Every day, we get closer to theSurvivor 50cast announcement. And as usual, we hear another rumor about theSurvivor 50cast. Well, there's one making waves online thanks to Redmond's post on theInside Survivor Patreon,and it suggests one of the stars ofSurvivor 47will return forSurvivor 50.
A recent update made on April 21, 2025, which has caught on viaRedditand Twitter, suggests that one of the women forSurvivor 47is likely to join theSurvivor 50cast.Many fansare speculating that this meansGenevieve Mushaluk, who finished fifth onSurvivor 47,has been confirmed to return.
There are only a few players, realistically, who it could be, and it seems like Genevieve is the fans' pick from the season to return, based on reading the various Reddit threads.
While no names are being reported yet as locks forSurvivor 50,this is obviously a good sign! Redmond of Inside Survivor waits to confirm the cast list until the players are actually filming the season, which is likely only a few short weeks away.
Now, back to Genevieve. If there's one player fromSurvivor 47who fans want to see again, the answer is probably Genevieve, so if she's really coming back, that would be great news. She was an incredible strategic player last season, and she made her big move a little bit too soon. When Genevieve's threat level increased, she didn't back away from the challenge. Instead, she partnered with Sam Phalen and Andy Rueda to pull off one of the best blindsides we've seen in a long time in Operation: Italy.
It would be really interesting to see Genevieve play again with a reputation for being such a good strategic player. There are more than a few players rumored to be inSurvivor 50who would make great allies for Genevieve, but we'll discuss that later.
Honestly, Genevieve had as good of a chance to win her season as anyone. If she's in the Final Three with Rachel and Sam, I wonder if things play out differently.
Two other women fromSurvivor 47would be great fits inSurvivor 50.Winner Rachel LaMont closed that season in an epic fashion, so I'd love to see how she would play the game differently. Caroline Vidmar is another player fromSurvivor 47who would be really interesting to see inSurvivor 47, as well. Those are the three women fromSurvivor 47who I would assume were considered very seriously for the new season. It sounds like Rachel is out becauseSurvivor 50might be a no-winners season. That's what other rumors have suggested, too.
I'd also throw Andy and Sam in that mix ofSurvivor 47players we'd love to see inSurvivor 50,but it doesn't sound like that's going to be an option.
We'll continue sharing updates about the Survivor 50cast as we find out! It looks like things are happening behind the scenes! And, we still have five more episodes ofSurvivor 48to enjoy before a long summer break. Enjoy it,Survivorfans! Things are happening!
