Survivor Second Chance: Notable Snubs not Eligible for Voting

Okay, I should probably get straight to the point: Survivor was wrong to exclude a lot of people from voting in the second chance poll. So I will mention various different players that I think should have been considered. Before I do that, I’ll get to people that were known to decline an offer for next season based on information that I had as of the posting of this blog post. Information about the alternates comes from Wikipedia and http://insidesurvivor.com/2015/06/survivor-second-chance-missed-opportunities/ a hopefully accurate site.

Greg from Borneo didn’t want to do this season. RC from Philippines also declined this season. Jon Misch from San Juan del Sur didn’t reply to producers on time to be considered. Josh from San Juan del Sur declined to do some sort of stage production. Shambo from Samoa wasn’t interested and neither was Ian from Palau. Natalie from Micronesia turned down the offer as well. Chelsea from One World was considered in the early stages, but wasn’t considered when time for the vote. Angie from Philippines was also considered and she was eliminated into the early process. John and Hayden from Blood versus Water were first considered and then cut for reasons unknown. Cliff and J’Tia from Cagayan wasn’t chosen, possibly due to too many Cagayan players in the mix. Those are the only people who were considered that weren’t an option that we know of. There may have been more.

Now that I’ve mentioned them, I might as well mention who I think should have been choices from various seasons and why I think that they could have been mentioned. I will stick to those who I feel should be on a specific second chance season and avoid others that I either think could be good returning players or those that I’m not sure I’d want to return anyways. All-star contestants would be avoided in my mind and I’ll only stick with those who I think would actually fit on a second chance season. Hopefully, it doesn’t sound too judgmental in any way.

We start with players from Borneo. People who would fit in a second chance season are Sean, Colleen, Gretchen, Sonja, Dirk, and Ramona. Then in Australia, a player that would fit a second chance season is Mitchell. From Africa, players that would work are Silas, Kelly, Carl, and Lindsey. From Marquesas, players that would work are Sarah, Paschal, John, and Gabriel. Nobody from Marquesas, Thailand, or Amazon could be voted for. To be fair, though, I can’t think of anyone from Thailand that would work. From Amazon, I can think of Christy, Joanna, Roger, and Ryan all working. From Pearl Islands, players that would work are Lillian, Burton, Shawn, Ryan Opray, and Darrah.

Vanuatu, Palau, and Guatemala had no players that we could vote for. You’d think that Travis, Rory, and Leann from Vanuatu would work on a second chance season. From Palau, players that would work are Gregg, Coby, Caryn, Jonathan, Wanda, Jolanda, Angie, and James. From Guatemala, players that would work are Cindy and Rafe. From Panama, players that would work are Misty, Shane, Dan, and Bruce. Cook Islands and Fiji had nobody we could vote for. Billy, Sundra, Sekou, Anh-Tuan, and Jenny are all players from Cook Islands that would all work on a second chance season. From Fiji, players that would work are Stacy, Michelle, Gary, Liliana, and Sylvia. From China, players that would work are Aaron and Sherea. Micronesia and Gabon had no players that we could vote for.

From Micronesia, Alexis, Jason, Tracy, and Mary are all players that would work on a second chance season. From Gabon, players that would work are Matty and Marcus. From Tocantins, players that would work are Joe, Taj, Sandy, Sierra, Jerry, and Brendan. From Samoa, players that would work are Mike, Betsy, John, Erik, Elizabeth, and Kelly.

Nicaragua didn’t have anyone that we could vote for. Kelly Bruno, Chase, Holly, and Shannon are all players from that season that would work on a second chance season. From Redemption Island, players that would work are Matt, Mike, Kristina, and Grant. From South Pacific, players that would work are Christine, Elyse, and Keith. From One World, players that would work are Tarzan, Jonas, and Kourtney. From Philippines, players that would work are Pete, Dana, Jeff, and Sarah. Caramoan didn’t have anyone eligible for voting. Players from that season that would work in a second chance season are Allie, Shamar, Laura, Matt, and Hope.

From Blood versus Water, players that would work are Katie, Laura Boneham, and Marissa. From Cagayan, players that would work are Brice, Garrett, and Sarah. From San Juan del Sur, players that would work are Nadiya, John Rocker, Drew, Baylor, Wes, and maybe others that I can’t think of at the moment. From Worlds Apart, players that would work are Kelly, Dan, So, Tyler, and maybe more that I can’t think of.

I’m sure that there are some players that I forgot to mention. Maybe I just didn’t remember enough about certain players to include them on this list. I may have intentionally not mentioned someone in the event that I figured that they wouldn’t be allowed to play again. I also tried to stick with only second chance players instead of just anyone. Anyways, that’s all that I’m mentioning in this blog post. I may have to create my own list of second chance players again. We’ll see. For now, this is Adam Decker signing off.
