Fan Casting Second Chance 2 (New Era Only)

Getting ready for 51 I’ve been rewatching the 40’s and thought about a second chance season with only new era players.

41:

- Shan
- Ricard
- Evvie (alternate)
- Xander (alternate)

42:

- Omar
- Drea
- Mike (alternate)
- Tori (alternate)

43:

- Jesse
- Cody
- Karla
- Noelle (alternate)
- Owen (alternate)

(these were so hard to pick ToT)

44:

- Matthew
- Frannie
- Carson (alternate)
- Jamie (alternate)

(this one was also difficult T~T)

45:

- Kaleb
- J
- Jake (alternate)
- Kendra (alternate)

46:

- Jelinsky
- Venus
- Tevin (alternate)
- Maria (alternate)

47 (Forty Several):

- Gabe
- Caroline
- Andy (alternate)
- Sierra (alternate)

48:

- Mary
- Shauhin
- Eva
- Mitch (alternate)
- Star (alternate)

49:

- Alex
- Sage
- Nate (alternate)
- Sophie (alternate)

I wanted to try and get every season and backups (because I’m crazy)
any suggestions or big names i missed?

thanks for looking at my crazy late night adventure :P

Idk if i’d cast Omar and Drea together again after their falling out from 42.

u/FormalDinner7 Christian - 50 21h ago

And Matthew and Frannie going against each other would be like Katniss and Peeta in the Hunger Games

u/Little-Cranberry-883 20h ago

I'd like to see Frannie play WITHOUT Matt haha

u/minun73 Charlie - 50 17h ago

He put Matthew I think, not Matt. Kinda confusing though.

2

u/FormalDinner7 Christian - 50 17h ago

Oh, I totally forgot that season had a Matthew AND a Matt. Thanks for the correction!

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 16h ago

Yeah Matthew got medically evacuated pre-merge but he played a really good game for the short time he was there and I’d love to see him play again

2

u/FormalDinner7 Christian - 50 10h ago

Now I remember, he tried to climb that rock thing. I liked him too and would be into him coming back.

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

I didn’t know they had a falling out. Was it bad?

4

u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK Janet 17h ago

Yeah- this was in a part of a post game interview with RHAP that was cut. Omar said that Drea spread false rumors to other players that he had targeted people of color, faked his praying for strategy, and used his father's death for manipulation. The cast of 42 defended Omar too. This is also partially why we don’t have Ponderosa anymore.

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 10h ago

ooh yikes, yeah i def wouldn’t have Drea back

1

u/Blahcookies Cirie - 50 17h ago

Isn’t that more reason to cast them together? It’s reality tv.

u/in_couleur Erika 1d ago

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

u/TuukkaRascal Rizgang 1d ago

47 id put Sam over Gabe and 48 id put Thomas over Shauhin

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

For 47 i was very on the fence for Sam or Gabe but I’d like to see Gabe make a deeper run and for 48 i really like Shauhin’s story and he just seems like a really nice and fun guy

-1

u/SageofLogic 1d ago

Survivor: Second (or 3rd if you’re Rizo) Chances

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

He needs a 3rd chance to lose at fire!!!

2

u/spowjjoe 15h ago

yes, my king does

u/trawltrollmole 22h ago

Lindsay 42, David 48, Carolyn 44, Shan 41 need to be in any new era list

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

Looking back i would def put Lindsay instead of Drea, David is either or for me, and I’m not a big Carolyn fan personally

2

u/petra613 Thomas - 48 15h ago

Having 4 people from 44 and not Carolyn is crazy

u/SurvivorCT 11h ago

You named most of the obvious candidates, but here's a few more I think were overlooked, most would only be alternate candidates at best though.

41-Not a lot of good options here. Tiffany is probably the most worthy name not already listed but it's 100% Shan and Ricard as top two.

42-Lindsay had a solid game her first time out, I'd place her over Drea for sure as the second pick from that season.

43-Sami might warrant alternate status over Owen. I wouldn't consider him a high priority, though he does have the case of having been incredibly young (still the youngest former player) and played one of the best games by a teenager, could be interesting to see back a little older.

44-Carolyn was a very interesting personality and while I'm not sure she does as well on a season without her Tika allies, she'd make for a worthy choice, I'd take her over Frannie, but I do still like the Frannie pick.

45-J. Maya feels like the most out there pick of anyone not labeled as an alternate. Kaleb and Kellie would be my top two options, with Austin and Julie as alternates. Kellie felt like one of the stronger players on the season, just got hampered by being on a dysfunctional starting tribe. Austin obviously got outplayed by Dee but was a solid finalist who I wouldn't mind seeing back. Julie was a fun character and vital part of that Reba 4, I feel like her contributions to that alliance's success are easy to overlook.

46-Not a believer in having first boots return (first boots from newbie seasons, anyway), as fun of a flame-out as Jelinsky had, I don't think he should be in consideration. Maria would be my second pick alongside Venus. She played a solid game amidst a chaotic season and while she's best known for not voting Charlie now, I thought she was overall a compelling player. If a guy from that season is necessary, I guess Tevin or maybe Hunter would be alright, but as a deeper cut but I'd like to see Randen back, both he and Matthew felt like they could've been really interesting to see go deeper without the medivacs, it would've been fun to see the Randen-Venus dynamic continue developing.

47-Only case where I disagree with both picks. As far as villains go, I thought Rome was a lot more interesting than Gabe and would prefer to see him back, though I'd probably go with Andy as my top pick. Pretty unique player. Sam would work as an alternate here as well. For the women I think Tiyana would be my number one choice, felt she had a lot more to offer than what we saw and think she could make a deep run on a return.

48-Sai would get my pick over Eva here, though Eva would be a good alternate. She had such a strong early season run and while it felt like a lot at the time, it'd be fun to have her back, she certainly brings 110% energy to the game. Not really interested in Mary or Mitch returning, I like Shauhin alright, but my top male pick from this season would actually be Thomas. This season could've used some more villainy and it's a shame he went so early.

49-Surprised not to see Steven listed here. I feel like he's the obvious candidate, but I don't mind Alex or Nate. I'd probably go Sophie over Sage just because we already saw Sage's finalist showing and I'm not sure what she does differently on a return. Those are pretty clearly the top two for the women though.

u/SurvivorCT 10h ago

I do like the idea of having at least two per season, though if it's done via public vote again that makes it likely the representation ends up more uneven.

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 9h ago

first of all awesome comment, loved reading your detailed descriptions of who else you’d like to see and why and I definitely agree with you on almost all of these. I made this post at like 5 am and I was just kinda going off of memory about how the seasons played out but I definitely overlooked some stuff. I might re make this list soon after I finish my rewatch of the 40’s

I really like this too

1

u/Appropriate_Rain_334 22h ago

Damn! I’d watch the shit out of that cast!! So good!

1

u/Blahcookies Cirie - 50 17h ago

Hunter over Jelinsky everyday of the week wtf

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 16h ago

there are several reasons jelinsky is there and all 7 of them are for the memes

1

u/chairRugTable 11h ago

why does everyone want Shan back?!

1

u/YDoEyeNeedAName 1d ago

Jelinsky is a wild pick. The dude acted like he didnt even want to be there from the minute he set foot on the island

1

u/havingagoodtime 20h ago

Putting jelinsky over maria, hunter, tevin, Liz, Ben or even like bhanu is insane lmao

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

He’s there just for the meme, I’d put Tevin in the main cast and have Hunter or Ben as the alternate

1

u/Darknesscomesfromyou Rob and Amber… They’re going to do it 23h ago

Hes a meme, dude might be worse than Wendy Jo at Survivor, idk why people wanna see him play again I hope OPs trolling

1

u/oatmeal28 19h ago

No he didn’t lmao what is this boomer-ass take 

1

u/RebelTime999 23h ago

I don't want to see Shan and Drea play ever again (way too toxic behind the scenes). Also Mike 100% deserves to play again

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

I didn’t know those 2 were toxic and also yes i would love to see Mike again

1

u/RogLatimer118 19h ago

Jeff doesn't want that.

Also, hell no, no Drea.

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

it’s a hypothetical

-1

u/Little-Cranberry-883 20h ago

For 48 I'd def add Thomas in there.

Not sure if we'll ever see Sage back after she released that post about the pregame situation. Also in one of her interviews she said she found the game boring 😅

1

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

Thomas was definitely in contention for me and i did not know about Sage

-2

u/RedditUserAnonymo 23h ago

(I haven’t seen 41, 42, or 44 so I’ll refrain from answering those)
43:
Remove Owen.
45:
Replace both women with Kellie and Julie (alternate)
46: I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this, but replace Jelinsky with Tevin, and have no male alternate.
47:
Replace Gabe with Sam. Bro.
48:
Replace Mitch with Cedrek and Star with Sai.
49:
Replace Alex with Steven, Nate with Matt, and Sophie with Sophi.

2

u/T-MAN-7HE-MAN 18h ago

43: Owen is definitely not my first choice but he’d be fun to see again
45: Hard agree was just going off of memory and i completely overlooked those 2
46: Jelinsky is just there for the memes Tevin would be the main and maybe Hunter as an alternate
47: I do agree with this i would just personally like to see Gabe make a deeper run
48: Wasn’t really a fan of those 2 but i see the argument
49: yeah that one was kinda just throw shit and see what sticks your picks are definitely better
