Survivor 50 is coming up fast, with legends of the game returning for the monumental season. But there’s a small twist, as people from Survivor 49 also made the cut.
Recently, host Jeff Probst teased the Survivor 49 cast during an episode, revealing that some of them could impress the producers enough to earn a Survivor 50 invite. It certainly got people buzzing.
Jeff’s tease served a dual purpose. First off, he got to mention Survivor 50 during a Survivor 49 episode, which put it on the viewers’ minds. Secondly, he used it as a tool to spur on big moves from the Survivor 49 cast.
Who goes from Survivor 49 to the Survivor 50 cast?
Below are some Survivor spoilers that haven’t been announced yet. Only continue reading if you really want to learn that information; if not, enjoy some of the other great articles here at Tea on TV.
The two Season 49 cast members who are also on the Season 50 cast are Rizo Velovic and Savannah Louie.
Rizo and Savannah were shown making the merge during a recent episode, and each has already had lots of screentime. As fate would have it, Rizo and Savannah also started the game on the same tribe, making it even more interesting for them to return to Fiji.
Having the duo advance from Season 49 to Season 50 gives each of them at least one ally in the game. Many of the alums returning to be on the Survivor 50 cast already know each other, setting up alliances that formed well before the season began.
How will it all play out? We will have to tune in for the Survivor 50 episodes late this winter and this spring on CBS. Until then, new Survivor 49 episodes air on Wednesday nights on CBS. To catch up on episodes that have already aired, everything is available to stream on Paramount+.
Do you think that Rizo Velovic or Savannah Louie could become the Survivor 50 winner? Are you happy with the choices that the producers made here?
