Oh No! Rizo Velovic Just Revealed His Next Reality Show Target — and the Name on His Wish List May Surprise Fans
The Survivor 49 and Survivor 50 finalist is already looking beyond the island, and his next move could put him back on TV in a very different kind of showdown.

After making a remarkable run on Survivor 49, Rizo Velovic apparently decided one season on the island was not enough. In a bold move, he boarded a plane to Fiji again less than two weeks later for Survivor 50, where the self-proclaimed “man, the myth, the legend…R-I-Z-G-O-D” found himself facing off against some of the franchise’s biggest names.
But if you thought two back-to-back seasons would be enough to satisfy him, think again. In a new exclusive interview with People, Rizo opened up about the next reality show he would love to take on, saying Survivor gave him “opportunities that my life didn’t have before.”

And the twist? He is not planning to do it alone. Rizo says he would love to compete alongside his girlfriend, Elizabeth Doqaj, whom he calls his “true ride or die.” According to him, she has been one of his biggest sources of support both while he was away filming and while they watched his 26-week journey unfold on television.

“I love social strategy games,” Rizo explained back in June. “Survivor kind of has my loyalty and my heart, but I would love to do The Amazing Race with my girlfriend.” He even pointed to the long history of Survivor couples who have crossed over to the show, making the idea of Rizo and “LizGod” racing around the world feel entirely possible.
That said, The Amazing Race is not the only series on his radar. Rizo also said he would be open to The Traitors, adding that he thinks he would do well there. He even mentioned Big Brother, though with one major condition: the game would need to be shorter, because 90 days, in his words, is simply “a little too much for the RizGod.”
He did not stop there. Rizo made it clear that his Survivor mindset has always leaned heavily into social strategy, which is exactly why he believes he could thrive on The Traitors. “You saw it on Survivor 50,” he said, “I’m like, ‘I’m not here to play camp. I’m here to cut some throats and win some money.’” That confidence may not be surprising, especially considering one of his close allies on Survivor 50, Cirie Fields, was a Traitor on the show’s very first season and later won it all.

During his time on Survivor, Rizo also built a surprisingly large circle of strategic allies, and that network could be his secret weapon if he ever lands on another competition show. He joked that the friendships he formed left him with plenty of people who know how to deceive, persuade, and outmaneuver opponents at the right moment.
“I’d say my closest friends from Survivor 49 are Savannah Louie, the winner, and Sophie Balerdi,” he shared. He then listed several Survivor 50 names he remains close with, including Cirie, Dee Valladares, Aubry Bracco, Rick Devens, Tiff Ervin, Colby Donaldson, Q Burdette, Genevieve Mushaluk, Kyle Fraser, and Kamilla Karthigesu. In his own words, the experience gave him “a big family.”
And if that family keeps moving from one reality franchise to another, Rizo could be next in line to follow. Given how many Survivor players have already landed on other shows, it would not be shocking if he receives a casting call soon and shows up on screens again sooner rather than later.
