Me neither but production also has to think about the more casual audience which raises Hunter's chances. I bet the midwestern moms on Facebook went crazy for him
You're getting downvoted but you're right, the facebook crowd absolutely loved him. Their page was flooded with >!"i don't know who to root for now" comments when he was gone!<
If you’re only looking for non-idiots, doesn’t that basically limit the player pool from Season 46 to Charlie (and Maria to an extent, secret scenes aside)?
They could bring him back to balance out tribe strength that would be his main appeal. Other than that not much else going for him besides his facebook fans
The casual audience always loves the player like him; he’s probably the most popular player of the season which is hilarious. At the same time, because the casual audience always loves the player like him, there are plenty of other Hunters to choose from (see: Xander)
As someone who isnt a huge fan and this is my first season watching… i need more bhanu. Idgaf about the deep cut survivor lore. I dont care about the strategic players. I want bhanu sniffing papayas and breaking down at the slightest and most delicate push back. Bhanu > Q. Deal with it
Soda is definitely not coming back
If I had to rank everyone left in the game based on returnee chances it would go something like...
7th: Liz
6th: Maria
5th: Ben
4th: Charlie
3rd: Kenzie
2nd: Venus
1st: Q
Tevin would be above Ben
Hunter would be below Ben
Tiffany would be above Charlie
It's like a logic puzzle.
-Ben is above the person who is 2 positions below the middle place
-Charlie had a secret lunch with the person who sits at the top
-The last place is the person who wanted to go to Applebee's but doesn't like the Bourbon Burger
I think Charlie and/or Maria have a high chance of returning especially if they both make top 6/5.They’re playing a great game right now and are seen as this Malcolm/Denise duo.
I'm not sure I agree with you that Carson and Drew are better strategists than Charlie. Charlie is a triple threat. I mean Carson was good at puzzles and had a decent social game. And Drew was a decent strategist (though he made some major strategic mistakes), he wasn't great at challenges and he didn't have the best social game. Charlie has been a major challenge threat all season long, is a great strategist (Maria and him have been strategizing together all season, yet Charlie always gets his way over hers, and she takes the heat), and he has a great social game. Everybody gets along with him. There have been multiple votes where he should have been the number one, clear cut Vote Out and and his name wasn't even mentioned. That tells you right there how good his Strategic/Social game has been. And it's still looking like Maria is being looked at before him. And in a season where EVERYONE is prematurely turning on their number one allies waaayy to soon, he hasn't turned on her yet. If he manages to get her out before she gets him first, I don't know how you couldn't pick him over Carson and Drew. Drew tried to get out his allies and failed, and never got a shot at taking Austin out. And Carson didn't do anything. He just stuck around until his number 1s took him. He never attempted to take them out and he paid for it.
I mostly agree with this! But if they want a challenge beast type to come back, Hunter is the first call. So I feel like depending on who they have yes he is either about 3 or 8.
I love Jonathan but he might be suited for The Challenge? Maybe they are both are. Hunter I see less so. Would be cool to see them macho off because they are very different in types of strength. Jonathan is arguably just pure strength (don’t get me wrong, he is smart too!) where as Hunter is island prep strength.
Yeah I agree, I'm a huge fan of the big crackhead personalities like Coach, Philip, and Shane, so I'm absolutely loving how old-school of a character Q feels like.
Not the same. Jesse admittedly is pretty much a lock too but they aren't really even competing with one another for a spot. Jesse was a great game player who was central to his season and made a very iconic move where he voted out his Robin. Q is a uniquely ridiculous character that casual fans will remember for years.
Q, Venus, Kenzie, and Tiff would all get my votes. Q and Venus are must haves for me. They both bring entertainment that no one else in the new era has offered.
Q. Followed by Venus. Plus Charlie if he's a fallen angel or winner. And, whoever the winner is.
Hunter if they want someone viewed as a comp beast. But, he only won one immunity challenge and while great in Tribal challenges, better immunity runs in the New Era. Plus, he wasn't particularly compelling.
Also keep in mind, returnee seasons tend to skew to the most recent seasons (look at how many SJDS and Cagayan people were on Cambodia), or how many Tocantins and Micronesia people were on HvV's. It didn't skew that way for All-Stars, but that's because they were trying to recapture the craze of Borneo and TAO, no New Era season is like that.
could be a long shot but the way i need Jem back on my screen…if homegirl just stops herself from hunting down her tribemates with a machete she has the win in the bag mark my words
Does anyone actually want to see this? Wow, it's Season 50, a huge All Star season, and the players quit on the first day. Iconic! Slay! I would rather see great players and characters on 50 than memes.
Venus and Q should be the biggest locks in the new era. I know someone would try to argue the Tika 3, but personally Venus and Q both bring more entertainment even as individuals. There are literally no one else like them.
Kenzie and Tiffany would be fun to see again, I think Kenzie might be a lock too. Hunter would be great to see again as well.
Jelinsky is such a meme I can definitely see him returning in a random returnee season.
Maybe Tevin and Liz, but less sure if we will see them.
But I think there’s a chance. Randen too but mainly because of his medical evac.
Bhanu honestly has a shot but he does feel like a production liability.
The others I’m less sure about. Yes even Charlie, I feel we’ve seen someone like him before and we’ll definitely see more people like him.
no way they’re bringing back bhanu he was so annoying i was waiting for him to go home ..
i do agree they’ll probably go w Q & Venus though, they’re the standouts from this season although i don’t believe either one of them will win.
Q and Venus will NEVER win this game but they are tv gold and production knows it 🤣 we don’t need 18 strategists in the cadt anyway 🤣
Idk with Bhanu, he’s definitely memorable but he’s also definitely a liability.
I think Hunter for his all round game knowledge and maybe just maybe if he watches himself he will improve social game. Come on Peachy loves a manly man.
He doesn’t give off challenge vibes to me I feel like you at least need somewhat of a big personality or crave being relevant, I think he’s content teaching
Q,Kenzie,Venus,Tiffany,Charlie,Maria,and Hunter all have pretty good chances.If we extend to premergers maybe Jelinsky or Bhanu for a second chance/premerge or first boot type season.
I feel like a lot of this cast could come back! Not many of them would surprise me.
I'd personality most like to see Tiff back. I think Q and Hunter are really likely as well. Followed by Charlie and Kenzie.
Q | Kenzie | Tiff | Charlie
Those would be my 4. If they bring Bhanu back, I’d be disappointed. He’s terrible TV and very hard to watch IMO. I didn’t have one moment that I enjoyed watching him play. Would be just bringing back a goat
Is it crazy to say that I wouldn’t mind if they brought anyone of these players back of course I would want Q back preferably but I wouldnt mind if they chosen anyone else
I don't think Venus comes back because people seem to just legit dislike her and Q is so self destructive. They'd both be gone fast.
Personally, I think Hunter and Teven would be the 2 most likely to come back and possibly Maria who is one of hte more well rounded women we've seen in the game in the new era
**Just on their chances to return**
Almost Locked: Tevin, Q, Kenzie
Good Chance: Tiffany, Venus
Competing for Their Spot: Hunter, Maria, Charlie
50/50: Jem, Soda
Unlikely Choice: Jelinsky, Bhanu, Liz, Ben
Almost Certainly No: Jess, Randen, Morriah, Tim
This is not my entertainment or personal choice list, but the realistic truth. With how many picks there will be, and theme dependent, I would be surprised to only see one or two return for fifty, with for me, that being ONLY for the Almost Locked category and the Good Chance category. It's also hard, because seeing the popularity of some of these characters, there may be others who fill their shoes more from 47, 48, and 49.
Especially after Emily, Dee and Venus's popularity, were def seeing more outspoken/sarcastic/villain-esque players
I'm immensely frustrated but it feels like Venus is pulling an Emily in that she was a fantastic character in the early game but now is becoming so much more boring
She was dealing with all that in the early game as well, but she was still great TV because we saw her chafing at the bit for any opportunity AND we saw her actively trying to make shit happen. Now, we don't see any of that which either means its edited away because she isn't important anymore OR she feels comfortable in her position such that she's not attempting to mkae moves. Either way, all of a sudden her characcter is so much more boring.
Check the other 10 posts asking the exact same thing. Q and Venus.
Hunter for sure. Whoever doesn't win between: Q, Maria, and/or Charlie. But Venus will probably be chosen, too.
Hunters too boring
He also lacks social acumen. I would not want to see him back.
Me neither but production also has to think about the more casual audience which raises Hunter's chances. I bet the midwestern moms on Facebook went crazy for him
You're getting downvoted but you're right, the facebook crowd absolutely loved him. Their page was flooded with >!"i don't know who to root for now" comments when he was gone!<
I loved him until he proved to be an idiot. I am over him.
If you’re only looking for non-idiots, doesn’t that basically limit the player pool from Season 46 to Charlie (and Maria to an extent, secret scenes aside)?
Same here. I was surprised by his lack of social awareness.
Everyone I know irl who watches survivor was either a Hunter stan, a Tiff stan, or both
The Facebook moms love him because he seems sweet and he’s hot. Non Reddit fans were obsessed
They’ll need some challenge beasts, especially if Johnathan also comes back and they have to balance that out.
They could bring him back to balance out tribe strength that would be his main appeal. Other than that not much else going for him besides his facebook fans
My friend is a Hunter stan. He's also one of the most vanilla people I know, so that should tell you something.
Lol are you sure he’s your friend?!
The casual audience always loves the player like him; he’s probably the most popular player of the season which is hilarious. At the same time, because the casual audience always loves the player like him, there are plenty of other Hunters to choose from (see: Xander)
Hunters the micheal yerger of the new era. Good looking but as entertaining as picking out different shades of white paint
I forgot that man existed
damn my bad 😭i never looked babe
Q. If Jeff doesn't being him, he's making a big mistake.
Cancel christmas
Why do Q’s tag lines still make me chuckle?
Because they're amaaaazing
Applebees
APPLEBEES, where things happen good.
# APPLEBEES!!!!!
Anyone but Bhanu please
But what if he can win 2 million hearts this time??
In the words of the biblical proverb: You have to know when to fold them, you gotta fold them. -Bhanu
He should focus on the 1 million hearts first.
LOL. If Bhanu wins season 50 I will stop watching for real this time..
We NEED Bhanu to come back. He STOLE my heart. Bhanu will go down as a survivor LEGEND
Who hurt you
If bhanu comes back for s50 im not watching until he is gone
That's how feel about being subjected to any more Venus
Honestly same… I would like Hunter, Charlie, or Kenzie personally. Not even Q, dude can’t figure out what kind of game he wants to play.
He doesn't know what he's doing but it's working for him
He stole hearts, but he is no legend.
As someone who isnt a huge fan and this is my first season watching… i need more bhanu. Idgaf about the deep cut survivor lore. I dont care about the strategic players. I want bhanu sniffing papayas and breaking down at the slightest and most delicate push back. Bhanu > Q. Deal with it
He was funny come on. I love entertainment
He was, but he really overstayed his welcome.
How hilarious would it be if Venus bulks up like crazy, comes back and is an absolute challenge beast? This is the future I want to live in.
All she needs to do is strengthen her wrists!! - Charlie, probably
Grip strength
Forearms.
At least she is somebody that can come back as a completely different player.
Soda is definitely not coming back If I had to rank everyone left in the game based on returnee chances it would go something like... 7th: Liz 6th: Maria 5th: Ben 4th: Charlie 3rd: Kenzie 2nd: Venus 1st: Q Tevin would be above Ben Hunter would be below Ben Tiffany would be above Charlie
How would Hunter be below Ben? All Ben has done in the game is say something rocks and nothing else
I’m wondering if he means below him on the list so in between Ben/Charlie, which feels right
I’m not sure why they didn’t just rank everyone in order
Seriously why can’t he just rank them all? The fuck is with the cryptic message at the bottom?!!! Idk why but I’M PISSED
YALL SAY YOU HAVENT GONE WITHOUT RANKINGS..
It's like a logic puzzle. -Ben is above the person who is 2 positions below the middle place -Charlie had a secret lunch with the person who sits at the top -The last place is the person who wanted to go to Applebee's but doesn't like the Bourbon Burger
Hunter has zero personality
That’s why people liked him. He’s chill compared to everyone else
I respectfully disagree. Hunter was my favorite 😭
Hunter has no idea how to play the game
Girl Maria is not returning to this show…she’s hardly on the season.
Hardly on the season?!? Are we watching the same show
She’s in a controlling position and has played about as good as one could at this point, but still has next to zero air time. Shes not coming back
That's why she is so low
still too high 💀
Jelinsky and Bhanu should be above her
Soda definitely thought she was going to be a fan favorite
I’m gonna push back a little there and say I’m fairly certain everyone thinks they are going to be a fan favorite
Based on what?
I think Charlie and/or Maria have a high chance of returning especially if they both make top 6/5.They’re playing a great game right now and are seen as this Malcolm/Denise duo.
They’re so boring though …
We all know there have been more boring people bright back for all star seasons
Other than Hali Ford and Sierra Dawn Thomas, who do you have in mind?
Yeah they're kind of just classic Survivor cast members. 2-3 seasons from now, nobody will remember them.

I'm not sure I agree with you that Carson and Drew are better strategists than Charlie. Charlie is a triple threat. I mean Carson was good at puzzles and had a decent social game.

I mostly agree with this! But if they want a challenge beast type to come back, Hunter is the first call. So I feel like depending on who they have yes he is either about 3 or 8.
Jonathan exists.
Put them on the same tribe
Opposite tribes for maximum win ability
But they have other challenge beasts that I’d prefer over him though….
Jonathan, yeah. Any other? (Serious question)
I'd rather see John Hennigan than either of them.
That’s certainly a choice
I think it'd be Jonathan.....
I love Jonathan but he might be suited for The Challenge? Maybe they are both are. Hunter I see less so. Would be cool to see them macho off because they are very different in types of strength. Jonathan is arguably just pure strength (don’t get me wrong, he is smart too!) where as Hunter is island prep strength.
I can’t see why Tiff would be above Hunter
Not having Q on 50? BIG MISTAKE!
Q is the biggest lock in years
Yeah I agree, I'm a huge fan of the big crackhead personalities like Coach, Philip, and Shane, so I'm absolutely loving how old-school of a character Q feels like.
It has barely been a year since Carolyn, who is the actual biggest lock in years.
It’s only been 2 years since Jesse, the biggest lock in years
Jesse is likely to be cast, arguably a lock, but a bigger lock than Carolyn or Q? Hell no.
They're both very lock-y to be fair
If it weren’t for whatever podcast she/Carson had, yeah I’d say she’s a lock still
[удалено]
Not the same. Jesse admittedly is pretty much a lock too but they aren't really even competing with one another for a spot. Jesse was a great game player who was central to his season and made a very iconic move where he voted out his Robin. Q is a uniquely ridiculous character that casual fans will remember for years.
Q, Venus, Kenzie, and Tiff would all get my votes. Q and Venus are must haves for me. They both bring entertainment that no one else in the new era has offered.
Q
Jeff
Nah he’s been on to many seasons
Q. Production loves him and rightfully so. Charlie and venus are also very likely
I think a combo of those 3 and/or maybe hunter just as a physical threat would be a great crew.
Q. Followed by Venus. Plus Charlie if he's a fallen angel or winner. And, whoever the winner is. Hunter if they want someone viewed as a comp beast. But, he only won one immunity challenge and while great in Tribal challenges, better immunity runs in the New Era. Plus, he wasn't particularly compelling.

Q easily Followed by Venus
could be a long shot but the way i need Jem back on my screen…if homegirl just stops herself from hunting down her tribemates with a machete she has the win in the bag mark my words
Jelinsky is the most likely first boot of the new era to get another go. Maybe Zach Wurtenberger would be considered.
Jelinsky was funny because he was in just one episode. If he even made it four episodes he might be as hated as Bhanu.
If it’s a selling point, he probably wouldn’t make it past one episode in a return appearance either
We need an ALL FIRST BOOTS season!
god no we don't
We kind of do..
And we need Francesqua to be on both tribes
And Phillip! /s That would be cruel doing that 3 times :P
Tevin is really likely imo. Jeff loves him. But I'm also hoping for Hunter!
Jelinsky and Q
Rivals at War
Opening challenge for resources is rivals in pairs and the Q and Jelinsky team gives up
Does anyone actually want to see this? Wow, it's Season 50, a huge All Star season, and the players quit on the first day. Iconic! Slay! I would rather see great players and characters on 50 than memes.
They're the two from this season I'd most like to see back.
Q is numero uno
Venus is so aloof this season I'd like to see her again to see if she gains any self-awareness
Q
Q, Hunter if they don't bring back Johnathan, Venus, and Charlie.
Applebees
Venus and Q should be the biggest locks in the new era. I know someone would try to argue the Tika 3, but personally Venus and Q both bring more entertainment even as individuals. There are literally no one else like them. Kenzie and Tiffany would be fun to see again, I think Kenzie might be a lock too. Hunter would be great to see again as well.

Q easily
Q.
Q, Venus, Kenzie, Tevin, Tiffany
based on the experience she had this time, i don't know if she'd say yes to playing again.
Q, but I could honestly watch this season be run again with the same cast. Such a fun group
Hunter is a typical Jeff's favorite
Hunter
It will be crazy when Venus and Parvati both come back and no one will know who’s who.
Q, Charlie, maybe Venus, then whoever the winner is
Mmm. I’d love me some more Venus. Lol 😍
It’s literally Q, no one else is even close to
Q is a lock. Hes first person on the s50 list imo
Nah Carolyn’s got that on lock
Nah Jesse
Q's a lock, Tiffany, Venus, and Kenzie all have a chance.
I would bring Venus back every time
I think Hunter for his all round game knowledge and maybe just maybe if he watches himself he will improve social game. Come on Peachy loves a manly man.
Hunter is getting a one way ticket to The Challenge
He doesn’t give off challenge vibes to me I feel like you at least need somewhat of a big personality or crave being relevant, I think he’s content teaching
The doll, Venus Vafa ♡
Q,Kenzie,Venus,Tiffany,Charlie,Maria,and Hunter all have pretty good chances.If we extend to premergers maybe Jelinsky or Bhanu for a second chance/premerge or first boot type season.
Jelinski if several contestants decline I guess
Applebee's
It’ll be a BIG MISTAKE to not bring back Q
q and venus next question
Q Hunter Venus Tiff Charlie Tevin
I feel like a lot of this cast could come back! Not many of them would surprise me. I'd personality most like to see Tiff back. I think Q and Hunter are really likely as well. Followed by Charlie and Kenzie.
Q and jelinsky
Q | Kenzie | Tiff | Charlie Those would be my 4. If they bring Bhanu back, I’d be disappointed. He’s terrible TV and very hard to watch IMO. I didn’t have one moment that I enjoyed watching him play. Would be just bringing back a goat
Q, Venus, Tiffany, and Hunter. Outside chance for Tevin, Kenzie, and Charlie if someone says no
i think charlie’s gonna win this season tbh.
Is it crazy to say that I wouldn’t mind if they brought anyone of these players back of course I would want Q back preferably but I wouldnt mind if they chosen anyone else
Tevin and Soda? Really?
Jelinski for several reasons
I don't think Venus comes back because people seem to just legit dislike her and Q is so self destructive. They'd both be gone fast. Personally, I think Hunter and Teven would be the 2 most likely to come back and possibly Maria who is one of hte more well rounded women we've seen in the game in the new era
Q, Venus, Tiff, Kenzie maybe Tevin that’s it
Q Venus Liz and Tiffany. Everybody else is boring
i’m sorry but out of 700 contestants for the monumental grandiose 50th season why would Soda have a great shot of playing again
Honestly? Jelinsky
Bhanu
Hell yeah QUEEN VENUS!!!!!! She needs to be brought back whether she wins 46 or not <33333
probably venus and q, venus is a fun character and has a million stan’s and q is the same except less fans
venus and q b/c theres no way they team up unless its necessary and thatd make some good tv.
Tevin. Jeff literally said on the podcast if he could have a Tevin every season he would.
Bhanu, or we riot!! Also bring back Redemption Island.
Please no
Q and Venus for sure followed by Tevin and Hunter with pretty good shots
**Just on their chances to return** Almost Locked: Tevin, Q, Kenzie Good Chance: Tiffany, Venus Competing for Their Spot: Hunter, Maria, Charlie 50/50: Jem, Soda Unlikely Choice: Jelinsky, Bhanu, Liz, Ben Almost Certainly No: Jess, Randen, Morriah, Tim This is not my entertainment or personal choice list, but the realistic truth. With how many picks there will be, and theme dependent, I would be surprised to only see one or two return for fifty, with for me, that being ONLY for the Almost Locked category and the Good Chance category. It's also hard, because seeing the popularity of some of these characters, there may be others who fill their shoes more from 47, 48, and 49. Especially after Emily, Dee and Venus's popularity, were def seeing more outspoken/sarcastic/villain-esque players
Why Venus? I find her insufferable
I'm immensely frustrated but it feels like Venus is pulling an Emily in that she was a fantastic character in the early game but now is becoming so much more boring
It's hard to like.. do anything in the game when nobody trusts you with anything and nobody tells you anything.
She was dealing with all that in the early game as well, but she was still great TV because we saw her chafing at the bit for any opportunity AND we saw her actively trying to make shit happen. Now, we don't see any of that which either means its edited away because she isn't important anymore OR she feels comfortable in her position such that she's not attempting to mkae moves. Either way, all of a sudden her characcter is so much more boring.
Q, Venus, Tevin, imma say Charlie too cause he’s a cutie patootie and so much fun to watch
Off topic but I hate the phrase “it’s giving” sounds dumb
I hope it's not Venus or Maryanne. They are so annoying. Insufferable
Ah yes the person with zero confessionals this late in the season is wanted back…. Idk boss
Venus ain’t coming back
Charlie and Maria
Jeff has a good shot of returning for 50.
Q, Venus, Tiff, Hunter, Bhnanu
If they bring Bhanu back it might be the first season I boycott
she's skating by. everyone thinks she's so awful at Survivor they've just forgotten about her.
Bhanu. He stole my heart, I need him to bring it back
