmi been canceled? Can anyone show/send where I can go to learn more about her cancellation?
Did we just completely overlook Kimmi and her return? She was super close to winning when she played again!
Kimmi got “cancelled”, I guess. I know she was close with Jeff Varner, maybe guilty by association.
@@jayo.7086 Yeah, it's too bad really.
Kimmi has posted islamophobic, anti-sematic and anti-vaxx stuff on socials, comparing getting vaccinated to the holocaust. Yeah, she’s never getting contacted by CBS again.
@@jayo.7086 Oh, I didn't realize that. I hate cancel culture. No one can have a mind of their own anymore. And I live in Canada, "the free Country."
Someone posted in the chat that she posted Anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and Anti-Vax stuff on Facebook. I’m guessing a lot of this stuff is more the reason.
Skipped Kimmi!! 😢
I think Amber without Rob would be quite interesting
Though I doubt she is going to return
Tina Wesson
Colby Donaldson
Keith Famie
Elisabeth Filarski
Rodger Bingham
Amber Brkich
Nick Brown
Jerri Manthey
Alicia Calaway
Jeff Varner
Michael Skupin
Kimmi Kappenberg
Mitchell Olson
Maralyn "Mad Dog" Hershey
Kel Gleason
Debb Eaton
Why aren’t these in the podcast app??
I would remove Colby and add Amber in (with the hopes that Boston Rob doesn’t play)
Is kimmi also canceled?
I'd only like to see Elisabeth back if we can get Rosie O'Donnell back to host the reunion show just because of how awkward that would be. 🤣
wait I know what varner and micheal did to eliminate them from contention but what did kimmi do??
Can someone fill me in on what kimmi kappenburg did?
Anti-Vax
I’m just saying that’s why she was skipped
I don't think Tina is coming back nor Colby. I think Kimmi is probably a sleeper pick, was always memorable TV and has that up trajectory based on her Cambodia finish where she was taken out by double idols on a revote that Keith almost volunteered himself to the house.
Her stance on vaccines ruined her chances
that entire top row being problematic was such a weird coincidence lol
I know about Jeff and Michael. What did Kimmi do?
Raise the prize to 5 Million CBS. Stop being so cheap.
Amber don't look aged at all
What did Kimmi do?
I was half-hoping this episode would go over 50 minutes and we'd hear the klaxons go off and a voice say "Podcast failure! Wigler failure! Mike Bloom failure!"
Every second place winner?
What no scoopin? Lmao
Probst is more likely to scrap All Returnee concept for Season 50 before he calls Scoopin, lol! 😆🤣
Skupin is a convicted child s.o.
minor correction, iirc it was a different tina who lost her son in a car accident? feel free to correct my correction
Tina from Panama lost her son before filming. Tina Wesson lost her son a couple days before the finale of BvW aired.
Amber would be the only option.. she gotta catch up with Rob by showing up on reality tv.
I can guess why you didn't talk about Jeff Varner, but I am unsure why you ignored Scupin and Kimmi.
Maybe just google skupin
If you google "Michael Skupin sentenced to prison," you will find the answer.
There are three eras.of survivor now. Old school era new school era and the new era. All three are completely dofferent.
Why not kimmi?
Wait Ik about Varner and skupin but what did kimmi do?
I wish that jeff would bring a villain back
I have no want to see Colby again
It looks like they took school pictures
Jerri the original gay icon and mother of survivor.
I think Colby and Jerri’s stories are done
Justice for Kimmi!
