I don't get the logic that a cast of people that most viewers don't remember is any different than an entirely new cast. In fact, it could work even better because there are well over 20 proven good characters that got out in the first six or so episodes. With a fresh cast, you don't know what you're getting until you see them in action so someone who was great in casting could end up being a total dud. But you know that Robb Zbacnik is going to deliver. You know Sylvia's going to antagonize people. But at the same time you have little idea as to how they approach the game. Could Silas really have managed to win Africa?

If they billed it as All-Stars 3 or something like that, then yeah, it wouldn't work at all. But like CSC said, they would push the redemption angle more than anything, and as mean-spirited as it would be, people would be curious to see which loser is unlucky enough to go home first again.

And let's be real here; does anybody really think most of the audience remembered Eliza or Ami going into Micronesia? Come on. The audience overall didn't care about the casts of Vanuatu or Guatemala or Panama or Fiji or Tocantins and they still happened. People are making it sound like viewers will deliberately tune out because it's a second chance season. It's not likely to spur many additional viewers but do you really think anyone will start watching the premiere and be like, "Wait a second, that's Misty Giles from Survivor: Panama! She was the third person out, what the hell kind of a sick joke is this?" and turn the TV off? Please.
