“In the spirit of, sometimes letting the game be in the hands of the fans, I feel like — and there a couple of people from CBS right now going ‘Oh, my God, what is happening?’ — I feel like we should just commit and make this the moment where we decide that ‘Survivor 50 ‘will be returning players.”

Survivor 46 is turning out to be the best season of the new era by a long shot. Pre-merge I wasn’t so sure but every episode since the merge has been amazing. It seems to be the consensus online too. It’s turned out to be great casting with good game players, villains, chaotic unpredictable tribals and crazy moments like the Liz breakdown this week. Excited to see how this plays out because it could go many different ways.
50 still seems so far away and was hoping one of the next two seasons would have returnee’s (nobody since 35 has really had a chance to play again, except Winners season). Also given that it would have been so long since we’ve had returnee’s and there has been so much hype about this returnee season that Jeff announced, I would actually love them to celebrate the 50 seasons over both seasons that year (49 and 50) with 2 returnee seasons. Do something like a Fans vs Faves for 49 (where they cast people from across all seasons as faves) and then they could do a Second Chances 2 for 50 (which can mostly be new era 41 onwards casting).

This was definitely the biggest meltdown we’ve seen in a very long time (the only thing I can think of that comes close was Debbie in S34 Game Changers).

I can’t believe that’s 4 people in a row now that have gone home with an Idol! Must be a record?
Also I think last night was the first time ever that they’ve shown every single vote (prior to Jeff reading them out).

Spoiler alert Chris! 
The show has aired here. No need for spoiler tags.
Only just, but ok…
Was joking BTW. Wasn’t expecting a terse response.
A couple of thoughts on the finale. Liz would have to be the most delusional player ever on Survivor. They way she actually thought she was a certainty to win if only she had made the 3! The eye rolling of the jury was priceless, but she was completely clueless. Really don’t know how anybody can be that clueless about their own performance and others’ perception of them. Also apparently she lied about already being a millionaire because she wanted to reduce her “threat level” to others 
Maria not voting for Charlie for the win. That was cold and a next level betrayal. Actually couldn’t stand her by the end, and loved how the two ganged up on her to win the immunity. It was like she felt entitled to it
I didn’t know this before but apparently if it had been a jury tie (ie. Maria had voted for Charlie) then Ben would have been given the deciding vote. He’s stated he would have voted for Charlie.

Apparently Maria has been copping a fair bit of flack over the Charlie betrayal. I’m not really surprised tbh. I thought it was pretty low and showed her real character. I don’t condone online abuse or anything, but surely players signing up for Survivor could expect a bit of scrutiny and criticism at times. The statement from Survivor seems a bit condescending. Just my opinion but I think Jeff and Survivor might need to ease up on preachyness and yes I’m going to use the “w” word - wokeness.

Yeah I really dislike Maria for what she did in the finale. I would have been happy with either a Kenzie or Charlie win, so it’s not about that. Its more how it showed what a bitter, fake and jealous person that she was in the end. Even if Charlie only got 1 vote it should have come from Maria, he was with her right until the end. She really is copping it online big time.
Overall I think 46 was the best season of the new era. Such a memorable cast for so many reasons.
This has happened before. In Ghost Island the finale was a tie, so Laurel (third place) then got to cast the winning vote to Wendell.

Totally agree on Maria. Such a nasty and jealous act that really revealed her true character. I actually never really liked or trusted her, I always felt there was something disingenuous or off with her. Maybe it was her supposed “career”, parent coach . Not surprised she’s getting flack. In the old days she’d be branded a Survivor villain, but I’m not sure that’s allowed these days.
Post merge Maria was always portrayed as a threat but didn’t receive anywhere near the airtime of some of the others. It kind of makes sense once it all played out because she did a lot of things that just made her purely unlikeable.
I feel like this is the season that brought the villain back. Q and Maria were definitely villains. Then you had the likes of Banhu and Liz, not sure if they would be classed as villains or just a bit loopy… they were memorable none the less.
Which is what made this a great season for me. So many memorable characters and two likeable/deserving players at the end too.

“We’re already talking about Season 50 for Survivor. We just wrapped up Season 47 in Fiji. I was texting with Jeff [Probst] last night and he said there’s some pretty epic blindsides coming up. I think this show can go on for a really long time,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach told Deadline.
Reisenbach, who was speaking Tuesday at a Deadline-moderated panel at the Banff World Media Festival, said Season 50 will start shooting next (northern) spring.
