Jeff Probst just dropped some major clues on which two Survivor 49 players were cast on season 50.
While being interviewed on the red carpet at the Austin Film Festival on Tuesday, Oct. 28, the Survivor host revealed that the remaining season 49 players will learn during the Wednesday, Nov. 5 episode that they could be selected to compete on season 50.
"Next week, the tribes merge, and when they were all together, I said, 'I'm gonna tell you something. We haven't shot Survivor 50, and we're not fully cast,'" Probst said. "And I'm telling you this because I want you to know you're not just players on this season before 50. You are players on our 49th season, and if anybody here makes a big enough mark between now and the end of the game, you could end up on 50."
"And it lit a fire, because I think there was a feeling that maybe we are just the season before 50, and it changes the back half of the season," he continued. "It's bananas with really unpredictable gameplay, because suddenly, people have something to prove. I want to be on 50, and two players from 49 end up on 50 as a result of that moment."
Probst then went on to call season 50 — which was filmed over the summer — "fantastic" and that it might be the "best season" the show's ever done.

Survivor 50's all-returnee cast — minus the two season 49 players — was first revealed during the May 28th episode of CBS Mornings. The cast includes two former winners, eleven players who've made it to the Final Tribal Council, and fan-favorites who've never won like Cirie Fields, Colby Donaldson, and Aubry Bracco.
For the landmark season, titled Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans, fans were able to vote on key elements of the game, including on whether there will be idols, whether fire making will remain, and whether the live finale and reunion show will return in Los Angeles. As always, the contestants will compete for a $1 million cash prize.
