Fans reveal that Tyson Apostol was the one who suggested that the castaways get to see their children, not only their significant other. 

“I’m glad Tyson gets to go last, it was his idea,” one fan wrote on Reddit.

Why do fans believe that Edge of Extinction players get to see their families, too?

Many fans are hoping to see the castaways on the Edge of Extinction see their families, too. They believe that since it is an anniversary season with all returning winners, everyone will get to reunite with their loved ones.

Other fans believe that the information was leaked before the season began that the Edge players also get to partake in family visits. The press photos do not give that spoiler away, if it is true.
