Team Cagayan

As part of a planned idea, in every season that I can make work, I would put three men from it and three women into a season with new players. The twist that I plan is unlikely to ever happen (especially if CBS won’t allow any unsolicited ideas as part of their show), but it is still fun to speculate. Today, I focus on the cast of Cagayan. But I have to follow certain rules.

1- You can only pick people from this season who have only played the game just once thus far. If they have returned since they played, then you can’t pick them. 2- As often as possible, try to represent all of the tribes on this season. It can’t happen this time around for reasons that I’ll get into, but I’ll explain what else I can do to make up for it. 3- If there is any reason why you can’t or won’t pick a contestant, then you might as well explain it, especially if the previous rules don’t apply.

Let’s get started as to who isn’t on this season. I can’t go with Cliff because he is dead. I can’t go with Lindsey because she quit. I can’t go with Tony, Spencer, Sarah, Kass, Woo, or Tasha because they have all played again since they first played Survivor. Everyone else is fair game. It’s time to vote. No wait, that’s something else.

Starting with the men that I’d want to see on this season, let’s get to who would best represent Luzon that has not already played the game again. I think that I would go with Garrett since he would have more to prove the second time around. Since I can’t go with any man from the original Aparri tribe, I will go with one from the post swap Aparri tribe: Jeremiah. As for my last choice, I would go with L J as I think that he could prove to be a benefit the next time around.

Continuing on with the women, I think that a good choice would be Trish. I mean, she is the only person in the final six that season that hasn’t returned for another yet. I would also like to pick J’Tia so that Luzon can be represented. As for the last pick, I think that I’d go with Alexis to represent Solana.

Now while I’m not going to mention groupings of contestants, I am going to make my case as to why each of these players (outside of the dead one and quitter) should get to play the game again. David should prove himself to be a better person who can like blindsides that aren’t his own. Garrett needs to prove that he could be a good player who can make better decisions. Brice is wonderful and eccentric so he could prove to last longer if he ever played again. J’Tia could prove to be a good player in the future or be the same player she was in the past.

Alexis was wonderful, despite not making it to the merge. Sarah is likable despite being devious so she should get to play again. Morgan could prove herself to be more memorable playing the game again. L J also has a lot to prove if he were ever coming back.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog. He was a good friend of mine. And the player Jeremy from this season was one of the most memorable players on his tribe so he should play again as a result. Jefra made it the furthest out of her original tribe so she could play again and prove that she deserved this. Tasha wasn’t as good or memorable the second time that she played, despite making it further. She could prove to be a better player than that game was for her. Trish is one of the most memorable players from this season who has not already returned for one.

Spencer also has to prove himself after his reputation took a hit after the second time he played. Kass is a great player who would be a great one to return to see if she can win in the end. Woo still has a lot to prove in the game by playing again. And Tony has won twice now meaning that he could return to be the first three time winner, if people will let him.

And that’s it for this post. I’m scheduling this and other updates for the future so hopefully I can get it all done in the future to have enough planned out for the rest of this year. I doubt that I will be able to get much in with other blogs that I was wanting too, but this could still be good as a result. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
