**"Half-A.S.S." stolen from a post by Estee. **

Ok, it's Survivor's greatest fans vs. former contestants.

Who do you speculate will give it another chance? Especially from China.

And who would you like to see?

Let's assume it's 8 vs. 8. And these greatest fans better be good. I don't need any more Courtneys or Amazing Race/Big Brother rejects.

(I am suspecting James or Frosti from China. Denise may want/need the money, but this really isn't her game)

A Blessed Christmas season to all who welcome the Newborn King into their lives.

First off, I love the idea. I hope the season goes off as well as it has the potential to.

As to who will be there, how far back are we going? Seasons since all-stars?

I really hope we can see some of the early boots instead of just jury people. It would be fun to get to know them better and give them another chance to do better.

I just hope they are real fans and NOT happy shiny people that they cast.

Edited to add NOT

The cast has been spoiled if you dive into the Spoilers section of the site.

I don't mind spoiled as long as there is nothing there with boot orders. To reveal the cast is no big deal. I just don't want to take the chance i go over there and I know who wins the next season...or anyone close. Spoilers although never 100& are 99% and that is enough for me.

As Smokedog said the cast has been spoiled. What I like about the idea is that all the newbies each think they have a great big advantage: "I could be the only one that knows this game!" How surprised will they be!!

I would like Aaron to have a shot...he was kinda set up to be ousted this year.

A Blessed Christmas season to all who welcome the Newborn King into their lives.

Oh, I am super-psyched for next season...think it's a great idea. Being a super fan myself, I couldn't imagine a bigger shock than to see the other tribe are old castaways!! Can't wait!! Haven't looked at the spoiler yet (debating weather I want it to be a surprise or not), but my bet is on James or PG from China.

Only 8 all-stars from seven seasons, so not many to choose from. Basically one from each season plus one wild card.

My guesses:
S9 - nobody
S10 - Tom
S11 - Judd
S12 - Terry
S13 - Ozzy
S14 - Yau Man
S15 - James

Those are all guys so my wild card and second WC (to replace 0 from S9) should be both female. Maybe PG and Danni?

If I could go deeper, then maybe Ian, Cherie, Shane, Yul, and J.R.

I'll go by the following rules - no winners, no one from before All-Stars, no one who has played twice already, and no one who didn't make the merge.

Keep in mind that I already wrote an All-Star season involving several actual castaways. If I applied the above rules and plucked Survivors from my fictional cast, I would have:

Twila, Ami, Ian, Rafe, Danielle, Terry, Cirie, Ozzy, Parvati, Jonathan, and Yau-Man.

I'll assume that my roster of women is perfect - Twila, Ami, Danielle, Cirie, and Parvati...even though three of them were chosen by popular demand and mot my own creative genius. But hey, they probably earned it.

I would cut Jonathan and Ian and bring in James from China. I would love to find room for Frosti, but I'm not sure who to cut. But since I need a rep from at least one of the Palau/Guatemala seasons, he stays and Frosti goes.

My dream team:

Ami Cusack
Cirie Fields
Danielle DiLorenzo
James Clement
Ozzy Lusth
Parvati Shallow
Rafe Judkins
Terry Deitz
Twila Tanner
Yau-Man Chan

Why all the love for Frosty? He seemed fairly average. Not much the strategist, okay but not great in challenges, average interviewee, etc. Am I missing something?

Who is Danielle? If that was the runner-up to Tom in S10, there is no way she belongs in All-Stars. But maybe it's someone else.

>Who is Danielle?

Runner-up to Aras in S12 Exile Island.

Personally, I would have liked them to bring back Crazy Shane - he was a hoot to watch, even if he wasn't much of a strategizer.

A stocking stuffer from Agman!
It will be a great day when every one of our schools get all the money they need while
the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to raise enough funds to buy a bomber.

Shane was funny. What a shock to someone like Ami!

I'm impressed with Frosti for one reason: I set out to hate him, and I couldn't do it. I hated his goofy nickname, I hated that I didn't know what the hell "parkour" was and that CBS tried to make me feel stupid for not knowing, and I hated that he was only 20 and still got on the show. I remember filling out the Fanatics Love List for the first week, and I actually referred to him by his given name, Michael, because I couldn't stand the idea of referring to him as "Frosti."

I couldn't hate him. He, like James, was superb in team challenges (though not all that in individual ones) and seemed like an all-around nice guy who was shafted by being in a bad position...y'know, like the entire Zhan Hu tribe. The only questionable thing about Frosti was his taste in women.

As for Danielle...she was runner-up in Exile Island, and the clod that lost to effing Aras. I didn't care for her, but when I polled Fanatics after Cook Islands, they seemed to favor her as a potential All-Stars II choice (or Fans vs. Favorites, as it were.) She wasn't as overhwelming as Twila or Ami, the top two female choices, but she was top 5. Aside from that, she did beat Aras and Terry in a challenge, never mind that it was ridiculously weighted in her favor.

Females are harder. Danielle could very well be there.

As long as they don't bring back Rob and Amber, I'll be fine. I hate those two! And please please please... no more James!!! The guy was dumb as a pile of rocks. There are so many other players who have more to offer to the game than a good physique.

I'm not all that interested in Twila. She was already a runner-up. I would like to see some more of James. I would like to see what he has learned about strategy since China.

I agree that it would be nice to give Aaron another chance (China) since he really got a bum deal.

I wonder if it will be 4 guys/4 girls? Also, if James is back, I hope the superfans have some superstrength!!

I know this isn't practical, but imagine a team with Ozzy/Tom/Terry/James. They would never lose a challenge!

Have they ever thought of just having a challenge survivor special with the best physical performers in a variety of individual challenges? Put the 4 mentioned above and add in Boston Rob and maybe Colby, Ian, Matt, and Ethan. Though really I think the 4 I mentioned first were probably the best performers in that regard.
