I don't know if I'll want to watch if Parvati is there, I couldn't stand her!

The reason they had more current contestants is cause this is the second "All-Star" season. So they invited contestants in seasons AFTER that particular one.

I'm super excited. It should be interesting to see who fares better: the people that have been watching since Day 1 (like me but there's nooooo way I'd go on the show!) or the people that have actually played the game.

Oops...except for Jonny Fairplay..he's from an earlier season. But you know they only brought him back for the controversy he'll bring.

Too bad Danny Bonaduce can't go on the show and beat his ass again!

Yau-Man and James are two of my favorites, but most of the others? Not so much. And I agree with glam sugar about Parvati. She was too much the first time around. Not again!

I was SUCH a Survivor fanatic when it first came out, I just loved it. And even though it's not that interesting to me anymore, I've still seen every season except this past one.

I'm not thrilled with this list of former castaways. Especially Fairplay. Ugh!

i'm definitely 'eh' about the cast as well - although i did really like ozzie. he was amazing in those challenges! my dream team would include some folks from the previous all-star cast like colby and stefanie. this probably isn't the network's ideal cast either as i'm sure some first picks just said no.

Gawd, I hate Fairplay, what an a$$. And Parvati. Glad to see Yau-Man, though!

bluesarahlou: I had the same thought about Danny Bonaduce!

My goodness, the 16th season! I know that it's still getting decent ratings but why not give it a rest already! Anyways, that seems like a good twist-- fans vs. the survivors.

I am thrilled Yau-Man is back. Not because he was so cool, but he is from MARTINEZ! My hometown! I've watched every single season and some of these people I don't even remember but I'm okay with it. Except for J. Fairplay. He's a butthead.

Glad to see Ozzy back too.

I am glad Ozzy is back. I wish the show was more of a head to head battle between the powerhouses of the past few seasons like Ozzy, Tom the fireman and the Terry the jet fighter pilot and of course Rupert! They were all so good at the challenges it would be interesting to see who is actually the best of the best.
