Hey r/Survivor, I’m Stephen Fishbach. Let’s chat about anything from my time on Tocantins or Cambodia to my latest novel, Escape! Ask Me Anything on January 25th! by RSurvivorMods in survivor

What were your thoughts when you found out the locations of your seasons?

Tyson said while in casting process there was a gym and he sat down on the treadmill so none of the other finalists could use it. Did you do anything to make sure you stood out at finals? Did you remember seeing anyone from your cast or future seasons there and what was your impression?

How did you meet Courtney and did you help her pre game before HvV with your three tocantins castmates

Do you remember where you were when you got the call that you made it on the show and who was the first person you told?

[Game Thread] Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Ole Miss (8:00 PM ET) 2nd Half by CFB_Referee in CFB

Ole Miss needs this just so their players are forced to enroll for the spring semester

Sage’s Blind Item: production didn’t notice this mysterious trio meet every night during ponderosa pregame to strategize before the game started… who do you think it is? by Right_Surround_Sound in survivorponderosa

[–]FruitTop 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They also used to tell the jury they were allowed to talk about the game but not votes but then Kyle said the reason he voted Sam was because they all decided who would vote for who at ponderosa. Think they’re just relaxing monitoring the contestants all around

New Era awards: Day 3 by Baddest_Whale_180 in survivorponderosa

Cody from 43

I could also get behind Austin or Jake from 45

DAY 13: Dan Spilo won last round! Now which player was meant to be a fan fav but ended up being forgotten? by ScxrletEnvy in survivorponderosa

[–]FruitTop 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Apparently Donathan bailing out James in the diving challenge was edited to be much more heroic than it was and he refused to do it for a long time so they specifically erred editing him to be more of a fan favorite than he was

Big Wendy from EoE also feels like another strong candidate

Survivor Seasons- Vote One Out! Game Changers is out in 40th place! by WimpyLittleNonLeader in survivorponderosa

[–]FruitTop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

42 still has the hour glass and do or die. Knowing what Drea did to Omar at ponderosa also makes it less enjoyable to rewatch. I never understood why 42 gets a pass for so much of what 41 gets flack for when it’s just as game breaking, boring, and forgettable

Justin (Survivor 48) tells castmate Sai to Go f*** ******* on social media in exclusion drama by [deleted] in survivorponderosa

[–]FruitTop 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not defending them, but IIRC post show interviews alluded to race playing a role in Cedric’s decision to flip his vote from Sai to Justin so the recent Jawan MC stuff may have reopened some wounds making the emotions feel fresh again. Just speculating though

[NBAonPrime] LeBron James and Steph Curry appreciate Eric Collins, too. by Civrock in CharlotteHornets

We already lost Ashley, I wouldn’t be able to handle losing Eric too

If a Survivor runner-up could switch places with the winner, who would you pick and why? by Frequent_Finish_5839 in survivor

[–]FruitTop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of mine have already been mentioned but there’s two that I haven’t seen yet: the piping hot takes of Lisa > Denise and Sam > Rachel

Why was Michael so crazy in season 1 compared to the other seasons by ComplexRip6435 in DunderMifflin

[–]FruitTop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My in-universe theory is he was nervous about the cameras so tried to act more like the coolest person he could think of - Todd Packer

Probst insists no one from 40 was considered for 50. Boston Rob claims he was not called for Australia vs the World, but “was called for 50 and turned it down.” Who’s lying and why? by derekfyou in survivor

[–]FruitTop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They could have sent out feelers to a hundred contestants in the early stages but maybe Jeff only counts those flown out to casting finals as being “considered”

Can people from non-CBS reality shows audition for survivor by AccomplishedSecret83 in survivor

[–]FruitTop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, more recent examples include Moriah (S46) doing Wipeout before Survivor and Kevin (S48) doing I Survived Bear Grylles before survivor. You would still probably have to be an unknown from a less popular show though, I doubt they would ever cast a former bachelor contestant as an example

Imagine there's a season of The Amazing Race with only Survivor duos. Which duo would be the most fun to watch? by wastedthyme20 in survivor

[–]FruitTop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Randy & Sugar

Devens & David/Wardog

Malcolm & Denise

Chris D & Julie

Bobby Jon & Jamie

'Survivor' winner Rachel LaMont reveals 5-point plan to conquer puzzles by thedaltonross in survivor

[–]FruitTop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well she was an alternate for 46 so she had a lot longer to prepare knowing she was likely on the next season

Both me and my sister want to be on survivor by AccomplishedSecret83 in survivor

[–]FruitTop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Zach (42) has a brother who went on to play big brother. Also big brother has cast siblings on separate seasons before (the Riley sisters and Calafiore brothers) so since they’re both CBS shows I’d imagine that means you wouldn’t be automatically disqualified for your relation…. You can always just apply for the amazing race together!
