In The Survivor 50 Files, host Brandon Donlon dives deep into the castaway archives — exploring the journey of each player in the Survivor 50 cast in the order they originally played.

With insight from former tribemates, behind-the-scenes stories, and a sharp eye for the game’s evolution, Brandon unpacks what made each of these players memorable and why they earned a spot in the biggest season yet.

Brandon Donlon dives into the world of Survivor 47 with special guests Kaleb Gebrewold and Sabiyah Broderick in this episode of the Survivor 50 Files. The trio reflects on their experiences from Survivor 45 and discusses the potential impact on Emily Flippen’s gameplay in the upcoming Survivor 50.
