As a hardcore fan for all 19 seasons (and not one of these people that started at S12 or didn't see S3-9 or started at S16) here is what I think:

We need at least one person from each season.....plain and simple

They have 20 people on S20 and 18 seasons to choose from. I say 18 seasons because S8 is not in contention and as much as people call for Natalie (S16) love she really was not a good/big character....it could be the editors fault or just hers. All other players were either repeats or not interesting and only people that made the merge really should be considered (thats pretty much consensus); Jason was not good enough to warrant a second chance and neither were Eric or Alexis. Natalie made it far but was simply not that big of a character. S16 is off the charts.

Out of 18 seasons they should have had 18 different seasons represented...and then they could allow for 2 seasons with 2 Survivors represented.

In lieu of making this a list completely of who I think should be on and change everything I'll just mention what seasons are not represented and who should be there and in whos place.

Borneo
We need to have a rep from Borneo....I really do not understand how they can promote this season as an All Star season and bring up "For 19 seasons yada yada....." and not include someone from the season that started it all.

The first example of the "unforgettable personalities" they show us in the S20 preview features Sue giving her Rat/Snake speech to Kelly....why not have either of these two ladies? I'm sure either of them would have come back. I really don't get why Kelly W. is pretty much NEVER mentioned as even a hopeful for an ASS season. I think either of them should/could easily take Candice's place on Heroes (Kelly) or Danielle's place on Villains (Susan) but for the sake of realizing she wouldn't win (most likely) I would rather have Kelly there as I feel she offers a real possibility to win.

Africa
Lex. He is probably one of the most hated people ever to appear on this show. He is also a great game player and also a big character. I think he could easily take Randy's place on Villains. Randy is just one of those people you feel bad for and don't necessarily hate...I think that is the universal consensus...kind of a 'I don't hate him...but I don't like him" feeling.

Thailand
Brian. Like him or hate him (personally I hate him) he is always argued as the second best winner after Hatch. Lets see him prove it....plus he is a great example of a Villain. I say take away Tyson's spot. Tyson, to me, is the Amber of this season. I feel he has done the least out of anyone there to earn himself an All Star spot. I don't agree with Danielle or Candice but Danielle at least got 2nd place and Candice (though I cant remember much else) was instrumental in the mutiny. Tyson I just remember telling bad jokes and getting voted out early merge.

Amazon

Rob. He is the only castaway who hasnt won but is treated and thought of as just as much of a threat. It's another case of prove your worth. ASS1 was full of All-Stars and bitter people (Alicia, Rob M., Jenna etc). Now the tables are turned, in a sense, seeing as last time they met Rob M. was a 10th place finisher and Rob C. a 3rd place finisher and now Rob C is a 15th placer and Rob M. a runner up. This season should be all high profile threats so if Rob can win and change the "Best player to never win" title to "Best player to win" then this is the place to do it. I would want him there in lieu of Coach. To me Coach is someone who is just a creep. He was never a threat in Tocantins and doesn't seem like one in HvV. I don't think Coach has any fans of his game play....and I don't think he would be missed...

Vanuatu
Eliza. As much as I think Eliza is being hypocritical regarding the present debate about Russell I still love her and think she is more suited for this season than FvF. She was seen as such a little conniving cu..nt in S9 I find it hard to believe she is not on S20. I would love her there in Danielle's place on Villains.

Fiji
Dreams executed one of the most villainous betrayals in Survivor history.... but just because of that reason I feel like he would definitely not make it very far. He is seen as one of the biggest pieces of shit in Survivor history so thats why I don't want him or think it would be a good idea to have him. Yau-Man is the best example of a hero. A hero for older viewers, for Asian viewers, for nice viewers...just a hero in general....more so than James in my opinion. James is just seen as a nice guy but not necessarily a hero. I like the guy but maybe for another all-star season seeing as we all know there will be another sooner rather than later (did anyone REALLY think they would do another ASS season so soon after S16?) and Yau-Man may just be to old in a few years. So I would want Yau-Man in James' position for a variety of reasons.

I think this would be generally excepted as a good cast. Granted the addition of Rich, Fairplay, Rudy (in his prime), Tina, Ethan (in his prime) and a few others would allow for an AMAZING season...certain things have happened that don't allow it to be.

I have omitted Candice, Randy, Coach, Tyson and Danielle. I feel they are all people that are not 'make um or break um" in that it doesn't really make it less of an ASS season if they are there or not.

the only seasons that have two castaways represented are Outback and China. Colby and Jerri are two of the most recognizable Survivors and no one can deny that Amanda deserves to be on another ASS season (although I don't like her) or that Courtney was one of the more interesting, yet bitchy, people on China.

I would have been 100% content with this cast. I really think they are obvious choices as replacements and would feel a lot better with a rep from every season. Even if not these specific people I choose, you cannot say that it would not be better with a rep from every season...

Rudy? Are you fucking kidding me?

Are you referring to me??

If you are....I am saying Rudy in his prime.....and Kelly is only 32 now....

Ages (more for myself than you)
