The anticipation forSurvivor 50has been gearing up for months.
This is notWinners at War.
It doesn’t mean we don’t want players who are going to play hard.

Of course, we do.
But isnt that why we watchSurvivor?
Isnt that what weve seen in the entire New Era ofSurvivor?

Jeff Probst has cast many individuals on the show who are there to prove something.
In that season, there were 20 previous winners vying for the chance to be the second two-time winner.
Or third, ifSandra Diaz-Twinewas victorious again.

It was a cutthroat season that resulted in big moves by major players.
Probst stated he doesn’t want that.
But he also fought to win.
A reality show where a group of contestants are stranded in a remote location with little more than the clothes on their back. The lone survivor of this contest takes home a million dollars.
Based on Probst’s criteria, should Yam Yam be expecting a phone call to play again?
He’s putting on a masterclass in gameplay.
We want to see conflict.
We want to see rivalries.
We want to see castaways who have unfinished business do whatever it takes to win for the first time.
It’s what super fans thrive in watching.
They don’t want someone ill-prepared or eager to quit.
We want those players who are hungry.Survivor 50can be a celebration that Jeff Probts wants.
Perhaps Probst is talking about players likeRussell Hantz.
Yes, he has had a score to settle.
We are hyper-critical of the game and the players.
For many of us, we live out our fantasies through these castaways.
So when Probst revealed hisSurvivor 50intentions, the fandom was vocal.
Idols will officially be replaced with stuffed animals.
Challenges will consist of holding hands and singing songs in a circle.
Tribal councils will end with a participation award and a play date!"
If this isn’t revealing to how the fandom is feeling, I don’t know what is.
We’ve been critical of every decisionSurvivormakes.
It’s because we’re passionate about our favorite show.
We are dreaming of the perfect season forSurvivor 50.
The expectations are exponential.
Let us help and guide you on what we really want.
We know you’re listening.
The lone survivor of this contest takes home a million dollars.
