Jeff Probst said in an interview that Survivor 49 features two of their alternates. It's pretty rare for an alternate to make the actual season. Often in the new era, they're cast on a future season. However, due to some kind of rules violation, two players were sent home, and the two alternates were put in 12 hours before filming. Those players are Jason and MC.

This cast also features two alternates from previous seasons - Sage and Sophie.

The On Fire podcast is not keeping with the tradition of having a player from the previous season on it. Instead, they're bringing in Jeremy Collins for season 49.

I really like this. No offense to the new era players, but I feel like we hear from them a lot since they're so fresh. I like to hear from older seasons, since we haven't heard from them in a while.
