Before The White Lotus series creator/writer/director Mike White was living it up at a White Lotus resort, he was trying to outwit, outlast, and outplay his fellow castaways on Season 37 of Survivor.
Mike actually killed it on his season. He made it all the way to the final Tribal Council, but ultimately lost to Nick Wilson, seven votes to three, and none for Angelina Keeley.
White may not have claimed the title of The Sole Survivor, but those 39 days stranded on a beach and hunting for immunity idols left a hugggggeeee impact him.

It’s true! Mike White snuck in some of his friends and tribe-mates as cameos. As a long-time Survivor fan, I screamed and pointed at the TV the first time I spotted a castaway. So without further ado, here’s a list of all the Survivor cameos Mike White has snuck (so far) into The White Lotus.
Don’t worry, I’m not gonna make you play a game of I Spy: Survivor. Let’s get started:
There you have it! I’m crossing my fingers for a Jeff Probst cameo this season. What other Survivor legends and castaways would you want to see pop up a White Lotus resort? Cast your votes in the comments below!
