I think Erik Reichenbach should be considered a legend since he's at the center of one of the most replayed moments in Survivor history.

[@BigShowGunnoe]

Erik Reichenbach for 50!

[@Odedh]

Im for 49 being New Era All Stars and 50 being Legends

[@survivorspecialists]

This feels like the best case scenario

[@supermish8912]

Once I saw Peridiam on the pod i knew it was gonna be great

[@Joshhowwaa]

I could definitely see Kelley Wentworth being at least asked to be on 50 from the 21-32 era

[@zack3961]

I think with them talking about making it a year long celebration we might know who the cast is before they leave to play.

[@thechoppingblock1400]

I wish they did an All star season at some point in the 40s before season 50 just to give these one time players a chance to become “legends” because they will have on Rob Sandra Parvati, and when you have a cast of super mega stars and solid one time players it just is a predictable boot order, but when everyone’s “threat level” is on the same status then it creates for interesting gameplay. All stars for example you see a lot of duds make it far, and I don’t need that on 50

[@ajkontsis752]

What about Sophie Clark? I feel like she killed it on WaW until her blindside and she proved that she deserved her win on South Pacific, but also having some unfinished business at the same time

[@JamesMeyer2]

Heroes vs. Villains and Winners at War were so special that it's impossible to have an all-returnee season that has no restrictions (i.e. Second Chances or New Era All-Stars) without contestants from those seasons.

[@deandavidson8257]

Just a heads up Drew from season 45 just upset a 14 day champion on Jeopardy! earlier tonight.

[@GK-ob1ni]

Here's who I would like to see again: Devon (Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers) Chrissy (Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers) Rick Devens (Edge of Extinction) Dominic (Ghost Island) Davie (David vs. Goliath) Christian (David vs. Goliath) Angelina (David vs. Goliath) Courtney (China) Shane (Panama) Jerri (Australia) Lex (Africa) Rob C.

leave the goats off your list for a Legends season

[@GK-ob1ni]

I was just listing people I would like to see play again, not necessarily legends. Who do you think are the goats?

[@patrickcallahan9206]

@@GK-ob1ni jake, venus, Q, carolyn, kind of eliza and kass

[@jacobburklow-rogers2686]

I think we might see legendary/memorable moment type players, not necessarily legendary players who have returned multiple times.

[@deandavidson8257]

One player I was surprised you both didn't mention was Eliza from Vanuatu and Micronesia.

[@TheFalco9000]

Team Brian Heidik vs. Team Jeff Probst

[@jonsnow-targaryen2071]

Underrated name I would love to see again from the 30’s. Jay Starett. If I get Christian Devens and Jesse that’s all I need to be happy tho

[@wintervoid324]

Legends past season 32? Jelinsky.

[@alexandraalbertz1442]

I can give you several reasons for this choise

[@blakeisbell9870]

I think Carolyn from 44 is the most recent legend

[@KBonilla]

How many votes she got at FTC?

[@WenNRome]

You don't need Boston, Parv, Tony or Sandra for season 50 in order for it to be a great season...we've seen them and can retire them.

[@123fakestreet3]

Very true. Winners don't have an interesting story/motive

[@williamarbuckle3342]

Agreed, but Survivor is going for maximum eyeballs and those are the heavy hitters. It's not what would make the best or most interesting cast, it's about getting the biggest audience.

[@WenNRome]

@@williamarbuckle3342 the ppl who love survivor are going to watch though…viewership is nothing like it was in the past and that’s for every show. You can’t create new legends if you keep using the same four ppl…it’s tired

[@buffgarfield3231]

If we are going "legends" just based on what they mean to the game and not necessarily their ability to play, and we're not bringing anyone back from WaW on to 50, then I think we could form a pretty interesting cast. Ozzy, Coach, Amanda, Cirie, Wentworth, Domenick, Devens, Danielle, Russell, Rob C, Vecepia, Natalie White, Jenna M, Todd, Earl, Dreamz, Yau-Man, Stephenie, Natalie Tenerelli, Nadiya Anderson (But its actually Natalie in disguise)

[@bradskolnik524]

8 Early "Legends" from first 20 id think could be a great fit and well spread out for 50 are Hatch, Rob C, James, and Russell, with Alicia Callaway, Vecepia, Eliza, and Amanda. All 2 time+ players besides Vecepia and brings back two non WAW players, could obv see one of Parv/Sandra/Cirie along with Rob as the 9th and 10th although would rather see a one timer in those spots like Shane Powers or Natalie Bolton

[@stevecarignan6218]

Ciera Eastin is coming back for sure

[@maxhook9862]

Pre 40 Legends Tribe Contenders: Janet Lauren Rick Devens Christian Angelina Natalie Domenick Devon Chrissy Jay Michaela Aubry Cydney Tai Carolyn Jeremy Natalie Wentworth Tony Spencer Tasha Sarah Kass Ciera Hayden Reynold Malcolm Denise Kim Sabrina Sophie Jim Andrea Ashley Brenda Holly Chase Russell JT Stephen Taj Coach Erinn Tyson Sugar Natalie Erik Amanda Courtney James Todd Earl Yau Mann Ozzy Parvati Yul Penner Cirie Rafe Tom Ian Stephanie Ami Chris Rupert Sandra Savage Christa Rob Heidi Shii Anne Ghandia Rob Vecepia Kathy Ethan Lex Big Tom Kelly Tina Colby Richard Sue

My Dream Tribe: 1. Angelina 2. Domenick 3. Cydney 4. Wentworth 5. Jeremy 6. Tony 7. Malcolm 8. Kim 9. Andrea 10. Fishbach

[@freshofbreathair1476]

Agreed on the after season 32 players only. They overplayed all the old ones except Rob C and Shane.

[@ShaneMichealCupp]

Didn’t Boston Rob say he wasn’t gonna play Survivor again unless there is a format change because he said he’s just gonna be voted out pre-merge ? I heard that he said that I could be wrong. I don’t wanna see Rob play 6 times.

[@buffgarfield3231]

Lol - Rob was voted out premerge in 2 of his first 3 seasons. But he's not a big threat. His buddy system is dated and he's not gonna be the most athletic person on the tribe. All he has to do is play a decent social game and he can make the merge. What he needs is an format change of his own strategy. He can't be the Robfather. Instead he just needs to be in a solid alliance. The Robfather stuff makes the jury hate him anyway.

[@haseebashfaq5935]

22 people cast. Equal men and women. Get this cast and 39 (or greater) days and you will have a banger of a season. Boston Rob Tony Rupert Russell Hantz Richard Hatch Dominick Christian Hubicki Rick Devons Charlie (46) Q Jesse Sandra Parvati Cirie Carolyn Dee Maria (46) Maryene (42) Aubrey Chrissy (35) Angelina Shan

[@davidsychtysz126]

I need to see FairPlay again

[@TheGamerGirl2330]

Hot take I wanna see players back who have been forgotten like Nate, Brandon Bellinger, Jason Linden, Noelle, Gina and Wendy Diaz

[@ballplaya4257]

As much as I appreciate what they brought to Survivor, and like them more than most of the New Era, I don’t need to see Boston Rob, Sandra, Parvati again. Winners at War was painful enough seeing all of the old school go out one by one.

[@travherod9943]

Also Tony and Sarah were also on the same 3 seasons as each other

[@patrickcallahan9206]

So were jerry and colby and james and amanda

[@williedee9545]

I messaged coach on Instagram like 2 years ago and asked if he’d play 50 and he said “it would be hard to say no” Here is my realistic dream cast: Boston Rob Malcolm Dom Tony Russell Coach Davie Yam yam Jake Q Cirie Parvati Tina Sandra Andrea Vecepia Jenna Lewis Angelina Carolyn Dee

[@survivorspecialists]

Jenna Lewis! Otherwise, great cast.

[@rudohk]

I'm sure peridiam will spoil the winner of S50 in one of his "finale preview" videos.

[@junputblk27]

Tracy from season 16 micronesia is long overdue for me. in terms of first boot i think Brook from survivor season 9 i hope still looks hot 20 years later. And pre-merge boots Daniel from Survivor Amazon who age like a fine wine. I still want Danni from survivor guatemala as her tribe sucks at winners at war. Kenny from survivor Gabon deserves to be back for old school legends. Jacquie from gabon who got merge screwed needs to be back.

[@blakeisbell9870]

Peridiam!!!!!!

[@MattPenner-l8y]

here's an idea: 3 winners as captains of their respective tribes, with each captain being immune from elimination only ONCE.

[@alyt8804]

One of my all-time favorite characters. Legend in my mind, but don't think she qualifies against everyone else.

Producers Jeff Probst, Matt Van Wagenen and John Kirhoffer each get to pick their own teams of anyone they want be it former players, friends or celebrities. Hosted by Rick Devens. Will be a shit show.

why couldn’t production make season 40 a 24 person cast?? if tin, hatch, and vecepia will all willing to come back, they would’ve been able to get one more male winner. production is so stubborn and robbed us of the winners at war we deserved. i know jeff probst doesn’t like vecepia but for the sake of franchise, jeff probst needs to stop being selfish but after season 20 he took control of casting and can do legit anything he wants to make more compelling casting people and always refuses not to.

People want Dom back but as someone who had to endure an entire season of him on the Challenge plssss no… idc how close someone was to winning I want an entertaining season not another boring returnee season like Game changers

[@decarus-427]

I am sorry, but i just don't want to see all the winners again. I would rather see people like Rob S or Aubry or Jerri. I just don't want to see Rob or Parv or Sandra again yet. I think that most of the old school guys you are all talking about, just no. I don't really care. I want to see Rick Devens and Christain and Domenick.I would definitely pick Kim again as a winner to see. New era's like Shan because she was a disaster or Sabiyah because she got cheated by the bad casting and the quitters. I do think that any older white player that was even the slightest bit boring is just a no for me because of the racist initiative they now have. I am sorry to say it like that, but if they are going to cast based on skin color and not whether or not they are good tv then anyone that i am on the edge with needs to go for me. I don't care if it would be cool to bring some old school player back. Jerri is the only really old school player i would bring back. Everyone else needs to be mid or budget era player.
