IN A “SURVIVOR” FIRST, FANS WILL DECIDE THE 20 CASTAWAYS WHO WILL COMPETE IN FALL EDITION

Eligible castaways include 32 former players, ranging from Season 1 to Season 30, who have never won the game and feel they deserve a second chance to compete for the $1 million prize and the title of Sole Survivor. Fans will be able vote for their favorite heroes, villains and underdogs and ultimately decide who will earn a place on the cast.

warning, the contestants that have not yet been eliminated from the current season are on this list.

Looks like you have to have a CBS account in order to vote.

If they're going to do a second chance season, I like having a voice. But there sure are a # of forgettable people on that list, meaning I can't remember them.

The 2 names I loved seeing: Kelly Wiglesworth & Terry Dietz

Edit: EW has profiles of each of the potential returnees and what they intend to do differently if voted in.

How dumb is this... there are two non-eliminated people from this season on the list. Why would they spoil this season for a stupid poll?

There are quite a few of those people I'd actually like to see back, but, yes, Kelly Wiglesworth would be awesome and I hope she doesn't miss out because of how long ago her appearance was compared to the others.

She lost to Rich 5-4 and, from that first season, my first criteria was always how well you did in challenges and then strategy and social game and Kelly kicked a lot of butt when they were trying to vote her out over and over again and got herself to the final 2 in impressive fashion.

She was weirdo Gregg's vote away from winning season 1.

Bring her back...and Kelley Wentworth, because she's really hot.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but at least in the last couple of years I much prefer seasons with returning players (because they've casted tons of duds lately, and the returners usually actually play the game). So I'm pretty excited for this. Really hoping Stephen gets in.

No Russell Hantz?

He must really be on the Survivor shitlist.

Sucks that they force you to vote for 10 men and 10 women. You're basically just NOT voting for the people you absolutely don't want to see. There are only two women in that list I want to see back: Tasha, one of my favorites who got TOTALLY screwed by her stupid tribe, and God help me, Shirin. Kelly Wiglesworth is a beast, and probably should've won... but I doubt she'll do as well now. For the guys, there are a few I wouldn't mind seeing again, like Terry, Woo, Stephen, and Spencer. There sure are a hell of a lot of choices from this current season.

If Kass gets back on, I might not watch.

I guess we'll be seeing you in February then?

These are strictly first-time second-timers, which is a good idea. I think the Men's slate (where I had to narrow it down to ten) is much stronger than the Women's (where I had to throw in a few I didn't care about to get to ten).

It isn't a spoiler. They'll be deemed ineligible for S31 if they win S30.

I've had enough of Russell Hantz playing Survivor to last me a lifetime.

The one woman I'd be really interested in seeing again is Kelly Wigglesworth. You figure Shirin will be a slam-dunk to get voted in. After that ... eh. Half of them I had to look their information to even remember who they were. Kass I remember for the wrong reasons. It'll be tough if she's as aggressively annoying as she was before (and I fear her winning easily too).

For the guys, I'd love to see crazy Shane, Stephen, and Terry back. You know Joe and Spencer are getting in.

There should be a rule that no one from that awful One World season is ever allowed back.

I'd vote, but don't want to give my information to register. This note from CBS about registered has me passing:

No. Just no. Not worth making a filler e-mail account just for this. I'm guessing they make you verify your e-mail before you can vote, right?

My first female votes go to Kelly, Monica, Abi Maria, Sabrina, Pieh-gee, Natalie, Ciera, Kass, Kelley, and Shireen

My first male votes go to Varner, Savage, Terry, Fishbach, Jim, Vytas, Culpepper, Spencer, Jeremy, and Joe

I feel the exact opposite about the options. Outside of the 4-5 rando premerge boots the female options are surprisingly good(PG,Kelly W and T-Bird are epic and I assumed would never get a shot again). Add to that 2 of the best villians ever Abi,Kass, Tasha a strong player and the best part of this season Shirin and you have the potential for the best female cast ever.

Kass is probably a lock to make it.

Watched nearly every season, barely recognize anyone

I recognized everyone but Mikayla. But I've seen every season multiple times.

Really want to see Kass and Vytas make it back. And I'm sure they will. As will everybody that is from this most recent season. Wiglesworth is an interesting choice, but frankly I was never a fan.

Lots of duds on that list. I suspect a lot of the better returning players turned them down when asked if they would come back. I think it's interesting that a couple of those options are the tag alongs from the "blood" season.

Was surprised to see the new twist for next season, especially since I posted this back on 3/6 in the discussion for Ep. 2 of the current "Worlds Apart" season:

Since you and some others here are longtime Survivor vets, can anyone remember a season that featured "Early vote-off contestants"? I asked my wife & she said it seemed vaguely familiar but wasn't sure, either. I guess such a season would be "Losers vs. Newbies" or something.

Was just thinking that it would give another opportunity for some people who got tabbed early as being "characters" or potentially-strong players but got sent home early. Or has that gimmick already been done?

Would give audience another chance to see Vince.

There was a brief discussion that followed about some seasons bringing back players (aside from the Heroes & Villains, All-Stars, Fans vs. Faves, etc.). Can't say this was prescient since some of the names I've seen mentioned were not "early" vote-offs...some candidates made it to the jury (including some from this season).

In the same boat. I remember the newer ones and some of the really older ones, but a lot of the middle ones escape me. They should put summaries of what they did on the show and maybe a clip of one of their key moments to help people remember.

I truly do think the days of true all-star seasons have passed since so many of the winners, and better players, are possibly turning them down when asked to return. What you are left with is stunts like this one, or heroes vs villains BS, because the returning players can't be spun as all-stars.

I also think that this option for the fans to vote is a reaction to the seasons where the returning players were generally people that fans hated, or couldn't care less about, and they were vocal about it. Having or two hated players (Rawdny, Will) in one season can help make the season interesting. But a cast made up with many of these kind of players just sucks.

Wow. I really like this part of the twist. Here's an explanation of how this is going to play out.

We'll see how legit the voting is by the body language of those that could know they are going vs. those just there to make it look good.

Is she the lingerie football player that Russell's nephew was starting to go all serial killer on?

I hope so. I will be voting for everyone from the Brains/Braun/beauty season because it was one of the best of the recent seasons.
