Below is a video from the live Instagram session. Jeff is seen speaking with Season 49 winner Savanah Louie, Coldy Donaldson from The Australian Outback, Charlie Davis from Season 46, Coach from Tocantins and South Pacific, and many others.
Alums who aren’t on Season 50 were also in attendance. So were people from behind the scenes, giving unique answers to what fans are about to see.
Coach rattled off a fun quote, and Jeff revealed that these quotes are never staged.
Jonathan Young from Season 42 and Quintavius “Q” Burdette from Season 46 wrestled.
The final three from Season 49 were reunited; Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick spoke about trying not to ruin her legacy in her return; Ozzy touched on some unfinished business; and Charlie Davis from Season 46 shared his new strategy.

Additionally, it was fun to see everyone in one place. We’ve all been waiting a long time for the new season to arrive.
