What's up everybody. This is Scott and Lindsay here for Survivor Mania season 50 edition. That's right. But there's no episode yet. So what are we going to do? We're going to preview the season. We're going to give some of our thoughts and predictions based solely on some preseason coverage that we may have taken in or maybe have not had a chance to take in yet. And we're going to go on record picking our winners and things like that so that when this season plays out, we can actually say we did it beforehand.

benchmark seasons and milestone seasons because we went from season 41 all the way through

49 without returning one player and then now boom they're dropping a ton of new era

returnees on us and half the cast is made up of some veterans who have played five and six times like

Surinazi.

And then some who are finally getting their second crack like Angelina and Mr.
