The genre had already taken off thanks to productions like MTV\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/the-real-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Real World<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/the-challenge-real-world-road-rules-spin-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Road Rules<\/a>, and The Challenge, with the network shifting away from its musical roots and diving into new and uncharted territory. Then, at the turn of the millennium, CBS brought the heat by adding two one-of-a-kind game-based reality titles to their catalogue with the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/big-brother-27-finale-twist-morgan-pope-lost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Big Brother<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/survivor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Survivor<\/a>. Both shows are still going strong today, with each universe spanning multiple offshoots, but this year, it\u2019s Survivor\u2019s time to shine thanks to the upcoming arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/survivor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Survivor 50<\/a>. Today, as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/collider-exclusive-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Collider\u2019s Exclusive Spring Preview<\/a> event, we have a first-look set of images that unveil the competition to come when a slew of familiar faces return for their shot at winning.<\/p>\n<p>Slated for an arrival on February 25, the <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/25-years-survivor-50-tv-adventure-series-still-captivating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">milestone 50th season<\/a> of the beloved competition series, where players attempt to outwit, outplay, and outlast their rivals, will put the game in the hands of the real stars \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/survivor-50-in-the-hands-of-the-fans-celebrities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the fans<\/a>. Ahead of Survivor 50\u2019s debut, those at home were able to vote on options including tribal colors and where the finale and reunion would be held, along with more game-centered decisions that will affect how the players move about their new surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Our sneak peek images for Survivor 50 include a huge number of familiar faces, including <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/mike-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mike White<\/a>, who has found massive success in the years since Season 37 thanks to his HBO anthology series <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/the-white-lotus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The White Lotus<\/a>. Orange, teal, and magenta bandanas can be seen in each of the shots as the players take their spots and prepare to face off against one another in what we can only imagine being some incredibly difficult missions. We know that the drama will be messy as always, but it looks like the contestants will take that spirit into the challenges, as another photo sees everyone absolutely covered in mud.<\/p>\n<p>                        Who Else Will Appear in \u2018Survivor 50\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>In addition to White, Survivor 50 will \u2014 of course \u2014 see the return of longtime and fan-favorite host, <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/survivor-49-tribe-swap-twist-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jeff Probst<\/a>.
