Season four going to be an eight episode hit piece on Christian

Mike is so bitter to Christian. I find it extremely irritating when Mike likely would have done the same thing given the opportunity. A bit of a sore loser IMO on his post Survivor media tours

He’s selling the season lol

I mean Christian was dumb though and it's going to hurt him in the future. I'm personally bummed because Mike brought levity and character to the season.

Although I didn’t like the move, Christian was always going to be #3 in the DvG 3.

Mike claims he told production that if he made it to the end with his friends (Angelina, Christian and Ozzy) he would self eliminate at fire. If this is true than Christian turning on him probably really hurt. I mean he had just give him a non speaking cameo on White Lotus with his wife. Mike also did this before, most people agree he threw DvG when he should have won for the other two finalists.

Well let’s see if jt pays off for Christian. I kind of think Mike was right about everything he was saying. What’s her face is definitely not trustworthy.

Christian made a big mistake I think. He can’t trust what’s her name at all.

She’s playing a lot like George from Australian Survivor, but without the speaking skills

Please give us a Coach inspired character. Please give us a Coach inspired character. PLEASE give us a Coach inspired character.

Better yet, just give us Coach on S4 and let him improv.

I wonder which castaways will be making White Lotus cameos next.

I for one am hoping for a Coach cameo, or inspired storyline.

Mnudge Mar 25, 2026 +2
Survivor, White Lotus, aka Season 50 was the official casting call. Jeff always says go get off the coach and apply!

Will Ozzy get that cameo?

Yes, he is already okay with showing hog

Anyone that voted for him doesn’t get a cameo

Rizo is playing the same game as he did in 49.

He had to choose if he was giving a role to Christian. This season cleared it up

Survivor is generally appointment tv. Even the official sub has an extremely short embargo window for spoilers.  It's been a week, ya know?

True, which is part of why I don't go to the Survivor subreddit while I'm watching a season. I don't know... I'm conflicted because I would be annoyed if I got spoiled by that headline on r/television which rarely has posts about Survivor (thankfully I'm caught up on the current season at the moment), but on the other hand the headline isn't *explicitly* spoiling anything, so I don't think I'd call it out. Just one of those things you risk by going on the internet while caring about a show that's airing but you haven't watched yet.

drunkensoup Mar 25, 2026 +6
Exactly...this is the "television" subreddit. Am I supposed to see spoilers for every show that is a week old here? And while yes, the title doesn't really have a spoiler (although you can make a pretty fair assumption by reading it), the picture certainly does, lol. Also, adding "spoiler" to the picture with an article talking about mike's run on survivor, DOESN'T REALLY HELP, lol.

OkayAtBowling Mar 25, 2026 +4
Yeah though at least you don't see the picture until you've clicked into the article, and if you're reading articles about a show you're not caught up on you're really playing with fire! Though I do agree that it's *very* easy to infer the spoiler from the headline alone since that's how things usually go on these shows (i.e. >!contestants being interviewed once they've been voted out... and here's me acting as if there's any point spoiler tagging this!<). The spoiler tag on the post definitely isn't helping either, lol... I didn't even notice that before.

It’s been a week. If you are a week behind on the show, what are you even doing on the sub? If I have to wait a day to watch, I turn off notifications from Reddit and avoid sites that may spoil Viewers have a responsibility to avoid spoilers. Besides, the subject line doesn’t even spoil anything

drunkensoup Mar 25, 2026
This is the television subreddit. I am expected to see spoilers for every show here that is a week old? I generally do not have a problem with that here.
