The More I Think About These Alleged Survivor 50 Tribes, The More I’m Worried For A Few Players

by

Let’s discuss a matter of importance before we proceed: potential spoilers for Survivor Season 50. I won’t pretend to be an expert and tell you how to prepare like Ozzy climbing a coconut tree, that’s your call. Personally, I prefer going into the season with minimal information. However, I make an exception here because knowing the cast members doesn’t necessarily reveal much. If you’d rather avoid this discussion, feel free to retreat to Exile Island. You can rejoin the tribe in the spring of 2026 when the new season airs.

It’s great that you’re still here! Let’s discuss the rumored tribal divisions in the upcoming season of Survivor. While I can’t guarantee these groups are exactly what we’ll see, they were shared by Inside Survivor, a reliable source, and have also been supported by other knowledgeable parties. The broader Survivor community, including reputable outlets like Survivor Specialists, seem to view these as authentic. Therefore, I will also take them at face value.

If you haven’t seen the rumors yet, you can check out the breakdowns in the following tweet…

Let’s admit that we can’t predict with absolute certainty how these players will behave when they reach the beach, but considering our familiarity with most of them (except for Rizz God and Savannah), we have enough insights to make educated guesses. Moreover, we can also make informed assumptions about which tribes might excel in challenges and which ones may find it difficult, a crucial factor since two tribes are expected to attend Tribal Council each episode before the merge.

Let’s face it straight away: The purple/pink tribe, consisting of Stephenie, Aubry, Angelina, Genevieve, Colby, Q, Kyle, and Rizz, is in a tough spot. While Colby was impressive during the early phases of his Survivor journey, he struggled in Heroes vs Villains, which was over thirty seasons back. Q might be one of the most physically capable players on this tribe, but unfortunately, his previous tribe lost three out of the first four Immunity Challenges. This tribe isn’t exactly a walk in the park for even experienced players like Stephenie or Angelina. To put it simply, Angelina isn’t quite up to par with Laura Morett.

It seems this tribe might find themselves often at Tribal Council before the merge, implying many members could be eliminated early. I’m particularly worried about Angelina and Rizz God, who may be viewed as the least physically strong players. Some individuals might find themselves in advantageous positions to play a middle game role later on, but that path isn’t the most straightforward.

It’s important to note that just because most tribes appear stronger, it doesn’t guarantee safety for everyone within them. There are specific reasons for certain players to feel uneasy, despite their larger tribes seeming dominant. For instance, on the Teal tribe, there is an unexpected absence of Original Game (OG) representatives. Many spectators expected each tribe to consist of 4 New Era players and 4 OG players, but this isn’t the case with this particular tribe. In fact, it leans more towards the New Era side in terms of numbers.

As a devoted movie buff, I find myself in an intriguing scenario: Team New Era boasts five players against three Original Guardians. Interestingly, my beloved Coach is the sole member of the entire tribe who’s competed before the age of 32, which raises a larger casting concern. He does have a connection to some island residents, notably Charlie, as they both share a bond with Ben Katzman. However, this arrangement might not be advantageous for either of us. I’m equally unsure if it’s beneficial for Dee. Kamilla, Charlie, and Mike White are all masterful social players who seem to aspire to lead quietly within strong alliances, making the gameplay potentially challenging.

In simpler terms, the Orange team appears to have a good balance of physical prowess and puzzle-solving skills, making them potentially strong contenders for challenges. However, if I were Emily Flippen, I wouldn’t be overly joyful. She finds herself in a group with more Original Game (OG) than New Era players, and she doesn’t seem to have natural allies among the other two New Era players. Joe seems to play like an OG player, and since Savannah is from the 49 team and her playing style is unknown, she could be a potential early elimination candidate.

There could be a situation where Emily might connect with Christian, given their similar personalities, but she’ll likely have to establish bonds swiftly since she seems to be at risk of being the first player eliminated. Unfortunately, forming connections quickly was her biggest challenge in the game during season 45.

Absolutely, things seldom follow their intended course, especially when it comes to returning seasons. Each player has demonstrated the ability to reach the merge at least once, which makes for a high degree of unpredictability. Some have faced tougher challenges with their tribes than others, but everyone has the potential to form surprising alliances and make a significant impact. I’m eagerly anticipating how it unfolds.
