Both are filmed. S40 is getting attention for a specific reason.
Another headscratching update for season 40. I'm personally loving the chaos this is causing among superfans on the internet. I'm really just along for the ride.
100% deliberate. They know the history here.Starting to wonder if they're just designing this season with the idea of squashing spoilers for the season, or at least immediate ones. People will be watching these contestants when they return. Can't have weight loss spoilers if literally everyone was sitting on Edge of Extinction for 30+ days. Can't have family visit spoilers if everyone gets flown out.
Not completely sold on that being part of their reasoning, but I wouldn't be surprised if they took that into consideration in planning things.

I wonder if those last two rumors work in tandem
There is no family visit challenge, but you can pay to see them at a certain point.
According to a prominent Survivor spoiler, season 40 will have 90 minute episodes and 2 hour premiere and finale. Figured I didn't need to spoiler tag this one.

From stuff that came out about unaired portions of FTC, it sounded very much like Mike would have won the game if no money were on the line.

Yeah, but Nick was not well-off - he was working as a public defender. Mike's a multimillionaire.
Nick was a public defender, working in Kentucky, where I imagine the salary for public defenders is not high.
That'd be awesome, and hopefully it's a permanent change.According to a prominent Survivor spoiler, season 40 will have 90 minute episodes and 2 hour premiere and finale. Figured I didn't need to spoiler tag this one.
Agreed!It's about time they made that move. I hope this is a permanent shift going forward.
Hey guys!
Thought this might be the place to share a project that a friend of mine works on in his spare time. I haven't followed the show for years, but I was surprised by the production values and the hometown charm sucked me into watching the entire first episode.
Loved the 'exotic wildlife' shots where it's just a duck or a caterpillar.
Interesting, I recommend you to post it in this thread too:
Non-US Survivor |OT|
Australian Survivor Season 5 starts tomorrow and will be discussed there.
90 minute episodes with the GOAT cast, this is incredible. No amount of dumb twists will ruin this season for me. We might get another 39 days of Tony 😭😭
We can dream! It's super selfish, but I'm okay withthe edge being back just so we can potentially get more Tony if he's voted out.
Outside of one crazy post-merge tribal council... not so much.I stopped watching this season midway through. Did it get any better?
Australian SurvivorWhat other season/s had extended episodes(or mostly double episodes every week)
I remember those being infinitely better for just pacing and entertainment.
Nah I mean the American one,
I honestly wouldn't mind it, either. It makes sense to leverage streaming platforms in this manner using your mainline broadcast network as a gateway to bring in new subscribers. Offering expanded Survivor content on All Access that serves as a worthwhile complement to the mainline show is just good business sense. I know I'm not going to want to go back to a shorter episode format for Season 41.Season 40 might be airing the same time as Star Trek Picard so I would be ok with that 👀
Do we have a full confirmed list of S40 cast? Can't search spoiler sites because they probably spoil quite a lot more than that (don't want boot lists or winner), is there a list?
It's honestly an AMAZING cast, and anyone who says differently is nitpicking. Sure, there are two CLEAR omissions in, and it would be nice to haveRichard and Tina, but you just can't deny how stacked this cast is. Very very excited!Todd, Earl, Cochran, Fabio, or Bob (I'm kind of over JT at this point)
Eh, it's really about as disappointing a cast for me as it could have been given the premise.No Chris D, no Rich, no Tina, no Todd, no Earl, no Vecepia, but we've got *checks notes* Ben, Adam, Ethan, Amber and Sarah. I'm happy to see folks like Yul, Kim and Sophie finally come back, but it really feels like a waste of All Winners with a lot of the best winners not playing.
Didn't come to mind for me either. I think I sometimes forget that contestant was a winner, and not just a big character.General talk on the season 40 cast:
Was listening to a podcast and they brought up how they were surprised to not see Cochran on the cast and how they probably offered him but he couldn't or wouldn't do it. My main take away was that I was actually surprised because Cochran never even came to mind for a potential cast member. No idea why, but just never thought of him and was surprised to see him talked about as a surprise omission.
