Agreed. Although, other than Francesca, I like the rest of the cast. I don't know if I could set through another season with some of the old returning players (Parvati, Amanda, Ceri, Rupert etc.). Without them this season will feel much fresher.... for me anyway.
One thing I would like to see in the future is something like Survivor "Winners versus Losers"... It would basically pit 10 players from any season who finished in the Top 4 versus 10 players who were voted out in the first 3 or 4.
Well, Winners versus Losers wouldn't be the best name because the "Winners" team wouldn't have 10 winners, but something similar would work. Maybe Finalist vs. First Out?
For the Finalist I would like to see players like Stephen from Tocantins and Chelsea from One World. For the first out, I don't know really, but I feel there have been a lot of players who could have been decent, but were voted out early due to their perceived strength so we never got a chance to see. Plus, there's a lot of "crazies" who were voted out in the beginning so seeing the again may make for some interesting TV. I suppose if they couldn't find enough interesting constants who where voted out in the first 3 or 4, they could extend the "First Out" to those who were voted out pre-merge. Then, players like Colton and Dana (from last season) could get their second chances.
Anyway, I'm excited for the new season.
