With all the Toyota sponsorship surrounding Survivor 50, and Boston Rob Mariano posting ads on social media with the car company, it appears as if the car giveaway may indeed return on the anniversary installment. That would make for the first Survivor car reward in 36 seasons, since Yau-Man Chan and Dreamz Herd made their infamous deal in Survivor: Fiji — the last instance of the infamous Survivor car curse.
But might we also see the return of another long-gone Survivor classic — the Loved Ones visit? Our last Loved Ones visit occurred back on season 40, Winners at War, and it was a supersized affair, with entire families showing up. And not just for players still in the game, but for ones stuck on the Edge of Extinction as well.
But to paraphrase yacht rock aficionados Air Supply, the new era of Survivor has been all out of love. In-person visits have been replaced with letters from home. But if the Loved Ones ever were to return in some form, it would seem that the anniversary installment of season 50 would be the time to do it.

Which begs the question: Do the Loved Ones visits actually make you cry? When Jeremy Collins' wife Val showed up and told him their unborn child was a boy, did that make you weep? When Shane Powers was reunited with his 12-year-old son Boston, did you feel a single tear gently rolling down your cheek? When Taj George gazed upon her husband Eddie, did you find yourself reaching for the Kleenex?
It's time to come clean. Do Survivor Loved Ones visits make you tear up, or do you find the piano-laced reunions to be insufferably treacly and over-the-top? Put down the box of Puffs and weigh in below, as we see just how heartless Survivor nation truly is!
