Survivor 50 cast includes Mike White, Colby Donaldson, more
This morning the folks at CBS officially announced the Survivor 50 cast, and let’s just say that there are a few surprises.
First and foremost, Mike White? How can we not start with him? The creator of The White Lotus is a super-busy guy and we honestly never thought that he would want to do this again … and yet, here we are. He is a part of the whopping 24-person roster who populates this season, one that includes some original favorites, longtime legends, and also new blood from the past several seasons. Are there snubs? 100%, and there are also two contestants from the upcoming 49th season premiering this fall.

There are a couple of surprises that we have from looking at the group right away. Does Ozzy need to be on again? Is there more to his game than what we know? That is one question. Another is whether obvious duos like Mike / Angelina (who made a cameo on his show) or Kyle / Kamilla are going to be targeted right away. There has to be concern with that.
