Ranking The Cast Of Survivor 50 By How Much I'm Looking Forward To Seeing Them Play Again
Call it recency bias, but I just don't know that we need THREE Survivor 48 players on the beach for a Legends season.
Jonathan Young (Survivor 42)
I would've picked at least 10 other players from Survivor 41 through 44 in place of Jonathan. Apparently he came in fourth? I remember zero percent of that. All I ask is that they put him on Cirie's tribe so that she can survive a few tribal councils (Muscle Strength).
Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick (Palau, Guatemala, Heroes vs. Villains)
I am excited to see the Queen of Palau back simply because she hasn't been on Survivor in over 15 years. I am not excited to have her back because I think she is boring TV and her Survivor journey hit its high in her debut season.
Aubry Bracco (Kaoh Rong, Game Changers, Edge of Extinction)
Listen, Aubry was phenomenal TV in Kaoh Rong and Game Changers, but she seemed burnt out by Edge of Extinction. Do we really need to see her play for a fourth time? I don't know!
Ozzy Lusth (Cook Islands, Micronesia, South Pacific, Game Changers)
Same as Aubry -- Ozzy was great for what he was, but with every subsequent appearance, I find myself more bored by his gameplay. Fifth time's the charm?
Dee Valladares (Survivor 45)
Dee was a great winner, but I think it's too soon to see her play again. Plus, I have a feeling she is going to be a target on day one if any of the others castaways know what's good for them.
Tiffany Ervin (Survivor 46)
Tiff is hilarious, and I am genuinely so thrilled we get to see her and Q on our screens again. That being said, I'm not sure we needed three returnees from Survivor 46 when 41, 43, and 44 got no representation.
Angelina Keeley (David vs. Goliath)
Please for the love of all things good bring your own jacket this time, Queen.
Genevieve Mushaluk (Survivor 47)
When I first saw her picture I thought we were getting THE Amanda Kimmel back and was way too excited. Genevieve brings similar energy though so I'll allow it.
Charlie Davis (Survivor 46)
As someone who loved both Charlie and Kenzie as finalists on Survivor 46, I'm so excited for him to get his second chance. Just bummed he was already on the island when Tay announced she bought her Master's :(
Chrissy Hofbeck (Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers)
Chrissy should've been on Winners at War. Yes, I know she didn't win her season. It's just been a long time coming.
Cirie Fields (Panama, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains, Game Changers)
I love Cirie. I will never not love Cirie. But 5 times???? FIVE? Because it's Cirie, I'll allow it, but I don't know how she survives longer than a few days.
Colby Donaldson (The Australian Outback, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains)
I'm ranking Colby so low simply because it feels unjust that he will be on a season without Jerri Manthey. It hurts my heart. Their Survivor stories should always align. Regardless, I'm thrilled we get to see Donaldson again, and that he has a chance to redeem himself for whatever the heck was happening last time he played ("Dammit, Reid!").
Rick Devens (Edge of Extinction)
Devens was the best part of Edge of Extinction. I am genuinely so excited and terrified to see what he does this time around.
Emily Flippen (Survivor 45)
Self aware queen. I cannot wait to see her interact with the likes of Coach and Q.
Christian Hubicki (David vs. Goliath)
Devastated he's playing without Gabby ("Like, in the sand?") but psyched that he's going to be back on my television screen.
Mike White (David vs. Goliath)
I think pre-The White Lotus I wouldn't have been as stoked for his return, but he was honestly incredible TV. And imagine the kinds of cameos we're going to get on future TWL seasons now. Q? Coach? Colby? He could single-handedly restart Colby Donaldson's acting career!
Quintavius "Q" Burdette (Survivor 46)
This man gave me anxiety every single week he was on Survivor 46 and I loved him for it. He is pure chaos. He is going to get eaten alive by some of these legends. I am seated.
Jenna Lewis (Borneo, All-Stars)
Jenna hasn't played the game in 21 (TWENTY-ONE) years, but if you rewatch her appearance on All-Stars, you'll remember how savvy and sneaky she was. She was literally the only one who knew what Rob and Amber were capable of. I think these New Era players should be terrified of her, and I am just crossing my fingers she makes it far.
Benjamin "Coach" Wade (Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains, South Pacific)
Need I say more? Last time he was out on the island, he led a cult. The time before, he formed the greatest band ever made. Before that, he was the biggest martyr Survivor had ever seen. Any season with Coach is bound to be entertaining, and I'd pay good money to see him interact with every single person on this list.

Bride's Coworker Files HR Complaint Over Not Being Invited to Wedding
The woman said in a Reddit post that her coworker has been giving her "side-eyes" and "little digs"NEED TO KNOW A soon-to-be bride revealed on Reddit that her coworker filed an HR complaint after not being invited to her wedding "This was honestly one of the weirdest work things I've ever dealt with," the woman wrote She said the colleague now "acts super passive-aggressive toward me"A soon-to-be bride is facing some heat in the office over her guest list. In a post on Reddit, a woman revealed that her coworker wasn't too pleased about not being invited to her wedding. 'This was honestly one of the weirdest work things I've ever dealt with,' the user wrote on the site before explaining that she's not close to this colleague. 'We've had small talk here and there, nothing deep. No lunches together. No real outside-of-work connection,' the bride wrote. According to the woman, her colleague bluntly asked 'if she was invited" after finding out about the upcoming nuptials. 'I kinda laughed and said, 'Oh no, it's really small. Just close friends and family.' I didn't think anything of it,' the fiancée recalled. 'She got quiet and a little cold after that, but I figured okay, maybe awkward moment, whatever.' The soon-to-be wife then went on to say that she got an invite to a human resources meeting a few days later. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'Turns out she filed a complaint saying I was being 'exclusive' and 'creating a hostile environment by leaving people out,' ' she said. 'Because I didn't invite her. To my wedding. That I'm paying for. That isn't even work-related.' 'So I had to sit in this HR meeting and explain that I'm not required to invite coworkers I barely know to my literal wedding. That it's a personal event,' she continued. 'That it has nothing to do with work or who's in the office.' Meanwhile, the Reddit user wasn't the only perplexed person in the room as 'HR honestly looked just as confused as I was.' 'They basically said, 'Yep, okay, thanks,' and closed the case,' she added. However, unlike HR, it doesn't look like the coworker is ready to let things go just yet. 'But now she acts super passive-aggressive toward me,' she wrote on Reddit. 'Like side-eyes, little digs when I walk by. Still bringing it up in these weird sarcastic comments like, 'Some people are so inclusive these days.' ' The woman added, 'I can't believe she actually thought HR could… what, make me invite her? Some people really do think they're the main character.' ! Many readers on Reddit took the bride's side. 'I would report her to HR for creating an uncomfortable environment now,' one person wrote. A second said, 'Definitely seems like the coworker is heading towards hostile work environment territory, if not already there.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Canada pushing to include Indigenous rights in United Nations plastics treaty
OTTAWA — Canada is pushing to bring language recognizing the rights of Indigenous peoples back into a United Nations plastics pollution treaty. Delegates from more than 170 countries are in Geneva to resume negotiations on a treaty that was supposed to be finalized last year. Countries are at odds on how far the legally binding agreement should go, with many nations opposing caps on plastic production. Following negotiations in South Korea in November, which ended without an agreement, the draft version of the treaty removed references to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Canada, with the backing of 45 other countries, presented a proposal Tuesday to put UNDRIP language back in to the treaty. Scientists estimate the world disposes of more than 350 million tonnes of plastic every year, with less than one-tenth being recycled and more than one-fifth ending up in the environment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2025.

Juan Soto spoils Gavin Williams' no-hit bid with 9th-inning home run, but Guardians hold on to top Mets
MLB is still seeking its first no-hitter of the 2025 season. Cleveland Guardians starter Gavin Williams threw 8 1/3 no-hit innings against the New York Mets on Wednesday and had the green light to go all the way despite having the highest pitch count of the MLB season. But Juan Soto spoiled the party. The Mets slugger hit a deep fly ball to center field on a 1-0 fastball that Williams left over the plate. Centerfielder Angel Martinez gave chase and made a play on the ball at the wall. But the ball snuck over his glove and just over the wall for a home run before bouncing back into the field of play. The home run was Soto's 26th of the season and stood as New York's only run of the day as Cleveland held on for a 4-1 victory. MLB is still seeking its first solo no-hitter since Blake Snell no-hit the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 2, 2024 while pitching for the San Francisco Giants. Three Chicago Cubs pitchers combined to no-hit the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sept. 4 of last season. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Williams finished the eighth inning having already thrown a career-high 111 pitches. But Guardians manager Stephen Vogt didn't hesitate to send him back out for the ninth to face the top of the Mets order. Vogt struck out Francisco Lindor to lead off the inning before Soto's home run ended the bid. Vogt didn't get the last out, but he finished the game with the win, having thrown 8 2/3 innings with six strikeouts, four walks issued and the single hit allowed to Soto. He threw 126 pitches. The effort lowered Williams' ERA to 3.17 for the season, which would stand as the best of his three-season MLB career. The Guardians are still seeking their first no-hitter since Len Barker threw a perfect game against the Toronto Blue Jays in 1981.
