You're describing trends in the end result, not the way it *had* to be cast. They didn't even try to contact Vecepia.

@@corealitytv yes but looking at the end you can solve where people were on the list to call. So we know there are 39 winners. Clearly its Boston Rob is #1 because production loves him. Amber would be #2 because it was the same call. Sandra and Parvati have to be up in high numbers. Now as I said we know Returning Player Season Winners are high, the only 2 not there Chris and Cochran were called. Plus you can assume from looking at the finished cast recent season winners were called before Others. So now lets say there's 5 winners that are a first call ill say Boston rob and amber, hatch, parviti, Sandra so that fills calls to 1-5 There are 9 recent seasons (31-38) so now we can fill in 6-14. Next we will fill in the Returning player winners not counted so you are at calls which is 4 more. So 15-18. So you only have 21, out of which you have Ethan, Kim, Yul, Tony, Natalie, who were cast. Tina was an alternate so now we can subtract those you get 15 more calls. You have only gotten through the cast, hatch, Cochran, Chris, and tina, now we can assume Bob and Brian are on the tail end because of age and behavior so that is slots 38 and 39. So we added in a female alternate but there had to be a male one which makes him #15. Which means even if she was number 14 to call she would have had to go through 26 other winners. Plus I think the other thing that doomed her, Hatch, Tina, Rob, Amber, Sandra, all said yes meaning out of the how ever many old school winners they wanted to have an idea of they already knew of that many.

I can understand Game Changers given the theme, perception of her, and the relatively limited slots for winners, but Winners at War is the one that really sticks out to me. There's at least 3 people I can see as easy swap outs for her.

Jeopardy spoilers?

I swear if they miss the opportunity to bring back Shane, it’s gonna be so annoying. I can see Shane as like a 5-6th boot on a dominate tribe and actually having some decent confessionals. If shane made it far which I doubt, I would assume he would play like troyzan from survivor gamechangers.

@@pokechespingames9084 Troyzan never returned (joking) In all seriousness, bring shane. He was supposted to be on what, 5 seasons? (Micronesia, HvV, South Pacific, BvW, Second Chance). He probally will be dragged to the end as a goat, but who cares. People actually want shane back. hes one of the few older players I still hear people talka bout today. Like GODDDDDDDD I wanna see him again. I dont care if hes the first boot, any amoutn of shane is good.

​@@LeifsLittleLuxuryHell Shane is unironically one of the best characters on the show, I'd even argue top 3.

@@brainrot1551 id argue the best tbh

@@LeifsLittleLuxuryHell Tbf I prefer coach on S18 but I'd argue Shane is a close second

Fr he almost had it at second chance

Idk why I actually hated Spencer after Cambodia. He was solid in Cagayan and same with Tasha but Cambodia version was Garbage.

He's unlikely to be contacted based on what he's been up to since Cambodia, spouting a bunch of weird right-wing conspiracy theories on social media, especially ones involving vaccination. I don't think CBS is really looking for that type of energy in contemporary Survivor.

Oh damn I hadn't seen that stuff before, that's really unfortunate. Holy shit that AMA thread.

Sadly 39 may never come back at this point, maybe going up to 30 like they originally planned for this season could happen to accommodate a 20 player cast

Devens and Christian

Those 2 r basically locks if theyre able to do it​@@jWh8

@@jWh8those are the biggest locks ever. No way they don’t come back.

would be absolutely shocked if Devens didn't come back

I will be the lightning rod of hate on this one if I have to

Agreed fully

Emily mentioned in her exit press that she didn’t work with the underdogs b/c she was worried that katurah would go back to Dee and Julie. Also, what wasn’t shown inn the show was that Dee, Julie and katurah had a strong relationship. Karurah pretty much flipped on belo as soon as they merged.

@@jr370113 makes sense. Katurah was a pretty terrible player.

Not risking her vote was good if she and others would have switched the vote to Dee n Austin....

I was thinking the same, but to be fair, it's a gamble when you're already a big target, to betray your closest ally. Dee had Jake and Katurah to work with and go to the end with. It's not like Dee had a bad relationship with Drew either. Dee seemed to be the one person interested in taking her to the end. Betraying Dee would have put an end to that.

Isn't that just a thing Zach is trying to meme into existence?

oh, maybe you're right @@corealitytv

@@corealitytvhe actually contended. His name is on the official website.

I dont Like that Guy anyway so idc

I hated her in the beginning. Now Im loving her

@@zanderpretorius7025 Should have vote Julie!

she is such a 4th placer

@@mississippitornado6842 Yes!

Lol!

If a Reba doesn’t win Emily definitely will
