Great article!
There is one inaccuracy.
“Malcolm, Cirie, and Ozzy were the final members on the jury on one of their previous seasons.
Malcolm in Philippines, Cirie in Panama, and Ozzy in South Pacific.”
Cirie was final member of the jury in Micronesia (it was Terry in Panama).
Edited. Thanks. 🙂
Great stuff.
Quick edit- “Caleb and Sandra are the only two people to never be voted out.” Should include Tony, Tai, and Aubry.
Added. Thanks.
Isn’t Jeff actually the first two time pre-juror to return for another season ever? Unless I’m forgetting someone, of course.
Russell Swan, Francesca, & Colton are the only other players to be eliminated pre-jury both times they played. They have not yet returned for another season however, so yes, Varner is the only two-time pre-juror to return for another season.
(Unless you want to count Boston Rob, who was eliminated pre-jury in Marquesas and HvV, but made the FTC in both All-Stars and Redemption Island)
Only 4th season with all returning players and this is what they brought? The theme better be worth it.
Gonna be honest. At first I was TOTAL FAN of seasons were they brought all returning players.
But these, well, I’m not up for that. I think up to this point they’ve brought every single player who is worth seeing and the ones who we haven’t seen, are the same people who is still not brought back.
I think they should’ve made season 32,33,34,35 and then 36 with FansVSFavorites just to not loose the format each 10 seasons.
Too son for another all stars season.
Did I miss something? What is the theme to season 34??
Couple other things:
Varner did make the merge in Australia, just not the jury. Also, Aubry and Tai have never been voted out either, and have never served on the jury.
Yes, we just said “never made jury phase” for Varner. Already edited the other part. 🙂
Shirin and Joe can’t count as playing back-to-back, because if Cambodia had back-to-back players it would’ve been someone from Kaoh Rong. If you count Joe and Shirin as back-to-back players then J.T. and Coach would’ve been count in Heroes vs Villains too and that would mess up Russell’s situation.
They are considered to have played in back to back seasons because Worlds Apart and Cambodia aired back to back.
Are you purposely refraining from mentioning the names of the season 33 returnees? I know those names were revealed on this site in another article.
Yes. We didn’t want to put the names in this article in case someone wanted to read it without being spoiled.
I’m pretty sure there are no brain players from Cagayan (season 28). Was stated that only beauty tribe from that season is not represented.
There were 3 brains from Cagayan in Cambodia. The stat said that Totang and Solana are the only 2 BvBvB tribes to not have a representative on a returning player season.
Caleb is the only one to never compete in any challenge individually.
Cause Brad did and RI challenge.
there’s somehow a 4-person returning pattern in an ll-returnee season
All-Stars :
first played in Australian Outback – Tina, Jerri, Amber, Colby
Heroes Vs Villains :
played second time in All-Stars – Colby, Jerry, Rupert, Rob
played second time in Micronesia – Parvati, Cirie, Amanda, James
Cambodia :
first played in Cagayan – Woo, Kass, Spencer, Tasha
34th :
first played in Kaoh Rong – Caleb, Aubry, Debbie, Tai
or did I just miscounted?
Alicia Calaway from Australian Outback was also in All-Stars, so there were actually 5 representatives in that season, which is even crazier.
right. hahahahaha never mind.
But wait, weren’t their four Borneo players? Sue, Richard, Rudy, and Jenna. So it still counts, I think.
Fun stat : season 34 features players from 17 seasons :
The Australian Outback : Varner
Pearl Islands : Sandra
Panama : Cirie
Cook islands : Ozzy
Micronesia : Cirie, Ozzy
Tocantins : JT
Heroes vs villains : Sandra, Cirie, JT
Redemption island : Andrea
South Pacific : Ozzy
One World : Troyzan
Philippines : Malcolm
Caramoan : Andrea, Malcolm
Blood vs water : Ciera, Brad
Cagayan : Tony, Sarah
Worlds apart : Hali, Sierra
Cambodia : Varner, Ciera
Kaoh rong : Aubry, Tai, Debbie, Caleb.
Whoops I forgot season 33. So it’s 18 seasons represented in Season 34. This is a record in an all-stars season : 7 in All Stars, 13 in Heroes vs villains, 12 in Cambodia if I count well.
The only seasons non-represented in an all-stars season are Vanuatu, Fiji, and Nicaragua.
You’re wrong….Brenda was the representative of Nicaragua,Yau-Man was in Fiji and Ami & Eliza from Vanuatu..
So the only thing that is changed with knowing the placements of Zeke and Micaela is that “Brad, Caleb, and Varner are the only pre-jury players on the cast” Micaela is added to this list
