Ozzy Lusth is not optimistic that he will be in “The White Lotus” Season 4 after he didn’t follow Mike White’s advice on “Survivor 50.”
“He does blame me a little bit for not listening to him and voting Emily [Flippen] out,” Lusth exclusively told Page Six after he was brutally blindsided on Wednesday’s episode.
“One of my worst and biggest regrets in this entire game was not going with him and voting Emily out,” the 44-year-old continued. “It would have changed the course of the game and maybe would have secured my spot.”
The five-time “Survivor” player said his mistake in the game probably cost him a cameo on next “White Lotus,” which is set in France.
“I think the chances of me getting on ‘White Lotus’ are pretty small, and honestly, it was not even that big of a deal,” Lusth said.
“I would love to be on it because I think it would be fun,” he added. “And Mike White is a f–king genius and I just love his work.”
But Lusth said “having a friendship” with White, 55, matters more than being on his Emmy-winning show.
Every season of “The White Lotus” has featured cameos from “Survivor” players.
Alec Merlino was in Season 1, Angelina Keeley and Kara Kay appeared in Season 2, and Christian Hubicki, Carl Boudreaux and Natalie Cole all made cameos in Season 3.
During one of his “Survivor 50” exit interviews in March, White said he disagreed with Hubicki’s claim that Lusth was “gunning” for a “White Lotus” cameo on the reality show, as he’d said on the show.
“I definitely don’t think Ozzy was doing that,” White told People. “Ozzy and I have been friends for over a decade, even longer than that.”

White also confirmed that more “Survivor” players will be in Season 4.
“Maybe at some point I’ll announce the ‘Survivor’ people, but I have to tell them first before I tell the world,” he said.
“Survivor 50” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. “The White Lotus” Season 4 is expected to premiere in 2027 on HBO.
