Mail host

The **mail host** is a unique role typically taken by one person during a season of Survivor RP, though their responsibilities may also be assumed by the normal hosts. Because spectators are allowed to send letters to active players in a season, so long as those messages do not contain any sensitive information, the mail host is in charge of delivering the letters to the players in their confessionals, usually in the RP style of their chosen character. The mail host role is often one not planned in advance, and is frequently given to a spectator who wants to become more involved with the season or an applicant who was cut from it.

## Trivia

* No season had a dedicated mail host from *Galápagos* to *Appalachia*, and letters were delivered by the normal hosts of the season. Only two seasons since (*Peru* and *Egypt*) have replicated this; all other seasons since *Cranberry Isles* have had a mailman.
* During the first two seasons, *The Everglades* and *Romania*, letters only appeared in the form of "letters from home," offered as a reward at the Survivor Auction. Since *Moon Islands*, spectator letter writing has been standard practice.
* Jo and Guzma are the only two people who have served as the mail host more than once.
	+ Jo played Iroe Genma as the mail host two out of the three seasons he delivered mail.
	+ Guzma is the only person to be the mail host in back-to-back seasons.
* Lenny is the only person to serve as the mail host while having never played a season (though he has played *Big Brother* thrice).
* Squid, during *Gorgona*, was the first person to be elevated to the normal host role from being a mail host. He was briefly followed by Tricky, during *Tiwi Islands*.
