Carolyn Wiger on doing ‘Survivor’ Season 50 after ‘Traitors’



Carolyn Wiger is a “Survivor” icon — but even she doesn’t know if she’ll appear on Season 50.

The 38-year-old reality star revealed that she’s too preoccupied with her experience on “The Traitors” to even be thinking about returning to Fiji.

“I’m in Scotland still. I’m not reading all the sh-t,” she exclusively told The Post. “I have not even read the full [information]. All I ask as people are sending it to me is, are they putting players on there? And that’s all I’ve gotten to. But that’s cool they’re getting [the fans] involved.”

As Wiger mentioned, the CBS series is letting its fanbase vote on the creative decisions for the upcoming season, which will feature all returning players.

Meaning, twists like idols and the final four fire-making challenge will only be in Season 50 if the fans say so. The voting will occur during the airing of Season 48, which premieres Wednesday night (Feb. 26).

“I don’t know anything about it,” Wiger said about Season 50, filming this summer and airing in early 2026.

“I’m still in Scotland. I still am doing this stuff,” she added. “My brain can’t possibly multitask like that.”

Wiger was a fan-favorite on “Survivor 44,” which aired in 2023. She made it to the final tribal council, but came in third place after receiving zero jury votes.

The Minnesota native just made a deep run on “The Traitors” Season 3. She was eliminated in 8th place after going head-to-head with fellow Traitor and “Big Brother” legend Danielle Reyes.

Wiger outlasted three “Survivor” winners — Jeremy Collins, Tony Vlachos and Rob Mariano — on the Peacock reality series.

While Wiger doesn’t know much about Season 50, host Jeff Probst recently gave an update on the casting process.

“This is what we’re trying to do, because we want to satisfy you. We want a cast that represents all types of players, spanning all the eras,” he said in New York last week. “An array of people who have slept and bled this ever-changing game design for the last 25 years.”

“Because, really, ‘Survivor 50’ is a representation of everyone who has ever played and the fans who’ve been with us for the entire time,” Probst continued. “So that’s what we’re endeavoring to do.”

Michele Fitzgerald, who won Season 32 and came in third place on Season 40, told The Post last year she’s “scared” to go on Season 50 and “ruin her legacy.”

“But how could you say no to any iconic season?” Fitzgerald added.
