Survivor’s Emily Flippen & Q Burdette React to Season 50’s Controversial Celeb Cameos
Emily Flippen has no qualms with her celebrity alliances.
In fact, the Survivor season 50 contestant—who previously placed seventh on season 45—thought the celebrity cameos from the likes of Billie Eilish, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, and Zac Brown added a fun twist to the long-running series
“It’s made the show more dynamic, more interesting,” Emily exclusively told E! News at the live Survivor 50 finale May 20. “When you’re out there on the island, obviously you’re excited just because the show means so much to the players who are out there.”
And for the 31-year-old, it was nice to know that the show meant so much to celebrities, too, as well as all the fans and viewers at home.
“Watching it back, I think it adds a level of dynamicism,” she added, “that you don’t otherwise get.”
But while Emily was fully on board, fellow contestant Q Burdette was slightly more confused by the cameos, especially as he was not familiar with one of the stars.
