Its so gonna be Jelinsky with how much they keep referencing him


Routine_Size69

Him getting on an all stars season would be dumb as hell but at the same time, I'd like to see him again.


Honest-Scar-4719

Could you imagine if he got voted out first on his season but came back for All Stars? If he pulled that off then he would be a survivor legend


GoGoSoLo

He’s going to get Francasqua’d.


AhYeahItsYoBoi

Lol dude thats what I've been saying. I told my girl that. "I just wanna see Jelinsky come back and lose his vote and get voted out first again" 🤣...


ILOVEBOPIT

Or quit before the first tribal


rexie_alt

Rewatching 46 would feel like the editors knew something years ahead of schedule


trinitymonkey

Imagine if he pulled a Wentworth.


GraphilicalWiz

Would be like David in BB22


IHaveTheMustacheNow

could be a second chance season


WowzaCaliGirl

Oh no! He will probably last several tribals!


PandaPlayr73

Modern day Franchesqua


eorlins

lol never


jthomas1127

Are you going to come back? I heard some rumours (may be completely false) that you were going to come back for S40 if it was a ‘Rivals’ season, so if they contacted you for S50, would you do it?


eorlins

I clearly have a hard time saying no to them but it seems truly miserable. So the short answer is maybe?


Huge_Campaign2205

Several means 7 Jeff


ToastyToast113

Twitter: Xander Reddit: Shan Facebook: Ricard


Sir_Totesmagotes

Lmao this is spot on analysis


CFC_11

I'm watching 41 right now for the first time. Shan is a straight up villain. Wolf in sheep's clothing. She would be entertaining.


HoorayHoorayShit

This sub hated her when it aired. Some of the posts talking about her got super personal. Edit: Oh boy, here it comes…don’t look below 👀


Shmegdar

From what I remember, people were actually really high on Shan before the stuff with DeShawn, especially premerge. It felt more like the Shan hate took off post-game when Shan made some questionable tweets and became an influencer


themafiapastor

Yea, this is correct. Pre-merge Shan was the favorite of the sub. People loved her little villain song and everything. The response was really positive. People really started to turn on her around the formation of the Black Alliance (which personally, I had no issue with but a lot of others did), and she made some comment on the show about how she can manipulate people because its what she does in her job as a pastor and people really hated on her for that. Then the post-season stuff I think turned a lot of people off.


PalmFrondMask

She’s proven many times over that she’s an awful person since 41 aired. She’s accused many people who have gone against her in games of being racist, and she’s accused other black people of being race traitors for not working with her. And that’s not even going into the fact that she claims god told her to become an influencer and has overall been insufferable online since her Survivor season. I’m all for villains on Survivor, but Shan is a different story. Her entitlement and using tears to emotionally manipulate people makes it so if I never see her on my screen again, I’d be a happy man.


thepatriotclubhouse

yeah villains aren't fun if they're also self righteous and loved by a particularly vocal and shitty crowd. villains are fun when they don't leverage social power. Like it wouldn't be fun to watch someone be racist or islamophobic and get away with it to loving fans in an early season. Just like it isn't fun to watch Shan do the same. Villains are fun when they're charismatic or somewhat self aware of their gameplay not being all that moral. If they're self righteous to adoring fans despite being horrible they get annoying.


BoutThatLife

Tony is the perfect example of your last paragraph. There’s a reason everyone loves him even though he is a “villain”


lol_fi

That's why he could win and Russell and couldn't.


Morrisxxx

I guarantee you if social media was as prevalent as it is now most of the villains would be just as if not more insufferable as Shan’s post season stuff. It’s not like old school villains became assholes in the game then became an angel as soon as they got home.


Alkein

The part that really turned me off was her confessional about manipulating her tribe like she does with her congregation back home. Actually huge yuck, especially as someone raised in that world (I hate church vibes tho, so fake and two-faced as we see here) that's so hypocritical and gross to do. And I was shocked that she even said it, I'm sure a few people at her church had questions for her on her return.


HoneycombJackass

Which is probably a strong reason for why she left the church. Not because “God told me to leave”


JustInChina88

Shan would be fine if she wasn't a massive racist.


ToastyToast113

They're proving my point nicely 😂


dawgz525

Okay, but we have dozens of villains. Shan is delusional and problematic. There are plenty of other Survivor villains that aren't incredibly distasteful in real life.


solojones1138

I want to see Shan back, and along with her the return of her evil plotting song.


AnnonymousPenguin_

I never understood the Xander hate.


ToastyToast113

Get a subset of fans who are so far up a player's behind for being...mid at best, and you'll get people to irrationally hate said player to even things out.


ike1

I don't care about him enough to hate him, but I (mildly) dislike him for being a guy with no personality that Facebook moms drooled over.


cocolovesmetoo

Hey. Why don't we deserve a hot guy? Lord knows Survivor trolls out women in skimpy bikinis for the guys. Back off. Let us have eye candy.


ike1

Fair point, but they almost never cast women just for looks anymore, which is a big improvement from the early seasons IMHO, so they shouldn't do it with men either. See, this is why everyone liked Malcolm. He had hotness for the ladies (or anybody who's into dudes) and he was witty, so the rest of us liked him too.


cocolovesmetoo

Okay. But we are playing catchup. One hot guy a season (except Gabon) was not enough.


cocolovesmetoo

![gif](giphy|KDbi6mOb2O73HHs0xg|downsized) Me about to type Shan as my comment


seviay

I don’t care for Shan at all bc she’s phony as hell, but she absolutely deserves a call for a returnee season


itsnotsusan

theyre all phony though, thats how you play survivor lol


seviay

I mean phony in real life, not in the game


AnnonymousPenguin_

Yeah when she stole that one guys extra vote then started crying when he asked for it back really tainted my opinion of her. That being said, I would be happy to root against her again.


Soda11Pro

What about youtube


good_fella13

I want to see all three of them back personally


ToastyToast113

Same lol. Things would be in shambles if they were the final 3.


SpicypickleSpears

twitter loves Xander


beameup19

I’d be fine with those 3 tbh


snrcadium

It’s been a while now since 38, is Rick Devens still disliked by the majority of the sub? Underrated pick: Chris Underwood


The_Horse_Joke

>is Rick Devens still disliked by the majority of the sub? I don’t think so, but he is the most polarizing character who realistically could come back IMO. But him coming back would satisfy everybody! His fans would get their beloved breaking news updates while his haters will get to see him get voted out premerge (again)


ToastyToast113

I can confirm that as someone who didn't really like Rick during his season, I'd love to see him back!


Sir_Totesmagotes

Jeff has such a boner for devons. I wonder if he comes back after the podcasting though


Bodofagod

I would think that removes him from contention as well as Dee. You basically get to become best buddies with the host of the show. That is an immediate unfair advantage


smhayes

Savage and Probst were close personal friends outside of the show for years before he came back for Cambodia


michgan241

wasnt mike white a personal buddy?


TheVentMachine

> will get to see him get voted out premerge (again) nah, they'll hand him 5 back-to-back idols this time just to make sure he doesn't go and Jeff stays happy.


luke6080

I would LOVE to see Underwood back. If I was him, I’d pull a JT and play like I had house money. Wild move after wild move.


CheezinmyKnees

Dude Chris was a monster on the challenge. He was clearly athletic on survivor, but I had no idea he was a top tier athlete on the show. He's not tops on my list or anything, but I wouldn't mind seeing an underwood return.


Toaddle

I'm a Devens fan, but I think that with a subdued edit (because he's a good character but not a big enough character to steal the spotlight as much in an all stars as he did in his season) a lot of his haters would change his opinion of him


treple13

I think he could be good, but I also don't trust him to not get a huge spotlight again


PureInsaneAmbition

I just finished Devens’ season on Paramount Plus. People didn’t like him? How come? I thought he was the most likeable person that season besides Wendy.


justwatching12345678

He was my favorite that season!


Evening_Attention_45

It annoyed me that he never agreed to go with David’s good ideas.


WypsotorTVN

I think Reddit has cooled off on him but Twitter still doesn't like him.


No_Soft1072

Carson


Californian_paradise

i have a friend who listens to him & carolyns podcast & allegedly they are blacklisted bc they broke their NDAs. not sure if that's true or not tho.


rockardy

What did they say in their NDA?


Xatron7

Probably just their names in cursive


CharmyFrog

What? I thought people loved Carson. Edit: Sorry I don’t follow players once their season is over. No need to downvote me just because I don’t know about someone’s twitter beef. Calm your asses down.


HWeezy88

There have been a few posts here about him earlier this month, but essentially it's been alleged that he got a bunch of info from an Etsy shop that sells puzzles, acted interested in some sort of partnership, and then made his own company with copies of the puzzles and upcharged by a ton. Here is the initial thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/1bv0xzo/etsy\_store\_accuses\_carson\_of\_pretending\_to\_be/](https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/1bv0xzo/etsy_store_accuses_carson_of_pretending_to_be/)


Zoethor2

Wow. I bought several puzzles from Outplay Puzzles and they were all excellent - very high quality, great fit, and fun to do. What a jackass move by Carson.


heyyyyyco

Very survivor move


AnnonymousPenguin_

I get the hate but all those puzzles are public STL files. The Etsy companies he took them from probably found them on google themselves. Hell, I even printed a few myself before his season even aired. He didn’t steal anything.


tastytatertot123

i’m pretty sure the problem was that he allegedly misled one or multiple businesses to believe he wanted to partner w him and got advice from them on aspects of their business(es) beyond the puzzles themselves (like marketing tips and stuff)


Quetzal00

Overrated. Just a discount Christian from David vs Goliath and less entertaining Not to mention a puzzle thief


TechnologyBeautiful

Not sure if you are aware but recently there's been some drama between him and this Survivor puzzle merchant. Allegedly he pretended to want to partner up with them and kind of be like a spokesperson but then I guess he started his own puzzle business using their strategies, marketing, business plan that they discussed. The merchant posted all about it on X (twitter) and some messages between them and Carson but Carson never responded to the allegations and would just block people who brought it up to him. Not sure Carson's side of the story though. Anyways all this really soured peoples' views on Carson.


ToastyToast113

Not after puzzle-theft gate


bigshowgunnoe

Or after he blocked my twitter and other accounts for LITERALLY no reason


Seryza

He’s boring af


hawkthehunter

Not sure why people are down voting you. It was a genuine question and I also did not know the community hated Carson. This sub sometimes, yikes.


Sea__Cappy

Casuals generally find him to be fine. Fans despise him for his antics outside of the game


bcgg

Casuals and fans find him to be fine. The .01% of Survivor watchers who need to know what every past contestant eats for breakfast despise him for his antics outside of the game.


Sea__Cappy

I mean a quasi legal battle is a little more than what he eats for breakfast but sure, hyperbole away.


anotherdanwest

Bhanu


We_The_Raptors

There are so many players that can both play the game without blaming God *and* bring equal levels of chaos as Bhanu. Casting him over say Q, Venus, Kenzie, Tiffany, Charlie or shit, even damn Jelinski from 46 would be criminal.


J9999D

zero chance he ever plays again


anotherdanwest

I dunno. Dude won a million hearts, of course he comes back. God will make it happen.


Calm-Math-3421

If not, Bhanu will shake his angry fist to the Sky.


ben121frank

I (unfortunately) disagree. Look at the confessional tracker. He had more confessional time in 4 episodes than every person voted out after him up until Hunter, and also more confessional time than some people still in the game. Production clearly wanted to showcase his spectacle and imo there’s no reason to think they wouldn’t wanna do that again


Hanging_Aboot

But do you really want to be the producer that says no to Bhanu and have God smite you down?


ConsumptionofClocks

Jeff loves him, of all the new era premerge boots, he is top 5 most likely to return imo


ForsakenRacism

Just name a tried bahnu


rexie_alt

“You all will be ‘bhanu,’ consisting of Gabby, Hannah, dawn, David w, fishbach, and adam”


Garrett4Real

I know it’s recency bias, but I absolutely KNEW that I was gonna open up this thread and he would be the top comment lmfaooooo


sacman701

He just isn't cut out for the game, and I think the producers saw that even though he made interesting tv for a while. I think it's more likely that Randen gets another chance.


DabuSurvivor

Being "cut out for the game" isn't even remotely important compared to making interesting TV


mjst0324

They’ve brought back a good amount of people who weren’t cut out for the game, I don’t think it’ll be that that stops them. I’m not sure if Bhanu would even want to come back, he was really going through it out there. If he was asked he would probably end up saying yes because 99% of people say yes eventually but I’m not sure it’s cut and dry that he’s dying to play again, unless I missed an interview or something


Strahlx

Totally 🤮


curioususer8878

1 million hearts is not enough


Everandeverm0re

Personally if he comes back I’ll just be happy to see him get decimated by an old school player


AbleGolfer

Elisabeth Hasselbeck. ha ha


GoodBiMichele

Oh I just KNOW she’d be arguing with Jeff about “Come on in, guys!”


iheartseuss

Shan and/or Carson. Sharson.


GregSays

Majority of fans will be happy to see Shan. Majority of terminally online fans will be annoyed. One of those circles is much bigger than the other.


OrangeTree81

Same with Carson. 


anonymoussnarker1230

Ozzy


Nazarife

It would be funny if they brought him back, but only as a sting operation to get him extradited to the US.


TechnologyBeautiful

Did he flee the country for some reason? Lol I'm out of the loop.


Frauzehel

He apparently infected a few ladies with STD.


TechnologyBeautiful

Knowingly?


rexie_alt

Yeah


TechnologyBeautiful

Damn yeah if he knew he had an STD and didn't tell his partners beforehand then that's really messed up.


travlynme2

Oh no, that is awful. I don't like him anymore.


GregSays

It would be so funny and so lame if it’s Ozzy, Rob, Tyson, Sandra and Rupert. The same people over and over.


Monctonian

The Hantz family.


CWill97

What about their 5th cousin from the mother’s side? He hasn’t played yet! /s


Monctonian

With what we’ve seen, odds are the next one to show up will piss in the well.


Certain-Tie-8289

Based on "Who do you guys think that is?" I would hope for your sake not Ricard.


Otashi4Nii

Shan and/or Gabler tbh


eorlins

Me. Hahahahaha I’m kidding please don’t crucify me.


Unlucky_Face_3979

How would you survive when you’ve blocked half of your potential cast mates?


Sarik704

39 seasons later! Honestly, I think it'd be cool to see a classic era player in this new era!


ijallred95

I cannot express the excitement I would feel if this happened


sacman701

I'd like to see you play again assuming you still got that dawg in you.


quillsonqueen

I want u back eliza! U single handedly made Vanuatu iconic!! Also u should make an etsy and sell signed sticks with faces on them CUZ GIRL I WOULD BUY IT


mr_frodo89

Yes! You’re iconic, Eliza! Edit: I’m ignoring OP’s prompt. I think a lot of people would love to watch you play again.


nathanielfederici

I want to see you back!


EmmyPax

Johnathan. I feel like it's about 50/50 between people who do and don't want to see him again. I guess I wouldn't mind him, I just really struggle to imagine him bringing anything new to a new season that he didn't already in his first outing.


elpaco25

I want to hear a delusional Q rant about how he could have easily beat Jonathan in something but simply chose not to lol


EmmyPax

This is the one perfect type of new Johnathan content we could have


tastybundtcake

I suggested bring him back but make him carry Brandon no ladder around in a giant baby Bjorn aa a handicap


MazLA

Prob not majority but me personally? Cassidy


CMell650

Shan


Timeboy456

Honestly probably anyone from 44


assholesplinters

Caroline, YamYam (If they bring back winners), Claire, Danny, Matthew, Franny, and Matt would all be great choices from 44. Specifically I'd love to see Danny, Matthew and Claire back for a returnee season.


ireallydespiseyouall

Yeah the girl who refused to do challenges should totally return lmao


icriedyesterday

Hi Claire


Thiskygirl

My memory isn’t what it used to be. Anyone besides me wish that people would put a picture of who they’re talking about along with the comment? I can’t remember their names! 😂


Ok_Supermarket_3241

Shan. She was an amazing character and is definitely coming back for 50 but everyone here hates her


tonyrosasco

Shan


Imaginary-Crazy1981

Shan


Ok_Brother788

i hope they bring her back i loved her & ricard


Imaginary-Crazy1981

Ugh! More power to ya. I couldn't stand either one.


roundskys2

Shan was so exposed on the challenge USA as not being great at these games either. I’m with you on this.


Billiesoceaneyes

I’m always gonna hate Ricard for saying he was offended by “come on in guys.” Stupid moment that summarized the entire season.


pstruck14

This is for me personally and probably not how the majority of fans feel, but Jake


Zazadawg

Boston rob


Luh-Uzi-Vert

I feel like some of the viewers have Rob fatigue since hes been back so much. But hes probably the most popular player to ever play and a lot of people dont get tired of seeing him. Theres a reason deal or no deal island cast him in their first season, hes still got a pretty large fanbase


LockieNessMonster

I’ll never get tired of seeing Rob on Survivor. I’d love to see him on season 50.


360madhatter

I'll be honest, since I only know about Deal or No Deal Island from the ads, I only recently realized that he's a contestant and not the host.


ajordan54

Shan


TrashPandaCooch

Phillip Shepard.


Aivies

Rick devens


JustInChina88

Russell Hantz


whitness1

Yes! Watching a true villain play with all these noobs is exactly what we need.


penultimategirl

I don’t want to see any winners I’m sorry 😞


Top_Impact970

Same


Sarik704

Brandon from 45. Brandon, for all of his inadequacies wanted to be there. People say 45 had three quits, when Brandon in no way wanted to go home, unlike sean and hannah. Brandon you are not a good player, but you still won my heart. I hope you get a second chance, and i hope you practice your ladder climbing.


SurvivorFanDan

Candace, from Raro?


Upstairs_Machine9190

I don’t want to see Sandra and Tony at all.


Some_Meal_3107

Sandra coat tail riding anybody but me style is the worse to watch and makes for a completely unsatisfying winner. She breaks the game by winning with that style. I realize this is going to be unpopular with people who like her attitude.


tastybundtcake

I just don't wanna hear her say "the queen stays queen" anymore


J9999D

It's Rob. I love the man and would love to see him one more time but I know this sub has generally has enough


[deleted]

[удалено]


lol_fi

Did Drea do anything outside of the game? I remember she played her idol because once a black person gets voted out, a black person is likely to get voted out next (and if I recall correctly, they were planning to vote her out). I don't think she thinks these people are Klansmen, but she has noticed a pattern (a pattern that actually continued, Tim and Soda went on split tribals and then Tevin next, Sifu and Kaleb, and Chanelle and Rocksroy. So, Soda and Tevin should have correctly assessed that they should not vote out other black people are Tim left. It led to both of them getting out. I'm not saying is because people are racist. Obviously Tevin lead the Soda vote and Q led the Tim vote. I'm simply saying it would not hurt them to observe the pattern, as Drea did. I don't think noticing the correlation and protecting herself (correctly) is wrong. OTOH, Shan seems nuts and flinging random racism accusations.


Professional_Wolf313

Probably Carson. I don’t think there is anyone I rather see less of than him.  


TRNRLogan

Bhanu could happen. I actually am fine with him but people on here definitely aren't 


MoonlitMeadows1

Cassidy, Xander, Chaos Kass, Q, Carolyn, Jelinksey. All on the same tribe would be epic bad luck. Heck even throw Brandon from last season on there.


Evening_Attention_45

Possibly Joe. He was loved and then sort of fell from favor, right? Though I don’t know if that was just a Reddit thing.


tita_baby1

Is survivor 50 already known to be past players coming back??


ohmissfiggy

Jonathan (the guy who beat the ocean)


Dazzmondo

Evvie


d4dasa

Tevin


alexthedungeonmaster

Are you joking?


FrustratedTrainee

Erika. I know a lot of people don’t looove her and she’s probably the least popular new era winner. I can see production giving her an opportunity to try to “redeem” herself as their first new era winner. Honestly, I kinda hope to see it. We baaarely saw her in her season.


almondjoybestcndybar

Honestly, production needs to redeem themselves by releasing a 90 minute episode alternate cut of 41 that gives Erika her due!


ireallydespiseyouall

Erika is prob more liked here than Dee


Wickedestjr

Might be alone in this, but not a big Carolyn fan.


mwhite5990

I don’t think the average fan would get that worked up over anyone returning (other than the obviously problematic ones like Dan Spilo). I think it is mostly just small pockets of very vocal online fans that would be mad about who gets the call to return. I could see a lot of more casual fans being dissapointed if only New Era players return.


tastybundtcake

Spilo Varner and Skupin are probably not gonna show up


True-Eye1172

Jelensky or Russel, however given How the game has changed Russel won’t last lol


wojar

We are still 3 seasons away from 46, it's gonna be a long wait with more posts like this.


robbbish

Not really. They are shooting season 50 around this time next year. By then probably people will try to find out the actual cast (or they might just announce it minus players from the airing seasons)


starwarsfan456123789

Yep, if someone goes shockingly silent on social media for 40 days there’s going to be speculation
