In 20 days the new Survivor will start. I am definitely looking forward to the 16th season of Survivor as it proves to have much more potential than last season which was only made enjoyable by the Survior Chats held here on Gather :) I met some great people (Amanda, Bundy, Sue, just to name a few) during those chats and cannot wait until the new season starts.Â
This season will also be slightly different in the fact that it will be a Fans vs. Favorites season. Two teams of 10 people each will vie to see who is the better Survior; the Fans or the Favorites. All the fans have watched every episode of every season and claim to know the game better than those who have played it before.  The fan players include: a motivational speaker, a pharmacy customer service/pagent coach, an art student, a gymnastics coach/student, a firefighter, a golf course concessions person, a real estate/financial company owner, an aspiring writer/actor, a bartender/personal trainer, and a commercial and residential builder.
The returning favorites include:
- Amanda - Survior: China
- Ami - Survivor: Vanuatu
- Cirie - Survivor: Panama - Exile Island
- Eliza - Survivor: Vanuatu
- James - Survior: China
- Jonathan - Survivor:Â Cook Islands
- Jonny Fairlplay - Survivor: Pearl Islands
- Ozzy - Survivor:Â Cook Islands
- Parvati - Survivor:Â Cook Islands
- Yau-Man - Survivor:Â Fiji
Looks like a good bunch of people. I know many are very happy that James (Survivor: China) is back for this season, but I am happy that Ozzy (Survivor: Cook Islands) is back. I had really wanted him to win that season and he did not.  I am very glad, though, that no past winners are among this list. It should definitely be an interesting season and I am wondering how long Jonathan or Jonny Fairplay will last with people knowing how they played the game the first time around. I can't imagine they will be there very long, but than again you never know! Who is your favorite returning player?? Which side do you think has the advantage Fans or Favorities?? What are your thoughts??Â

We are BIG fans .. I even have the original Survivor game that was out afte rthe 1st Survivor show.. It has never been opened..
We are BIG fans too! My husband got me into the show, although he rarely has much time to watch it anymore. We also have a Survivor board game from the first season, my sister and her ex-husband bought it for us for Christmas one year.
The fans may have an edge in this because the favorites well haven't we all seen how they tried and failed before.
I could never do it either. The bug factor alone is enough for me to decline. Although I do give those who do it alot of credit. I just wouldn't be able to do it.
You may be right on your theory. We have definitely seen them all fail before :) Maybe they have new strategies this time? Either way I will still root for Ozzy!
I can't wait for it to come back
I stopped by and gave you a ten
Of course I will help host the chats, Amanda! Just let me know. It will be so much fun :)
We welcome you joining the chats :) The chats are usually during the show, starting at 8pm (or as close to it as we can get :)
