• Tweet from Rizo

    From Brian Smith@dcg_brian@hotmail.com to alt.tv.survivor on Sat Dec 13 00:49:35 2025
    From Newsgroup: alt.tv.survivor

    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.
    Tommorow I say goodbye to the man that inspired RizGod #ThankYouCena

    LizGod? There's a female version of Rizo? Save me...

    And of course he'd be a fan of John Cena. Fits his brand.

    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. 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. I think he really likes the newbies he can dazzle and
    have fun with and pretend to be affable Uncle Jeff.

    and his wife, Rachel and her husband, and Eva and Connor McDavid.

    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. 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. And for
    right now, at least, I don't think he wants to retread the tired old
    gimmicky themes like Blood v. Water. 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

    Yes but Moonves was a professional TV guy who had literally decades of experience with creating, producing and even acting in TV shows. 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. His early career was heavily focused on movies
    and movie production, and his entry into TV Management came much later
    in his career. 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.

    It's Larry Ellison I'm concerned about. We're talking about crazy
    amounts of money now. If he manages to get WBD over Netflix a lot will
    change. Hollywood seems very concerned about this possibility. Would
    reality TV be immune? We'll find out in two or three years if the legal battles are over by then.

    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
    fire away from taking the crown. But guess what ? The Man The Myth The
    Legend R-I-Z-G-O-D RIZGOD BABY IS BACK FOR 50 #Survivor50 #Survivor49

    https://x.com/RizGod__/status/2001577827544764647

    I wonder if he would got MC and Kristina's votes if he had won fire?
    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.

    That's a good question, but it's really hard to say who would have voted
    for whom if Rizo makes the finals instead of Savannah? For example,
    would Rizo still get Sophie's vote? Unclear. I think Sophie respected Savannah as a peer, but would she regard Rizo the same way? I think it
    is possible she would have voted for Sage, who was also good in
    challenges. Alex's vote might have gone to Sophi. There is really no
    way to know. I think Savannah would have voted for Rizo and probably
    Nate as well, but the others are unclear.
