And Hi everybody and welcome back to the Survivor 50 wishless

podcast an off-season series that we're trying to figure out who could and should come back for the upcoming

returnee season of Survivor 50 and did somebody say returnees let's talk about one of the more recent returnees

that for the first time since season 27

truly turns what it means to be voted out on its head and really for the first

time in survivor history produces its most unconventional winner in Edge of Extinction.

the game and coming back again, considering that he covers the challenge voluminously over on the free agents

podcast. So Matt Legory, could we just consider the edge of extinction a version of the Redemption House

I've seen a lot of people look like they want to leave a redemption house. So the parallels are there.

seasons go. I feel like it kind of got glossed over so fast as we you know it was like the

setup for season 40 of you know if this edge of

extinction situation was going to work some will say it did some will say it

didn't we'll talk about that today but it did feel like in real time it just got completely run over on the road to 30,
