Well following on from Survivor 24: One World.. is going to be the Philippines.

It's going to have 3 tribes, and each tribe will be headed up by somebody who has been previously medevac'ed from the past 24 seasons of survivor.

Returning players are: Jonathan Penner, Michael (Skupin) from Australia and Russell Swan from Samoa

[Marc]

I know this is early but I don't care I want a place where all rumours can be discussed

[BBfanUSA]

It's Jonathan who had an infection in FvF. Russell from Samoa and the guy who fell in the fire in Austrailia.

Ew whyd they have to pick two bores..... Russel was the captain of the most boring tribe ever to play the game ( Minus Shambo )
And Michael was ok but not even close to all star worthy
Penners the only justifiable person imho
And why do they only bring back men in these twists?
Russel,Boston Rob, Coach, Ozzy, The more boring russel of samoa, Jonathan and Mike
How about bringing back Naonka, Sierra, Kat etc

[Roy Mars III]

Penner would be great.'


There are only a small handful of interesting female survivor players, so that's why it's mostly men being brought back

But Russel ? Really?

[swinearefine]

What an innovative twist, more returnees. What makes it worse is you know the returnees will be boring men that Jeff has a hard-on for just like in S22 and 23.

Another season I shan't be watching.

on mikes twitter he posts quite a lot but theres a huge gap from march 11- april 27 .... hmmmm....

Galu was one of the best tribes ever (better than Foa Foa without question) and suffered from extreme under-editing because of Russell Hantz.

And Michael was actually amazing and one of the best characters in Outback (and that says a lot considering the number of great characters that season) so they're completely warranted choices ^_^ If anything, Penner's the one I'm least excited about since he's already played twice.

[SoBig]

If Russell had stayed healthy. I doubt Russell Hantz would have dominated Samoa like he did.

But why bring back two no names? At least bring back some star power. I get Penner, but Russell and Mike?

[LemonJam]

only returnees I'd want to see are Jonathan Penner and Bruce. I have complete indifference over the rest of them and I can never understand what James Clement says.

[Macie Lightfoot]

It's a shame that people only remember Mike Skupin as the guy who fell the fire and not as the crazy psychopath he was for the whole premerge.

Brett, Shambo, Monica, Dave, Laura, Kelly, Erik, Russell, Yasmin? The only one who sucked was was John. 9/10's pretty impressive ^_^

[Marc]

I'm happy with Penner.. I think he'll have a lot of fans willing him on

Brett Sucked.
Shambo was GREAT.
Monica SUCKED
Dave had his moments
Laura SUCKED
Kelly was a bore
Erik SUCKED
Russell...SUCKED
Yasmin was ok but gone too soon to tell really
John SUCKED

So AT BEST 3/10 are acceptable

[Macie Lightfoot]

Actually they're all acceptable except for John. Galu just suffered from getting an AWFUL edit. The way Samoa was edited made the season suck. Foa Foa was an awful tribe and they received all the airtime because they edited it into the Russell Hantz show and Galu was rarely shown. Samoa had potential to be one of the best seasons if the editing was more balanced and focused more on the dynamics of Galu. Just because a tribe was extremely underedited doesn't mean that they're not amazing.

[Marc]

I really liked Samoa

[Marc]

Might rewatch it

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Why hate Brett he was clearly going to win if he won the final immunity, and I wanted him to. It sucked they showed nothing of him until the last 2 episodes, he seemed like a cool dude. Is it true that when he lost the final immunity he basically prepared Natalie, telling her what to say too the jury, and as soon as he went to the jury place he told everyone to vote for Natalie?

Anyway on the return people, I dont mind them, Mick was a psycho is 2, Russell was kinda boring, but its always sad when someone has to leave like that, and Jonathan was a interesting one in cooks (have not seen fans vs fav yet).

[lostalex]

wait, so has this season been filmed yet? does anyone know?

[Captain.Remy]

I'm sick of bringing old players back. I mean, really CBS? Not having enough interesting people casting?

However, nice to see Survivor is moving from Oceania. Good change.

Hmm I dunno, I'd assume they weren't yet cos Jeff was in America for the finale (yeah he could've just flown over but surely they wouldn't have risked a TC delay for flights)

[Macie Lightfoot]

It filmed already.

[iRyan]

I wanna know why the **** they only bring back male Survivors.
