It is...almost time to vote for New Yorkers. But that didn't stop a number of Survivor alumni casting their unanimous votes against Andrew Cuomo in a new political ad for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
"Andrew, New Yorkers want a Mayor who will make groceries and childcare affordable, not sell us out to their billionaire donors," says Season 47's final juror Teeny Chirichillo. A total of eight former players cast their votes, among them winners Natalie Anderson and Yam Yam Arocho. They were joined by Josh Canfield (Season 29), Jacob Derwin (Season 36), Maddy Pomilla (Season 44), Katurah Topps (Season 45), Brandon Donlon (Season 35) and Stephanie Berger (Season 38).

Mamdani appeared in person at the end of the ad, a torch snuffer in hand. "We're gonna build a city where no one has to struggle to survive," he said. Canfield appeared as a subsequent tag, quipping, "Didn’t we already vote you out?"
A spokesperson from CBS tells Parade, "Federal law required our New York station WCBS-TV to run this candidate ad despite there not being any relationship to either Survivor or WCBS-TV.” CBS and the producers of Survivor were not consulted about the ad’s Survivor-themed concept, including appearances by former show contestants.

Additionally, a disclaimer ran in the television airing on the ad, affirming, "“The Following Message Is Not Associated with Either Survivor or CBS." This was intended to avoid both brand confusion and a suggestion that the show was endorsing any particular political candidate.
Since his surprise win in the NYC mayoral Democratic primary earlier this year, Mamdani has gone viral for his various unique marketing techniques. He's even traipsed into the world of reality TV before. During the recent premiere of The Golden Bachelor – which also airs Wednesday nights – an ad ran featuring Mamdani asking, "New York, will you accept this rose?"
After his brief stint at Tribal Council, Mamdani's next stop will be the debate stage, where he'll talk with Cuomo, who is running as an Independent, as well as Republican Curtis Sliwa. The conversation will air live on Thursday, Oct. 16 ahead of Election Day on Nov. 4.
