Say Allison Grodner approaches you and tells you that the cast will be assembled based on who you'd pick out of people from seasons 38 and 39, based on placement.
20th/19th - Ronnie Bardah or Molly Byman?
18th - Reem Daly or Vince Moua?
17th - Keith Sowell or Chelsea Walker?
16th - Aubry Bracco or Tom Laidlaw?
15th - Wendy Diaz or Jason Linden?
14th - Joe Anglim or Jack Nichting?
13th - Eric Hafemann or Kellee Kim?
12th - Julia Carter or Jamal Shipman?
11th - David Wright or Aaron Meredith?
10th - Kelley Wentworth or Missy Byrd?
9th - Dan "The Wardog" DaSilva or Elizabeth Beisel?
8th - Ron Clark or Karishma Patel?
7th - Aurora McCreary or Elaine Stott?
6th - Victoria Baamonde or Dan Spilo?
5th - Lauren O'Connell or Janet Carbin?
4th - Rick Devens or Lauren Beck?
3rd - Julie Rosenberg or Noura Salman?
2nd - Gavin Whitson or Dean Kowalski?
1st - Chris Underwood or Tommy Sheehan?
I'm probably picking Chris, Dean, Noura, Devens, Janet, Victoria, Elaine, Karishma, Wardog, Wentworth, David, Jamal, Kellee, Joe, Wendy, Aubry, Keith, Reem, and Ronnie. Picked those for maximum entertainment, not necessarily who I loved the most. 11 people from EoE and 8 from IoI.

14th: Jack Nichting
