Shamar is the big black guy.
Reynold is the guy with the kind of longish hair from San Fransisco.
Lola88, trust me, you will enjoy this season. There are great characters, Good Challenges, Several Blindsides and Power Shifts, A couple medivacs.
Oh yeah and one other thing: The biggest moment in survivor history happens this season. Even bigger than Fairplay's Grandma Lie.
Honestly this season would've been the best season ever if they would've stuck with the full returnee idea.
Yes, this season was originally supposed to be a full returnees season but they changed it to FvF because they want to do an All-Star type season for Season 30.
If they would've stuck with the Full Returnee Format, these people would have also returned:
Stephen Fishbach- Tocantins
Marty Piombo- Nicaragua
Troyzan- One World
Jim Rice- South Pacific
Mike Chiesl- Redemption Island
Holly Hoffman- Nicaragua
Jane Bright- Nicaragua
Kat Edorrson- One World
Sabrina Thompson- One World
Abi-Maria Gomes- Philippines
Another reason they didn't do it is because Abi tore her ACL filming S25 and she had to get surgery and they couldn't find anyone to replace her.
Also regarding Season 27 which will start filming in a few months, IT WILL BE AN ALL NEWBIE SEASON.
The producers and Burnett threatened Probst that if he kept bringing back returnees he's "done".

I find it hard to believe that they were able to assemble a whole tribe of newbies in a matter of weeks, which they would've had to if they really scrapped the all returnee season because of Abi's injuries. Plus, that would've been a god awful "all-star" lineup.
Also, I'm pretty sure Probst isn't the only one who makes those decisions. He's a major influence, but he could be vetoed by CBS or Burnett at any time I'm sure.

Watched the CBS videos and Shamar thinks he's going to run this season? He has a rude awakening.

I imagine we will get at least another half list of returnees for 28 then.
Also, I don't buy they couldn't find another girl. Chelsea, Ashley, Natalie B, Alicia, Whitney, and Alina I'm sure would have all accepted the offer to return
My Survivor: Caramoan Pre-Show Thoughts *CONTAINS SPOILERS*
Let's start with the Fans:
Hope, Laura- The same situation for both of them, their not cut for the game.
Julia- She was uber-hardcore out there, she just ended up being on the wrong side of the Numbers.
Shamar- He just rubbed people the wrong way with the way he talked, he's a nice guy, but he needs to think about what he's saying before he talks, cause it might offend some people.
Matt- Superfan of the show. Don't let the look fool you, he's a really nice guy. I think he will have a lot of people rooting for him.
Allie- Another hardcore fan of the show, she will also get plenty of fans.
Michael- He's sort of like an Enigma. Out there everyone was thinking "Is this guy serious?". He goes pretty far, but not deep.
Reynold, Eddie- Same situation. They are both Smart, Physical players. Reynold was more on the Smart side and Eddie was more on the Physical side. They were 2 out of the 3 Fans who are actually good at the game.
Sherri- She plays a Dawn-Like game and everyone loves her and she will have lots of fans. She is 3rd out of 3 Players who actually played good.
Favorites:
Francesca- You would have a better chance of winning the lottery than picking Francesca to win this season. She plays the same game she did in RI. Played too hard way too fast and fought with Phillip again. On Wednesday, you will find out that Francesqua is the Anti-Sandra, if you know what I mean ;)
Brandon- If you took a shot every time Brandon flipped out on someone this season, by the end you would be stone cold drunk. He was unsafe, out of control, not mentally stable to play, and it was completely EPIC. If they show it all, which I doubt they will, it will be epic. Brandon vs Phillip is going to be a Top 10 Survivor Moment and will be talked about for quite sometime. He makes his Uncle Willie (BB14) look like a freaking schoolgirl. And they might not even bring him back for the reunion, that's how bad it was.
Phillip- He will never win this game, he was only brought back because of entertainment value, which he certainly delivered on.
Corinne- She went out there to have fun, which she did, but don't expect her to win the game.
Malcolm- He got screwed over this season. There was already a majority alliance made before they even flew out there and Malcolm wasn't a part of it. Even worse, the majority alliance all knew how he played in S25 and knows about every single challenge this season, so they could get prepared for it. He will make the merge, but he never stood a chance to win this season.
Andrea- Brenda's *****, nuff said.
Erik- Damn, he was SO CLOSE. He was in the home stretch and than the mental, emotional part of his body took over and just like that, he got pulled from the game. He was still a part of the jury however.
Brenda- She controlled this season. She was running the show, then the Family Visit came. This season they got to have 2 Family Members come out. Brenda won the Family Challenge and chose Dawn and her 2 Loved Ones, than Jeff said that Brenda could give up her Family Visit and have the other 4 Castaways (Plus Dawn) get to spend time with their Loved Ones. Of course she chooses the right move and gives everyone else their Loved Ones. So guess what happens 2 Days Later? She gets Blindsided, and at the FTC she delivers one of the greatest Jury Speeches ever. So who blindsided her you ask? Well.............................................................
Dawn- Shocked? Yep Dawn orchestrated the Brenda Blindside by aligning with the remaining fans, she did what she thought would help her in the end. So did it? No. She had to deal with one of the most pissed off, Bitter Juries Ever and they were PISSED at her. She had to have professional help after it all ended.
Cochran- He was one of the few who found out about all the water challenges and puzzles this season and he had 30 days to train in a olympic sized pool. Did it help him? Definitely. A lot of people will be shocked at how many challenges he wins. After Brenda's Blindside, everyone looked at him and said "You're Gone". The problem? They could not get Cochran gone. He couldn't stop winning the damn challenges. He DEFINITELY Improved his first time around.
Well, that's it................for now ;)
