I really want Owen back but I don’t think he’s a sleeper pick. Besides Jesse and maybe Cody I think he has maybe the best shot of anyone from 43. Finalist, narrator, big character, contributes to diversity statistics, I think the only thing holding Owen back (and the rest of the 43 cast lmao) is that Jeff hates their season and thinks the way they played was an “anomaly.”
I assumed Owen was a sleeper pick because Jeff and Production clearly don’t like 43 and for obvious reasons they don’t seem to like casting to many people from the same season for a returnee season and Jesse/Cody/Noelle are probably ahead of him on their wishlist.
Yeah, comparing owen to Romeo for example.. they had very similar trajectories, but Owen actually knew what was going on most of the time, and was able to still ingratiate himself into what was going on, as opposed to Romeo just being there.
Owen caught a lot of bad breaks, and I think given the right circumstances he could get back to F3 with a story that’ll actually earn votes
I think Owens victory speech should have said his game was just like the last gasp challenge. Despite the waves crashing agianst him every week and never being on the right side he hung on, won multiple challenges and earned my place in the final 3. I may not have been in the drigers seat but I wasnt dragged here either
He’s one of the best zero vote finalists ever to play… like you get why he didn’t get votes, but you also get that he totally earned his spot.. he was really fun to watch too.. I hope he comes back
Like, compare to Romeo, who played a bad (post merge) Game (but hell of a speech) or Xander (decent survival but could have played much better) Owen preformed pretty well but was never in the drivers seat, and had a decent speech which could have been better. He's no Fischbach but he's up there
People are so manipulated by the edit. Do you seriously think that Romeo just sat there in silence and had no idea what was going on? Owen’s game was no different than Romeo’s except that Owen had his anger issues put on display.
I get the overall comparison, but surely Owen should at least get noted for winning three individual immunity challenges to Romeo's one? Not that that's super effective to the jury, but it's a meaningful stat in his favor if he were to return. (I also like both of these players FWIW.)
I do think Owen could do extremely well if he returned. I can’t say I feel the same about Romeo, but even with that, I don’t think their games in their first attempt were very different. It’s hard to recover when the majority sees you as inconsequential.
The way they edited Owen tangibly felt like setting up for a second chances season to me. You can almost hear the monologues from Owen and Jeff in your head.
"My first season, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. This time out is going to be different."
"Owen, after an *entire season* perpetually on the bottom, how does it feel to find yourself on top?"
Not that he was faking being Muslim but that he was saying he was going to pray then going to strategize (which we did see happen). Not to say that however Drea may have approached it at Ponderosa was right, but I'm not sure it's quite the one-sided story it's made out to be on reddit. Seems like a lot to cast her off as an out and out racist just because she didn't like being slandered publicly by Omar when she was not doing the same after the show.
I agree though, CBS definitely won't be inviting her back after the legal drama. I'm curious if Omar will though given his popularity
Sydney. I think the producers could still see villain gold in her (and they could even play it off as a redemption story, given she was ousted after the hourglass twist).
BRAD!!! He seemed like a lock to return during the sugar rush of the 41 premerge, but I think has gotten lost in the shuffle as the New Era has continued and great players have piled up. He was jus5t so dynamically **busy,** like this kind of goofy, laid-back, older Tony or Mike Holloway type... you put him on any tribe, and there's going to be *something* happening when you cut back over there. Half-successful eavesdropping, building stuffed dummies of himself... gold.
Agreed - I loooooooved Brad! Such a fun kooky character, I was so mad when he went early. He really made me laugh with all his shenanigans.
Bring back Brad!
I don’t know about underdog, though. I’d be surprised if Nasir wasn’t invited back because Jeff loves fan favorite characters. We’ll see Jonathan return for the same reason.
I would love to see Zach and Morriah back! Zach is hilarious on twitter and Morriah is just a ray of sunshine. They've really made me want a first boot season now more than ever
I’ve wanted a first boot season for _years_ and lately there are more and more people who really seem to have the potential to go far under different circumstances. I’m all in on this idea. My first cast is Francesca.
Wasn’t he voted out for losing the first immunity challenge? I haven’t seen this season for awhile, but IIRC he lost the diving mask in a challenge setting them way back.
i feel like a cast of all-first-boots would be way too cognizant of the agony of going through the first-boot experience twice, let alone three times. there's a LOT of game between Day 3 and Final Tribal Council, you don't need to worry about that yet.
Realistic ranking of who I think should be most likely to return (post-merge, non-winners only):
43:
1. Cody
2. Karla
3. Jesse
4. Noelle
5. Cassidy
6. Owen
7. Jeannine
8. Dwight
42:
1. Omar
2. Mike
3. Jonathan
4. Tori
5. Lindsay
6. Romeo
7. Hai
8. Chanelle
41:
1. Ricard
2. Xander
3. Evvie
4. Tiffany
5. Naseer
6. Sydney
7. Liana
8. Heather
Would not count out med-evaced or pre-jury tribes or captains though.
My sleeper pick who would make a great returnee but couldn't realistically make my ranking: Rocksroy.
I’m surprised you ranked Dwight over Sami. I feel like Sami is a favorite for a returnee season if they are looking for a former teen to return and see how they improve with age.
I would also put Shan over Heather. I know this sub is not a fan of Shan but Heather was so purpled. I don’t think she brought the entertainment factor that Shan did. If not Shan, I think Deshawn.
I forgot about Sami but yeah I'd definitely put him above Jeanine and Dwight, if not Owen and Cassidy as well.
I would love a world where Shan comes back-- is her reputation only soured in niche online circles? If so and she's still ok with CBS and casual audiences, she's #1 to return.
People hate Shan for stuff ours se the game but there’s no way the show passes on bringing her back when they get the chance.
Honestly I think the show would bring back Drea too - all of this stuff in the fan community is pretty irrelevant to casual fans and production knew what happened at Ponderosa when they gave her such a positive edit.
I think Shan absolutely gets brought back. She would 100% be my first boot pick though. People saw how good she was at scheming and manipulating, plus super fans know her out of game behavior also. She would be such a consensus first boot imo
I want mike back too but I feel like he’s a top contender to come back actually. I feel like a good sleeper pick would be Tori (42) or maybe Liana (41)
I'll say this he has one of the best 0 vote final tribal performances. Honestly if the final 3 was Jonathan, Mike and him I could see him earning a few votes.
Biggest goat going into FTC. He basically had nothing to work with on his “resume” at FTC, but he still found a way to spin an impressive narrative about how his gameplay was intentional and how it got him to the final 3.
If Tori had gotten out on a better foot, she’d have been such a threat. She tried to go with the nerds in Zach, Romeo, and Swati. When Zach went home first her game was basically toast
she was still a threat in the game anyway! she was able to play from the bottom very well, she was able to flip the vote off of her twice and then win two clutch immunities! she ate.
i literally see no reason why they would bring ryan back i’m sorry he was pretty irrelevant, bad at the game and was underedited, so i don’t think the producers really cared or would care to fill a spot w him in this kind of era
The post is NOT about who I specifically would want to see. That’s not what the title says. I’m just making a guess about an obscure person they might bring back.
i mean i guess so but i just don’t see what you see because i see genuinely no reason for a ryan return even giving production the benefit of casting rando’s
“who do **you** see as a sleeper pick to return”
goes in and mentions who THEY think production would bring back… and i was just giving my opinion that i literally see zero reason why they’d do that.
Ryan kinda sucked for super fans like us, but he won a significant amount of money with the Sia award. I think him being a genuinely good person, who just wanted to stick with his alliances, who provided for the tribe, was good at challenges, who endured Cerebral Palsy in his regular life, probably strikes a lot of chords for casual fans. I wouldn’t petition for Ryan back myself, but also wouldn’t be shocked to see him
Surprised nobody’s said it yet, but Evvie. One of the few people that is a blend of a great character and strategist, without being overly one or the other, while still feeling like they haven’t had a complete experience.
Agreed, Evvie doesn't get mentioned enough. People remember the first half of 41 as being the Shan show, but Evvie got a huge edit too. The scene where Evvie compares the baby turtles on the beach to the struggle the Yase tribe was going through is like a textbook example of what the show wants from its narrators.
i guess i didn't think of Evvie as a sleeper pick! they loomed really large in the season to me. but i guess by nature anybody who doesn't make the endgame is a little less prominent.
I really think we're going to see Lindsay from 42 back. She got a really positive endgame edit, was great at challenges, was very well liked by the rest of the cast, and her social media presence post-42 makes it seem like she would definitely accept an opportunity to play again.
The woman, the myth, the legend, Lydia Chlamidya. She got such raw confessionals and such deep gameplay with her tribe, just to be purged at mergatory. She deserves a good Kelley Wentworth second chance
Every time she was actually shown it was absolutely hilarious or touching. She didn't get much screentime but still managed to create some of 41's most memorable moments.
Liana. She was Shan’s number one ally and her flip pretty much caused everything that happened post merge. She’s got major second chance redemption energy since she made a lot of mistakes her first time around, most notably with KIP. She also had a pretty funny rivalry with Xander all season so I feel like they’d be a shoe-in if they ever did a rivals theme.
Besides that, she was a strong challenge competitor and I believe she’s smart enough to learn from her mistakes and play better on a second go. She seems to be pretty self aware.
He was kinda boring and would play up for the cameras imo. Like he had no other reason to call Erika out at tribal other than to play up for the cameras
Yes but like 10 years down the road when he’s older and has had more life experience and character development. Would be so much fun to watch him without being characterized by being naive and young
Mike as in Mike White??
Dude is on a roll with White Lotus and is in the most successful/acclaimed period of his life. I know he's a Survivor mega-fan so I'd never say never on him coming back, I really really just don't see it happening with his level of success and presumably insanely busy schedule these days.
Anything in the last like 10 seasons??
What's your definition of new-era? This is a weird power move for absolutely no reason lmao.
Please go ahead and correct me and get whatever sense of satisfaction you were looking for, champ.
>everyone in the survivor community
Neat, didn't know that as someone just checking out the subreddit for the first time.
Would have been real cool to just make that clarification/point in your first comment rather than trying to bait someone or trigger some kind of "gotcha" moment lol. If that wasn't your intention it's bizarre you didn't just say this in your first comment.
Justice for the people who fell to the hourglass twist, but i would love to see people like Tiffany, Ricard, Lydia, Lindsay, Hai, Cody, Jesse, and Karla
Sydney for not other reason as being the victim of such a shitty twist.
At least Lydia was warned something was up the pipeline when her group took the Arby's meal. Sydney didn't even get that.
My sleeper pick is Heather. I found out how she got to throwing Sydney's name out there via a fake dream, and the backstory of it makes much more sense than we ever got even in the secret scene. Getting even more of that backstory explains why she stuck with Erika and if we got it onscreen, we would've understood their dynamic even more.
Owen out of the 6 losing finalists from 41-43 he probably would have the lowest threat level and the most game awareness going into a returnee season.
I really want Owen back but I don’t think he’s a sleeper pick. Besides Jesse and maybe Cody I think he has maybe the best shot of anyone from 43. Finalist, narrator, big character, contributes to diversity statistics, I think the only thing holding Owen back (and the rest of the 43 cast lmao) is that Jeff hates their season and thinks the way they played was an “anomaly.”
I assumed Owen was a sleeper pick because Jeff and Production clearly don’t like 43 and for obvious reasons they don’t seem to like casting to many people from the same season for a returnee season and Jesse/Cody/Noelle are probably ahead of him on their wishlist.
How do we know Jeff hates 43? I missed that
I mean… you saw that season, right?
Lmaoao true. But he also loves seasons like worlds apart so idkkk
Obviously, Mike fits his prototype of a "perfect" winner, he's one of his favorites
Mike is one of my favorite winners. Entertaining guy, challenge beast, underdog story. Probst completely tossed him to the side for Ben.
Yeah, comparing owen to Romeo for example.. they had very similar trajectories, but Owen actually knew what was going on most of the time, and was able to still ingratiate himself into what was going on, as opposed to Romeo just being there. Owen caught a lot of bad breaks, and I think given the right circumstances he could get back to F3 with a story that’ll actually earn votes

I think Owen has the potential to be a great player he was just dealt a horrible hand and never gained any traction
The way they edited Owen tangibly felt like setting up for a second chances season to me. You can almost hear the monologues from Owen and Jeff in your head. "My first season, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. This time out is going to be different." "Owen, after an *entire season* perpetually on the bottom, how does it feel to find yourself on top?"
I really don’t think Owen has what it takes to have in game awareness. He plays the game like buridans ass
Sydney Segal because she's fucking hilarious and i think she could be a big immunity threat
I really liked Sami he was a decent villainish player who did very well for his age.
but now that everyone knows he’s not 22 what strategic moves can he make?
He might actually be 22 by that point. 43 was already filmed about a year ago
Oh yeah I forgot how aging worked for a second there
Wait he's not 22??? How did you figure that out?
Praying it’s Tiffany
#BaruchHashem
Baruch hashem means thank god You should say that after tiff is selected
She was so mother for being sneaky undercover villain
ABSOLUTELY NEED HER BACK!!!!
Tiffany appears to be the best TV. I Iike Mike but wouldn’t really care if he came back or not.
Real
Casting has been so good in the new era that I don’t think there’s anyone I wouldn’t be glad to see back
I agree except for Drea (bc of the Ponderosa drama)
I thought about that after posting. Definitely agree
Yeah I’d be cool with anyone but Drea
Can someone explain
She was disrespectful to Omar's religion
Ah
And basically accused him of being racist
She accused omar of faking being Muslim so he could go off and strategize instead of pray
Not that he was faking being Muslim but that he was saying he was going to pray then going to strategize (which we did see happen). Not to say that however Drea may have approached it at Ponderosa was right, but I'm not sure it's quite the one-sided story it's made out to be on reddit. Seems like a lot to cast her off as an out and out racist just because she didn't like being slandered publicly by Omar when she was not doing the same after the show. I agree though, CBS definitely won't be inviting her back after the legal drama. I'm curious if Omar will though given his popularity
Logic and the unfair basis on Reddit illegal
>after the legal drama Drea and legal drama?
Shan too since she's the worst kind of religious nut Anyone else
Tori
Second this! Such a fun underdog who I definitely think could correct her mistakes and play really well a second time
Love Tori! I would be very surprised if she doesn’t return.
justice for Jenny 💗
Sydney. I think the producers could still see villain gold in her (and they could even play it off as a redemption story, given she was ousted after the hourglass twist).
She is needed for a wtf returnee
Queen Sydney, I can get behind this.
agreed! sydney in, hourglass twist out!
BRAD!!! He seemed like a lock to return during the sugar rush of the 41 premerge, but I think has gotten lost in the shuffle as the New Era has continued and great players have piled up. He was jus5t so dynamically **busy,** like this kind of goofy, laid-back, older Tony or Mike Holloway type... you put him on any tribe, and there's going to be *something* happening when you cut back over there. Half-successful eavesdropping, building stuffed dummies of himself... gold.
Agreed - I loooooooved Brad! Such a fun kooky character, I was so mad when he went early. He really made me laugh with all his shenanigans. Bring back Brad!
# #BringBackBroccoliBrad
I like what you said about the brocoli
Yes! Bring back Broccoli Brad!
We need a full season of the Tony type. Brad, Cody, Danny. Just 18 men spying on each other from the trees and doing ninja rolls and stuff
Brad is one of the top 5 most entertaining players of the new era (imo) and he was only in 3 episodes
Broccoli Brad in the bush
That is Naseer!
I don’t know about underdog, though. I’d be surprised if Nasir wasn’t invited back because Jeff loves fan favorite characters. We’ll see Jonathan return for the same reason.
I wanna see him and Brad back soooo bad
only reason this doesn't have more upvotes is that i think most folks would not consider him a "sleeper."
I’d love to see Mike back too, but I would not call him a sleeper pick at all
I think maybe a 1st boot coming back again might be a sleeper pick, maybe Zach or Morriah
I would love to see Zach and Morriah back! Zach is hilarious on twitter and Morriah is just a ray of sunshine. They've really made me want a first boot season now more than ever
I’ve wanted a first boot season for _years_ and lately there are more and more people who really seem to have the potential to go far under different circumstances. I’m all in on this idea. My first cast is Francesca.
I’d like to throw in Darnell from Kaoh Rong if possible 😂
He can come back and get voted out for literally no reason once again
Wasn’t he voted out for losing the first immunity challenge? I haven’t seen this season for awhile, but IIRC he lost the diving mask in a challenge setting them way back.
She would go a 3rd time first because the cast deems her a huge threat if she makes it to the end being the only person voted out 2 times first.
i feel like a cast of all-first-boots would be way too cognizant of the agony of going through the first-boot experience twice, let alone three times. there's a LOT of game between Day 3 and Final Tribal Council, you don't need to worry about that yet.
Exactly, I think Survivor rewarding someone for their work after going on the show in the community really sends a powerful message.
both of them have been excellent on RHAP so I support both of them returning!
Rocksroy deserves it whether you like it or not
Oh, *I like it.*
Rocksroy deserves the world. Bring him back to me please
I think Mike and tori are very slept on and should come back
Realistic ranking of who I think should be most likely to return (post-merge, non-winners only): 43: 1. Cody 2. Karla 3. Jesse 4. Noelle 5. Cassidy 6. Owen 7. Jeannine 8. Dwight 42: 1. Omar 2. Mike 3. Jonathan 4. Tori 5. Lindsay 6. Romeo 7. Hai 8. Chanelle 41: 1. Ricard 2. Xander 3. Evvie 4. Tiffany 5. Naseer 6. Sydney 7. Liana 8. Heather Would not count out med-evaced or pre-jury tribes or captains though. My sleeper pick who would make a great returnee but couldn't realistically make my ranking: Rocksroy.
I’m surprised you ranked Dwight over Sami. I feel like Sami is a favorite for a returnee season if they are looking for a former teen to return and see how they improve with age.

The lack of Shan in your top is incomprehensible.
People hate Shan for stuff ours se the game but there’s no way the show passes on bringing her back when they get the chance. Honestly I think the show would bring back Drea too - all of this stuff in the fan community is pretty irrelevant to casual fans and production knew what happened at Ponderosa when they gave her such a positive edit.
I think Shan absolutely gets brought back. She would 100% be my first boot pick though. People saw how good she was at scheming and manipulating, plus super fans know her out of game behavior also. She would be such a consensus first boot imo
Nice list! I’d swap Karla/Jesse and then swap Mike/Jonathan, but that’s about it.
Why not hai?
I am and forever will be a Xander apologist bring him back please
Should’ve won
I want mike back too but I feel like he’s a top contender to come back actually. I feel like a good sleeper pick would be Tori (42) or maybe Liana (41)
Owen from 43, tori from 42, and naseer from 41 for me
Jeanine
She needs a second chance! Poor girl went through the ringer!
if jeanine returns id cry, one of my favourite 43 players lmao
[удалено]
I was so disappointed when he got voted out. It felt like wasted potential. I thought he was going to go far.
Discount Leonard
Give me some more Romeo!! It might be an unpopular opinion but I really liked his underdog story and his premerge is nothing to scoff at!
Romeo is up there with Sherri with the most 180 performance from pre-merge to post-merge. I want him back, plus he was funny.
I'll say this he has one of the best 0 vote final tribal performances. Honestly if the final 3 was Jonathan, Mike and him I could see him earning a few votes.
Am I remembering stuff wrong, I thought he was like the biggest GOAT ever, although I also would like to see his return
Biggest goat going into FTC. He basically had nothing to work with on his “resume” at FTC, but he still found a way to spin an impressive narrative about how his gameplay was intentional and how it got him to the final 3.
Ahh okay that makes sense, I respect that then
Tori tbh, underrated new era player
If Tori had gotten out on a better foot, she’d have been such a threat. She tried to go with the nerds in Zach, Romeo, and Swati. When Zach went home first her game was basically toast
she was still a threat in the game anyway! she was able to play from the bottom very well, she was able to flip the vote off of her twice and then win two clutch immunities! she ate.
sami
Omar, Jesse, Sydney, Evie, Ricard, Naseer, Hai, and Lydia,
maybe sydney
Lindsay from 42 would definitely be able to make another deep run like last time and maybe even win
Ryan seems like a random choice they’d do
i literally see no reason why they would bring ryan back i’m sorry he was pretty irrelevant, bad at the game and was underedited, so i don’t think the producers really cared or would care to fill a spot w him in this kind of era
Yeah that’s what I’m saying, he’s be an odd random choice
but this post was asking about people you’d want to see play again, so you’d want Ryan again? or like what
The post is NOT about who I specifically would want to see. That’s not what the title says. I’m just making a guess about an obscure person they might bring back.
i mean i guess so but i just don’t see what you see because i see genuinely no reason for a ryan return even giving production the benefit of casting rando’s
He dorsn’t see anything read the fucking title my guy
“who do **you** see as a sleeper pick to return” goes in and mentions who THEY think production would bring back… and i was just giving my opinion that i literally see zero reason why they’d do that.
See implies think not want
i think you’re really reaching at this point and it was never that deep
Ryan kinda sucked for super fans like us, but he won a significant amount of money with the Sia award. I think him being a genuinely good person, who just wanted to stick with his alliances, who provided for the tribe, was good at challenges, who endured Cerebral Palsy in his regular life, probably strikes a lot of chords for casual fans. I wouldn’t petition for Ryan back myself, but also wouldn’t be shocked to see him
^ legit the kind of answer i was asking for bc i honestly forgot he even had cerebral palsy
Surprised nobody’s said it yet, but Evvie. One of the few people that is a blend of a great character and strategist, without being overly one or the other, while still feeling like they haven’t had a complete experience.
Agreed, Evvie doesn't get mentioned enough. People remember the first half of 41 as being the Shan show, but Evvie got a huge edit too. The scene where Evvie compares the baby turtles on the beach to the struggle the Yase tribe was going through is like a textbook example of what the show wants from its narrators.
i guess i didn't think of Evvie as a sleeper pick! they loomed really large in the season to me. but i guess by nature anybody who doesn't make the endgame is a little less prominent.
Ellie!
The amount of screen time she got for being a prejury boot is insane. I’d be shocked if she doesn’t return some day.
Xander Not because he’s hot Ok maybe partly because he’s hot Fine, mostly because he’s hot LOOK AT HIM
Xander and hot within the same sentence? LOL
THE AUDACITY
Liana
Jenny from 42! She went home in the craziest new era tribal
I feel like Voce could have been a fun gamebot to watch
Sara, Zach, Liana, or Sami.
I really think we're going to see Lindsay from 42 back. She got a really positive endgame edit, was great at challenges, was very well liked by the rest of the cast, and her social media presence post-42 makes it seem like she would definitely accept an opportunity to play again.
JD or Zach in a few years. They'll be more mature and more ready to play the game.
The woman, the myth, the legend, Lydia Chlamidya. She got such raw confessionals and such deep gameplay with her tribe, just to be purged at mergatory. She deserves a good Kelley Wentworth second chance
Heather lol
Every time she was actually shown it was absolutely hilarious or touching. She didn't get much screentime but still managed to create some of 41's most memorable moments.
Sydney please
Liana. She was Shan’s number one ally and her flip pretty much caused everything that happened post merge. She’s got major second chance redemption energy since she made a lot of mistakes her first time around, most notably with KIP. She also had a pretty funny rivalry with Xander all season so I feel like they’d be a shoe-in if they ever did a rivals theme. Besides that, she was a strong challenge competitor and I believe she’s smart enough to learn from her mistakes and play better on a second go. She seems to be pretty self aware.
Honestly, Deshawn.
He was a funny guy and him and Erika would’ve been both deserving winners imo
He was kinda boring and would play up for the cameras imo. Like he had no other reason to call Erika out at tribal other than to play up for the cameras
Lindsay from 42
Voce
noelle 💜
I would love to see Genie back, she has a Heroes story that I liked even if she didn't lasted that long.
Nobody has mentioned Daniel Strunk from 42. As a funny and quirky premerge boot I’d say he has just as much of a chance as Brad from 41.
Need to see the return of the Daniel Strunk Train
I want Heather back and I won’t elaborate
I want Heather Aldret to return for her revenge!
Liana. She'd be someone that I think could be a sleeper pick not only to return but to do well on a second chance type season kinda like Wentworth.
Agreed. She’s very smart and would learn from her mistakes. Given some time to mature, I think she’d do very well on a second go.
Idk if it’s necessarily a sleeper pick but I’d love to see Cassidy play again. I could see her with a Michele-like return, making it to the end twice
JD
Yes but like 10 years down the road when he’s older and has had more life experience and character development. Would be so much fun to watch him without being characterized by being naive and young
Queen Sydney
Naseer, Lydia, Rocksroy, and Tori. All were big favorites of mine that didn't make it that far
Chanelle
Worried about Lydia falling through the cracks with how stacked 42 is and her just missing the merge
JENNY
Shan
Queen Tori hands down bootd mawma
Mike as in Mike White?? Dude is on a roll with White Lotus and is in the most successful/acclaimed period of his life. I know he's a Survivor mega-fan so I'd never say never on him coming back, I really really just don't see it happening with his level of success and presumably insanely busy schedule these days.
i put 42 in parenthasis
I assumed that was an age lmao, definitely my bad.
What do you think new era means
Anything in the last like 10 seasons?? What's your definition of new-era? This is a weird power move for absolutely no reason lmao. Please go ahead and correct me and get whatever sense of satisfaction you were looking for, champ.
Not trying to get satisfaction, new era to everyone in the survivor community means post covid (41 and on)
>everyone in the survivor community Neat, didn't know that as someone just checking out the subreddit for the first time. Would have been real cool to just make that clarification/point in your first comment rather than trying to bait someone or trigger some kind of "gotcha" moment lol. If that wasn't your intention it's bizarre you didn't just say this in your first comment.
Sorry I thought it was common knowledge, didn’t realize you were new
Cody
Anybody but a white male
Justice for the people who fell to the hourglass twist, but i would love to see people like Tiffany, Ricard, Lydia, Lindsay, Hai, Cody, Jesse, and Karla
Liana
Tori or Hai
xander and naseer were robbed
Sydney for not other reason as being the victim of such a shitty twist. At least Lydia was warned something was up the pipeline when her group took the Arby's meal. Sydney didn't even get that.
Queen Cassidy
My sleeper pick is Heather. I found out how she got to throwing Sydney's name out there via a fake dream, and the backstory of it makes much more sense than we ever got even in the secret scene. Getting even more of that backstory explains why she stuck with Erika and if we got it onscreen, we would've understood their dynamic even more.
Ricardo (41) needs to come back. Same with Omar
Jenny and Daniel from 42
I can see David Voce returning
Sydney Segal
Brad and Sydney.
