Survivor this year is bringing back 2 former contestants, but it has not yet been revealed who they are. The theme is “redemption” this year, so I assume they are going to bring back contestants they think need a chance to redeem themselves.
Who would you like to see again from past years? Last time, they brought back Bobby Jo and Stephannie.
I’d like to see:
Someone who got evacuated for a legitimate injury, like Russell(not Hantz) from over a year ago. He seemed decent and had bad luck that he got dehydrated or whatever. Someone else, like that guy with the compacted bowel would be good. Not James, though. He doesn’t deserve it.
Anyone the rules screwed over, like those people that got sent home before the game fully began a few years ago. I doubt they’ll use them, but that was lame.
This isn’t exactly what the OP is asking, but I’d like to see a variation of All-Stars with past contestants who were eliminated first (or second if not enough firsts available). Sort of a losers’ bracket.
I like the idea of bringing back medical evacuees. Mike, the guy who fell into the fire in Australia, would be a good choice then.
I also think it would be fun to do a season comprised entirely of people who were the first ones voted out. I always feel kind of bad for them. (On preview I see Doug K. beat me to this suggestion, so I’ll second it.)
silenus, however, has the best plan. We just need to agree on the 16 or 18 hottest Survivor babes. I’ll start by nominating Brenda from last season and Candace from Tocantins.
what I’ve heard is it is indeed Boston Rob and Russel Hantz and not only that but they will be each the leaders of the 2 tribes and here’s the real dumb part:** they will have immunity till the merge. **
Survivor has *jumped the shark *indeed if all the spoilers and predictions are true. They are guaranteeing themselves to have BR and RH in the game till the merge, manufacturing ratings. Absolutely rediculous IMO.
I love (watching) Russell, and I love (watching) Rob. But it’s too soon to bring either of them back, especially with something as lame as that forced immunity. BLEH.
Almost anything will be better than this past season, but please not that!
If that turns out to be true, they’ve lost me as a viewer. This past season was bad enough and yet I stuck through it. Any crap like that and I’m gone. I don’t need to see those famewhores for one more minute.
Rumors are now saying(just rumors, folk) that Rob and Russell each mentor a player and they win a sizable amount of money if that player wins. No idea if they are actual contestants or not, though.
They’re tinkering with the formula too much; just leave it alone. I haven’t watched the show in a few years because they kept adding levels of complexity, immunity opportunities, and creature comforts. The fun of the show was always watching a group of disparate personalities deal with a simple game and the group dynamics involved. I think next season they should announce “Survivor Classic,” and go back to Season 1 rules.
But, now that I think about it, the idea of Russell and Boston Rob “coaching” a couple of teams is kind of intriguing. Damn it! Maybe I’ll have to watch it after all.
I want to see the crazy lady again.
