  • Jenna Lewis was the first person cast on Survivor

    Jenna was on Todd's podcast yesterday and said she was the first person
    cast on Survivor. We know from Jeff that she was the first person
    contacted for S50. I believe her story as it fits Jeff's "full circle"
    comment when he talked about the casting of S50.

    That's really interesting - I had no idea or had forgotten that she was
    the first ever cast on the show. It's too bad she had to be the first
    one out on S50. It would have been fun to watch her play and compare
    with how she played on S1 and S8. A lot of people probably don't
    remember that she finished third in All-Stars, right behind Rob and Amber.

    Based on Todd's and Leslie's reactions, I think this was completely new
    info. I've seen the same surprise on SM.

    If you haven't watched the entire podcast episode yet, I strongly
    recommend that you do. The 75 minutes flew by. I wish the show had been
    able to capture/edit Jenna the way she was on the podcast. She told some
    great stories--stuff that was new to me. For example, she talked about
    pregame alliances in All Stars and how much it helped her. She said
    going into S50 that she knew no one other than Ethan and it killed her.
    She didn't think it was cool that they put her on a tribe where she knew
    no one.

    She took some shots at Cirie and expects to get attacked for doing so.
    She told a story about S50 where she claims Cirie took 45 minutes to do something. IIRC, it had to do with throwing balls (a ball?).

    She and Todd both confirmed that S40 was going to be "Legends" until the
    last second. Jenna said she had even does press kit stuff. Todd said
    when he was contacted he was told that he's a "legend" and that was the
    theme they were going with.
