Jerri Manthey Bids Last Farewell to Survivor After Being Excluded from Season 50 Cast
With over two decades and three trips to Survivor under her belt, Jerri Manthey is bidding a formal farewell to the show — and not of her own accord. On May 28, longtime Survivor host and executive producer unveiled the highly anticipated all-star cast for the show's milestone 50th season, set to air in early 2026. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But fans quickly noticed one glaring omission: Jerri Manthey, now 54, was nowhere to be found on the list. Manthey originally became popular in 2001 on Survivor: The Australian Outback, season two of the show. She quickly became known for her acerbic wit and aggressive play, and soon found herself labeled as the franchise's first true "villain." Her in-your-face personality made her both hated and remembered — a presence that carried over with her return appearance on Survivor: All-Stars, where she was famously booed by the live studio audience during the reunion segment. Now, with Season 50 on the horizon — a season many view as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to celebrate the most legendary players — Manthey has been omitted, and she's not being quiet about it. On a heartfelt and candid cameo video posted to her Instagram, Manthey shared her profound disappointment. "I'm heartbroken too, I suppose," she replied. "The affection and support that everyone has been giving online has just been so beneficial in assisting me in beginning the healing process, but I'm not going to make any bones about it: I'm angry, I'm dismayed, I'm sorrowful, and sometimes I'm wondering myself that very same question too: How am I going to survive this?" Manthey said she's been taking time to think, sitting with her feelings and attempting to work through the blow. She did admit that she felt a deep sense of "utter disrespect" over being left out of the milestone season, particularly after giving nearly 25 years of her life to the Survivor fraternity. "That's nearly half my life," she said. "Been a part of, supported, involved in, tried to be involved in the Survivor fan base." Reality TV star also admitted the personal trade-offs she's made along the way, suggesting the emotional and career cost of being bound to a franchise that has now, in her description, made her feel "underappreciated. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Even if her absence from the all-star season signals the end of her Survivor ride, Manthey's legacy — as a spirited competitor, a reality TV pioneer, and one of the most infamous figures in the show's long-running history — is securely embedded in the hearts of fans. And while Survivor 50 is continuing without her, it's evident that for countless fans, it just won't be the same.

Survivor alum Jerri Manthey is sharing her reaction to learning she would not be participating in the franchise's milestone 50th season In a video shared to Instagram, Manthey admitted she felt "disrespected" and "disappointed" that she wasn't cast despite being a recognizable figure in the franchise The television personality revealed that she was done with the franchise and would no longer be watching or participating in future seasons of SurvivorJerri Manthey is saying goodbye to Survivor for good. On May 28, Survivor host and showrunner Jeff Probst unveiled the all-star cast that will be competing in the show's milestone 50th season and Manthey's, 54, name was noticeably absent. Manthey became a household name when she debuted in Survivor season 2 in 2001. Set in the Australian outback, she became the franchise's first true villain and became a standout contestant for her antics. She eventually returned for Survivor: All-Stars, where she was met with boos by the audience during the season's live reunion episode. In a cameo video shared to her Instagram, Manthey shared an in-depth reaction to not being cast in the upcoming season, which will soon start filming and air in early 2026. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jerri Manthey (@jerrimanthey) 'I'm devastated as well, as you can imagine,' she admitted. 'The outpouring of support and encouragement from everybody online has just been so helpful in helping me start the process of healing, but I'm not going to lie: I am pissed, I'm disappointed, I'm sad, and I sometimes am asking that very same question too: How am I going to get through this?' Manthey said she's been "sitting with my own thoughts and processing what happened," and admitted she felt "utter disrespect" for being left out of the moneumental season despite spending the "past 25 years of my life, which is almost half of my life, involved in, supporting, being a part of making an effort to be a part of the Survivor community." The television personality added that she's faced hardships since starring in season two, but through all that she's "sacrificed" and "given up in my life" for the show, she felt "underappreciated" for her efforts. PEOPLE has reached out to CBS for comment. She wondered if her age had anything to do with her casting. 'Being a woman in your 50s is already sometimes difficult enough, because I've always heard the saying that when you get into your 50s, you become irrelevant, nobody notices you anymore, and I can feel that," she said. "And this is actually proof that it is happening.' Since learning of her snub, Manthey admitted that her time on Survivor was officially over. 'My Survivor chapters are closed," she revealed. "It was very clear that what Jeff Probst and [executive producer Matt Van Wagenen] thought was that I should be grateful because I am the only person to experience a three-season character arc. Oh! I should just be so grateful for that. But you know what? You know what's even better than that? Watching someone come full circle." "And that is what I was robbed of," she continued. "That is what was stolen from me. I don't know what else to say other than I just need to figure out a way to get through this.… Personally, I am done watching it. I am not going to watch any of it anymore. I refuse to support a franchise that doesn't support and get behind its pivotal people.'

Manthey also clarified that she believed there were other casting mistakes and highlighted a few of Survivor's iconic female contestants that were not included in the upcoming season. 'There are so many amazing women. Not just myself. But other people," she said. "Maria! Maria is an amazing strong woman who was robbed of her win and deserved another chance. Abi-Maria! Can you imagine if Abi-Maria and I were on the same season? That would be epic. Karla! Karla is another one. If you want to go new era, get the women who kicked f---ing ass!" "Come on! This is so upsetting! Not just because I am not on it, but because who is and who isn't," she added. Read the original article on People

'Survivor' legend Jerri Manthey posts devastated reaction to being cut from season 50
Jerri Manthey is an icon of the early era of Survivor, but that icon will not be appearing on the highly anticipated Survivor 50, which begins filming soon and will air in early 2026. Host and showrunner Jeff Probst revealed the Survivor 50 cast on Wednesday's episode of CBS Mornings, and Manthey's name was one of the most notable omissions. While Manthey had previously indicated she would not be part of the final cast by posting a silent video on social media of herself nodding no shortly before the official announcement, she has now posted a lengthy reaction on her Instagram account to being cut from the cast in the form of a Cameo to a fan named Nancy. 'I'm devastated as well, as you can imagine,' Manthey says in the video. 'The outpouring of support and encouragement from everybody online has just been so helpful in helping me start the process of healing, but I'm not going to lie: I am pissed, I'm disappointed, I'm sad, and I sometimes am asking that very same question too: How am I going to get through this?' The video, which Manthey says was recorded in the desert near Joshua Tree, goes on with the three-time player processing her grief over being a last-minute cut. 'I've also been sitting still with my own thoughts and processing what happened, and the utter disrespect for the fact that I have spent the past 25 years of my life, which is almost half of my life, involved in, supporting, being a part of making an effort to be a part of the Survivor community," she said. The original Survivor black widow, Manthey popped off the screen on Survivor's most-watched season ever, The Australian Outback (season 2). She was the first true franchise 'villain,' although her antics (like accusing another player of smuggling in beef jerky) were positively tame compared to what would follow in future installments. Manthey then returned for Survivor: All-Stars, where she walked out of the live reunion episode after being booed by an unruly Madison Square Garden audience. But the player experienced an almost complete turnaround in her third appearance on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, as she went from the contestant audiences loved to hate to one they simply loved, as viewers were drawn to her quirky flirtmance with tribemate Benjamin 'Coach' Wade and she made it all the way to fourth place. Manthey referenced some of those early struggles on her video. 'I know what I've been through, and people that are old enough to watch season 2 when it was happening in real time — those people understand what I've sacrificed and what I've given up in my life for that show. Forgive me, it's really hard to feel underappreciated on that level.' The 54-year-old Survivor all-star also wondered out loud if age played a factor in her not being cast for a fourth appearance. 'Being a woman in your 50s is already sometimes difficult enough, because I've always heard the saying that when you get into your 50s, you become irrelevant, nobody notices you anymore, and I can feel that. And this is actually proof that it is happening.' Manthey continues and notes that her Survivor journey — of both playing and watching — is over. 'My Survivor chapters are closed," she said. "It was very clear that what Jeff Probst and [executive producer Matt Van Wagenen] thought was that I should be grateful because I am the only person to experience a three-season character arc. Oh! I should just be so grateful for that. But you know what? You know what's even better than that? Watching someone come full circle." "And that is what I was robbed of," she continued. "That is what was stolen from me. I don't know what else to say other than I just need to figure out a way to get through this.… Personally, I am done watching it. I am not going to watch any of it anymore. I refuse to support a franchise that doesn't support and get behind its pivotal people.' And it was not just her own omission that Manthey saw as glaring — she also called into question some of the other women who were not on the final list. 'There are so many amazing women," she said. "Not just myself. But other people. Maria! Maria is an amazing strong woman who was robbed of her win and deserved another chance. Abi-Maria! Can you imagine if Abi-Maria and I were on the same season? That would be epic. Karla! Karla is another one. If you want to go new era, get the women who kicked f---ing ass! Come on! This is so upsetting! Not just because I am not on it, but because who is and who isn't.' Probst was asked on CBS Mornings about how they went down from 750 players to just 24. 'We went from 200 on a list to 100, to 80, to 50,' he told host Gayle King. 'And then those last 26, they were brutal cuts. And they still are. There are so many people we could have put out there but there are only so many people you can put on the show.' Manthey was apparently one of those final cuts. And while Jerri's Survivor journey may be over, her own is far from it. 'Damn straight, I am not laying down,' she says near the end of her video. 'And if anyone is going to end my story, it is going to be me, not Jeff and [Matt Van Wagenen] and the people at CBS. They do not get the right to end my story.'

Copper up on temporary US-China trade truce
Copper prices rose on Tuesday after the United States said it would cut some tariffs on imports from China, where inventories have dropped significantly, though gains were capped by market caution. Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange was up 0.3% at $9,544 a metric ton as of 0940 GMT. The United States said on Monday it will cut the 'de minimis' tariff on low-value items imported from China, further de-escalating a trade war between the world's two largest economies. The order comes in the wake of Beijing and Washington announcing a temporary truce in their trade spat after weekend talks, with both sides agreeing to unwind most of the tariffs imposed on each other's goods since early April. 'Despite the optimism, there are reasons to remain cautious; the U.S.-China talks are only just beginning,' said ING commodities analyst Ewa Manthey. Manthey added that the tariffs remain significant and could impact raw material consumption, while a continued dollar rally might also pose a hurdle to metals prices. Copper steady ahead of US-China trade talks, focus on tighter nearby supply The dollar held most of its gains, lingering near one-month highs. A stronger U.S. currency makes metals costlier for other currency holders. Citi said in a note that copper prices 'can remain resilient' between $9,000-$10,000 in the coming weeks amid a tightening of China's physical copper indicators until tariff-related demand shocks materialise. Copper stocks in warehouses monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) stood at 80,705 tons last week, having dropped 70% since the end of February. Meanwhile, stocks in COMEX-owned warehouses rose to their highest levels since 2018. A pending probe in Washington that could lead to new copper tariffs is attracting metal into the United States. Among other metals, aluminium eased 0.2% to $2,474 a ton, zinc fell 0.5% to $2,667, lead gained 0.8% to $1,992.5, nickel fell 0.1% to $15,620 and tin slipped 0.1% at $32,550. Market focus is on U.S. inflation data later on Tuesday for clues to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance.
