The female list is sososooooo good!
I had serious trouble picking the last few spots and I will be happy with basically any combination.
As for the males, I had trouble finding my last few picks
Most of them were uninteresting or just very average players. Anyway, here are my top 10s (in order):
Females:1. Stephanie Valencia - my instant pick!
She was such a smart player that got voted out hell too soon and also very appealing - I've been craving for her to get a second chance eversince!
2. Carolyn Rivera - my favourite of the current season since episode 1. I don't care if my votes get flushed if she ends up winning WA, can't miss the chance of having her back in case she doesn't!
3. Peih-Gee Law - omg what a great player from a really good (and quite old) season! She has been cut from several returnee seasons and I don't doubt that she'll be on this one!
4. Tasha Fox - I adored her in Cagayan, what a challenge beast and I think she still has lots of unrevealed potential!
5. Shirin Oskooi - she is such a fun person and I love superfans making the show! She was treated miserably the first time and make many mistakes, so she needs to come back!
6. Abi-Maria Gomes - a classic villain and I know she wants to redeem herself and not be so nasty, so let's give her a shot! There will still be drama I'm sure
7. Kass McQuillen - Kass is also a very interesting an unique character, who I hope gets on and delivers again with her chaos
8. Teresa "T-Bird" Cooper - I actually haven't seen Africa!
But she is so adorable and I know she has wanted to get back on the show for years, so pleease let her make it! We need more older contestants, too!
9. Monica Padilla - this was a very hard one, but I realised that I was actually excited to see her in the running and she quite sassy! Everyone in Samoa was deprived of airtime due to Russell... being there..
so I think she has a lot to show.
10. Kelly Wiglesworth - at first, I had picked Ciera instead, but then I realised I really liked her in her video (even though I haven't seen Borneo, too
) and she is survivor classic, who didn't want to return before, so I actually want her to be back more than Ciera, who I think will come back in the future anyway.
Males..:1. Spencer Bledsoe - the survivorgod, who played an incredible game and was my favourite to win all the way! He should really come back now, and then again in the future!
2. Jeremy Collins - not as many people seem to have liked him in SJDS as I thought, but I thought he was going to win up until the moment he was voted out. He went too early, as he said, was just getting his feet wet and if he comes back, we will have fireworks I think.
3. Stephen Fishbach - yaay for the RHAP podcaster returning!! No doubt his fanbase will power vote and he will most likely get on. I think he would dominate the game, as probably few would target him early, and he has grown so much and become much much more smarter since Tocantins.
4. Shane Powers - Shane HAS to get on! He has been cut at the last minute many times and he needs a break in his life! Plus he is soo funny and will provide great TV moments :Lol:
5. Vytas Baskauskas - He was not my favourite, but also a unique character and I think I'm biased due to him being Lithuanian
I believe he will make it and will play a good strategic game
6. Terry Deitz - My memory of him has faded a little, but I remember really liking him in Panama! I'd like to see how he plays now, being even older.
7. Brad Culpepper - this was where I didn't really know who to pick anymore. I kinda liked Brad and he played aggressively from the get-go, but I think that's what he's not smart about. Maybe he has learned and will improve, but I wouldn't be sad if he didn't even make it.
8. Troy "Troyzan" Robertson - I'm kinda meh towards Troyzan, but he was indeed one of the few characters on One World, so I hope he has learned from his social mistakes (he seems to) and will do even better this time around. Though I kinda doubt he'll get on...
9. Joe Anglim - he has a lot to improve on, but he's a recent player that the casual viewers adored, so there's no doubt he'll be on.
10. Jim Rice - if it wasn't for the others fans and Probst, I don't think I would've voted for him. I don't remember him really interesting me in SoPa, but he seems to have potential to be a conniving player.
Both of them.
Well, then there are 11 in your list
