Can we get a running list of players who were seriously considered and cut? They have to be confirmed to be cut, not that they dropped. So far...

  • Jerri S2
  • Sean S4
  • Rob S6
  • Abi-Maria S25
  • Davie S37
  • Jesse S43
  • Not having this a battle of the eras by tweaking the cast just a bit is crazy. This is insane behavior.

    At least I have Australian Survivor and Challenge 41 to look forward to, both have more Survivor All Stars on them than this tragic mess.

     

    Was Cesternino really cut from this or did he decline? This is the biggest disgrace.

    He did a patreon yesterday and said he was interested and they cut him around the time they cut jesse and carolyn 

    What the ****? Rob Cesternino is one of the most involved players if not the most with RHAP (i don't like RHAP like that but still). This is crazy

    Mike White coming back is kind of iconic lol Not an OG fan so maybe my cares for OGs are much smaller than most but I feel like most shows that do monumental seasons tend to have a lot more recent people and it makes sense to me. 1. You get current viewers who didn't watch back when season 1 was airing and 2. It shows all viewers new and old their new crop of players. It shows the show still produces solid players in the new gen so I get it. Thats how you get people to tune into 51. 

    6-8 from the new era would have been enough. 9 from 4 seasons wasn't necessary. The new era has been heavily criticized and disliked. This season is celebrating 25 years. Representation should be fair and balanced. Bad take. Next.

    Thank you for contributing your opinion but let's try and think a little further and from a producers mindset you want newer people on there so people tune into 51. Truly idc much cause im a newer fan but just trying to push people to think past the "im an OG fan we want 90% of the cast OGs/Legends only". Most people upset will tune in anyway including you. 

     

    Prepare for the women to get steamrolled. They know cirie is a threat and came from of a traitors win, Dee is a winner, Genevieve had a good run on 47 and so did kamilla on 48. And as for Tiffany, they hate strong and opinionated black women. It'll be a boys club that Jeff will orgas^m to

    It's a bunch of guys who celebrate honor and integrity. This is gonna be so bad. 

    Joe, Jonathan and Coach are going to get all the women out over nerds like Christian Charlie and Rick 

    apparently mike does not like rob at all so maybe since mike was one of their biggest gets this season he may have said he wouldn't be on if rob was

    Survivor has a long standing loyal fanbase. I've read the comments on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Majority of complaints are that there's so many new era players on this. I said I was fine with doing 8 new era players and doing a battle of the eras. It was a pretty simple and perfect concept. It's bad casting and bad decision making. 

    Rizzgod 1st boot please! Smile

    Rob made fun of the Emoji movie and Mike was butthurt over it lol. Pettiest/funniest feud. Mike wasn't dropping over that and it would have been funny to see play out. A missed opportunity. Rob was the OG nerd that paved the way for Christian and Charlie, him not being cast is a crime and I hate RHAP.

    No way the boot order can be as tragic as 40. At least we have that.

    24 contestants for 26 days is crazy. Hopefully its an early merge since premerge is much more boring to me most times 

    Stopped watching 40 as soon as Poverty and Sandra got voted out.

    If these honorable guys team up it will be! We need the women to dominate minus Aubry even though I fear she'll win this season Sad

    Who is doing the draft this season? We need to go ahead and do it cause I know some of you freaks are going to get spoiled.

    And that loyal fanbase including you will still tune in regardless so guess it's not that bad then. Long term longevity of the show I don't think it's so bad. 

    An end game with the women minus Aubry plus Q is what I want

    This is gonna be dogshit. Just prepare yourselves. There's gonna be double tribals every episode. No one will get a satisfying arc. It will be a total mess.

    with the rumored cast I have tempered any expectation a long time ago ****, its a bummer to see a show i loved so much get wasted away like this

    This is stupid logic. Just cause majority of your fans tune in doesn't mean you should try and make a dogshit cast. It's celebrating making 25 years on TV which is huge, they should have given us the best cast possible and they didn't. I don't understand what point you are trying to make besides just arguing for the sake of it? Also, I quit watching a few of the new era seasons cause they sucked. So you're wrong.

    Arguing about it's good for the longevity when an overwhelming majority of the fanbase is complaining on all platforms.

    "Since Season 41, Survivor has seen a steady decline in live viewership, dropping about 40% by Season 48. The sharpest drop occurred from Season 40 to 41, after the pandemic. Ratings have gradually declined each season, with Season 48 hitting record lows. Between Seasons 47 and 48 alone, viewership dropped around 9%, continuing the show’s downward trend in the “new era.”"

    Yeah, lets cast from the seasons where ratings started to drastically decline and fan reception has been overwhelming negative. That'll really help with the longevity of the show.

    For a season with a stupid name like "In The Hands of The Fans" there should have been votes on which eras we wanted to see cast from, if we wanted more villains, strategist, loyal players, etc. Truly we should have voted on the entire cast or at least half of it like BB7 did.

    I'm fully convinced Survivor as a competition and reality show has completely run its course with Probst in charge. And I am/was a HUGE Survivor fan. I've been watching this show since Season 1. 25 years. I was a little kid to a grownazz adult.

    Casting is still pretty **** good IMO. 48 sucked but the hit rate on entertaining castmembers overall for Survivor is like 65-70%. That's borderline fantastic to maintain that level over 25 years. There are seasons where 10 of the 18 castmembers suck, but there's way more seasons where 12 or 13 of the 18 are fun to watch and are entertaining. It's the dull format and terrible twists that are killing the show.

    The show needs to put Probst into the retirement home.

    But your the one responding to me and questioning my opinion? If you don't agree or think my logic is stupid or think my opinions are bad takes then simple don't respond. I'm not the one saying you or others opinions are wrong like you are. See you on premiere day! 

    Well you are wrong. It's an open discussion forum, people will respond when they agree or disagree. If you don't like that then logout because message boards aren't for you.

    That gap from 18-32 is crazy... who would yall have casted from those seasons? Smile
