Survivor Premieres Tonight

Wait, is everyone on the tribe gay??

R1, it's just getting harder and harder to tell which males are gay when it comes to the under-30 set.

Here is their pics which Op did not provide. It seems mother must do everything around here

R3, look at all of those little homosexual boys!

Oh dear, not much eye candy here. However, I could go for Jake Latimer, the Correctional officer. He could correct me anytime. Rizo Velovic, Tech sales, might due in a pinch. Even Steven Ramm, the Rocket Scientist, may have some hidden talent. The rest of the boys look like homely queer virgins.

The black guy is flaming. The guy reading the letter is flaming. Karl is flaming or trans. Clit is flaming.

Wait, is that Izzy with the blue shirt and glasses in the second row?

R7, hopefully it is and a Great White eats her in one of the water challenges.

Why does Karl look like a male Ava Pearl?

That video that Op provided is not even for this current season. FF for Op!

The rocket scientist looks like DJ Tanner’s boyfriend, the voice of Aladdin.

Kimberly “Annie” Davis

Looks sort of like Ann B Davis from the Brady Bunch

So far I hate them all

No hot guys. Not even the former stripper.

Aw Magia Mike is cute!

R7 Izzy is on 'Amazing Race' this season, according to the media.

Cutie queer boy in the pink peddle pushers will go first.

I can'r wait to see those two fat black mommas eating nothing but rice for six weeks. Ha Ha!

I hate it when on every premiere episode Jeff pretends to not know the names of the contestants. The very ones he played an active part in casting.

and the ones he calls out by name the second the competition begins

Who are the two tribe members who are also on season 50?

I enjoyed the episode but a Girls and Gayz alliance? Ugh! So stereotypical. Why can’t the gays ever be for the guys?

Clits is a cunt. Why would he just give away the idol?

On what side is the political consultant?

[quote] and the ones he calls out by name the second the competition begins

Can Jeff help himself that he's a quick study?

Please get your eyes examined R17

Ok I am laughing my ass off at Rizo he is hilarious.

Survivor 49 host Jeff Probst calls first vote out 'clearly personal'

I don't get how Probst claims this was personal, Nicole was struggling in every challenge, no one said they were voting for her because they didn't like her. I think she took it personal, I don't think the tribe thought of it as personal, they had to get rid of someone and chose between the two weakest players on their tribe.

Two players were cut from the show just hours before filming began for violating the rules, giving two alternates a chance to play.

Wonder if we will ever know who those two people are.

The two alternates who replaced contestants cut from Survivor 45 just hours before filming began were Bruce Perreault and Claire Rafson. They stepped in after two original castaways were removed for violating the show's rules.

I’ve watched every season and the show has gone so woke I don’t even recognize it anymore. Who the hell cast these players? It’s like they picked them off the street of some metropolis. 🤮 I want my old Survivor back.

R30 Bruce Perreault and Claire Rafson were players on Season 44, this is season 49

The replacements on this season 49 were Michelle “MC” Chukwujekwu and Jason Treul

What I was asking, though I understand the confusion as I wasn't clear what I was asking, was who the people were who violated the rules and got kicked off, I was wondering if we will ever know who they were.

I've been with the show since the beginning, but I just can't muster any enthusiasm for new seasons any longer. Survivor 50 might be the end of the road for me.

Although, I did hear a rumor recently that CBS may extend the show back to 39 days, but it would only run one season per year. When it's not running, Survivor Australia would run in its place. I think that might reignite some interest.

Did we really need that close-up of Nicole throwing up?

[quote]Although, I did hear a rumor recently that CBS may extend the show back to 39 days, but it would only run one season per year. When it's not running, Survivor Australia would run in its place.

That's a great idea. So it won't happen.

I honestly would not mind that at all. The few seasons of Survivor Australia that I was able to see on Paramount Plus (before they were removed) were great. They were reminiscent of old school Survivor and had some really hot men.

[quote] On what side is the political consultant?

R24 on Joker's they are saying Alex was with "Democrat Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky from Illinois"

The show should only be an hour. Going to 90 minutes was a mistake. Also go back to one season a year.

This is quite possibly the most unattractive group of castaways ever, especially the male contingent.

Two contestants were removed from Survivor 49 prior to filming due to violating the show's strict pre-game rules against communicating with other players. This unprecedented decision led to alternates Jason Treul and Michelle “MC” Chukwujekwu joining the cast just hours before the season began.

During the pre-game sequester period, all potential contestants are housed together at a location referred to as Ponderosa. While at Ponderosa, players are explicitly forbidden from speaking to one another to prevent the formation of pre-game alliances or the sharing of information that could compromise the integrity of the game. Handlers are present to enforce this rule.

Host and show runner Jeff Probst explained on his On Fire with Jeff Probst podcast that two players repeatedly disregarded this rule by continuing to talk to each other. The production team received multiple calls from the Ponderosa staff expressing concern over the level of disrespect shown by these individuals. Despite stern warnings, the pair continued their unauthorized communication, escalating the situation to a "blatant level" of disrespect.

Probst, along with the executive team, made the swift decision to remove both players immediately. He stated that the integrity of the game is paramount, and they would not hesitate to remove anyone who jeopardizes it, regardless of the time or money invested in them. The identities of the removed contestants (one man and one woman) have not been publicly disclosed. The remaining cast members reportedly thanked the producers for taking action, as they felt the rule-breaking constituted cheating and created an unfair advantage. This marked the first time in Survivor history that two players were cut for this specific reason before the game officially started.

Hopefully Ozzy won’t show up and give everyone herpes.

R44, too late!

Ozzy is in next season 50

Does the former stripper have a roid gut... or is he too poor to afford steroids? Then again he's from Canada so maybe it's a poutine gut.

[quote]Jake Latimer: 36, a correctional officer from St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.

R33 This is wrong - he's on the Kele team with Alex and the flaming guy Jeremiah (with the frying pan face and pink pedal pushers).

[quote]Does the former stripper have a roid gut... or is he too poor to afford steroids? Then again he's from Canada so maybe it's a poutine gut.

That's what I want to know. He's got nice arms and tits, but the gut...oh my.

How am I supposed to get my rocks off to these fuggos?

r49 I recommend The Challenge. There's always nice eye candy... with lots of fresh meat this season.

R49, what -- you don't want Rizo to sit on your face?

Seriously, whoever did casting this season brought a whole new meaning to the term 'blind casting'. Did these people just send a written resume in with no photos ? one very unattractive, unsexy group of people.

Magic Mike has Glaucoma Dad and a baby being born while he's on the show. Enough with the sob stories! You know he's going to last at least until the letters from home episode so his wife can send in pictures of the kid.

I'm frankly a little shocked that they didn't airlift Eva in to take the place of one of the contestants they booted at Ponderosa.

Eva and Joe are too busy fucking!

Joe is in Survivor 50 which has already filmed but no sign of Ava.

R55, thank goodness! Don't give Jeff any more ideas for future seasons!

Yet another unattractive cast. Ugh. All the excitement at the beginning felt more like an episode of The Price is Right and not Survivor.

One problem with modern Survivor is the show has been going for so long, it only has superfans left to cast. The casual fans have either already been on the show, or they're not interested in applying. Superfans seem more interested in the idea of being on Survivor rather than playing the game, which leads to boring moves. Or they just try to emulate their favorite player from a past season and fail at it miserably. The possibility of facing a social media backlash for how the show portrays you has also probably turned off a lot of prospective players.

Jeremiah’s a male? Could have fooled me.

This is a spoiler so avoid reading this if you don’t want to know who apparently made the season 50 cast from this group.

Rizo, according to RHAP, is one of the 2 players who go on to compete in the all-star season. I have no idea how well he does this season, but he must be memorable for some reason. In his interview I listened to he refers to himself as RizGod.

The winner for this season has apparently already been leaked.

Please, please don’t spoil who wins.

Fan theories and alleged leaks suggest that Savannah Louie is the likely winner

I just watched a YouTube video about the supposed winner of this season. Seemed to me like they were trying really hard to make a case.

It basically boils down to this: One of the 2 current players that will return for next season (50) is apparently on a tribe that doesn't include a former winner. (The other 2 tribes contain one winner each.) Therefore, the theory is that this person must be a winner, in order to fill the "winner slot" on the tribe. The video doesn't, however, consider that maybe only 2 winners are returning, so one tribe was always going to lack a winner.

I don't get them casting a Sophi Balerdi and a Sophie Segreti during the same season, it is hard enough to remember these people without having a Sophie/Shophi combo

Thanks to the asshole who spoiled the alleged winner already.

On a positive note, I love the new opening.

[quote] Thanks to the asshole who spoiled the alleged winner already.

People revealing a winner aren't always correct, honestly I read the post saying who the winner was but I don't even remember who they said, one of the benefits of old age.

I don't care enough about any of them (no hot men) to know their names yet, so if someone tries to spoil it I won't know who they're talking about.

Nicole would have never made it up that ramp, even with the entire team pushing her from behind.

Such an unattractive cast. Not even muscle Jake is dong it for me.

Annie is so 'cutting edge' with that 1984 Cyndi Lauper look.

R68 Is Nicole the fat lezzy who was voted out first last week? If so, you are correct. That tub o lard would never have made it over.

⬆️

That’s her. Instead of going to Ponderosa to sit out the remainder of the season, she asked to be sent to Michfest.
