Im not sure if this has been discussed......http://insidesurvivor.com/cast/survivor-season-40-cast-revealed



ALL WINNERS??!!! Holy crap how in the world did I miss this?? My friend just sent it to me. Ive heard of this Redmond guy before from my reddit days, but never really wanted casts spoiled for me. Boy, am I thrilled I'm spoiled for this one. Just to clarify, this is casting spoilers for the Survivor season 40, no actual game spoilers. Id punch anyone who spoiled this season for me, lets go Parv!!!!!

PARVATI AND SANDRA?!?! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 

Ok, if that list is true than I'm so excited for them (less so for most others, but whatever). This means we get Sandra on back to back seasons!

Its 100% true. Redmond has actually never been wrong on casts, themes, and twists. I think he has someone form CBS who gives him info to feed superfans. But seriously, dude has never been wrong and if he was he publicly corrects himself. But ya, this is the cast. While Id wish there was no Ben or Nick, I ADORE this cast. Give me a final 5 of Tony, Parvati, Sandra, Natalie, and Tyson. Kim can make final 6 too. Outstanding job CBS!!! Now, we wait until February.

It also means we have to put up with Rob for two seasons in a row. But I guess you take the good, you take the bad...

(which reminds me I still need another season with Lisa Whelchel)

I read years ago that she was offered a spot on Caramoan (Fans vs Favorites 2) but she declined since it filmed 3 weeks after her season. Doesn't seem like they've offered her a chance since.

That's a real shame since she was maybe the most surprisingly great player I've seen there.

She's up there in terms of story arc for a season, and ups and downs for sure. Aubry in Kaoh Ring has that cake though Imo

For the most part, I like it.  Really wish the show would get off the loathsome Tyson train.  Ugh.  I'm always happy to see Parvati, Sandra, Ethan, Yul and Natalie.  Not of fan of Wendell and though Ambuh is like watching paint dry, it will be interesting to see how she and Rob play given their marriage is a pretty obvious advantage.  I imagine Rob would be the first major target.

Same guy who posts the casts just said Edge of Extinction will be in this season. Honestly as a long long time fan of this show, last season didn't feel like Survivor. I frankly don't know how they decided to do Edge for an all winners season but I don't like it. Just give us a pure game come on.

I really liked Edge because we got to know everyone in the season instead of forgetting about them immediately. But yeah, it seems like a weird waste of air time for an all winners season.

I didn't care for last season but I did like that element. I mean, we would've gotten only 1 episode of Reem!!!! But Reem won't be there this season. This is such a waste with this cast. Sure maybe its fun to have Sandra and Parvati and Tony around all season but it feels cheapened tbh. Couldn't be more unhappy with this. Really unsure of their decision making process here.

If they were smart, they’d make each episode 90 minutes and really focus on them.
