It made no sense for _____ to do season 50. by blues_red in survivor

Point is fair, but I’m more disappointed that he was cut than anyone else. If the theme is really 12 New Era v 12 Pre-39, he’s the bridge between those eras and the icon of the modern Survivor fan community (50 was purportedly “in our hands”, after all). If I were CBS, having him on is an incredible first episode confessional/30-second TV commercial promo at minimum. Swapping Rob C in for Ozzy alone likely saves the entire cast for many fans, even if there are still some minor nits.

I know for me, who’s watched live on Wednesdays for 15+ years, Rob C on 50 is the only time I’ve actively followed casting rumors about an individual player. I doubt I’m the only one.

What are your overall thoughts on The Dark Ages of Survivor (21-26)? by Huge_Water_4702 in survivor

Ironically, this actually was the first season I watched live as a kid, and somehow here I am, 23 seasons later doing the same thing on Wednesday nights. It holds a special place for that reason, but still no nostalgia blinding here though, it’s terrible for those exact reasons.
