I'm actually still kinda surprised it won't be until 50. I thought they might finally go for it at 48 - I mean that'd match All-Stars timing but for the "New Era". They're gonna have a lot of players to pick from.
New Era casting has actually been really great - the issue was too many people are of similar life background and philosophy on how to play Survivor, but each of the people inspanidually have been great choices for the most part.
My double unpopular opinion is that a) I don't like returnee seasons much anyway so I'm glad there's less (I think the essence of Survivor is 16 strangers figuring each other out, and returnee seasons with pre-gaming and legacies just isn't the same, though they can be very fun) but b) I actually think a new era returnee season is more interesting as a concept, because of how the new era has become so... y'know, its all 18 superfans with the same meta, with this "no hard feelings" attitude that makes it feel like a casual board game night, so i wanna see just how much they can push this metagame now that they have experience under their belts
