I love how he calls it the “budget era” instead of the “new era”

He's not wrong

[@SurvivorAndBone]

@@iankinnell5643 True. We would have needed a new name for it anyway after it became outdated

I hope season 50 has 39 days cause I wanna see how the new era folks handle it

[@iankinnell5643]

Agreed

[@TheRebelDog]

What a coincidence that Jeff announces that 50 is returning players yesterday.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

It worked out beautifully.

[@meredithwhite5790]

I really hope they bring back some pre-40 players for Season 50. I would love to see Christian, Dom, and Devens get another shot especially. And old school players like Shane Powers would be a lot of fun. I'm guessing it is more likely to be along the lines of Second Chances 2 because I think there needs to be new era players that play twice before there is something like a Legends season.

[@esinger23]

Great choices

[@martonyomchale342]

Shane won't be asked back on a seaosn with 50% POC casting as he's spoken against it on social media. A lot of the White players pre season 41 wouldn't survive on the current format and Shane is one of them. It would take all of two seconds for him to piss off his majority POC tribe to be unceremoniously dumped as an early pre merge vote off. Not to mention the newer cast would have pre gammed and have closer relationships.

[@user-qn3np8xd4u]

devens was robbed in edge of extinction

“Budget era” - love this terminology, much more accurate

[@BatCaveOz]

I remain confident that Angelina has not achieved any self-awareness. (I heard that she got rice for the team once, and never spoke of it again).

[@annrodriguez2891]

she was so shallow...she should sell kiddie pools

[@tylerhaggerty4805]

Hearing that Parvati got a call is both comforting that they're still willing to cast old school players, but discouraging that they might go back to the same old well instead of giving other terrific people a second shot.

[@aperson22222]

Yeah, really. With all due respect, we’ve seen everything there is to see from her.

[@eggwonna]

Agree with this. Some of the players, while very good and entertaining, have returned so many times that I think they need to stop 😂 I personally am not a Parvati fan to begin with so I’d be disappointed to see her take a spot, but I know she’s a fan favorite.

[@GloryInWonderland]

We need a ‘Survivor: Season of Chaos’ where it’s just all of the most chaotic players who ever played. Half the cast of Gabon, Angelina, Coach, Carolyn, Coach, Shamboe, Shane, Emily, etc.

[@tgraham1961]

That’s the only place I would want to see Emily back. Survivor is survivor, not “learn not to be a sociopath”

[@tgraham1961]

Also need Abi Maria in there. That would make a great season.

[@miknoid5243]

gotta have chaos kass back in there too

[@MrBro-py6oy]

I know this sounds like an Edge twist but after Winners at War, I feel that all All-Star seasons, players who gets voted out (or evacuated) should be on the jury.

[@dbolt_]

Your old school picks are really great choices. Lots of entertaining players who have the potential to play a much better game with small tweaks and having learned from their seasons.

Other than Shan and Carolyn, our new school wishlists are pretty much the exact same (I only say pretty much because Dom wasn't originally on my list, but you convinced me that he should be)

[@Rias-sl6fq]

I think there needs to be a survivor new era all stars so that all the new era players get their own time to mix with each other. I feel like if we have players from seasons 1-40 compete with the new era players it will just clash

[@martonyomchale342]

It will be a repeat of Winners at War. The newer winners banned together to vote off the older winners. It's not mistake the majority of the winners at the end came from the later seasons (28-39). I know ppl want to see players post game changers, and before that but the majority of the season 50 cast will be from seasons 41-49. The older players will just be dumped off early and have their reputation tarnished. The truth is season 40 should have been All Stars/Second chance 2 for everyone from seasons 24-39. An all winners seasons would of made more sense season 50 as we'd have more POC winners for representation.

[@patrickmccormick2826]

This is such a good list

Also tho, I loved this list, Christian and Devens are by far some of my favorite players

[@nvm9040]

Probably any player from 30-41 might be brought back but I don’t think anyone before heroes vs villains at the earliest because that might not be possible for any reason but who knows

[@snobey]

From the old schoolers I would've picked Earl. Firstly, all stars season imo needs a former winner (even if it would've left a major target on his back). Secondly, he was asked back so many times, but only had to refuse, so maybe now he could've appeared

[@successfulsomewhat]

I, personally, would love for it to be New Era All Stars, but I wouldn’t mind older players back

[@aperson22222]

I think Rick and Jesse would end up like Rob C or Yau Man: knocked out right away and diminishing their legacies by looking out of it, or at the very least not adding anything new. If you bring Shan you're going to need to bring Ricard too. There are certain pairs that are just so inextricably linked in such complex ways that they should always be treated as a package deal. I don't think I would consider anyone from before S34 and I _really_ don't think I would consider anyone from before S20. You did name a number of people from those early seasons whom I recently put on a list I made in response to the question "If I could see one player who never got brought back from each season, who would it be?" But realistically I think the ship has long since sailed on all of them.

[@survivorturnover]

q, venus, kenzie & charlie for season 50 tho

[@kingofthorns203]

Taj is always my first pic for a returnee player. It's probably because she's been so vocal about how she never plans on returning despite many offers to do so. I think we might have to settle for the various SWV miniseries

[@samno2088]

My two biggest concerns for a new school v old school season is 1: The age differences. Most of the pre HvV players are getting up there in age (45-60 years old) while new school, for the most part would be considerably younger. Don’t think it would necessarily be as lopsided as season 21 but it’s definitely a concern. And 2: We’ve already seen a bit of a glimpse of what a new school v old school season would look like with WaW. Old school got smoked. And now the game is even faster and more chaotic. It would be nice to see a bunch of old school players but it would suck to see them get annihilated as soon as they step on the island. I think a 2nd Second Chance, including only one time players since the last second Chance season would be the most fun and realistic season 50 we could ask for
