Drew Basile, a contestant from Survivor season 45, is expressing his strong desire to return for the show's 50th season. Basile believes his strategic skills and ability to connect with viewers would make him a valuable asset to the cast. He gained recognition for his entertaining gameplay and seven-game winning streak on Jeopardy, showcasing his intelligence and competitive spirit. However, Basile's past overconfidence and tendency to be arrogant may pose a challenge for him in a season filled with returning players.
Last April, Jeff Probst revealed that all contestants on the 50th season of Survivor would be returning players . The last time the show had reoccurring players was during season 40 for "Winners at War," but this time around, Survivor could be looking to feature some returning castaways from the"new era.
Drew Basile Believes he is a 'great pick' for Season 50 Basile recently became the first Survivor player to compete on Jeopardy, where he qualified for the Tournament of Champions and went on a seven-game winning streak before being eliminated in the semi-finals. The 24-year-old still managed to bring home nearly 140,000 dollars, and now feels confident that he could apply the same smarts to win the million dollar prize on Survivor.
Posts It's no secret that Basile's ego grew as he continued to outlast many of his tribe mates on Survivor season 45, but the Master's student has not shied away from flaunting his pride. In the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, he explained that he's "not afraid to get mean," and stressed how he uses words as a weapon to be successful.
Survivor season 50 will likely debut in February 2026, but filming is not set to start until this Spring. Basile's memorable outing and ability to gain other opportunities after his first taste of reality television definitely makes him a possible option for Survivor's milestone season. He's also a contestant that stands out when compared to other"new era" castaways and could be chosen to represent the most recent generation of Survivor.
