Rumor has it Todd is out that would be exciting since we could get Earl and Wendell but instead we will tragically get Adam & Nick.
I was going to get excited that maybe my guy Mike could get on now but this just means Adam will most likely be cast instead since they are more "similar in archetypes". THE WORST. THE FREAKING WORST. Earl, Mike and Wendell all should be on over freaking Adam (and Nick).
Earl or Wendell will be getting straight robbed. But so is Jenna. Her story is sooo much better than Sarah’s. Sarah has no story left to tell. Danni, Kim, and Parvati play the role as Sarah but they play it WAYYY better, look way better, and have way more personality. Ugh Probst and crew unfuriate me. #justiceforjenna

I am sure they do prefer Jenna but with her recent struggles and troubles I think that is why she is not going to be on and going to be asked. Not because they chose sarah over her. All things equal no way in hell they choose boring zombie sarah over jenna.
That was a year, if she has proven to be clean and met all her legal obligations there is no reason she doesn’t deserve another shot. Like I said her redemption story would be great tv. She lost her mom young, she stood by her man as he battler cancer, after many years together he had allegedly been having a long term affair, her life spiraled out of control and she made poor choices and then got clean. Monotone Sarah has zero to add to the season.

WHAT?!?!? ethan was cheating on her this whole time while he had cancer and she was his rock?!?!?! This is the first time I have read that one. THAT IS SOOOOOO EFFED UP. I had not heard that one before. WOW.
Storytelling and character development is a huge part of the show moron.
We're not talking about a "new cast". We know this people and their past. All winners is simply about the game.
Honestly, the whole "sob story" BS ruins most shows. I've never once rooted for someone because of their past and never will. We get undeserving winners that way.
You need to go watch chess or a checkers battle it sounds like. Survivor is about people being put in a vunerable enviornment, being fully exposed, and pushed to their limits while playing a game. Their story often drives their game. Sarah has no purpose, Jenna does. Therefore she makes for the more compelling choice.
What if the last two remain are Adam and Nick, and Todd was dropped because Cochran had a change of heart and Cochran, Adam Nick and Ben are the final 4 in a "Bachelors Bragade" just like the 4 ladies from season 16.

Jenna > Sarah IMO but they can cast compelling or strategic...doesn't phase me in the least. Again, I watch for gameplay. Don't care about their lives at all.
Why do we care about their life story when it is about the best of the best?
we havent seen some of these people in 15+ years, their life stories could effect their emotions and how they play.
I believe that truly elite players can separate their emotions from the game...what is going on in their life shouldn't impact the "game" at all. You all seem to hate "gamebots" but they're there to play the game...not let their emotions dictate their play.

When sarah was so bland they had to make her not saying something ignorant to zeke a "feel good moment".

I both agree and disagree. The better players are able to separate the emotions from the gameplay, but that doesn't mean they have to show none. A big draw to people seeing returnees, especially ones that they haven't seen in 10 years is seeing how they change and grow as people, otherwise what's the point of casting old school players. Survivor used to pride itself on being a social experiment, the gameplay was originally just a way to get drama and raise the stakes.

The point is to see how they adapt their strategy. For me anyways. The best drama is always centered on gameplay...goes for BB and The Challenge as well
Adam being on is my worst nightmare. I absolutely cannot stand him. My least favorite winner and tbh just the player who I hate the most. He ruined by winning one of the best recent seasons. It was such a stain on a otherwise good season. SMH. Todd to Adam is a massive downgrade. Adam and Ben are the 2 the worst winners ever. They are the only winners who are "on" this cast who are not good survivor players.
I don’t hate Adam like y’all do but I do feel that way towards Nick. Todd just never did it for me. Hopefully with Todd out that leaves room for Jenna as the redemption pick.
I think Chrissy should have won HHH as well but Ben's nowhere near as bad as Adam...yeah, it was rigged for him but Adam winning, unanimously, is laughable. Adam won out of smypathy nothing more.
Ben and Adam better be out pre merge. If not it will be Game Changers all over again because WTF is going to waste a vote on those 2 *** clowns post merge when there will be much better players around that are way bigger targets?

I read that somewhere, I don’t know if it was confirmed.
It’s also not confirmed that Todd was the one dropped, could be but nothing it definite.

Omfg let me not... Yes I like watching humans with emotions on my TV playing a game.

Redmond leaked the first 8 of season 39... looking not very diverse so far... after DvG such a disappointment.
But yayyy Elizabeth Biesel, I’m a swimming fan lol and ahhh Ronnie Bardah. Guy is a really solid poker player.
Is Tommy a red head? if so I am stanning just because of that.
Todd is out thank goodness but if we get Adam over Earl/Wendell there will be some OUTRAGE.
Adam was a guarantee from the start. ******* stupid, I don't want him or Ben.
Todd would've been awesome, not sure why that's a good thing.

What are you guys talking about? Chrissy won HHH but gave her spot Ben for this All-Winners season becasue she is very charitable.
I don’t hate Adam like y’all do but I do feel that way towards Nick. Todd just never did it for me. Hopefully with Todd out that leaves room for Jenna as the redemption pick.
