The Survivor 50 cast has been announced!

Wednesday morning on CBS Mornings, longtime host Jeff Probst revealed the names of 22 of the 24 players that will be competing on Survivor's semicentennial season. That same day, the S50 cast was expected to fly to Fiji, with filming to begin soon.

With Survivor 50 soon to begin filming, Jack welcomes Deal or No Deal Island contestant and day one Survivor fan Kim Mattina to the show to discuss the S50 cast!

Kim has been watching Survivor for 25 years. Jack watched the first 40 seasons, but has not watched since Winners at War. Find out why Jack is back IN on Survivor, and who he is most excited to watch play again!
Longtime friend and member of the Jack Vita Show family, Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, will be making her triumphant return to Survivor. Stephenie has appeared on the Jack Vita Show more than any other guest, and cohosted a weekly recap show for season two of The Traitors, with Jack, last year. Jack reacts to the news of his friend's Survivor comeback!

Kim and Jack run through the names of the 24 contestants expected to compete on S50. Tune in to hear their thoughts on each cast member, and find out who they feel was wrongly snubbed and should have been on 50, but was ultimately passed over by production. It's a Survivor episode you will NOT want to miss!

Each week on the Jack Vita Show, Jack sits down with the most recent eliminated contestant from NBC's Deal or No Deal Island for an exit interview. This week, Jack is joined by four-time Survivor contestant, Survivor: Micronesia winner and former cast member on Peacock's The Traitors, Parvati Shallow! Parvati chats about her time on DONDI, and reflects on her 19-year reality television career!

Parvati made her reality TV debut back in the fall of 2006, appearing on Survivor's 13th season, Survivor: Cook Islands. She was 23 years-old at the time, and placed sixth. She would return to compete less than two years later, on Survivor's 16th season, Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites, also known as Survivor: Micronesia. A member of the 'Black Widow Brigade', Parvati reached the final two, defeating Survivor: China second runner-up Amanda Kimmel, in a 5-3 jury vote.

Parvati competed on Survivor a third time in 2010, placing second on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. She took a ten-year hiatus from competing on shows, declining opportunities that presented themselves to her. In 2020, she came out of retirement at the age of 36, for Survivor: Winners at War. She has since appeared on Peacock's hit show, The Traitors, and she will soon be competing on Australian Survivor, alongside Survivor winners Tony Vlachos and Cirie Fields.

Parvati discusses her time on Deal or No Deal Island. She earned safety from elimination in the first nine rounds of the competition. Had she not won safety, Parvati would have been targeted much sooner. Why were so many contestants going after Parvati, and is there anything she could have done differently to get them off her back? How does Australian Survivor winner David Genat rank among her greatest allies from all of the shows she has competed on? And how was Parvati able to identify David?

Parvati also chats about her life on reality television. Did she ever think she'd still be doing this thing in her 40s, with a young daughter? Why does she keep returning to TV, and how selective has she been over the shows she's done? Parvati reveals in this interview that she has declined opportunities to compete on CBS' Celebrity Big Brother, USA Network's Snake in the Grass, E!'s House of Villains and Amazon Prime's The GOAT. Parvati explains why she won't accept just any opportunity to be on television, and why it needs to be the right opportunity.

For over a decade, Jeff Probst has hyped Parvati up as the ultimate flirt and heartbreaker. But does Parvati think that's a fair assessment of her gameplay on Survivor? This is a question Jack has always wanted to ask Parvati. Parvati reflects on her time on reality television, looks ahead to her next chapter and discusses how the genre has changed in her near-20 years of reality TV stardom. All this, and much more, in an exclusive interview on the Jack Vita Show!

Each week on the Jack Vita Show, Jack sits down with the most recent eliminated contestant from NBC's Deal or No Deal Island for an exit interview. This week, he speaks with the ninth contestant eliminated, 37-year-old Austin native Phillip Solomon.

Phillip worked in a group of five that targeted "The Family" all season long. The original five was him, Lete, Luke, Storm and Seychelle. After the group lost Luke, Dr. Will began working with the group. Phillip had formed a bond with Parvati early on, but once Parvati used his own childhood trauma against him, their bond was broken, and Phillip found himself at odds with Parvati.

In this week's episode, Phillip agreed to a deal with David, which allowed him to collect a $75K prize. David promised Phillip safety, but went back on his word, sending Phillip home and making him the ninth contestant eliminated and the season's fifth-place finisher.

Jack chats with Phillip about his time on the Banker's Island, his confrontation with Parvati, and whether or not he tried to "emotionally manipulate" the four-time Survivor contestant. Did Phillip expect David to stick to his word? How much of his game was dependent on trust? Why did Phillip take the money over power and safety? Does he have any regrets? And how will this money change his life? All this, and much more, only on the Jack Vita Show!
