The tweet includes a clip from Wednesday's episode. It's spoiler
free--zero game talk. After watching this clip, I'm seriously
questioning why he was asked to play in S50. Did Savannah ask for him to
be her +1 in exchange for agreeing to play?

Based on what we've seen so far, Riz is clearly not even close to
legitimate returning-player material.-a We haven't seen the full season
yet, so I presume whatever prompted the show to bring him back for S50
must come later in the season.
I doubt Savannah would make a demand like that or that it would be granted.-a She is clearly a camera hog and would no doubt jump at any
chance to return for a second season, and especially a special one like
S50.
And if you're making a list of Survivor providers, how do not include Richard Hatch on the list?-a I get that the Riz wasn't even born when the first season began airing, but he's also probably too young to really remember Rupert or Tom.-a I realize Hatch is probably still and will
always be persona non grata to the show, but he still belongs on any
list of the show's best providers.
Not sure what list Riz-boy belongs on.-a Maybe Survivor's biggest buffoons?LOL! His cockiness must have went over well with the CBS execs for them

Wednesday is Ep06 which is getting close to the half way mark. If we had been told two players from S49 were chosen to play in S50 but not given names, I would not have guessed Rizo was one of them. Savannah up to
this point is the clear stand out of S49. I would have gone with
Shannon, Sophi, or Nate as the other player.
I doubt Savannah would make a demand like that or that it would be
granted.-a She is clearly a camera hog and would no doubt jump at any
chance to return for a second season, and especially a special one
like S50.
Maybe she and Rizo are a team the entire game and to give Savannah some protection in S50, they also cast Rizo.
I wouldn't say Savannah's a camera hog. She's clearly the leader of her tribes and is calling the shots. That's why she's getting a lot of
screen time.
And if you're making a list of Survivor providers, how do not include
Richard Hatch on the list?-a I get that the Riz wasn't even born when

Was Rupert a good provider? I recall him making a major shelter error
that I think impacted their supplies, IIRC.

buffoons?
to sign off on him. I hope his audition tape shows up on YouTube. I'd
like to see if his tagline was part of his sales job.

up to this point is the clear stand out of S49. I would have gone with

And I have to say that I still don't have any clear concept of who the
other Sophie is --a call her Sophie with an "e".-a She has been the most purple of all the players this season.-a She hasn't been to TC yet, and
she probably has fewer confessionals than anyone else still in the game.
I doubt Savannah would make a demand like that or that it would be
granted.-a She is clearly a camera hog and would no doubt jump at any
chance to return for a second season, and especially a special one

Yeah, it could be similar to casting Kyle and Kamilla together.
I wouldn't say Savannah's a camera hog. She's clearly the leader of
her tribes and is calling the shots. That's why she's getting a lot of
screen time.
But remember, she was a former TV news reporter who obviously must have loved being on camera, since it was her job - and I do think that
carried over to Survivor.-a She has been both the leader as well as unofficial narrator of the season so far.
And if you're making a list of Survivor providers, how do not include
Richard Hatch on the list?-a I get that the Riz wasn't even born when
the first season began airing, but he's also probably too young to

Was Rupert a good provider? I recall him making a major shelter error
that I think impacted their supplies, IIRC.
He was definitely a good provider of fish during his first season, but you're right that his shelter was terrible and eventually flooded on his second season, All-Stars.-a If I am remembering right, on All-Stars it
was former real-life construction foreman, Boston Rob, who built the
much better shelter and probably one of the best shelters we'd seen on
the show.
John Cena inspired RizGod? FYI, Sophie Segretti and others have
confirmed Rizo's gf Elizabeth does go by LizGod. If she's game, Jeff
will probably cast her for S53. ____________________________________________________________________
Having LizGod tell me Cena won at Mania in her love letter at F6 was
unreal. I couldnrCOt stop talking about it the entire reward. I then come home to finally meet John after being a die hard fan of 23 years.

If you look at the actual tweet there's a photo. LizGod looks like
potential Survivor material to me. Maybe starting with S51 they'll go
back to doing themed seasons. She could play in a Blood vs. Water season.

I don't think they'd bring Rizo back for a third season that fast.
Depending on how he does in S50, I think (hope?) that's the last we will
see of him for a while.
Also, it's my impression that Jeff doesn't want to a lot of returning
player seasons.-a He'll do it for major milestones like 40, 50, probably
60, if the show is still around, but I think he recognizes the show went
a little overboard in the 20s and 30s with returning player seasons
every few years.-a I think he really likes the newbies he can dazzle and have fun with and pretend to be affable Uncle Jeff.

We'll have to see if the new owners want any changes. I wouldn't mind

I don't think the new owners of CBS or its Chairman David Ellison are
likely to get down into the details of successful shows like Survivor.
The show gets good ratings and is much cheaper to produce than a prime-
time dramatic series like one of the CSI shows.-a As long as the ratings remain good and the show continues to turn a profit, I think Jeff will continue to be the major force behind the series.-a And for right now, at least, I don't think he wants to retread the tired old gimmicky themes
like Blood v. Water.-a I could be wrong, but I really think he is done
with that.

When Les was running CBS he micromanaged a lot of shows including
Survivor. You can thank him for Fabio, for example. With all of the mega deals happening right now I'm not discounting interference from the owners.

Yes but Moonves was a professional TV guy who had literally decades of experience with creating, producing and even acting in TV shows.-a Before
he became an executive, TV was his full-time career. Also, as you point
out and as is often typical of people who works their way from the
ground floor up, he was known as a detail-oriented micro-manager who had
no trouble meddling with individual productions.
In contrast David Ellison, as the son of Oracle executive Larry Ellison,
was pretty much born into management positions and with financial help
from his billionaire dad, formed his own company, Skydance, when he was still in his early 20s.-a His early career was heavily focused on movies
and movie production, and his entry into TV Management came much later
in his career.-a He much more a professional manager and big picture guy than Moonves and I think is much less likely to meddle into an
individual TV show's production.
Not how I wanted to go out. But I am so fucking proud, lived my dream, obtained some best friends, but most importantly left my mark. Was a

That would have vaulted Sage to second. Sage should be very grateful to Savannah and especially Sophi for the much bigger payday she ended up getting.
