That sweet era in time when Survivor was a unique cultural phenomenon. It was a big deal. Before reality TV culture blew up and over-saturated of entertainment media. Season 8 (Survivor All-Stars) was the last hoorah for that special time in history before reality shows became a dime a dozen.

I know that at least two other contestants were considered. Helen was contacted and said she was interested, but she ultimately didn't make the cast. Brian was invited and said he was interested, but he said he'd only compete again if he received an upfront payment. Needless to say, he was dropped from consideration. Ken would have been a good returnee and Penny would have been an okay choice if you ask me.

I just watched this season, and it is hands down the worst season of Survivor I have ever seen. I was not expecting to hate this season as much as I did. The players are unlikeable, boring, and have nasty traits. The racism and sexism was so disgusting and my heart broke for Ghandia and Shii Ann. The game play was awful and boring, everyone basically just handed the season to Brian and Clay. No one was willing to make bold moved. The only satisfying moment in this season was when the jury ripped the finalist a new one in their questioning.

This is my least favorite season. Too many jerk's winning. Boring cast boring gameplay a lot of the memorable people go home pre-jury and the grindgate incident should have been handled way better I believe Ted did it and should have been kicked out and the fact he's on the jury make's it worse than Island of the idols. The good thing's are the debut of Jeff Probst challenge commentary, full evolution of the goat strategy and the conversations around Shii Ann being Asian(kinda ridiculous we had to wait 5 seasons until our 1st Asian player) just like last season were conversations ahead of their time.
