Congratulations are in order to the players who made it through a grueling multi-year casting process to be selected to appear on *Survivor 50*, which premieres Feb. 25. Of course, that is only half the casting battle. The next half is parlaying that CBS appearance into an HBO one.

*Survivor 50* contestant and Hollywood hotshot Mike White has made a habit of granting guest-starring spots to reality TV cast mates over the years. He first brought some of his *Amazing Race* cast mates over to his criminally under-appreciated gem *Enlightened,* and has more recently put several of his *Survivor: David vs. Goliath* cast mates on a little cultural juggernaut by the name of *The White Lotus*.

Who from the *Survivor 50* cast will land a coveted *White Lotus* cameo? Before filming on *Survivor 50* began, we had each of the players pitch their character on camera. Which one would you like to see on season 4 of *The White Lotus?* Check out the full batch of video pitches below!
