People were talking about a Second Chance season on here, which I'm all for. I feel like this could be likely, due to Colton placing where he did, and they'd want an excuse to have him back. I know Survivor treats there premerge boots pretty poorly, but some of them were heavily interesting. Anyway, here's who I think would be pretty likely to appear, mixed in with some of my favorite early boots (that did not make it to the jury), along with some info so people can remember who they were:

Joel (Season 1/Borneo) - Fratboyesque, semi-popular, and amusing. Voted out for laughing at a sexist comment from someone else. -_O

Gretchen (Season 1/Borneo) - The unofficial leader of the Pagong tribe, she was taken out right after the merge due to being a threat, as well as her tribe voting for whoever they felt like. She was motherly as well as being a bit of a survivalist, that shocked a lot of people with her early exit.

Kel (Season 2/Australia) - A bit of a loner, but voted out due to his suspected beef jerkey smuggling. Definitely deserving of another shot for a somewhat unfair and too early elimination.

Mike (Season 2/Australia) - A strong player, as well as a leader, he was the first medi-vac, who famously fell into his tribe's fire after inhaling smoke. If anyone has deserved a 'second chance' for how things turned out for them the first season, it's Mike, since he never got to finish his game, without voluntarily quitting.

Lindsey (Season 3/Africa) - She was part of a divided tribe, young vs. old. After a tribe switch, her young alliance was in the minority, and she got booted. Not the nicest girl, but she definitely had a villainous, strong personality.

Gina (Season 4/Marquesas) - America's sweetheart, she was very well liked. She just ended up in the minority of an alliance, and then in a minoirty at a tribe swap, where she was booted just because she was the last member of her original tribe still there. She was strong as well as really positive.

Robb (Season 5/Thailand) - I wasn't a fan of this guy, but he had an outspoken, skater boy personality, memorably bothered by Shii Ann's custom of eating the commonly discarded parts of a chicken. Robb was featured on the DVD cover of the season, a rare thing for premerge eliminations.

Dolly (Season 9/Vanuatu) - Dolly... She literally tried to play every side of every alliance. She was deemed as untrustable, and sent away. She was a sweet farm girl, if I remember right.

Jonathan (Season 10/Palau) - This season had a twist that one man and one woman wouldn't even be put on a team, while the other contestants selected teams, Jonathan was considered too large of a threat, due to his all american boy personality. Also a young cancer survivor, Jonathan was not even granted a chance to compete with the other contestants.

Leslie (Season 11/Guatemala) - A nurse practitioner that proved useful to an injured team member, early on. Deemed two big of a threat since she got along with the other team better than her own, despite not being a particular physical threat. Although conservative, she got along well with Todd (an open homosexual).

Tina (Season 12/Panama) - The female Rupert of first outs, she had survival skills, as well as a likable personality. She also had an emotional aspect going for her, with her remembering her deceased son, while not using the possible sympathy from that to keep herself in the game.

J.P (Season 13/Cook Islands) - Strong, leader-y, and voted out due to his bossiness. A memorable personality, even without the fact that he came out as homosexual after his season. With that, he would be less stereotypical than the usual openly gay contestant, chubby or thin, not much of a physical threat, and usually portrayed as strategic and flamboyant.

Cao Boi (Season 13/Cook Islands) - Known for relieving headaches. He rubbed people the wrong way, but I remember him being a fan favorite.

Leslie (Season 15/China) - Deemed too big of a threat due to getting along with the other team, she still got along with openly gay Todd, despite being a conservative. Not much of a physical threat, though.

Joel (Season 16/Fans vs. Faves) - Strong, and an aggressive leader, that does not deal well with the weak. Remember the memorable challenge where he slammed Chet into logs and stuff?

Dan (Season 17/Gabon) - I loved Dan, which is rare with me and male contestants, to be honest. He seemed like a good guy that was slightly awkward and had difficulty clicking with his age group. I related to him pretty heavily in a general way.

Kelly B (Season 21/Nicaragua) - Inspirational and likable. She was simply disliked by NaOnka, for a reason I don't remember. A strong competitior that was taken out too early.

Francesca/Francesqua (Season 22/Redemption Island) - Yes... Just yes.

Stephenie (Season 22/Redemption Island) - Memorable, snarky, smart, strong, Sarah Silverman lookalike. All good traits.

Colton (Season 24/One World) - Not someone I particularly like, but he has a high probability of returning even if this isn't a 'second chance' season.

I thought of posting this as a different blog, but it'll work fine on this blog. Any good ones I missed? A couple seasons I didn't watch early on. I also think Shannon Elkins would have a strong chance of returning if there is a second chance season. Another honorable mention for me is Kimmi Kappenberg, the vegetarian chicken lover from the Australia season.
