Survivor: Cambodia finalist Spencer Bledsoe has been making the rounds as a rumored potential pick for Survivor 50, but it seems Jeff Probst has spoken.
The original brain tribe member of Survivor: Cagayan posted in a tweet that he was officially cut from season 50 after months of casting, expressing how he felt the production wasted his time by making him think he was for sure going to be involved.
Who else just got cut from season 50?

After being misled into feeling like a lock and then kept on ice since August, I get everyone voicing their rejection. We have lives, @JeffProbst.
I will be producing an episode of my docureality series — to be titled Healing from Survivor…
He also shared that he's producing a new docuseries with an episode dedicated to past Survivor players and their—often difficult—experiences integrating back into everyday life after the show. He extended an invitation to anyone who wants to be involved to join him in Ecuador, where they'll be filming.
And two more well-known players alluded that they are not returning for season 50, either.
Spencer's brain tribe adversary Kass McQuillen and the Dragon Slayer himself, Benjamin "Coach" Wade replied to his tweet with a hint to where their own futures with Survivor sits.
I’m in for Ecuador.

While we've been hearing a lot of whispers over the last few months about who might (and who definitely will not) be returning for the anniversary season, this is the first insight we've gotten into the casting process and who exactly the show is looking towards for possibly returning.
I expect we'll see some more fall out across social media from players as they get cut—especially if they also felt they were strung along only to be let go—if there's still more casting eliminations to come.
But if this does mean we have a certified list of players returning, who do you think will be back? And will any of our current Survivor 48 players be on it?
Only time will tell...
