Ever wanted to have Survivor winner Parvati Shallow wish you happy birthday? Ask Figgy advice to prepare for the show? Cameo can help you out.

We’re just days away from the Survivor offseason officially ending and David vs. Goliath preseason beginning, meaning there’s a dearth of things to talk about within the community. One thing that’s becoming an increasingly popular way for fans in the community to reach out to the players to send them messages of support for themselves or on behalf of a friend.

Cameo is a celebrity shoutout platform where fans can search for television, film, YouTube, Instagram and other social media stars and pay them to send personalized messages. Once you book someone on the platform, they have seven days to send you a video that you can download and share. Most people ask for happy birthday wishes, wedding shoutouts or, depending on the star, advice based on their expertise.

Reality television personalities are a huge wing of this platform, and this includes a number of Survivor players. As of this post, there are a handful of players available on the platform, including Micronesia winner Parvati Shallow, Worlds Apart’s Rodney Lavoie Jr., both Joe Anglim and Sierra Dawn Thomas, and Millennials vs. Gen X’s Figgy and Jay Starrett. Sorry, but Stephen Fischbach is not available right now.

Prices I’ve seen range from $20 and $25 from Jay and Parvati, respectively, up to $100 from Joe. That range may seem like a lot, but they don’t come close to the higher end of asking prices on Cameo, some of which include Jake Paul from YouTube and actual entertainer Tom Felton of Harry Potter fame.

Though some may balk at the idea of paying someone you don’t know money to pretend to be interested in you, for many, the level of intimacy with these Survivor personalities sending videos speaks to them on a personal level. Many are moved by the performances of actors, musicians, visual artists and filmmakers, so the chance to have a reality show competitor send you a video message might be the perk of happiness someone might need.
