Survivor All Winners

Some people have talked about doing this for quite some time. I don't know if it is the most requested season they've never done or not. I don't know if they ever will do it. I mean, a lot of people don't like winners playing again. But, I figure that if they ever did do that, I should do a prediction list of who would actually return or not. Also, I'm running out of ideas for blog posts, so if you want me doing something random until the next season premieres or nothing in the blogosphere at all, please let me know. I'm wondering if next season I should do a fan fiction series of a Survivor season that I'd like to see. I'd make up all the new characters, although I'd probably have to include some returning players as well to keep things interesting. And, of course, I can only do that if I don't wind up with another Survivor season on DVD due to the unfortunate death of a contestant from that season. (I know that's a gruesome reason for wanting a season, but I can't think of actually wanting an old one back for any other reason). In fact, I will probably post special information about Jennifer Lyon at some point when I finish the tenth season again. But since I haven't finished yet, I will do this random blog post. Expect all runner-ups and last voted out sometime soon. I would do a list of the ten best twists Survivor had done, but I can't think of that yet. And I should have included day 37 reward challenges on the list of worst twists.

The very first winner in this country's version of Survivor was Richard. He is one of the most outspoken characters in the show's history. You see, I don't fully understand why he was put in jail. Was it something that he knew he should do that he didn't or if it was something he didn't fully understand that was breaking the law, I don't know. I've already asked lawyers about this. If you commit a crime that you don't know is a crime, you will probably still be charged with it because ignorance is no excuse. Anyways, if Richard can play again, he will play again. There's no question about that. If he can't leave the country, we won't see him again. But I'm sure he'll come back if he could. Tina was the winner of the second season. I firmly believe that she could return as well, especially considering the rumored cast for season 27. Ethan is a bit of a grey area. I mean, his cancer is in remission right now, but could it stay that way when they decide to do this season? He'd probably return, but I don't know for sure. Vescepia won the fourth season. After that, she pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth. Well, not in reality. We just don't know what happened to most of her and she is definitely one of the more obscure winners. So the only reason she might not return is because she likes her private life after the game ended. The fifth season had Brian as the winner. A lot of the people who do the show don't really want him back and don't feel that he deserves to be back. So I doubt we'll see him back, although that could end up happening. The sixth season had Jenna. Once again, we get into a complicated situation. The second time she played, she ended up quitting. She thus became the only returning player to never go to tribal council the second time. She probably had the best reason for quitting than any other player (unless you count someone like Dana as a quitter) so it's just as likely that we'll see her back as it is that we'll never see her back. If they do ever bring her back, they will set a precedent than any quitter can be asked back a second time, although one wouldn't think that they would typically do that in the first place. She mentioned on twitter how she is more of a Big Brother fan now than Survivor. If she isn't into this show much anymore, than we probably won't see her. The next season's winner was Sandra. She played twice and won twice. She is considered one of the best Survivor players ever. She probably would want to return for the potential of being three for three. The winner of the first all returning player season was Amber. She is probably way to busy with being a parent to return and probably wouldn't want to anyways. I have the feeling that that family is done with reality TV for the moment. Let's face it, it would be a long while until any of the kids have the chance to play Survivor, although we could possibly see them on another show. Is Endurance still on?

We now come to the next group of seasons. Let's say that there are six women on a tribe and you are the only guy left. The season started as battle of the sexes and the last four people voted out of the game were all men. Surely, you'd think you'd be voted out, right? Surely there won't suddenly be other targets that get eliminated before you, right? Surely you won't somehow manage to get to the final two and win the game, right? WRONG! Chris, one of my favorite winners ever, was also highly unlikely to win. He proved a lot of people wrong when he did win, despite the odds against him. How did he do it? Well, you'd have to see the season again to know for sure. He deserves to come back, but we haven't seen him back for reasons unknown. The tenth season brought us Tom who proved a great leader of the Koror tribe and managed to avoid getting voted out the few times it was even an option. Although he wasn't sure at first that he'd want to come back, he did end up coming back. I'd imagine that he could return again, provided that he got time off of work and still wanted to. Danni won the eleventh season. Since she said she'd only return to do an all winners season, then she'd definitely be a yes for this. The twelfth season was won by Aras. Once again, based on potential spoilers for next season (Blood versus Water) we might see him again in a season like this. The thirteenth was won by Yul. Even though he's doing shows for PBS, I still believe that he could and would return again should the opportunity arises. I mean, he was cut from Micronesia. The fourteenth brought us Earl, the first person to win unanimously. Although some may not recognize him, I'd have to say he'd probably return again. The fifteenth had Todd as the winner. Once again, he might be an obscure winner to some, but I'd bring him back. The next winner was Parvati Shallow. Who could forget someone like her? Well, some may think that she's played too much and she might be done playing the game and onto other more important things like hosting the Survivor Live After Show (which I'm not certain she's doing if they bring it back). But, for the most part, I'd think that she'd return if they let her and I don't know why they wouldn't let her. The winner of the seventeenth season was Bob. He might be too busy teaching and he is the oldest winner ever so he might not return, but, then again, I have no idea why he wouldn't return. JT won the eighteenth season and he has perfect game to defend after the blunder he did when doing the game a second time. Natalie was a great winner in my humble opinion, so I think that she'd return if they wanted her to. And as I already said before, Sandra would probably return to try to win a third time.

So the next winner only won the game by one vote. But what makes his interesting is that two quitters were on the jury and they both voted for him to win. So that would mean Fabio has a win to defend if he ever played again. Boston Rob won the next season and he's probably done playing the game. A lot of people don't like him, but I'm not one of them. I'm not crazily found of him either. I just know that the season he won wasn't rigged for him to win like many people think. That would be illegal. Regardless, he's played the game enough times and probably won't play again. The next season had Sophie and she wasn't as interesting a winner, but that doesn't mean she won't be back. The next season was won by Kim. She'd be great if she could return. The twenty-fifth season had an interesting winner in Denise. She was the first contestant to be present for the elimination of every contestant in a single season as well as surviving every tribal council. She would be a good returning player in my opinion. The most recent season winner was John Cochran. He said that he wouldn't play again on the Survivor Live After Show, but I don't believe it and have the feeling that he could come back. So, I will list what could happen and who could return for an all winners season. I have the feeling that like a lot of these seasons I'm suggesting today and the next two blog posts, that it could only be sixteen contestants, eight men and eight women. I have no idea if I have enough, but we will soon find out.

Here's the winners. I will give a yes, no, maybe, or something like that on whether or not they will return. Richard- maybe, Tina- yes, Ethan- maybe, Vescepia- maybe not, Brian- no, Jenna- maybe, Sandra- yes, Amber- maybe not, Chris- yes, Tom- yes, Danni- yes, Aras- yes, Yul- yes, Earl- yes, Todd- yes, Parvati- yes, Bob- maybe, JT- yes, Natalie- yes, repeat- not included again, Fabio- yes, Boston Rob- no, Sophie- yes, Kim- yes, Denise- yes, John Cochran- maybe. Luckily, since I changed two maybes into yeses, I have eight men and eight women. Who knows if they'll ever do this season. A lot of people don't want winners back, but if they ever do, those are my picks.
