Top Ten Survivor Frenemies

Frenemy: A sometimes friend, sometimes enemy. You see a lot of these on Survivor. They started in the very first season and you see a lot of these people from time to time. Maybe they are normally people who don’t like each other. Maybe they normally do. But they normally form interesting dynamics any way that the game goes. Let’s get to mentioning all of them. I’ll forgo rules and honorable mentions as I feel that any could spoil what does wind up on the list.

#10 Ozzy and Coach from South Pacific- They started out as random returnees in a one returnee per tribe season. While it made no sense that they returned, they did form an interesting dynamic on their season. They sort of worked together at one point, but this didn’t really happen. While it was a forced rivalry, this is what happened sometimes although they worked together other times.

#9 Brenda and Dawn from Caramoan- First they were nice to each other especially after Dawn had a breakdown at one point during the merge. But then everything changed when Brenda sacrificed her and Dawn’s family reward so that everyone else could experience it themselves. Dawn infamously turned on Brenda which lead to fireworks with the fans and at the final tribal council.

#8 Dreamz and Yau-Man from Fiji- It was the most controversial deal in the history of Survivor by its very own promotions: Yau-Man gave his car to Dreamz in exchange for possible immunity in the future. It was so controversial that they got rid of cars as rewards, although that might have been since Dreamz couldn’t pay the taxes on the car and never got it as a result. Dreamz immediately tried to vote out Yau-Man before his would have had to hold up to his deal. When the situation that Yau-Man agreed to came up, Dreamz didn’t hold up his end of the deal and their rivalry was cemented even though it started out due to a very friendly gesture of a free car.

#7 Jonathan and Yul from Cook Islands- First Jonathan betrayed Yul’s tribe by choosing to join the other tribe. Then Jonathan betrayed the tribe he switched to rejoining Yul’s tribe. Yul ending up helping to vote out Jonathan yet still gave him his hat back as a gesture of goodwill. Jonathan voted for Yul to win and that proved interesting as Yul only won by one vote. This was a huge back and forth and it ended well for Yul.

#6 Randy and Bob from Gabon- I’m not entirely sure what all went wrong with their relationship. Maybe Randy just hates too many people. But Bob didn’t help the relationship by giving a fake idol to Randy when Randy was voted out. Bob was about to make amends and get Randy’s vote to win the game. They much have had at least some good will between them.

#5 Peih-Gee and Denise from China- While I’m not entirely sure myself if they were friends, I’m pretty sure that’s how it started out in the beginning. But their relationship deteriorated as it went along as Denise kept treating Peih-Gee worse and worse. And that is why I think that they fit for this.

#4 Tony and Spencer from Cagayan- This relationship went back and forth a lot between them working together and them trying to get each other voted out of the game. Tony wound up being a finalist and Spencer was a jury member with Spencer putting aside any possible hatred between them by giving a good speech as to why Tony should win.

#3 Jenna and Christy from Amazon- You might wonder to yourself: were they friends? That would seem unlikely throughout the season. Yet Christy still seemed to like Jenna compared at least to Matthew since she voted for Jenna to win. There must have been some goodwill between them.

#2 Sue and Kelly from Borneo- The original frenemies, these two were in an alliance until Kelly thought that she was better off without one. Sue felt betrayed by Kelly abandoning them. Kelly tried to make herself look better to the Pagong members, but she still fell short one vote to win. Who cost Kelly the win? It was Sue herself after her speech about why Richard should win.

You might wonder what number 1 would be. Well, there were a lot of good rivalries between friends or friendships between rivals that I thought of when I come up with this list. Between all of them that I thought of and didn’t mention, I decided that one didn’t work with this one player since I wanted to put down their complicated relationship with another player instead. You might wonder then, who do I think were the best frenemies throughout all the Survivor seasons? In my mind, only one of them could possibly come out on top and that's why the number one choice is

#1 Sandra and Russell from Heroes versus Villains- They wound up on opposites sides on their original tribes and Sandra was soon the only person left from her original alliance since everyone else flipped or was never part of it. Then she started manipulating Russell into getting rid of other people in hopes of making it seem like certain things were happening to the heroes that weren’t. She tried to work with the heroes but stayed with Russell. He was too overconfident in his ways and thought that there was no way that she could win the game. He thought wrong and his best frenemy beat him.

Well, that’s all I can think of for this blog post. Did I miss any good ones? The one that was almost in this list that wasn’t was Sandra and Johnny Fairplay from Pearl Islands. I don’t think that there were any other notable ones missed as I felt that they either weren’t friends enough or weren’t enemies enough for the true combo that I was looking for ended up working in the long term. For instance, I don’t think that Terry voting for Aras made them enough friends in the end. I also could have picked Adam and David from their season, but thought that it wouldn’t work either. I guess someone can let me know in the comments if they thought a different frenemy should have belonged here. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

One Hit Wonders

What do I mean by one hit wonders? Well, in the terms of reality TV, a one hit wonder is a player that for one reason or another hasn’t played a second season. I’m going to mention a whole bunch of these players from various seasons that I felt left a huge mark on their season even though they never ended up playing another one. Also, they only did one reality show and not more than one.

Let’s start with the very first season: Borneo. Greg stands out as one of the most notable one hit wonders of this season. Colleen is also a stand out from it. Gretchen, Dirk, and Sean also stood out in different ways. From Australia, Elisabeth and Rodger both stood out. From Africa, Teresa and Silas both were notable players. From Marquesas, Paschal, John, and Gabriel left their marks. From Thailand, Jake was a pretty good player. From Amazon, Christy is one of the best players I can think of who hasn’t come back a second time yet. From Pearl Islands, both Burton and Lillian became the first two players to reenter the game after previously being eliminated and they were pretty notable as well.

Let’s go to Vanuatu next where we have Chris who shockingly hasn’t been asked back for a future season. From Palau, Coby and Ian both were great players who cost themselves in some way the game. From Guatemala, I think that Cindy, Gary, Jamie, and Rafe were all great players who have not returned again for future seasons. Then we get to Panama. That had Shane who is a likable crazy guy. Next is Cook Islands. That had Billy and Anh-Tuan, the latter who affected the game so much, we still see his plan voodoo used today. Or, I think we do, but it might have been a while. From Fiji, Earl was sort of a stand out, although not many people from the season did stand out. Next is China. Jamie is a bit of a stand out, but I didn’t like the cast of this season that much.

Next is Micronesia. That had Jason and Natalie as stand out players. Then we have Gabon. That had Marcus and Ken as notable players. Next is Tocantins. Sierra, Taj, and Brendan all had notable games when they played that. From Samoa, we had Brett and Erik was stood out a lot.

Let’s go to Nicaragua next. That had Jane, Marty, and Fabio as notable, one-time players. The next season is Redemption Island. That had Ashley, Matt, and Mike as noteworthy players. Next is South Pacific. That had Mikayla, Edna, Christine, and Elyse. Next is One World. That had Leif, Tarzan, and Sabrina. The next season is in the Philippines. That had Sarah and Zane as notable players even though neither lasted that long. That can be part of why the season is so good.

From Caramoan, we had Michael, Reynold, and Eddie as players that I liked if no one else did. From Blood versus Water, we have John, Marissa, and Caleb. From Cagayan, we have Brice, Jeremy, J’Tia, and Trish who were all notable to me in some way. From San Juan del Sur, we have Jon Misch, Reed, and Josh. From Worlds Apart, we have Mike. From Kaoh Rong, we have Neal. From Millennials versus Gen X, we have David, Brett, and Adam.

Well, that’s all I can think of for this post. Maybe I should have gone into more details with some of these people. I don’t know if all of them will remain one hit wonders, especially those who have played the most recently. I might update this later in the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Potential Blood versus Water Returning Players

When you think of the Blood versus Water seasons, you’d have to who else could work for a season like that. I think that there are a lot of other potential people who could return to play in a season like this should they ever do it again. Who would work? Well, this post will speculate just that.

Let’s start with the Borneo season. I’d love to see Greg play with his sister, although I doubt that he’ll return to play again. Gretchen was considered for Blood versus Water, but I don’t know who she would have ended up playing it with. From Australia, Jerri could be a good player and was considered for the original Blood versus Water. If they could get Rodger back, I’d love to see him with a child of his or some descendant. Seeing Jeff Varner and a boyfriend of his (if he has one at the time) would be nice. Another contestant from this season considered for Blood versus Water was Amber.

Contestants from Africa who were considered for Blood versus Water were Kelly, Lex, and Tom. I’d also like to see Teresa back. From Marquesas, they invited back Boston Rob. I’d also like to see John, Neleh, and Paschal back. From Thailand, I’d like to see Jake back. From Amazon, I’d like to see Rob back, although I’d doubt he’d return since he has his podcast. Christy would be a good choice. From Pearl Islands, Sandra was considered for Blood versus Water. I can’t think of really good choices for this type of season from Pearl Islands, not knowing much about the cast’s family.

Skipping to Vanuatu, Eliza was considered to play Blood versus Water with her mother but that didn’t end up happening. I’d love for Chris to play this with his wife that he lied to about his placement in the game. From Palau, Bobby Jon and Tom were offered to play Blood versus Water. I’d like to see Coby play again, but I don’t know who he’d play with. From Guatemala, Cindy and Jamie were offered to play with their twins. Judd from that season also had a twin and could play again. (I think that it was Judd and am pretty sure that at least one, if not two other people besides Cindy and Jamie have twins from that season.) Rafe would make a great player, but I don’t think that he will return since he is too busy working right now.

From Panama, Shane and Terry were both offered to play with their sons. I could also see Bruce playing this again. From Cook Islands, Jonathan and Parvati were considered for the cast of Blood versus Water. I’d think that Billy, Nate, and Anh-Tuan would be good players from that season as well. From Fiji, Yau-Man was considered for the Blood versus Water season. Rita would probably make a good player as well. From China, Peih-Gee would make a good player for Blood versus Water.

From Micronesia, I’d pick Natalie. From Gabon, I’d go with Ken and Gillian. From Tocantins, I’d go with Taj even though I don’t think she’d play again. From Samoa, I’d go with Brett and Natalie as players. I don’t really have that strong reasoning behind any of these picks.

Skipping to Nicaragua, Marty, Jane, and Holly were all considered for the first Blood versus Water but didn’t wind up playing it. I’d also like to see Brenda return. From Redemption Island, Ashley was considered for the main season and could have played if she found a partner she was able to compete with. I’d also think that Mike would be a good pick from that season. From South Pacific, Edna was considered for Blood versus Water but didn’t wind up playing. I’d also like to see Dawn and Mikayla back.

From One World, Chelsea and Troyzan were considered for the first go around at this. I’d also like to see Sabrina back. From Philippines, Denise was considered for the season and RC was almost nearly on the season before being cut at the last minute when her father couldn’t play it. I’d also think that Lisa would be a good pick too. From Caramoan, Reynold was asked back for this season. I’d also go with Eddie as well.

I don’t think that I can pick anyone from the original Blood versus Water season. I realize that I could continue to future seasons from here, so I will. But I won’t be picking someone from San Juan del Sur and I’m not going to mention all returning player seasons.

From Cagayan, I’d pick Spencer, Jeremiah, Trish, and Kass. From Worlds Apart, I’d pick Mike. From Kaoh Rong, I’d pick Tai, Neal, and Peter. From Millennials versus Gen X, I’d pick Adam, David, Zeke, Brett, and Jessica. Those are all my picks.

Well, that’s all for this blog post. There isn’t that much else to state outside of this mostly waste of a paragraph. This is Adam’s blog post, where a bunch of stuff happens and do do da dee. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Survivor: Heroes versus Healers versus Hustlers with all Returning Players

As I’m starting to write this, I don’t yet know whether or not I will finish writing this and come up with this made up version of this season or not. You’d think that I’d be able to come up with enough ideas, but maybe I won’t. I guess we’ll see. If you are seeing this on my blog, then I did come up with people for this cast. Anyways, what would this season be like if all returning players did it? Well, I guess that we’ll have to see what my idea is. Also, I’m going to have to keep the heroes tribe different than how I did it with my new version of heroes versus villains. I’ll have to come up with extra heroes to share for both posts in the end. I also realize that the healers tribe may be tough to cast so I should hopefully think of good things if you’re seeing this at all.

Male heroes: Yau-Man (Fiji, Micronesia): While he was sinister in some ways, he is overall a nice person and good player worthy of the heroes tribe. Mike (Redemption Island): He heroically fought through many challenges after the merge and I like him especially since Matt, I mean, Wyatt, isn’t going to return again. Hayden (Blood versus Water): He played one of the best social games ever and is overall a good guy for the most part.

Female heroes: Darrah (Pearl Islands): She is a pretty good person who could have won her season if it weren’t for an immunity twist towards the end. Natalie (Samoa): She played a great and underrated game about beat other, villainous players. Christine (South Pacific): I want to pick another great person who did great at Redemption Island.

Alternate Male heroes: Dirk (Borneo), Tom (Africa, All-Stars), Ethan (Africa, All-Stars), Paschal (Marquesas), Ted (Thailand), Chris (Vanuatu), Ian (Palau), Gary (Guatemala), Earl (Fiji), Bob (Gabon), Erik (Samoa), Brett (Samoa), Grant (Redemption Island), Reynold (Caramoan), Mike (Worlds Apart), Neal (Kaoh Rong), Adam (Millennials versus Gen X)

Alternate Female heroes: Coleen (Borneo), Christy (Amazon), Peih-Gee (China, Cambodia), Sierra (Tocantins), Taj (Tocantins), Jane (Nicaragua), Ashley (Redemption Island), Lisa (Philippines), Katie (Blood versus Water)

Male healers: Sean (Borneo): He was a doctor when he played and even, unknowingly help the first alliance be a success. John (Marquesas): I’d love to see him play again since he was a great player. Eddie (Caramoan): I wanted a fan from Caramoan even though most people don’t like that season.

Female healers: Margaret (Guatemala): She fits into this category based on her job and you’d think that they’d pick someone from this season eventually. Edna (South Pacific): I forget how she is a healer, but she is one of the few players that I like from this season, so I figure that she should return at some point. Denise (Philippines): She’s a therapist and that would be what I’d want for this season.

Alternate Male healers: Tom (Palau, Heroes versus Villains), Jim (Guatemala), Marcus (Gabon), Mick (Samoa), Jeremy (San Juan del Sur, Cambodia), Wes (San Juan del Sur), Keith (San Juan del Sur, Cambodia), Peter (Kaoh Rong)

Female healers: Tina (Australia, All-Stars, Blood versus Water), Stephannie (Cook Islands), Candice (Cook Islands, Heroes versus Villains, Blood versus Water), Gillian (Gabon), Kelly Bruno (Nicaragua), Brenda (Nicaragua, Caramoan), Jill (Nicaragua), Ashley (Redemption Island)

Male hustlers: Shane (Panama): Here is a player who knew how to irritate people. Yet he also knew how to play others. Jonathan (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Philippines): He is one of the all time greatest players in my mind and should return sometime. Brad (Blood versus Water, Game Changers): He would want to see if he can do well in the future so he could be back.

Female hustlers: Lillian (Pearl Islands): Maybe she would fit in a different tribe, but I think that she would work best here. Natalie (Micronesia): She knew how to work with others although she’s not really on their side. Kass (Cagayan, Cambodia): I love her even though she is often evil.

Alternate Male hustlers: Richard (Borneo, All-Stars), Lex (Africa, All-Stars), Burton (Pearl Islands), Coby (Palau), Ken (Gabon), John (Samoa), Marty (Nicaragua), Phillip (Redemption Island, Caramoan), Tony (Cagayan, Game Changers)

Alternate Female hustlers: Alicia (Australia, All-Stars), Vecepia (Marquesas), Shii Ann (Thailand, All-Stars), Twila (Vanuatu), Corinne (Gabon), Ciera (Blood versus Water, Cambodia, Game Changers), Sarah (Cagayan, Game Changers), Hali (Worlds Apart, Game Changers)

Well, that’s all for this blog post of mine. I guess that’s all I really need to say for this. I’m sorry that the last post was as lame as it was and I need to work more to make sure other posts are published in the future. We’ll see what all ends up happening in the future, although it should be Wednesday posts every week until the show returns. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Survivor Suggestions that will Never Happen

Fans will never know how to do Survivor any better than the actual people who do it. Fans should not ever be in charge of producing the show they know and love. Although it does work out some rare times, typically, it doesn’t. So, this blog post will go through various suggestions that people have had that will probably never happen.

Gay versus straight: Different people have suggested this as the theme of a season, but most admit that it is too controversial an idea to consider. The division by race back in Cook Islands didn’t go over well even though tons of contestants like the twist. An idea like this would go over worse.

Survivor Redo: This season would just basically be the producers starting a new season with all of the old contestants from the same, previous season. This isn’t a practical idea. Plus, enough people would hate the idea of a certain group playing twice when many fans haven’t even played once.

Survivor in a cold place: Let’s just ignore the fact that they won’t be getting women in bikinis if they do this. Survivor is a plenty dangerous thing to do, even if newer seasons seem less dangerous at times. It is far more difficult to survive in a cold place and there is no way that this could work in the long term plan of the show. It could wind up with more medical evacuations than Kaoh Rong. I just don’t see it working, even as its own spin-off.

Well, starting out, I thought that I would have more to this post, but I don’t. I guess that I’ll have to work harder on other posts and you’ll see what I wind up saying then. I also don’t know yet if I’ll get Survivor: Gabon for myself on DVD or not. Maybe. Maybe not. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Top Ten Redeemed Starting Tribes Post Merge

Sometimes a tribe does poorly before the merge, but is able to turn things around after the merge. When this happens, the originally poorly performing tribe could be considered redeemed in a way. What are the best tribes to have turned things around after the merge? Well, I might as well tell you.

#10 Fang (Gabon): Okay, so this one wasn’t an entire change that went all the way to the win. But due to what some may call sheer dumb luck and others called rigged via the second tribe swap, the Fang tribe, specifically the second swapped one, did a whole lot better after the merge. They may not have won the game in the end, but it did improve for a lot of them.

#9 Jaburu (Amazon): This isn’t that much of a notable one given the randomness of eliminations after the merge happened. But they did enter into the merge with less numbers yet still were able to pick off some of the opposing tribe and then produced the first ever landslide winner of the series.

#8 Luzon (Cagayan): When the season started out, it seemed as if the brains tribe was really the dumb tribe and it suffered from various infighting and lost half of its members within the first four tribal councils. Somehow, the other half of the tribe comprised half of the players who made it to the final six of the game and even though they didn’t come out from behind and win, they still proved a force to be reckoned with as the game went on.

#7 Tagi (Borneo): While it seems that the two tribes were evenly matched before the merge, there were enough problems to think that this was the tribe doing worse. However, after the merge, this tribe dominated so much that the other tribe went down in infamy as one that just couldn’t stick together. This shows how a group of people can stick together and pick off the other tribe one by one even though there were fractures in this tribe’s alliance.

#6 Ogakor (Australia): Amber said it best we she wondered why the tribe was always losing. This tribe may have had an advantage over the other tribes as they were able to enter the merge with even numbers after the other tribe had a member pulled from the game. They were also able to get out the exact right member due to tie-breaker rules that they knew and the other tribe didn’t. Even while picking off various members of their own tribe, they were still able to enter the final three as a whole and succeed even while losing a lot before the merge happened.

#5 Matsing (Philippines): This tribe was so bad and pathetic, losing every challenge it competed in and getting dissolved as a result. And yet, the two people who remained from it came back together after the merge and helped the other alliances turn on each other while staying together as a whole until the final four tore them apart. But for those two people to outlast every member of another tribe and one of them to win is a true accomplishment.

#4 Ravu (Fiji): It wasn’t entirely this tribe’s fault that it drew the short end of the stick by losing the first challenge which got it the worst camp and the other tribe got a luxury camp instead. This caused it to lose all but one challenge in the future and nearly all of its members compared to the others. Yet after the merge, another core group of two from this tribe stuck together until breaking up at the final four. It can be hard to think of a tribe that had it worse yet could still produce the winner of the season.

#3 Maraamu (Marquesas): While not the first tribe to lose a lot before the merge, it was the first tribe to have a significant losing streak, losing a then record number of consecutive challenges and only winning after a tribe swap happened. Indeed, no member of this tribe wasn’t at one point on the other tribe by the time the merge happened, a feat that I think was only repeated once. But, everyone who was a member of this tribe managed to band together against the alliance in the game and get them voted out of the game. Then a member of the tribe won the game and that was cool too.

#2 Jalapao (Tocantins): Things seemed grim for this tribe heading into the merge with the other tribe having a majority and then losing a member due to medical evacuation. Ultimately, the other tribe soon turned on each other and was soon the minority itself with this tribe turning out on top.

What could the number 1 choice be? Well, with the theme of those tribes that did poorly before the merge and then turning things around after the merge, only one tribe really stands out above the rest and there could be no other choice to top this list.

#1 Foa Foa (Samoa): This tribe sucked a lot before the merge due to Russell Hantz sabotaging it. But his influence over the game didn’t end when the tribes merged. He formed an alliance with those from his old tribe and was able to get the other tribe to turn on themselves. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late and the tribe that entered with only four people were all left by the finale even though eight people were against them at the time of the merge.

Well, that’s my next top ten and I should work on more in the future. Or I can do other posts. Just know that you will probably not be seeing any posts about Survivor: Gabon this summer, although things could change and possibly will. Whatever happens, be sure to check out this blog for your weekly dose of Survivor that you won’t see on TV right now. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Heroes versus Villains Version 2b

As the name of this blog post implies, I have already done a list like this before. But, I’ve decided to do this again. I will now be coming up with a new version of a heroes versus villains season. I figure that after all these new seasons of Survivor have aired, there are plenty of new people to choose from. So I might as well get to the cast. Another reason to update the list is because the new season will have another heroes tribe and seems quite similar to how this upcoming one could potentially work. Let’s get to the rules that I have before the casting of the season.

Rules: 1- You can’t pick anyone from the original heroes versus villains season. 2- If it isn’t clear whether someone was a hero or a villain, they can’t be picked for either tribe. 3- Only pick people that are likely in one way or another to return. 4- Pick someone originally from Guatemala since casting never does. 5- You will have twenty people for the whole season. It will be ten heroes and ten villains with ten women and ten men representing each tribe together. I think that covers all the rules. Now to the cast!

Male heroes: Chris from Vanuatu is one of my favorite winners and he played a great game. Why hasn’t he been back yet? Gary from Guatemala was a wonderful player and should return at some point. Terry from Panama and Cambodia played a rather strong game both times only to have it cut short the second time. That is why he should play again. Brett from Samoa proved a force to be reckoned with against the Foa Foa four and I think that he should return. I also really like Mike from Worlds Apart the way he beat an alliance that even called itself evil.

Female heroes: Christy from Amazon is someone that I felt was a really good player and I’m more than surprised that she hasn’t returned to play again. Sierra from Tocantins had to face off against her tribe who never liked her and I feel she should start on a better playing field this time around. Laura from Samoa and Blood versus Water is someone that I feel is a good player and should play again as a result. Jane from Nicaragua die a lot of good things when she played the game. Denise from Philippines is my last pick for hero the way she survived every tribal council.

Male villains: Richard from Borneo and All-Stars is the Survivor textbook definition of villain and should hopefully reappear at some point in time. Lex from Africa and All-Stars was someone who I felt was quite villainous at times with his personality that can be overbearing at times, yet still good enough to return again in my mind. Burton from Pearl Islands is someone that I feel should have played a second time as he proved to be a strong player when he played. Ken from Gabon was quite a sinister person, although I hope he proves to be a smarter player the second time around. Tony from Cagayan and Game Changers proved to be one of the all time greatest villains in history, even if his second time put a dent on his playing record.

Female villains: Teresa from Africa is one of my favorite classic players and I loved how she unknowingly manipulated the game and then caused further chaos afterwards. Twila from Vanuatu has many people who like her and she would make a good returning player in good time, hopefully sooner rather than later. Corinne from Gabon and Caramoan probably wouldn’t mind the label of bitch because she knows that’s what she is and she could prove to be a good player another time around. Ciera from Blood versus Water, Cambodia, and Game Changers might just be one of the greatest newer style players to be a villain. Sarah from Cagayan and Game Changers proved that flippers can win some of the time.

The cast: Richard (Borneo, All-Stars), Teresa (Africa), Lex (Africa, All-Stars), Christy (Amazon), Burton (Pearl Islands), Twila (Vanuatu), Chris (Vanuatu), Gary (Guatemala), Terry (Panama, Cambodia), Corinne (Gabon, Caramoan), Ken (Gabon), Sierra (Tocantins), Laura (Samoa, Blood versus Water), Brett (Samoa), Jane (Nicaragua), Denise (Philippines), Ciera (Blood versus Water, Cambodia, Game Changers), Sarah (Cagayan, Game Changers), Tony (Cagayan, Game Changers), Mike (Worlds Apart).

Alternate heroes: Dirk (Borneo), Tom (Africa, All-Stars), Ethan (Africa, All-Stars), Paschal (Marquesas), Ted (Thailand), Darrah (Pearl Islands), Ian (Palau), Yau-Man (Fiji, Micronesia), Earl (Fiji), Peih-Gee (China, Cambodia), Marcus (Gabon), Bob (Gabon), Taj (Tocantins), Erik (Samoa), Natalie (Samoa), Brenda (Nicaragua, Caramoan), Grant (Redemption Island), Mike (Redemption Island), Ashley (Redemption Island), Christine (South Pacific), Lisa (Philippines), Reynold (Caramoan), Eddie (Caramoan), Katie (Blood versus Water), Hayden (Blood versus Water), Jeremy (San Juan del Sur, Cambodia), Neal (Kaoh Rong), Adam (Millennials versus Gen X).

Alternate villains: Alicia (Australia, All-Stars), Vecepia (Marquesas), Shii Ann (Thailand, All-Stars), Lillian (Pearl Islands), Coby (Palau), Shane (Panama), Aras (Panama, Blood versus Water), Jonathan (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Philippines), Jean-Robert (China), Natalie (Micronesia), John (Samoa), Marty (Nicaragua), Phillip (Redemption Island, Caramoan), Brad (Blood versus Water, Game Changers), Kass (Cagayan, Cambodia), Hali (Worlds Apart, Game Changers).

Well, that’s all I can think of for this post. I’ll be back sometime with some other post. Keep a look out for other days, although it should be a Wednesday that you’ll see a new post. We’ll see. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
