Survivor 50starts filming this spring, and there are already many rumblings about which returningSurvivorplayers will be heading out to Fiji for what's going to be one of the biggest seasons in reality TV history.
Looking at all 48 seasons ofSurvivorso far, theSurvivor 50cast needs to includeTony Vlachosor Sandra Diaz-Twine for a very simple reason. These are the only two-timeSurvivorwinners ever!
Why we need Tony and Sandra in Survivor 50
For a long time, Sandra held that title, but Tony just tied the record with his win inSurvivor: Winners at War(season 40). This will only be the fourth time in Survivor history that a player will have a chance at being a three-time winner. Sandra had that opportunity inWinners at War, Game Changers,andBlood vs. Water,but she came up short during those seasons.
Tony hasn't had that opportunity to go for three wins inSurvivoryet. After winningWinners at War,you have to assume that he'll be a part of the cast. There's just no way that Jeff Probst and the team can proceed without Tony unless he really just doesn't want to play the game again for a fifth time. He's doing other reality TV shows, so I have to imagine he's willing to go after that $1 million prize at least one more time.
And, I think we need at least Tony or Sandra in this cast. These are the only players with multiple wins inSurvivorhistory. That's a storyline that's been present in other seasons, but a player going for that three-time win? I want to see how the other players respond. I want to see if Tony and Sandra still want to win as badly as they did when they played five or six years ago. So, it would be a big mistake, in my mind, if they aren't part of the cast.
Honestly, I'd prefer if they both played inSurvivor 50. We have yet to see someone play against Sandra who also has twoSurvivorwins. Would that change her game? Would she target Tony earlier to make sure he wouldn't become the most winningSurvivorplayer in history? Would he target her? They've definitely had some good back-and-forths onSurvivorin the past.
Sure, Tony and Sandra have playedSurvivora lot, so I understand some fans not being interested in seeing them return forSurvivor 50.Some fans might prefer to see other players who have only played once or twice return forSurvivor 50,but this is history, people. We could have a 1-in-9 shot at a three-timeSurvivorwinner is Tony and Sandra play! That's worth it for me, honestly.
