Thanks for all the suggestions on what to watch, and thanks for that list. It really helps.

Just finished watching Gabon. I love watching big, early alliances break down and underdogs prevailing. And even though I was rooting for Matty or Sugar to win, I'm content with Bob because of how geniune and fair he was the whole time.

One of the best things about gabon was Bob's amazing fake idol and Randy's face when Jeff said it was fake

I kinda felt bad to be honest. At first I was thrilled he went out like that, but he has grown on me a little recently. 

I'm watching Philippines right now, and **** I can't stand Russell Swan at all. He is incredibly annoying, anything he does and anything he says rubs me the wrong way. How many times does he have to remind us that he has played the game before?

I hated him but I felt bad for him having to face James of all people in survivor sumo

I know he has a lot of fans, but I really can't stand Rupert, at all. The only one worse than him IMO is James (god is he annoying). 

Who would everyone's legends cast consist of? Who would your 2nd chances cast consist of? To me, second chances would only be good if it involved people who have only played once and haven't one:

 

Legends:

10 Men - 

Malcolm Freberg (Philippines), Tom Westman (Palau), Richard Hatch (Borneo), Rob Cesternino (Amazon), Russell Hantz (Samoa), Spencer Bledsoe (Cagayan), Todd Herzog (China), Ethan Zohn (Africa), Troyzan Robertson (One World), Tony Vlachos (Cagayan)

10 Women - 

Sandra Diaz Twine (Pearl Islands), Kim Spradin (One World), Jenna Morasca (Amazon), Andrea Boehlke (Redemption Island), Lisa Whelchel (Philippines), Shambo Waters (Samoa), Kass McQuillen (Cagayan), Stephenie LaGrossa (Palau), Cirie Fields (Panama), Elisabeth Hasselback (Australian Outback)

 

2nd Chance:

16 Men -

Spencer Bledsoe (Cagayan), Brad Culpepper (Blood vs. Water), Vytas Baskaukas (Blood vs. Water), Eddie Fox (Caramoan), Pete Yurkowski (Philippines), Troyzan Robertson (One World), Jim Rice (South Pacific), Matt Elrod (Redemption Island), Mike Chiesl (Redemption Island), Marty Piombo (Nicaragua), Erik Cardona (Samoa), Stephen Fishbach (Tocantins), Dreamz Herd (Fiji), Shane Powers (Panama), Terry Deitz (Panama), Jeff Varner (Australian Outback)

16 Women -

Kass McQuillen (Cagayan), Sarah Lacina (Cagayan), Tasha Fox (Cagayan), Ciera Eastin (Blood vs. Water), Lisa Whelchel (Philippines), RC Saint-Amour (Philippines), Alicia Rosa (One World),  Christina Cha (One World), Christine Shields (South Pacific), Ashley Underwood (Redemption Island), Kristina Kell (Redemption Island), Jane Bright (Nicaragua), Alina Wilson (Nicaragua), Crystal Cox (Gabon), Natalie Bolton (Micronesia), Michelle Yi (Fiji), 

 

 

 

For Survivor: Legends, I think Richard Hatch and Kelly Wiglesworth are absolute requirements. Everyone else is irrelevant because CBS will just give us the same generic returnees we've seen 100 times before...

****! I just feel like legends will be another Boston Rob/Rupert/Ozzy/James/Amanda shtick, been there done that. I want to see Greg and I'd kill for Colleen to return, Big Tom and Lex, Shane and Terry, Christy and Rob C, Eliza and Chris and Twila. Maybe Yul or Todd and Courtney, etc. ****, I wouldn't mind seeing Jerri and Parvati for a 4th time. I guess I just don't want a cast that is too dependent on Micronesia/HvV.

I want to put Bob but he's too old IMO

I think a ton of them are done and I feel as though as the next all returnee season will be heavy on postHvV seasons. I always get mad at how Micro was last minute scrapped into a FvF when it was apparently originally an all returnee cast with Terry, Twila, etc.

Another thing, I am loving these all new casts lately. SJDS had a slow start but it's delivering with people like Baylor, Josh, Jeremy, Natalie, Kelley, Keith, Jon.

My survivor 2nd chance fantasy cast:

Shane Powers (Panama)

Terry Deitz (Panama)

Ian Rosenberger (Palau)

Ken Hoang (Gabon)

Stephen Fishbach (Tocantins)

Troyzan Robertson (One World)

Reynold Toepfer (Caramoan)

Vytas Baskaukas (Blood vs Water)

Hayden Moss (Blood vs Water)

Spencer Bledsoe (Cagayan)

Twila Tanner (Vanuatu)

Michelle Yi (Fiji)

Natalie Bolton (Micronesia)

Crystal Cox (Gabon)

Jame Bright (Nicaragua)

Abi Maria Gomes (Philippines)

Ciera Eastin (Blood vs Water)

Tasha Fox ( Cagayan)

I soooo agree with you on this, the casts for BvW, Cagayan and now SJDS have been amazing.

Philippines was great too. What did you think?

Caramoan unfortunately happened which ruined the 25-29 amazing stretch.

I really want an All-Stars 2 with recent survivors, something like this: 

Hayden (Blood vs. Water)

Troyzan (One World)

Malcolm  (Philippines)

Josh (San Juan del Sur)

Spencer (Cagayan)

Fabio (Nicaragua)

Pete (Philippines)

Reynold (Caramoan)

Vytas (Blood vs. Water)

Wes (San Juan del Sur)

Andrea (Redemption Island)

RC (Philippines)

Ciera (Blood vs. Water)

Natalie (San Juan del Sur)

Abi-Maria (Philippines)

Trish (Cagayan)

Baylor (San Juan del Sur)

Kim (One World)

Brenda (Nicaragua)

Kass (Cagayan)

I won't mind a focus on post HvV seasons at all, Cagayan absolutely delivered with the amount possible returnees, combine those with some gems we've had along the way (I wouldn't mind a Stephanie Valencia return!) and you'd have a great cast. I just don't want them to waste time on people we've seen time and time again (minus a few exceptions).

Truthfully I just want to enjoy all new players for as long as possible, haha!

I loved the BvW and Cagayan cast. IMO anyone who made the merge on those seasons could be considered All stars. I wasn't liking the SJDS cast but after this past episode, I'm warming up to them.

From Cagayan, Tony, Spencer, Trish, Kass, Tasha, LJ and Morgan I can see returning. 

From BvW, IMO the only characters that deserve to come back are Ciera, Hayden, Brad Culpepper and Vytas. All the other made little impact, though I would absolutely love if Marissa came back.

Philippines was great too. What did you think? Caramoan unfortunately happened which ruined the 25-29 amazing stretch.

I always forget about Philippines, it's my favorite after Cagayan and Vanuatu. I would like to see Malcolm, Abi-Maria, Pete, RC, and maybe Denise back. 

Was Caramoan that bad, I haven't watch it but I see a lot of people hate it. 

I loved the BvW and Cagayan cast. IMO anyone who made the merge on those seasons could be considered All stars. I wasn't liking the SJDS cast but after this past episode, I'm warming up to them.

Reminds me, I still need to watch the last episode, haha!

And why does everyone like Josh? I've been anything but impressed with him so far. Keith is only one I really like so far.

I don't like Josh that much, but he is one of the few that are actually playing the game. As for Keith, I absolutely love him, but he is kind of dumb. He sealed his own fate when he told everyone that Jeremy had an idol. 

I'm recently enjoying Survivor a lot more than The Challenge, and I thought that was impossible. I still have a lot of seasons to catch up on. 

Was Caramoan that bad, I haven't watch it but I see a lot of people hate it. 

I personally hated Caramoan. It was the Cochran show and I can't stand Cochroach one bit, and I really really hate how Probst praises him like a god. The so-called "fans" were made up of 4 fans of the show who were all very early boots, and 6 recruits who'd never seen an episode. Oh, and Phillip Sheppard...

How dare you call Jon a dud?! Haha but no, I LOVE him and his story about his father as well as how despite being tied to Drew, he did have a solid stratgey with getting Julie out. Also, i love his relationship with Jacyln and how he views her as a strong woman. I also like Dale and it's weird, apparently Reed caused so much choas on his tribe and had they lost early on, he would've been booted. Wonder why they edited it out?

Phillip Sheppard is the absolute worst. I don't want to watch Redemption Island ever just because I know he makes it to the Final Tribal Council and I can't stand him.

It's not that I don't like them, it's just that haven't brough anything to the table yet entertainment wise (or maybe the edit may make it seem that way). Next week though looks like Jon will bring some drama, so it can be interesting.

****! At least watch some of it for Stephanie, I love her. She had potential to be such a great little *****y villainess!
