Since its debut in 2000, Survivor has defined the reality competition genre with its mix of physical endurance, social strategy, and raw human drama. Jeff Probst's iconic tribal councils remain appointment television.
With the new era of shorter seasons and evolving twists, Survivor continues to reinvent itself while maintaining the core survival elements that have kept fans engaged across 50 seasons and counting.
That was a really interesting article. Cool hearing from people like Kathy and Cesternino again...

"Survivor" will mark its 20th season with something special as it once again unites former players, this time as “Heroes vs. Villains.” Before CBS announces the lineup next week, we asked former Survivors whether they see themselves as a hero or villain, who other than themselves they’d like to see play this time around and is it easier to win as a hero or villain.

Great article. Have any of you guys either read or seen the movie Lord of the Flies? I remember in All-Stars when Rob and Amber won the movie night that Jeff said that Survivor was based off this book. What do you guys think?

I believe that Osten from PI is the only Survivor ever to not have Jeff say "The tribe has spoken" upon his torch being snuffed.

What about Bobby John?
mr.unamazing;148547 wrote:In Guatemala? No he wasn't. He was the 2nd person voted out after the merge and the 1st member of the jury.
Yeah, I was just adding his name as he was eliminated before the merge and would be someone people would remember on a season like that.

I do, Gina & Hunter are way more memorable than Danielle. If someone were planning on watching the season I think they would regardless of it was a 2nd chance Survivor or not and I think older fans would watch if good quality cast members like Hunter & Gina were cast.
Here's a pretty good article featuring many veterans of Survivor including season 20 participants Jerri, Coach and Rupert. don't worry, there are no spoilers:Survivors pick their 'Survivor' all-stars"...
