    ***Rob said upfront that there are no spoilers in his analysis.***

    Last week Rob did a video where he went back and analyzed the 2:18(?)
    promo video they showed us at the end of the S49 After Show to see how
    it stacked up to what we've seen so far. The promo had a lot of
    misdirection. For example, they made it seem like Devens found a Billie
    Eilish idol and that Rizo was part of the Zac Brown reward. The Rizo confessional wasn't even shown in the Zac Brown episode.

    The most interesting thing about Rob's analysis is when he freeze framed
    on them showing a Beast Games-Survivor 50 coin. I had no idea there was
    such a coin. Rob said he watched both seasons of Beast Games and that
    the Beast Games coin was in both. IIRC, Rob said the coin is in the
    MrBeast briefcase. The player gets two flips and if they guess
    correctly, the prize money for the game is doubled. In the first season,
    if the player guessed wrong they were booted but not in the second
    season. The coin in the initial S50 promo could be another misdirect. If
    this is how things play out with MrBeast then is Jimmy Fallon going to
    get rid of a ton of players?

    I decided not to watch that cause it might give away that certain
    players are still around at certain points. For example, if a
    particular scene with a player hasn't appeared while you're watching the current episode, it might signal they don't get voted out yet.

    This is why I almost never watch pre-season previews for any show. Much better to just let them unfold.

    Huh? So you never watched the first look promo for S50 that Jeff showed
    at the end of the S49 After Show? That 2:18 clip is what Rob went back
    to analyze.

    I did watch it in real time because I knew I wouldn't remember it months later. But I'm not gonna re-watch it now that I am well into the season itself.
