-A season with two new contestants and 14-18 returning contestants. Obviously one new man and one new woman. They would be on different tribes. We have had 3 season with 2 returnees and in at least 2 of them, a returnee went to the end. It would be fun to see if the newbies could worm their way into a good alliance and go deep into the game.
-A season with a couple unknown returnees. This only works with the back-to-back filming and it has to be a spring season. An example would be Fabio and Chase coming back for Redemption Island or Brandon and Cochran coming back for S24. They play again before their first season airs like Russell, but this is with all newbies. Jeff doesn't announce that there are returnees. The returnee has the choice of telling or not telling their tribe that they have played the game before.
-Also a back to basics season would be a twist these days so I will list that too.
