The goal for every Survivor player is to win. That’s clearly the highest upside outcome, both from a monetary standpoint and from a legacy standpoint. Every player out there for Survivor 50 is hoping to come home with the money and eternal bragging rights, but since 23 of the players are going to lose, I think it’s worth talking about what each player needs to do to live up to the fan expectations.
For a newbie season, the benchmarks for success are basically always the same: make the merge and get a strong edit from producers. Those generic goals will carry over here, but since all the Survivor 50 players are returning as part of one of the best casts in the history of the show, it’s a little easier to define what success might look like for each person. Some can grow their legacies by simply giving us more entertaining camp life content. Others really need to make a deep run or pull off a strong strategic move or do something wild in a challenge to grow their legacies.
