Who is in the cast of Survivor 50? Memphis castaway set to compete in Fiji once again
Season 50 of the hit reality show "Survivor" is set to air in 2026, but unlike seasons past, we already know some of the castaways, including one from Memphis. Quintavius "Q" Burdette who competed to be the "lone survivor" on Season 46 of the show, is headed back to Fiji to compete with other previous castaways against each other in group and individual challenges for the title of "sole survivor" and the $1 million cash prize that comes with it. For 25 years, "Survivor" has entertained millions as groups of sometimes 20 competed to be the lone survivor. And to celebrate the 50th season, some of the original cast members are making their way back to the beaches of Fiji for "Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans". But for "Survivor" 50 there will be a bit of a twist, with the fans holding the power to decide some of the key elements of gameplay prior to filming, including whether to have hidden immunity idols available for players and if there will be a final four fire-making challenge. Here's everything to know about "Survivor" 50 and Tennessee's connection to the show. "Survivor," hosted by Jeff Probst, has been on the air since 2000. The list for Survivor 50 is fairly long and there are still two members expected to be tapped from season 49 after it airs in the fall of 2025, according to reports from multiple media and entertainment outlets.

13 biggest snubs from the Survivor 50 returning cast reveal
13 biggest snubs from the Survivor 50 returning cast reveal We finally have the cast for the 50th season of CBS' reality TV phenomenon Survivor! (Yes, we really are all that old). While the lineup of all-star castaways for the highly-anticipated season include many favorites like Colby Donaldson, Joe Hunter and Ozzy Lusth, there were obviously a number beloved former contestants who didn't make the cut. Survivor host and producer Jeff Probst explained a bit about what went into casting this season during the Wednesday morning reveal. 'Here's what we realized early on,' Probst told CBS Mornings. 'Casting Survivor 50 was kind of like casting the ultimate all-time movie. And you think about all the actors who are alive today that you could put in that movie, but there is only so many roles, and we wanted 50 to be a little taste of everything. 'Cause, Gayle, we've done Heroes vs. Villains, and Game Changers, and Fans vs. Favorites, and winners. We wanted to taste every flavor, every type personality, all the eras.' GET BUFF: Photos of the 24 Survivor 50 castaways officially returning to Fiji That certainly makes sense, but fans can still feel disappointed some of their favorites won't be returning to Fiji. These players top the list of snubs. Jesse Lopez (Season 43) Jeremy Collins (Seasons 29, 31, 40) Carolyn Wiger (Season 44) Spencer Bledsoe (Seasons 28, 31) Gabby Pascuzzi (Season 37) Kaleb Gebrewold (Season 45) Yam Yam Arocho (Season 44) Jonathan Penner (Seasons 13, 16, 25) Ricard Foyé (Season 41) Carson Garrett (Season 44) Yul Kwon (Season 13, 40) Evvie Jagoda (Season 41) Kellee Kim (Season 39)
