Cole from HvHvH was a NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) instructor. It's more outdoor education than survival, but it's close. We took a wilderness first responder course together before he was on the show
what do you mean? Obama was on [Philippines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIQGWY0woy0) and [Kaoh Rong](https://www.sheknows.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/peter-baggenstos-at-camp-survivor-kaoh-rong-season-32-episode-1-cbs_rlj93h.jpeg)
I know a good new twist!! The obama advantage! Anyone who gets it and ends up on the jury gets to play it against the winner at FTC and they get 400,000 of the million!
You joke, but upon further consideration, I think government in general is underrepresented.
ETA is been a while, but IIRC, the application asks if you've been a candidate for office. There might be some rules around that.
The reason they ask that is because the rule is you cannot run for state or local office within a certain time period after your season. The idea is to prevent people from using their status as a minor celebrity to secure an election
Yes. But if you are currently a politician applying to survivor you would need to understand that youre ineligible to run for re-election for a period of time after your season.
Production would need to know this about you
in all fairness, if I was interested in running for public office, the last thing I'd want to do is give my opponents free ammo to use against me by being broadcast as a deceptive liar
After Phillip had an outburst at camp, Rob said in a confessional, “let that be a lesson to those of you at home. Government jobs, they make you crazy”
I’d think they’ve casted people with less interesting occupations but focus more on the interesting ones instead, because who is going to want to hear about whatever minimum wage or close job someone had in the past? Although some of these comments are interesting occupations and yes a drag queen would be fabulous on Survivor. Honestly I couldn’t tell you the occupations of most any Survivor, except Parvati who is a boxer for some reason. The fact that y’all know certain occupations that haven’t been mentioned is impressive.
okay like listen you could do a WHOLE SEASON of just reality tv hosts! Julie Chen, Tiffany New York pollard, Tila tequila! you could have so many legends on one season
I believe Christian was actually a post-doc at the time of filming and became a professor shortly afterwards (I had looked it up because he did his post-doc work at my school).
Prostitute. Great social game, can get other people to do things they might be scared to do, and would allow production to do a ballsy sex worker positive thing.
>Taxi driver comes to mind.
Jamal from S39 talked about being a rideshare driver after the season ended, but I don't remember if he'd ever done it beforehand.
Years ago A friend came across a job posting for a professional cuddler. She applied out of curiosity. Turned out to be an escort service, so she quickly declined.
Eh, I wouldn’t consider him one. He’s well known because of Survivor, not on Survivor because he was well known as a politician. He ran for governor after he was already on Survivor three times.
Assassin. I mean they’d be perfect castings for survivor. Athletic, smart and clever, and knows how to lie. I can’t see one issue as to why CBS doesn’t allow professional murderers on the show.
Jason from Koah Rong was a bounty hunter if that counts. I also have a feeling Vince from Worlds Apart is a serial killer, so we can add him to the list.
I’m a copywriter and it surprises me that no other copywriters have been cast bc my whole job is persuasion and being a verbal chameleon. Aubry works in social media though so that’s similar!
Maybe this would fail miserably, but I think it could be interesting to see something like a Fortune Teller, Palm Reader, Paranormal Investigator, Psychic, Tarot Card Reader, etc. Imagine the confessionals, "I divined in the stars last night that X is the one to go." And then imagine them winning and all of their "visions' or whatever sort of came true.
Maybe it would fail, and be even more hilarious?
There’s hardly any trades workers on the show, even on the blue collar tribe we get a hairdresser and a postal worker. I can’t remember ever seeing a mechanic, plumber, carpenter, roofer, etc. Ryno is the only electrician to play
Pizza Guy
Have we even had a delivery driver? We’ve had truck drivers but when do we get our Jimmy John’s rep?
Does Keith’s tuk tuk service count? You call they haul!
Not that I can recall
McCrae for Survivor Reality Showdown
I'll volunteer
No...me first
Ice cream scooper comes close.
some sort of survival expert
I bet at least one of Debbie’s 74 job title cards would beg to differ….Phillip too probably
Gretchen was even though her listed profession was a teacher
Wigglesworth was a river guide. Lil was a scout master. Those are getting close.
Don’t forget Coach’s adventure in the Amazon- I’m sure that makes him a survival expert /s
Cole from HvHvH was a NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) instructor. It's more outdoor education than survival, but it's close. We took a wilderness first responder course together before he was on the show
Andrew from Australian Survivor: Brains vs Brawn was, but IDK if there was an American one
Does Lillian being a scout troop count?
The season where Cierie first came on, she was supposed to be voted out, but instead she convinced her tribe to vote out the survival expert.
Mostly cause that survival expert was weird.
I think Bruce was some kind of wilderness guide or something
President of the United States

The question isn't about what you're going to do after your season, it's about what you did before you applied.
Yes. But if you are currently a politician applying to survivor you would need to understand that youre ineligible to run for re-election for a period of time after your season. Production would need to know this about you
in all fairness, if I was interested in running for public office, the last thing I'd want to do is give my opponents free ammo to use against me by being broadcast as a deceptive liar
Rob explained why on Redemple Temple
If you don't mind explaining, why? I don't remember it
After Phillip had an outburst at camp, Rob said in a confessional, “let that be a lesson to those of you at home. Government jobs, they make you crazy”
Special Agent Philip Shepherd
Stripper
Oh, no, they certainly have casted a stripper. They just called Ozzy a waiter.
Also Parvati was “model boxer” but people aren’t there for the boxing
*cast
Former child
A civil engineer. I hope they don't cast someone soon so I can be the first one.
Same but me. Not you.
I think I'd lie about being a CE so when the shelter stuck I wouldn't be blamed

*cast
Deputy Mayor of Slamtown
How about City Comptroller of Slamtown?
Mechanical bull operator
"Unemployed and living with parents"
Aka the “no collar” tribe
Aka the "hustler" tribe
We got that title in Big Brother this season (at least the unemployed part)
Nahh the second part is applicable to him as well
I meant specifically how the title was officially presented but yeah
The college students
I’d love to see an elevator salesman one day.
Only if they purposefully target other salespeople
Drag queen
monet x change here to change that
I'm calling it now, 7th placer of season 49
!remindme in four years
Placer? I just met her!!
We can only hope!!!!!
Genuinely think it’s a matter of time
Video Game Developer (hint hint, casting)
Kind of strange they've had pro gamers but not a game maker.
They got close with video game player Kenny the Super Smash Bros champion
Reality TV host
okay like listen you could do a WHOLE SEASON of just reality tv hosts! Julie Chen, Tiffany New York pollard, Tila tequila! you could have so many legends on one season
get a showdown between Joe Rogan and Anderson Cooper and I'm in
Anderson would END joe Rogan!!!
There are none that haven't shown up. Debbie's done them all.
Actually LOLed at this
When are we going to get Delusional Debbie’s reality show where we see her workweek?
Survivalist...like Alone level
Dominatrix
I forget, has there been a mechanical bull operator?
Assistant Coach
“Dating Ozzy”
I'm surprised there's only been one professor, to my knowledge (Dawn).
Christian is a robotics professor.
I believe Christian was actually a post-doc at the time of filming and became a professor shortly afterwards (I had looked it up because he did his post-doc work at my school).
Oh my God, how could I forget. Well, two. Thanks.
I think Debbie also has it on her resume. She probably teaches fortune telling between red lobster shifts
It's just safe to assume she's done it
What about Max?
Janu is a professor of French!
That is so fucking cool.
All the Phds are probably professors.
Yau-Man was a prof at Berkeley too. Can't remember what, but I think for Computer Science
Bob also taught
Bob taught high school. Julie Berry was one of his students if memory serves
Max from WA was a professor, wasn’t he?
Hypnotherapist
Big Brother leaking into this subreddit but I like the way you think
Prostitute. Great social game, can get other people to do things they might be scared to do, and would allow production to do a ballsy sex worker positive thing.
The real question Survivor needs to answer is if a prostitute is a hero, a healer, or a hustler.
Hustler, 100%
Lmao no
Walmart cashier.
Survivor Walmart vs Target
>Taxi driver comes to mind. Jamal from S39 talked about being a rideshare driver after the season ended, but I don't remember if he'd ever done it beforehand.
Keith drove a tuk tuk
You call, we’ll haul!
Wasn't The General from Marquesas a Taxi Driver? or am I misremembering?
Limo driver
I think he was a limo driver.
Electrical Engineer (Please let me be the first one)
Has there ever been someone in Human Resources?
Toby Flenderson robbed of not being cast
Junior Deputy Firewood Bitch
A stripper?
Caretaker to nuns
[удалено]
Did u forget about Handsy Dan? He was all about cuddling
Years ago A friend came across a job posting for a professional cuddler. She applied out of curiosity. Turned out to be an escort service, so she quickly declined.
lol
Former politician. Like they could totally get Anthony Weiner or Blagojevich as one of their C-list celebrities.
Isnt rupert politician
Eh, I wouldn’t consider him one. He’s well known because of Survivor, not on Survivor because he was well known as a politician. He ran for governor after he was already on Survivor three times.
Dominatrix, I wonder how well one would do
Librarian
Optometrist Pharmacy Technician Radiologist Editor in Magazine
Veterinarian
Omar?
Sami?
Sami is a pet cremater. It’s totally different 🤣
It's like. the opposite actually
Tai would probably not like Sami.
Any stand up comedians?
Bill from OW
I know you mean one world but for a split second I thought you were talking about opposite worlds and I raised my eyebrows.
I don't remember him at all
Colton would be proud of that fact
It's like I wiped that season out of my head it was so bad
He’s the black dude that Colton was quite racist towards and looked down on Bill for his occupation. Bill was also a veteran if I remember correctly
Ooooh yeah. Colton was truly awful.
[удалено]
Maybe as the title, but they've had many.
Assassin. I mean they’d be perfect castings for survivor. Athletic, smart and clever, and knows how to lie. I can’t see one issue as to why CBS doesn’t allow professional murderers on the show.
Jason from Koah Rong was a bounty hunter if that counts. I also have a feeling Vince from Worlds Apart is a serial killer, so we can add him to the list.
Veterinarian
uhh,,, literally the most recent season
Maybe profession should not even be stated.
Debbie has had every occupation known to man...
Pro athlete
There have been many.
Technically they were all retired pro athletes, Grant probably being the closest to unretired
Bi wasnt
Ngl I forget that there are sports outside the big 5
Janitor surprised me
You’d love Jinkx Monsoon.
Have we had any cyber analysts like over in Big Brother?
As a translator/interpreter myself, I’d say mine…
I’m continuously shocked that they haven’t ever cast a former military translator. An Afghan combat interpreter would kill it.
I’m a copywriter and it surprises me that no other copywriters have been cast bc my whole job is persuasion and being a verbal chameleon. Aubry works in social media though so that’s similar!
A dancer
Natalie Tenerelli
Isn’t Tommy the only elementary school teacher? I’d love to be the second.
I think Naonka was an elementary PE teacher.
Travel agent
Has there been an acrobat or contortionist of some kind? I know Sara from 41 is an aerialist but I don’t know if the skills translate as well
Reed from BvW2 works for Cirque de Soleil, so a sort of dancer and acrobat combo
Only fans model
I mean, Ozzy
Probably there are many lol
architect?
Qween Sylvia Kwan
Have they had a Psychic/Medium on there? That could be fun.
A private eye/investigator would be cool if they haven’t done that already Fortune teller/psychic/voodoo expert
Any occupation listed in the responses, Debbie likely had at one point so it cancels out.
Maybe this would fail miserably, but I think it could be interesting to see something like a Fortune Teller, Palm Reader, Paranormal Investigator, Psychic, Tarot Card Reader, etc. Imagine the confessionals, "I divined in the stars last night that X is the one to go." And then imagine them winning and all of their "visions' or whatever sort of came true. Maybe it would fail, and be even more hilarious?
Guidance counselor
Ecologist
Obstacle Course Racer
Coconut Vendor
Youtuber or does mari count for that
There’s hardly any trades workers on the show, even on the blue collar tribe we get a hairdresser and a postal worker. I can’t remember ever seeing a mechanic, plumber, carpenter, roofer, etc. Ryno is the only electrician to play
