Brawn, brain, and beauty using all returning players

So, as usual, Survivor fans are generally disagreeing with each other. Some of them want there to be returning players in the newest season that will premiere in around a month. But I was wondering how a twist like brawn versus brains versus beauty would work in a season featuring all returning players. I know that something like this might be difficult. I’m a heterosexual male so I might be grasping at straws when I try to think of the man that would be considered beautiful. Men aren’t attractive. I don’t even understand why straight women are attracted to us men. Don’t get me wrong: I’m perfectly okay with that. I just think that women are the attractive ones and have a hard time trying to think of one that isn’t that way. But I won’t mention every female Survivor contestant as a beautiful one because that would mean no one is on the other two tribes. Hopefully I can work this out and list enough players, even though I might have too many in the end.

My mind draws a blank for anyone from the first season. But I do plan on watching it since I have gotten the DVDs of it for Christmas. You might see it interspersed with other blog posts of the 28th season. You might not see blogs about it until the summer. I want to rewatch the greatest and most outrageous moments DVD first and report an introductory blog post before the regular posts continue. I’d probably watch the seasons episodes on Saturday before posting the blog post about it on Sunday. But if I watch it during the summer for the first time, then I’ll never know when I’ll be able to watch it. I’ll probably end up watching it and posting it at random times whenever I watch it. I will also do a quick review of B. B. Anderson’s time on the first season in my memory of dead players. I plan to do that with every player possible. I know that I probably couldn’t do that with every single player, just everyone that I outlive. I could always figure out a different drinking game to use for the rest of the episodes that season. I might play a different one with the 28th season when it airs. Hopefully I’ll be able to watch it, considering how I have the DVDs know and have never seen the DVD before. Besides, there are different movies that I watch on Saturdays and Sundays if I have the time to do so.

I have a list that has six different choices for one day and six other choices for another day. The choice is decided by rolling a huge stuffed die that functions just like a real one would. The next thing I have to add is an s choice for either day. That’s the problem. Since s is such a common letter, I have a choice already picked for both Saturday and Sunday meaning that the Survivor special can’t be watched yet. I have a friend who might want to watch the season, but I’m not sure if she’d even have time for it or want to watch it. She might read this blog, but I’ll let her know in person. Anyways, for Saturdays, I am watching the Star Wars saga. I actually enjoy the prequel trilogies and am on the last one of the prequels before I watch the original trilogy again and then Spaceballs. That’s five different s movies before a new one could be added. This could take up enough time for the seventh movie to come out, which is the whole reason I’m watching the series again. Hopefully, the new movies don’t suck, but I find it hard to dislike something. The Sunday movies have Serenity, a great movie that you should watch it you haven’t, as the next one on the list. I’d watch that with commentary. If I’m able to watch that, then the special will happen whenever I roll the number next. I know that would be faster than waiting for the Star Wars watching to be done. For now, I will continue with random blog posts until the next season premieres or I am able to start watching the first season. Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep the two seasons straight if I do end up watch them at the same time. I’d add it to the random TV show DVDs to watch sometime, but I’m watching Stargate SG-1 as well as five other shows so I couldn’t possible add it until Stargate is done (although I’m not sure that I like it enough to keep watching the whole season). For now, I’ll get back to the blog post for the rest of the seasons after this one.

Tina would be considered a smart player from the second, eighth, and twenty-seventh seasons. I’m not sure if she would want to return so soon or not. I’d want to include Michael, but with no good tribe to put him on, I’d have to exclude him from the list. From the third season, Ethan would probably be a part of the beauty tribe, since I don’t remember what other great things he did that helped him win his first season. I would not know if he’d be able to return or not, but he probably would if he’s healthy enough at the time. From the fourth season, Boston Rob would probably be on the beauty tribe, but I don’t think that he’s returning. Besides, he might be a good candidate for the other two tribes as well. Neleh might be on the beauty tribe, since I’m not sure what other tribe she’d be on. Not sure who I’d go with the fifth season, so I won’t include anyone from that. I’m not sure if Rob from the sixth season would return or not, but if he did, he’d be on the brains tribe. I’d really want to include Rupert from the seventh season on the brawn tribe, but I’m not entirely sure that would be a good ranking for him. He doesn’t seem like he’d be on any of the other tribes, do I guess that I’ll just hope that other great contestants are included from other seasons. But Sandra from that season would have to be part of the brains tribe due to her awesome social game that got her the win both times she played.

From the ninth season, I’d want to include Twila, but I’m not sure which tribe she’d be on so she won’t be included. I think that Eliza would be on the beauty tribe. I hope that she doesn’t get annoyed by the tweets I send her. I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but I’m glad that she hasn’t blocked me. I’m just too weird sometimes on twitter, but I’m glad that I have such wonderful followers. Who knows? Maybe someone who reads this blog is also following me on twitter. I have said who I am on twitter (@IamAdamDecker) so that they would know who does this blog. I also think that Chris from this season should be on the smart tribe. From the tenth season, it’s possible that over the course of one season, Tom won more challenges than anyone else ever has on the show. I know that he’d probably be back at some point if he wanted to be. There are tons of other great players from this season, but I’m not sure who all would work. I’d have to go with Bobby Jon for the beauty tribe in a season like this. I want to include Ian, but am not certain what tribe he’d be on. I can’t think of anyone from the eleventh season. From the twelfth, I’d have to go with Terry Diez as a strong player. I’m very annoyed that he hasn’t returned to play another season yet, as I’m sure many other people are. Yul from the thirteenth season would be a good player from the brains tribe. Not sure if Ozzy’s returning so, like a lot of the players already, I’m not going to mention them if I don’t think that they’d return even if they’re a good fit for that tribe. Yau-Man from the fourteenth season might be a good fit for the brains tribe, even though I already have enough male players for it. I guess at this point, I will include an asterisk next to any name I consider to be an alternate for that tribe instead of one of the main players for it. Amanda from the fifteenth season could be on many tribes, but I think that she’s best picked for the brawn tribe since I can’t think of that many women to be on that tribe yet. She could be on any of the three tribes, actually.

If I’m picking a new player from the sixteenth season to play again on a season like this, than Natalie is definitely playing on the Brains tribe. This means that I have enough players to choose from on the brains tribe, so any more mentioned for that tribe will be considered an alternate, if I can’t think of a different tribe to put them on. This leads us to the seventeenth season. Matty would be a good returning player and I’d put him on the beauty tribe since I can’t think of a different tribe that would be a better fit for him. I’d include Marcus as well, but I’m unsure if he would work. Regardless, I will include him as an alternate. From the eighteenth season, the only person I can think of to add is Sierra on the beauty tribe. Since I can’t think of many members of the brawn tribe to add, I might as well make JT a member of that tribe, even though I’m not sure that he would work on a season like this. I should now be done with the beauty tribe for this season and I ironically have more men listed than women. Maybe I’ll add more later. The next season is the nineteenth and I’d have to add Brett to the strong tribe. In fact, that’s the only tribe I have to add players to left. Laura might be a good player to add to that as well.

Going to the twenty-first season, I can’t think of any players to add for any of the tribes. Chase comes close, but I don’t think that it would work. Marty might be another player to add, but I’m also not sure which tribe he’d work on. I might add Jane to a tribe, but once again, I can’t think of the right tribe to add her to. Mike is a strong player and Redemption Island king who could represent the twenty-second season since Matt says that he doesn’t want to return. I’m not sure if Ashley from that season would be a good player or not, but I’m going to include her right now since I can’t think of that many females for the brawn tribe. I’m not sure if Grant would be good for any of the tribes so I won’t include him. From the twenty-third season, the only person I’d consider is Christine. She came one challenge short of the merge and jury and could be a great returning player despite being the second one voted out of the game. From the twenty-fourth season, I’d include Monica as part of the strong tribe. This leads to the twenty-fifth season where Malcolm can be best added to the brains tribe. I’d put RC with the beauty tribe.

For the last batch of names, I will consider new players from the most recent seasons to have only half of the players be new. Hopefully I can think of enough players, although I’m not sure that I have to since I already have more than enough players for every tribe so far. Eddie would be on the smart tribe because I’m not sure what other tribe would be good for him. I want to include Reynold, so I guess that I’d put him on the beauty tribe since I don’t know what other tribe would be a good fit for him, since I’m not sure that a different tribe would work. I’d want Vytas for a tribe, but I can’t think of which one so he won’t be on the list. Hayden should also be on a tribe, but I don’t know which one would work this time either. As for the new women of Blood versus Water, Ciera is the only woman I can think of to put on this type of season and she would be on the beauty tribe since I can’t think of a better fit for her. In fact, it seems like a lot of the players who don’t fit on either the brains tribe or the brawn tribe wind up on the beauty tribe.

Brawn tribe- Tom * (Palau and Heroes versus Villains), Terry (Panama), Amanda (China, Micronesia, and Heroes versus Villains), JT * (Tocantins and Heroes versus Villains), Brett (Samoa), Laura (Samoa and Blood versus Water), Mike (Redemption Island), Ashley * (Redemption Island), Christine * (South Pacific), Monica (One World and Blood versus Water)

Brains tribe- Tina (Australia, All-Stars, and Blood versus Water), Rob * (Amazon and All-Stars), Sandra (Pearl Islands and Heroes versus Villains), Chris (Vanuatu), Yul * (Cook Islands), Yau-Man * (Fiji and Micronesia), Natalie (Micronesia), Malcolm (Philippines and Caramoan), Eddie (Caramoan)

Beauty tribe- Ethan * (Africa and All-Stars), Neleh (Marquesas), Eliza (Vanuatu and Micronesia), Bobby Jon (Palau and Guatemala), Matty (Gabon), Marcus * (Gabon), Sierra * (Tocantins), RC * (Philippines), Reynold (Caramoan), Ciera (Blood versus Water)


I hope that you like the list. I have a lot of alternates mentioned as well, but not enough for all the alternates to be on a separate season. I’m sure that I could if I wanted to, but I don’t really care about it that much. Regardless, I have this list of returning players for a brawn versus brains versus beauty season. If I wanted more, I would have added them, but I don’t care that much so I’ll just leave you with these lists of names and a few alternates. I hope that you enjoyed this random post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
