The tribe producers have spoken.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of Survivor season 50<\/a>\u2014which features all returning players\u2014host Jeff Probst<\/a> explained why fan favorites Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano<\/a>, Parvati Shallow, and more season 40 alums weren’t asked back.<\/p>\n

“We made a decision not to bring any of the winners from Winners at War because we had just seen them and it was a big season,” Jeff explained on the Oct. 22 episode of his On Fire<\/a> <\/a>podcast, which he cohosts with winner Jeremy Collins. “And I know a lot of people are going to miss players like Jeremy, but that was the reason why. That simple.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the season 40 castaways won’t be outwitting, outplaying and outlasting for that $1 million prize, there are still plenty of stars who will reignite their torches, including season 37’s Mike White<\/a> and Christian Hubicki, season 13’s Ozzy Lusth and season 12’s Cirie Fields.<\/p>\n

And this certainly isn’t the same game old school Survivor alums Jenna Lewis-Dougherty and Colby Donaldson once played.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The tribe producers have spoken.\u00a0\u00a0 Ahead of Survivor season 50\u2014which features all returning players\u2014host Jeff Probst explained why…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-96882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
