The Survivor 50 players have been back from Fiji for a few weeks now. They’re all obviously on very aggressive NDAs and can’t speak about the results of what happened, but they have been approved to make innocuous social media posts and give interviews to hype other projects. I’ve mostly tuned these comments out, but to be honest, I can’t stop fixating on something OG legend Cirie Fields recently said.
The multi-time player, who many call the best non-winner in Survivor history, was doing an interview with E! Online, assumedly to push her partnership with Nutri-Grain and the “Not Sorry” campaign, when she was asked about Survivor 50. Of course she was going to say positive things, but her statement was so ludicrously over the top that it left me a bit rattled. Check out this quote…
I can tell you one thing about season 50, and I haven’t said this about any other season. I’ve watched since Richard Hatch. I’m a fan as well as a contestant… Best season ever. Best. Not just because I was there. Best. Season. Ever.
how much crazy stuff happened, it’s reasonable to think she probably knew she was apart of something special before she actually watched the season. It’s certainly possible the same thing happened here.
I don’t know. I feel like I could drive myself crazy trying to figure out what all of these comments mean. Unfortunately, I can’t help myself and will continue to speculate about the most minor evidence because that’s what a Survivor superfan does.
Survivor 50 won’t actually air until 2026, but given it’s the first returning season we’ve had in a long time, fans have a ton of feelings they are not keeping to themselves. I’m right there with them and have done my fair share of complaining, but mostly, I’m just excited to see how it all played out. Fingers crossed it truly is the best season ever.
