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!
