Everything to Know About the 24 Players Cast in Survivor 50
This morning, CBS announced the full cast for the hotly anticipated 50 th season of Survivor, set to air in early 2026. It's a first for the show, which normally waits much longer to unveil the players; not even the Season 49 cast is public yet, technically. But that's the nature of a modern all-returnees season, where early leaks are likely to reveal who's in contention even before the cast flies out to Fiji. And while viewers are certainly frustrated with some unappealing inclusions and notable omissions—why are there so many New Era players without any contestants from the 20s?—there are definitely enough stars here to produce something reliably enjoyable and celebrate the best competition reality series ever. Here are the 24 cast members of Season 50 and what to know, or remember, about each of them as the long wait until next year marches on. Jenna Lewis Dougherty Seasons: Borneo (1), All-Stars (8) Placed: 8 th, 3 rd It wouldn't be right to celebrate 50 seasons of Survivor without bringing back someone from the very beginning, and Borneo 's youngest contestant is an unexpected but inspired choice. At the time a 22-year-old college student and single mom of two, Lewis Dougherty (then just Lewis) was an endearing motormouth, but her most memorable and emotional moment came when she lost out on a video message from her daughters for the first ever Loved Ones Challenge. Seeing her play again now, at 47 years old, will help bring the series full circle. Colby Donaldson Seasons: The Australian Outback (2), All-Stars (8), Heroes vs. Villains (20) Placed: 2 nd, 12 th, 5 th The show's first challenge beast and arguably its first 'hero' almost eked out the win in his first go at the game, besting his on-and-off rival Jerri Manthey but losing to Tina Wesson. Subsequent appearances offered diminishing returns, especially during Heroes vs. Villains, where he went far but lacked the agency and much of the physical skill he once had. It remains to be seen whether he can adapt to today's very different game—even in his third season, he couldn't quite keep up with the strategic element—but it could be nice to see an old star, even if it's difficult to avoid the feeling that Donaldson doesn't belong on a season without Manthey. Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick Seasons: Palau (10), Guatemala (11), Heroes vs. Villains (20) Placed: 7 th, 2 nd, 19 th LaGrossa Kendrick has stayed in the reality-TV space since her late-aughts Survivor outings, competing in The Traitors and Snake in the Grass. But not everyone remembers just how beloved she was in 2005 for her underdog arc on Palau —where she became the last surviving member of the infamously decimated Ulong tribe—perhaps because of her villainous turn on Guatemala and a near-immediate exit on Heroes vs. Villains. Could she recapture some of her old magic and showcase the resilience that once made her a legend? Cirie Fields Seasons: Panama (12), Micronesia (16), Heroes vs. Villains (20), Game Changers (34) Placed: 4 th, 3 rd, 17 th, 6 th Often considered the best Survivor player to never win, Fields is coming into the game with a massive target on her back, perhaps more than any other returnee—especially thanks to her more recent win on The Traitors and an already-filmed appearance on the upcoming Australia V The World season of Australian Survivor. Her lethal social game almost got her to the end on her first two seasons, but doomed her early in the third—and in Game Changers, she became the victim of 'Advantage-geddon,' a shark-jumping moment when she went home despite nobody voting for her. That suggests a natural rationale for an opportunity at redemption, and in some ways she'd be the ideal winner —though it's hard to picture people letting her anywhere near a Final Tribal Council. By now, Fields might be bigger than Survivor. Ozzy Lusth Seasons: Cook Islands (13), Micronesia (16), South Pacific (23), Game Changers (34) Placed: 2 nd, 9 th, 4 th, 12 th Where does Ozzy Lusth go from here? An undeniable icon of the game and early challenge beast, he just barely lost to the savvy Yul Kwon on his original season before getting memorably blindsided by his ally/showmance partner Amanda Kimmel at the midpoint of Micronesia. And another bold performance in South Pacific —where he requested to get voted out just to beat Redemption Island and reenter the game—certainly didn't help downplay his well-established threat level. Lusth has relied primarily on his physical strength for all four of his stints on the show, but it's difficult to know if he's capable of truly evolving his social maneuvering. Benjamin 'Coach' Wade Seasons: Tocantins (18), Heroes vs. Villains (20), South Pacific (23) Placed: 5 th, 12 th, 2 nd The self-described 'Dragon Slayer' is easily one of the strangest and most unique characters to appear on Survivor, maybe on reality TV overall: a quirky and spiritual guy with a penchant for telling tall tales (or are they true stories about a fascinating life?). On South Pacific, his bizarre but effective cult-leader persona earned him a place at the end, though his inability to own his manipulations lost him the game. Fourteen years later, is Coach back with any more self-awareness, and how will he cope without immediate access to power? Either way, it should be a whole lot of fun to watch. Aubry Bracco Placed: 2 nd, 5 th, 16 th Many still believe Bracco deserved the win in Kaôh Rōng, though her significant personal journey from anxious introvert to strategic powerhouse didn't translate to a strong social game or convincing argument at Final Tribal Council. Bracco's later performances on Game Changers and Edge of Extinction were under-edited and underwhelming, respectively, so Season 50 may be her last real chance to set the record straight on her capabilities. Chrissy Hofbeck Season: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers (35) Placed: 2 nd Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers was arguably one of the dullest seasons in the show's run, remembered mainly for the official introduction of the Final 4 fire-making challenge and Ben Driebergen's resulting win. At least Hofbeck played her heart out, tying a female record by winning four Immunity Challenges in a season and making it to the end—though the jury didn't respect her social game. Few of the players in these mid-thirties seasons ever got a second chance to play, so this shot is long overdue. Mike White Placed: 2 nd Easily the name on this list with the most recognition outside of Survivor circles, actor-writer Mike White was already famous from School of Rock during his subtle but delightful appearance on the fan-favorite season David vs. Goliath in 2018. But he's almost a household name these days, known most recently as the auteur behind The White Lotus. (He even gives cameos to several of his old Survivor castmates each season.) Beyond his smart eye for strategy and strong social game, it should be thrilling to see a celebrity of his caliber on the show again. Angelina Keeley Season: David vs. Goliath (37) Placed: 3 rd 'Natalie, can I have your jacket?' Anyone who has watched David vs. Goliath remembers this question, spoken by the eventual second runner-up and directed toward the woman she just voted out. Keeley is an all-time Survivor character guaranteed to bounce interestingly off practically any cast member, lovably un-self-aware to the viewers and irritatingly so to her fellow contestants. This casting is another no-brainer, no matter the likelihood of Keeley improving on her zero-vote-finalist record. Christian Hubicki Season: David vs. Goliath (37) Placed: 7 th The New Era of Survivor may be replete with nerds and superfans, but few can compete with the star power of this widely loved robotics scientist, a long-desired returnee. At the merge on his first season, Hubicki was already becoming a significant strategic and social force, pulling off several big moves and making strong connections with castaways like Nick Wilson and especially Gabby Pascuzzi. He could stand a good chance of going even further on Season 50, now that he's surrounded by other big threats. Rick Devens Season: Edge of Extinction (38) Placed: 4 th Devens got taken out only four votes into Edge of Extinction, but thanks to the season's central twist, he eventually got to return to the game and become the biggest threat (or, to some, the biggest nuisance), setting the record for most Hidden Immunity Idol possessions in a season. With his continued involvement in the Survivor community—he became the first co-host of the podcast On Fire with Jeff Probst —Devens has long been expected to return for a second shot, though he's certainly not one of the most essential picks here. Jonathan Young Season: 42 Placed: 4 th Young was a Hulk on a season dominated by shrimps, standing out from sheer size and physical dominance alone. His somewhat condescending attitude and strong-male-solidarity angle eventually grated on some of his tribemates, though, and he lost at Final 4 fire-making. As one of the first true challenge beasts of the New Era, Young isn't quite an out-of-left-field choice, but he's also far from a modern icon. Emily Flippen Placed: 7 th Flippen started off on the wrong foot with the perpetually losing Lulu tribe on 45, where she wasn't a great social fit at first. But her ally Kaleb Gebrewold helped her adjust her game and show her humanity (and humility) a bit more, enabling her to make it pretty far. It'll be interesting to see if she takes a similar under-the-radar approach in 50 or if she re-emerges from her shell to make some bold plays—the latter would be more fun. Dee Valladares Season: 45 Placed: 1 st Bringing back two winners may be an odd choice, especially given they're both from the New Era, but Valladares could have more to offer. She played a dominant physical, social, and strategic game in 45, leading the Reba Four alliance and dictating many or most of the post-merge votes, but she rarely had to fight back or pull off many tricky maneuvers. She might have to play a bit more craftily in 50, where she's around more people willing to go hard. Quintavius 'Q' Burdette Season: 46 Placed: 6 th On his season, Q was an unmistakable highlight of the New Era, a force of pure chaos and male ego with control issues and a confusing style of playing the game. (He asked his tribemates to vote him out two separate times.) But those flaws—and the bizarre charm that sometimes broke through—made him great TV. Should we expect him to pull off a win in Season 50? Highly doubtful. But will he add to the entertainment factor? Definitely. Charlie Davis Placed: 2 nd If Q was the hurricane blowing through Survivor 46, Davis was a source of calm geniality at the center, constantly quoting Taylor Swift songs while obscuring his careful, clever gameplay. Many viewers believe he deserved the win at Final Tribal Council, but thanks to some juicy vengeance from the longtime ally he betrayed, Maria Shrime Gonzalez, he narrowly lost. Now he's a natural choice to bring back; in fact, his threat level might appear lower among these bigger personalities than it would alongside all New Era players. Tiffany Nicole Ervin Season: 46 Placed: 8 th Though Ervin made it to merge with a Hidden Immunity Idol and solid allies, she's a bit random to bring back for a big anniversary season. Still, it should be amusing to watch her interact again with Q, the bane of her existence all through her pre- and post-merge. Genevieve Mushaluk Placed: 5 th Mushaluk arguably played the biggest and most exciting game of Season 47, orchestrating the blindsides of tribemates like Kishan Patel and Sol Yi. But what also made her compelling was her stated disinterest in getting close to people, a decision she later regretted when her ally Teeny Chirichillo lost trust. Will Mushaluk spend more time on her social game this time around? And will she put her talent for big moves to use again, or shrink into the shadows? Kyle Fraser Season: 48 Placed: 1 st This one is weird. We watched Fraser win $1 million just a week ago, so it's hard to get too excited about seeing him again already. But at least he was a deserving winner, delicately balancing his 'secret' alliance with Kamilla Karthigesu and his loyalty to Joe Hunter and Eva Erickson all the way to the end. With both Karthigesu and Hunter also returning for Season 50, it remains to be seen whether Fraser will try to distance himself and play a new game or stick with his proven allies. Joe Hunter Season: 48 Placed: 3 rd Another tough sell. The most recent second runner-up definitely has his fans in the Survivor community, and his incredibly tight bond with Erickson (whom he helped through multiple autistic episodes) was occasionally quite moving. But many viewers found his loyalty-first approach and overly heroic edit eyeroll-worthy, especially when the rest of the cast refused to turn on him and let him walk to Final Tribal Council. He also has a good chance of making it to the halfway point this time around—he's a physical asset to any pre-merge tribe—but whether we want to see that happen is another story. Kamilla Karthigesu Season: 48 Placed: 4 th Of anyone on Season 48, Karthigesu is easily the most deserving of another shot. Her tight personal and strategic bond with Fraser was the heart of the season, and she gave plenty of funny and engaging confessionals, but the tribe dynamic—with Hunter and Erickson ruling at the top and the majority afraid to make a move—didn't allow her to reach full star potential. It could be fascinating to see her play a more independent game with more room to maneuver, although casting Fraser and Hunter again may interfere with that. Mystery Players The likely identities of these two contestants from the upcoming fall season are already known based on rampant speculation and leaks, but nothing has been officially shared by CBS yet. Even if the players' names are confirmed soon, we'll know next to nothing about their personalities or how they played the game until the fall, though they must leave a strong impression based on their inclusion on this season. Season 49 and 50 are filming back to back, so these two will be particularly undernourished out there.

Rio Ferdinand potential career moves after leaving TNT Sports as Man Utd legend looks to ‘next chapter'
RIO FERDINAND is officially a free agent having left his role at TNT Sports. The former Manchester United and England defender was part of the broadcaster's commentary and punditry team for a DECADE. 6 6 But the 46-year-old has decided to move on to pastures new by not renewing his contract. An emotional social media post read: "After 10 incredible years, I have made the difficult decision to step away from TNT Sports after the Champions League final. 'Since retiring from football, it has been a privilege talking about the game I love for a decade for sports fans watching on BT Sports and TNT Sports. 'I want to acknowledge the tremendous support from the team behind the scenes, whose hard work often goes unseen, but has been essential to our success. 'To everyone at TNT Sports, we have a brilliant end to the season to look forward to on Saturday, and for now all focus will be on what I think could go down as one of the great European finals. 'The network continues to thrive with more rights than ever, and I look forward to following its progress and the exciting future that lies ahead. 'Lastly, I would like to thank my family and my management company New Era for their ongoing support. 'They have supported me to travel all over Europe, following the best players and watching the best matches. For a football fan like me, it's been a dream come true. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 6 'As I turn the page to the next chapter. I carry with me countless memories." Ferdinand will have plenty of time on his hands now that he's no longer bound to TNT Sport's hectic schedule. Rio Ferdinand calls out Roy Keane and Gary Neville's takes on Man Utd vs Man City The pundit plans to spend his free time with his family, as well as focusing on his podcast and other "interests". So what will Rio be up to now..? Full-time podcasting Despite being incredibly busy with TNT for the last decade, Ferdinand has managed to cultivate a massive podcast. His ' Rio Ferdinand Presents' podcast, which was previously called 'Vibe with Five', has over 1.3 MILLION subscribers on YouTube and thousands of listeners on Apple and Spotify. The podcasting world is an extremely lucrative one, so Ferdinand would be foolish not to use his massive platform and standing in the game to cash in on a potential post-career goldmine. 6 Punditry Although Ferdinand plans to focus on his other interests, an immediate move to one of TNT's rivals isn't off the cards. Sky Sports have just freed up a boatload of cash by culling multiple presenters and reporters in a wave of redundancies. And it could be used to finance a potential swoop for Ferdinand, who would draw huge numbers along with former England team-mates Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. A move to the BBC could also be on the cards following Gary Lineker 's departure from Match of the Day. Ferdinand is no stranger to a bit of Beeb punditry having worked for the national broadcaster during multiple international tournaments, including Euro 2024. 6 Charity work Ferdinand could use his downtime to focus on the 'Rio Ferdinand Foundation', which he set up back in 2012. The foundation was set up with the goal of creating opportunities for young people in impoverished areas and has been a huge success. Restaurants Ferdinand entered the restaurant world in 2009, opening Rosso Restaurant & Bar in Manchester's city centre. But Rosso, which was visited by A-listers galore, closed its doors after 15 years of service back in September 2023. Ferdinand could look to revive the defunct restaurant or open a new one. Although given the volatile nature of the culinary world, he may decide against returning to the industry. Boxing Ferdinand tried to become a professional boxer following his retirement in 2015 but was denied a license by the British Boxing Board of Control. Ferdinand immediately gave up on his dreams of becoming a pugilist after the BBBofC's huge knockdown, although he could reignite them now that he has plenty of time on his hands. Influencer boxing promotion Misfits Boxing would no doubt jump at the opportunity to get Ferdinand in the ring as they recently did with his former United and QPR team-mate Danny Simpson. But they would likely have to break the bank to get him to lace up his gloves so late into his forties. 6

Rio Ferdinand QUITS TNT Sports: Man United legend announces exit
Rio Ferdinand has left TNT Sport following more than a decade with the broadcaster. Mail Sport revealed in March the former England and Manchester United captain was set to quit at the end of the season in a major blow for the station. Insiders at TNT have insisted that the decision was 'an amicable parting of the ways' but it is understood that Ferdinand was the driving force behind the move. The 46-year-old has a growing portfolio of business interests, along with a young family, and recently his management company New Era signed a partnership with Beverly Hills-based talent agency giants WME. Ferdinand, who has a following of more than 30m across various platforms, was offered a new contract by TNT some months ago, but it went unsigned, much to the dismay of bosses. The door remains open, and he may return for certain elements of coverage next season. In a statement released at noon today, Ferdinand said: 'I have made the difficult decision to step away from TNT sports after the Champions League final. Statement: After ten incredible years, I have made the difficult decision to step away from @tntsports after the Champions League Final…. — Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) May 28, 2025 Rio Ferdinand has announced his exit from TNT Sports after 10 years of broadcasting He reportedly plans to relocate to Dubai with his wife Kate nine years after meeting her there They are 'seriously considering' relocating with their children and have looked at houses 'Since retiring from football it has been a privilege talking about the game I love for a decade for sports fans watching on BT Sport and TNT Sports. 'I want to acknowledge the tremendous support from the team behind the scenes whose hard work often goes unseen but has been essential to our success. 'To everyone at TNT Sports, we have a brilliant end to the season to look forward to on Saturday and for now all focus will be on what I think could go down as one of the great European finals. 'The network continues to thrive with more rights than ever. I know I look forward to following its progress and the exciting future that lies ahead. 'Lastly I would like to thank my family and my management company New Era for their ongoing support. They have supported me to travel all over Europe following the best players and watching the best matches.' A switch in focus to the US would make sense. With the World Cup taking place across the Atlantic next year, WME are focussing on securing opportunities in the US for Ferdinand both on and off the screen. They currently represent the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Alba and Maggie Gyllenhaal. 'I'm excited about what the future holds, spending more time with my family focusing on Rio Ferdinand Presents and my other business interests,' he added. 'I hope to stay connected with all of you in different capacities. Thank you once again for everything.' He is reportedly planning to move to Dubai with his wife Kate Ferdinand. They share kids Cree and Shae, while Kate is also stepmother to Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13, from Rio's marriage to late wife Rebecca Ellison. According to the Sun, Ferdinand and Kate are 'seriously considering' relocating with their children and have already started looking at swanky properties and schools. The couple would base themsleves in The Gulf and travel back to the UK for work, giving Rio opportunity to boost his business portfolio aboard. The 46-year-old has a host of other business ventures, including Rio Ferdinand Presents Rio and Kate, who married in 2019, met back in 2016 through mutual friends while they were both on holiday in Dubai (pictured) The couple would base themsleves in The Gulf and travel back to the UK for work, while also giving Rio opportunity to boost his business portfolio abroad A source told the publication: 'Rio and Kate are seriously considering being based out in the Gulf and are looking for a sprawling home with plenty of bedrooms. 'They love the lifestyle and sunny weather and have lots of friends out there. It's a very safe place for families and offers a healthy lifestyle, which suits them well.' 'It holds a special place in their hearts as that's where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK'. MailOnline contacted their representatives at the time of the report. Rio and Kate, who wed in 2019, met back in 2016 through mutual friends while they were both on holiday in Dubai. Kate marked eight years since she met her husband as she shared a heartwarming throwback snap of the couple together in December. The couple were back in the UAE to ring in 2025 with Kate sharing a cosy snap of the them enjoying a night out. Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Rio and I met eight years ago yesterday. A source said: 'It holds a special place in their hearts as that's where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK' 'Who would have thought that fast forward to now we would be back in the place we met, married, with two more beautiful children, five in total 'It's crazy to think that a chance meeting, and so many hurdles thrown our way we would be ready to see in the new year as a family of seven (just missing our Lorenz). It come after the couple watched the footballer's eldest son Lorenz make his senior football debut. He made his debut for seventh-tier-side Havant and Waterlooville and secured a 3-1 win, after joining on work experience. His Manchester United star father was in attendance for the match at the Alfred Davis Memorial Ground in Marlow, alongside Kate.
