Assuming it is a 20 person cast and that the people provided by Redmond are the only people shortlisted (which will obviously not be the case
NOTE: In the end I chose 11 guys and girls because I'm too indecisive
Girls
- Andrea - I love her and I just feel she has the capability of being a strong strategic and physical threat
- Carolyn - I actually loved Momma C and it was unfortunate she grouped with assholes. I'd like to see her play with more strategic minded people
- Chelsea - I do quite like Chelsea. I think after playing with someone like Kim we can definitely safely assume that she won't play a for runner-up again
- Cirie - I definitely think that she needs to redeem herself after HvV. Even though she was idoled out, I do think she is deserving of at least a ftc
- Danni - She is a really underrated winner imo and I think she has it in her to do it again
- Debbie - Even though her season isn't over yet, she is already has me in love and she must return
- Hali - OMG MY QUEEN!!!!! I was devestated when her and Joe where given the boot back to back and she just needs a chance to proove herself as a strategic power house
- Natalie A - I want to see her play again. I mean who wouldn't. She is one of the best ever winners
- Natalie B - It will be interesting to see how she plays without the Black Widow Brigade
- Sarah - She played such a good game until the merge ep and she is worthy of a shot at redemption
- Sophie - Same as Danni
DONT WANT TO RETURN
- Alexis - Again, I really do like Alexis but compared to the rest of the field she doesn't cut it for me. She was a lovely girl and I do think she was dealt a bad hand but the same can be said for many people and I can't see her coming back and competing amongst this field. (I hope to be proved wrong)
- Monica - I do like her don't get it twisted, but she was lucky enough to get a 2nd chance despite her sub-par performance in OW. She made the most of that chance and came 2nd, but I don't think she did enough to warrant coming back for a 3rd time especially so soon
- Sandra - Sandra is a survivor legend and she can NOT afford to ruin her legacy. I will cry if she comes back and doesn't win.
Guys
- Caleb - Obviously deserves a second chance after the circumstances of his elimination
- Earl - Great winner, poor season. I'd like to see how he goes at it with better players
- JT - Who wouldn't want to see JT back
- John - I honestly believe he deserves a second chance. he played strong until his blindside
- Jon - Very dominant player until his blindside like Jon. He did last a lot longer however and I think it'd be interesting to see him and Natalie A on the beach together again
- Malcolm - Malcolm could player every season for all I care. (Him and Joe haha)
- Marty - Marty honestly was one of the greatest characters survivor had in their season 21-24 slump and definitely needs to return
- Mike - I don't know how to feel about Mike as a winner. He did rely on 5 immunity wins and a Hidden Immunity Idol so how good of a player he really is is debatable. I think it would be interesting to see him play again
- Ozzy - For the most part he has been pretty consistent across all 3 seasons he has been on. He really is a survivor icon and I would love to see him play again
- Troyzan - I probably hated Troyzan when watching OW but looking back on it he was a hilarious character that brought drama wherever he went. He needs to come back
- Tony - He won't be able to play the same game twice so I think it will be interesting if he will be able to turn around pre conceived notions of time.
DONT WANT TO RETURN
- LJ - he is just disgusting honestly. Didn't like him at all.
- Peter - I don't understand why he would even be considered as a possible returnee
- Tai - I don't get the hype around him. I honestly find him irritating and incredibly stupid when it comes to the game. He is a very nice person though.
OTHER PEOPLE I WANT TO RETURN
- Anyone from Gabon/Tocantins. Both those seasons in my opinon are two of the best yet they are so under represented in terms of returnees. Crystal, Susie, Kenny, Bob, Matty, Ace, Marcus even Dan. Joe, Brendan, Sierra, Taj, Erinn possibly even Debbie. There are so many people I'd love to see again!
- More premerge boots. Alecia, Jennifer, Anna, J'Tia, Angie, Matt Quinlan, Katie Hanson. There are honestly so many premerge boots that should have been given a second chance on the "Second Chance season" that weren't
i want to neg really bad because you put tai on the 'don't want to return' list but i won't because that's an opinion, but i just wanted to let you know that your opinion is incorrect
