[QUOTE=salt&vinegar;247206]I agree with everything you said. I want them to take it back to the final 2 with 4 people in the finale. I'm sure they won't, but a guy can dream, no?[/QUOTE]
I've been hoping for that for along while. I think the last time they did it was Micronesia. I just want a 7 member jury as well.

This is another interesting article, where JFP mentions going out to film "All Stars 2" sometime this summer. Not sure how reliable it is, just throwing it out there.

Hmmm, some things are coming together with regard to those Survivor favorites "unavailable" to come to Vegas in Sept for Bash 2011.
I'm so annoyed that Redemption Island is back. In my opinion, it was a huge, massive failure. It disrupted the whole pacing of the show, and totally ruins the finality of Tribal Council. survivorFAIL.
I've been wondering for years if they were going to do a Redemption Island sort of thing and was glad to see that they were doing it. A lot of the time, my favorites get voted out and by doing Redemption that gives them a chance to get back in. I didn't like Redemption as much as I thought I would and only liked it because Matt was my favorite. I only wanted him to win. I do agree that It went on too long but am only happy it did because it gave us less time of the super annoying Phillip and his saggy pink undies, and more of the likable Matt.
I didn't like when more than 2 people competed at a time. It became WAY too much. I am SO not looking forward to the same exact thing RIGHT after we just saw it and didn't care much for it. I think Survivor's should only be able to be on it 2 times, as much as I may like some of them, it's nice to see new faces. I looked at the preview for South Pacific and was pretty sure that I saw Elisabeth from Australian Outback at 0:12/0:13. I could be wrong though. Does anyone recognize anyone besides Erik? I saw that some of you saw Matt. Do you know when in the video?
I really hope that this time around Redemption isn't a waste, and brings us some joy, as well as more likable heroes, instead of villains that have been on 3+ times. Possibly a female? As for Fabio being brought back, they have brought back winners before, Richard, Parvati, Sandra, etc. And for Matt, as much as I would love to see him back, I don't think think that they would bring him back the season after his first, especially because he was the one who spent the most time on Redemption, why put him through the same thing? I think they will bring him back later, if he wants to come back.
I just hope that this season works out. And when it's over, that they will have a normal Survivor season with non-annoying Phillip/Naonka like people with a smaller jury and 2 people in the end instead of 3. One good thing is that we won't be tortured by seeing Phillip for a while (I swear just thinking about that man gives me a migraine!) and won't have to see Rob ever again!!! :D
I think it's pretty obvious that the returning players are both female and they're Sonja from Survivor: Borneo and Linda from Survivor Africa. Both extremely memorable and exciting characters.
The fourth picture looks like Matt to me. I feel like it would be easy to figure out if it's Elisabeth or not if we knew exactly when filming was, since she's on The View right?

That is definitely Elisabeth, but she wont be back. She said it numerous times. They wanted her for All Stars and subsequent Survivors.

It might be Matt, but I always remember his hair flowing under his buff. That person clearly has short hair.
In all honesty, I think that an overwhelming majority of the people are nothing more than Dream Teamers.
I'm really hoping it's not James or Ozzy. I had that thought pop into my head last night. Both have come close to winning before and both are quite lovable, but I just wouldn't be able to handle the two of them back. Especially after James has been injured the past few times. If getting injured every time on Survivor is not a major sign that you shouldn't be doing this, then I don't know what is.
The one at :22, I'm not so sure it's Erik. It looks more like Ian from Palau to me. And the fourth one is definitely Matt from RI, this picture is almost the same (his hair was tied up):

I truly don't think any of the people shown would be on it, except Erik.
I have a gut feeling we may be seeing Amanda...again.
[QUOTE=molds13;247258]I would pay money to see Mike Skupin back in the game.[/QUOTE]
He's definitely one of those true second chancers I would like to see where an injury may have (in his case it definitely did) contribute to their demise. Others on my short list include: Jeff from Palau and Amy from Guatemala.
I'm still stuck on the promo. The second one almost looks more like Andrea from RI than Elisabeth to me. The water one looks like Ozzy(shorter hair version) or Boston Rob even. And the last one just has me completely stumped.
Also: matched creepy eye picture to Candace from Tocantins.

From the shots I have seen of Ian, he has dark eyes.
Either way, I have a very short list of people that I personally think would deserve another shot in this game. I do not think that Ozzy, James, or Erik need another chance. James and Erik were voted out because of their stupidity; Ozzy was caught in one of the best blindsides in Survivor history but made it to the finals his first season.
I completely agree on those three. Unfortunately, Ozzy would likely bring in ratings and I hate to say it but I think Erik would also. I want someone to come back who can play with the people and not just be a target for them.
I must say that I flipped out when they brought back Stephenie and Bobby Jon for Guatemala though, I loved the Ulong tribe.
And kudos to finding Candace. I missed Tocantins completely so I had no shot with her. Was she that memorable despite being a second out?

Not at all.
I added a few more: noticed Parvati, Candice, and Natalie (Samoa) in the promo as well. So it looks like we can't really look at this promo as a clue...no way they would bring back two winners for another shot at "redemption"...what do they have to redeem?
Yeah, especially since this would be someone's (Parv's) fourth shot (even though they did it for Rob).
I guess we might need to wait for Russell to spoil it.
The only guess I could make is that the two people coming back have something in common. It wouldn't make sense to bring back two people who have no connection. I could also guess that the two people will be "memorable" from their previous season(s).
They could do Matt/Andrea, the only two people to come back from RI last season.
They could do Mike Skupin/Penner/James/Bruce (Fiji)/Russell S (Samoa), people who were medically removed from the game.
They could do Lex/Rob C/Cirie/Ozzy/Erik (Samoa)/Amanda/Alexis (Micronesia)/James/Erik/Ian, people who got "screwed", blindsided or voted out because of their sheer stupidity.
They could bring back "physical" people or go the "strategist" route.
Or they could bring back Coach/Phillip/JFP/Russell/Shane/NaOnka, people who can bring the crazy.
There are a number of possibilities. There are also a number of impossibilities:

[QUOTE=fabulous788;247267]Heaven forbid if they bring Amanda back on my television. I will not watch if she's on it.[/QUOTE]
It would pain me very much to watch that.
I could definitely see Coach/Phillip or Andrea/Matt. Andrea/Matt would be interesting, especially since JP talked up their "relationship" at the reunion so much.

I agree that Coach/Phillip or Matt/Andrea would be the most likely. It seems weird to me that there doing the same format. I would imagine that the returnees are going to have a tough time. I don't think there's many survivors that could come in like Boston Rob did and become such a leader.
I also think it's funny that many former survivors are posting about how it was all setup for Rob to win. I bet none of them would have been able to control Ometepe as well as he was able to.
I dont think Andrea was all that memorable just kinda stupid, Matt I could see comming back, and the only reason Rob was back was for the rob vs Russell thing,
And Rob did an awesome job I thought they would vote him out immediately, he controlled his alliances so well, like "the buddy system" was a really good idea, people can never flip if they dont talk to others.
And I'm soo hoping its Russel but thats probly not gonna happen cuz they already filmed the next season, and Jeff made it seem like he was asking do you want to do another in the future so he cant be on the next one

As far as I know, they have not filmed next season yet.

Survivor normally films their fall season mid-June to mid-July and then the spring season mid-August to mid-September.

Matt cut his hair, remember?
[QUOTE=mattlover;247278]Matt cut his hair, remember?[/QUOTE]
They haven't filmed yet, so he would still have longer hair because they are using photos from the seasons they were originally on.
