Ranking The Cast Of Survivor 50 By How Much I'm Looking Forward To Seeing Them Play Again
Call it recency bias, but I just don't know that we need THREE Survivor 48 players on the beach for a Legends season.
Jonathan Young (Survivor 42)
I would've picked at least 10 other players from Survivor 41 through 44 in place of Jonathan. Apparently he came in fourth? I remember zero percent of that. All I ask is that they put him on Cirie's tribe so that she can survive a few tribal councils (Muscle Strength).
Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick (Palau, Guatemala, Heroes vs. Villains)
I am excited to see the Queen of Palau back simply because she hasn't been on Survivor in over 15 years. I am not excited to have her back because I think she is boring TV and her Survivor journey hit its high in her debut season.
Aubry Bracco (Kaoh Rong, Game Changers, Edge of Extinction)
Listen, Aubry was phenomenal TV in Kaoh Rong and Game Changers, but she seemed burnt out by Edge of Extinction. Do we really need to see her play for a fourth time? I don't know!
Ozzy Lusth (Cook Islands, Micronesia, South Pacific, Game Changers)
Same as Aubry -- Ozzy was great for what he was, but with every subsequent appearance, I find myself more bored by his gameplay. Fifth time's the charm?
Dee Valladares (Survivor 45)
Dee was a great winner, but I think it's too soon to see her play again. Plus, I have a feeling she is going to be a target on day one if any of the others castaways know what's good for them.
Tiffany Ervin (Survivor 46)
Tiff is hilarious, and I am genuinely so thrilled we get to see her and Q on our screens again. That being said, I'm not sure we needed three returnees from Survivor 46 when 41, 43, and 44 got no representation.
Angelina Keeley (David vs. Goliath)
Please for the love of all things good bring your own jacket this time, Queen.
Genevieve Mushaluk (Survivor 47)
When I first saw her picture I thought we were getting THE Amanda Kimmel back and was way too excited. Genevieve brings similar energy though so I'll allow it.
Charlie Davis (Survivor 46)
As someone who loved both Charlie and Kenzie as finalists on Survivor 46, I'm so excited for him to get his second chance. Just bummed he was already on the island when Tay announced she bought her Master's :(
Chrissy Hofbeck (Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers)
Chrissy should've been on Winners at War. Yes, I know she didn't win her season. It's just been a long time coming.
Cirie Fields (Panama, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains, Game Changers)
I love Cirie. I will never not love Cirie. But 5 times???? FIVE? Because it's Cirie, I'll allow it, but I don't know how she survives longer than a few days.
Colby Donaldson (The Australian Outback, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains)
I'm ranking Colby so low simply because it feels unjust that he will be on a season without Jerri Manthey. It hurts my heart. Their Survivor stories should always align. Regardless, I'm thrilled we get to see Donaldson again, and that he has a chance to redeem himself for whatever the heck was happening last time he played ("Dammit, Reid!").
Rick Devens (Edge of Extinction)
Devens was the best part of Edge of Extinction. I am genuinely so excited and terrified to see what he does this time around.
Emily Flippen (Survivor 45)
Self aware queen. I cannot wait to see her interact with the likes of Coach and Q.
Christian Hubicki (David vs. Goliath)
Devastated he's playing without Gabby ("Like, in the sand?") but psyched that he's going to be back on my television screen.
Mike White (David vs. Goliath)
I think pre-The White Lotus I wouldn't have been as stoked for his return, but he was honestly incredible TV. And imagine the kinds of cameos we're going to get on future TWL seasons now. Q? Coach? Colby? He could single-handedly restart Colby Donaldson's acting career!
Quintavius "Q" Burdette (Survivor 46)
This man gave me anxiety every single week he was on Survivor 46 and I loved him for it. He is pure chaos. He is going to get eaten alive by some of these legends. I am seated.
Jenna Lewis (Borneo, All-Stars)
Jenna hasn't played the game in 21 (TWENTY-ONE) years, but if you rewatch her appearance on All-Stars, you'll remember how savvy and sneaky she was. She was literally the only one who knew what Rob and Amber were capable of. I think these New Era players should be terrified of her, and I am just crossing my fingers she makes it far.
Benjamin "Coach" Wade (Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains, South Pacific)
Need I say more? Last time he was out on the island, he led a cult. The time before, he formed the greatest band ever made. Before that, he was the biggest martyr Survivor had ever seen. Any season with Coach is bound to be entertaining, and I'd pay good money to see him interact with every single person on this list.

Singing surgeon's Cork family home in rude good health
A MEDICAL career that moved around Ireland and the UK ended up with a return to Cork and a medic's local reputation as the Singing Surgeon as only part of the story of 1 The Grove. 1 The Grove The substantial detached family home was bought brand new back around 2004 by Dick (Richard) and Sheila Creedon after they returned from Manchester. Having started a family of three youngsters, they flitted from Drogheda and London also: sons Oliver and Richard and daughter Sinéad only slowly warmed to the notion of rural life back in Ireland, first in Innishannon and then here, closer to Cork City at Crossbarry. The couple met when Inchigeela native and orthopaedic surgeon Dick Creedon met Navan woman Sheila (nee Roberts), a nurse, back in the 1990s. Their careers followed medical postings that eventually saw the Bon Secours (and, later the Mater Private) lure them home. Homecoming A love of sport helped their children settle in and make new friends after uprooting from Manchester, and sport also rears its head in that No 1 The Grove was built by the highly regarded local builder Fachtna Crowley, father of Munster and Ireland professional rugby player Jack Crowley. On the ball No 1 is in the front row of six houses in The Grove, home to a mix of families of several ages and it was a perfect place to grow up, with rural freedoms, yet local conveniences and easy proximity to the city, says son Oliver. The blues He and brother Richard trained as engineers, sister Sinéad is a writer and works in publishing (she co-produces the literary and creative writing magazine Sonder). Oliver admits that it was their father Dick who got the reputation as a bit of a rocker, singing and performing in bars including regular gigs at local Barrett's Bar in nearby Killeady, playing a mix from Neil Young to country and the likes of Glen Campbell and John Denver. Case notes The Singing Surgeon's many, many guitars, amps and the odd banjo still adorn rooms at No 1, now for sale after the passing of the Inchigeela-born man in 2017, predeceased by his wife Sheila in 2013. Tasked with the sale is estate agent Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald, listing it at €695,000 and expecting interest from trade-up and relocating families. It's spacious, with four first floor bedrooms of which two are en suite with walk-in robes, and there's a second floor with two more rooms, one used as a home office up to now with adjoining bathroom. Ms Healy there's scope for two more bedrooms here, subject to planning. At ground level is a good floorplan, with reception rooms left and right of a central hallway, each with bay windows (finished externally in brick), with a wider kitchen/dining room behind, linking to a sun room, also has a utility and guest WC. There's also a large attached garage, and an overall good mature site with rear patio by the sunroom, and there's a C1 BER. Just in need of a décor update and possible change of wall colours now, No 1 The Grove's within a two minute walk of the local Crossbarry shop and filling station, with easy access to the N70 West Cork route as well as to Halfway, Killumney, Waterfall and Wilton/Bishopstown. VERDICT: Family home of 'the Singing Sawbones' has good bones itself.

Ferrari Just Won Back the Rights to ‘Testarossa' After a 7-Year Legal Battle
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Ferrari came dangerously close to losing the rights to one of its most iconic names. But now, the courts have ruled in its favor. After several years of legal wrangling with a German toy company, the legendary badge remains in Maranello's hands. While Ferrari's business model may rub some enthusiasts the wrong way, it's hard not to be glad they won this round. The Battle Over the Testarossa Name Source: Bring a Trailer In Italian, Testarossa translates to 'red head'. In the autosphere, Testarossa is synonymous with Ferrari, referring to one of their most beautiful creations ever. The long, wide, side-straked wedge from the 1980s. Some argue it's even prettier than the new Ferrari Amalfi. But since 2017, Ferrari no longer holds the rights to the name. That's because Autec AG, a toy company based in Germany, applied to register 'Testarossa' for its own products. The company argued that Ferrari hadn't used the Testarossa name in a 'general use' for over five years, which could result in cancellation under EU law. Ferrari fought back, but in 2023, the Fifth Board of Appeal of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) upheld the original decision. The board found that selling replacement parts and accessories wasn't enough to qualify as 'general use' of the trademark. How Ferrari Turned the Case Around Source: Bring a Trailer Fortunately, the story didn't end there. On July 2, 2024, seven years after the original case, the EU General Court overruled the earlier decisions. Because pre-owned Testarossas are sold through Ferrari's official resale network, Maranello may retain the original trademark, stating that 'when reselling second-hand goods, such use is capable of constituting 'genuine use' of that mark within the meaning.' In the court's eyes, this was more than enough to prove the name hadn't been abandoned, even though the last new model to carry it rolled out of Maranello in 1991. A Win for Heritage and Trademarks Source: Bring a Trailer The decision marks a win not just for Ferrari, but for other automakers who continue to support their vintage models without putting the nameplates back into production. And if Ferrari ever decides to bring back the Testarossa name, it'll be doing so with the full weight of its heritage, and now, with the legal rights to match.

Surrey might issue violation notice for construction of secondary suites without permits
A Surrey home might have a notice slapped on it by the city after its owners were ticketed seven times for unpermitted construction of two secondary units and a rooftop deck. The house in the 9700-block of Townline Diversion in northwest Surrey was visited by bylaw enforcement officers and building inspectors on multiple occasions starting late last year after construction began in the rear of the property without any building applications or permits. At a special hearing on Monday, inspectors for the City of Surrey will recommend that councillors approve a notice with the Land Title Office to let the public — including any potential buyers — know the work was done in violation of provincial building rules.

The owners will have a chance to speak at the hearing. The notice, called a Section 57, 'alerts anyone searching a title to a property, such as prospective purchasers, that a property may contravene bylaws or regulations relating to building safety.' While it doesn't give details of the contraventions, the notice would indicate that more information can be found at city hall. It can only be repealed if the building inspector confirms the problems have been fixed, or if the owners are granted a cancellation of the notice by city council. If neither of those things happen, they would have to apply to the Supreme Court of B.C. to have it cancelled. The current owners bought the home, originally constructed in the late 1950s, in 2016. A bylaw officer visited the property in November 2024 and saw construction on the property that included two dwelling units, a rooftop deck and two awnings. The city had not issued any building permits for the work. In the months that followed that first visit, inspectors went to the property several times and issued orders to stop work, and telling the owners to apply to demolish the new construction and get the necessary permits. During inspections, workers were spotted on several occasions, and city staffers took copious photos as evidence that the work was continuing. At one point, the owners sent a letter to the city saying a survey had been done and an application for a secondary suite had been sent. An engineer also contacted the city to say he'd been retained and was developing a plan and application. Six months after the original stop-work order, the homeowners applied for a construction permit. But the city's manager of permits rejected the application over safety and building code concerns, and because adding more than one secondary suite was non-compliant with zoning for the property. In all, the city issued seven bylaw contravention notices; the owners paid $2,000 in fines but disputed three of the tickets, which have not been adjudicated. They also paid $1,140 for five visits to the site by inspectors and bylaw officers. The notice with the title office is being considered as a last resort because the owners continued the work, and there is evidence that the units are occupied in spite of the violations and sanctions. 'At this time, staff do not see a realistic path for the owners to obtain a building permit to retain the unpermitted works,' read the report. It said 'the construction has progressed to a point where many essential elements are now obscured, preventing the necessary inspections by the city to confirm safety and compliance with the building bylaw and B.C. Building Code . jruttle@
