    Survivor 40: Winners at War

    S39 is airing in fall 2019, but all the talk is gonna be about s40. The biggest season done yet(although imo, HvV has more star studded cast).

    Not officially announced by CBS yet, but basically everyone else talking Survivor knows the theme and the castaways.

    Dont talk about who finishes where(word on that will be out eventually, but that talk isnt allowed here. I dont even know why fans would want to know in advance.).

    The cast:
    Inside Survivor reveals the rumored cast of returning champions for Survivor's landmark fortieth season.



    I'm hoping Parv wins this season. Rob and Kim in f3 would be nice as well. Even Yul in finals would be nice.

    If Sarah,Natalie,Michele end up as 2x winners......

    re: Survivor 40: Winners at War

    Man, I know I watched all of those seasons but I don't even remember some of those people. My first impression is that I'm going for either Nick or Rob but I do like Wendall and Yul, as well. Some of the girls are some of the weakest and least memorable winners that I can think of. It would probably have been better (entertainment wise) to put who came in 2nd place in their seasons instead. Actually, a runner-up season would be really good but there's also more people to pick from since there are multiple runner-ups each season. But yeah, that would ruin the theme so maybe another season...

    Overall, I agree with Maj that HvV had a much better cast, however I'm sure this season will have it's share of fireworks. The only thing that I know for sure is that if Sandra wins again my head is going to explode.

      Sandra winning again would be crazy. She shouldnt have won HvV, but the bitter jury chose to award the person who got least people mad as the winner. Parv should've won, but they associated her with Russell and didn't want a villain winning.


      If not this cast, who else?

        If not this cast, who else? Theres 37 names to chose from. A cast of 20 people means 17 get cut.

        My main beef was with some of the females but I guess since it's a half male and half female cast, then there's not a lot of good replacements.

          Don't sleep on Yul. He was very cerebral in his season and his group was able to take Parvati out before she could get far enough to do any damage in their initial season.

            Women: Tina,Vercepia,Jenna,Natalie are only ones out.

            Natalie is one of worst winners ever(jury didn't vote her to win,they voted AGAINST Russell), Jenna apparently could be dealing with personal issues, I've never heard of Vercepia in Survivor world since her season, and Tina perhaps could be too old(she 60 I believe).

            Men: Richard, Brian, Chris, Tom, Aras, Earl, Todd, Bob, JT, Fabio, Cochran, Mike are the men out.

            Cochran I'd imagine isnt allowed back due to working for CBS. Richard obviously isnt allowed back. And of the others, I'd replace Nick,Adam,Ben with JT,Aras and Earl. Those are only 3 I'd really care about over those 3 who made it. And even then, Jeff finds Aras boring and Earl wasn't a Survivor fan.

              Only knock on Yul is that he might not care about winning. He's probably losing money by being on Survivor. I think he works for Google or something?

              But his season in general was so good. You had Penner,Candice,Ozzy,Yul,Parv all part of that cast. I almost forgot that when typing it. Yul and Parv reunited. He was the most powerful player in Survivor history thanks to the old school idol twist where it could be played AFTER the vote reveal

              Definitely see Parv going after him. He's the only one who has ever been able to get her out.

                Why isn't Hatch allowed back? He did Survivor All-Stars after his first season. I know he had that tax evasion problem but that was his first go around, unless he hadn't been to court yet for it when they played All-Stars.

                  If we had a runner up season, it'd be a great cast. I'd have it:

                  Women: Wigelsworth, Steph, Dani, Amanda, Chelsea, Tasha, Angelina, Courtney, Monica, Laurel

                  Men: Colby, Dreamz, Stephen, Russell, Dom, Brad, Ken, Spencer, Woo, Coach

                  I hope they consider a season like that in the future.

                  He had a probation violation in 2011 as well(I believe it was right around time of HvV when they wanted him on that). Just seems like he'd be too much of a negative guy to have, although it is reality TV. Controversy brings in ratings. The Sue incident would surely be brought back up online, especially given today's society (bad things from peoples past ends up resurfacing online. That moment was controversial back then. People of today possibly being made aware of that for first time ever would roast him and Survivor even more. Maybe even ripping CBS for allowing someone who did what he did on the show to be allowed back. Especially if he plays another season with no pants)

                      re: Survivor 40: Winners at War

                      Sad news to pass along.

                      Rudy (from s1 and all stars) has passed away.

                      Crazy to realize he was in 70s when show started and was in his 90s!


                      Edit:
                      Or not. Apparently he's still alive. But not in good condition. It was people from Survivor saying they heard from someone in his family who said that, but his granddaughter said he's still alive. Sadly it might just be a matter of days.

                          funny (well not really) if Rob and Amber got divorced because of Survivor just like they got married because of Survivor

                          they could be arch rivals and lead alliances against each other, make strategic targets of the other one's group, play idols accordingly, get to final 2 against each other, then reveal it was all a hoax. Rob wins again, in Survivor and life

                            Anyone watch the highlight show yesterday? Basically recapped the first 20 years of the shows history and the impact it had.

                              I did, not in it's entirety, but the majority of it. I haven't seen every season so it's always cool to see the highlights from seasons I missed. I think it was TVLand that ran a marathon of all the old seasons, I tried to catch up but couldn't catch 'em all

                              I'll never forget the female crew that tricked Erik into giving up his immunity, that might be the greatest move in show history.

                              The preview for next season was weird to me, like, Sandra said Boston Rob didn't mention that he'd be on the next season. What was that about? She acted like they were LITERALLY on the island of the idols for 39 days together, are we really supposed to believe that? And the next season is all champions, why would he need to tell her he'd be on the next season, they're both champions!

                              Bleh, it's all tricks, neither of them will actually win and they probly screwed themselves by being on Island of the Idols in the first place, but cmon!
