HvV is a must watch only if you watched Australia, Pearls Islands, All Stars, Palau, Panama, Cook Islands, China, Micronesia, Gabon, Tocantins and Samoa before. That is, of course, if you don't mind watching an All Stars season without knowing anyone.
For Newbies season, I recommend
China (S15) - amazing combo of strategy, personalities and location, top tier season.
Pearl Islands (S7) - an older one, but golden one, you can't go wrong with this one, esp. if you want to see how it all was 12 years ago.
Cagayan (S28) - one of the new ones, it has a bit advanced strategy so it might be confusing for a first season, but it is a great representation of modern era Survivor.
bonus - Gabon (S17) - great location and cast, it's a bit crazier season than usual, (It's about on the same levels of messyness as SYG. ) but highly enjoyable and one of the best, I'm sure it will only nudge you to watch more.
And of course, S1 - Borneo, just so you can see how it all started, a very, *very* different season from how they are today, but still a great one.
- Stephanie Valencia: She was a target from the get go for buddying up with Russell. She tried to be Parvati but completely failed in that regards.Totally doesn't deserve another chance.
- Kelley Wentworth: She was in a tribe with her own father (Dale) and got kicked out first between the two. If you can't last longer than Dale, you shouldn't be able to play. She was pretty under the radar.
- Kimmi K: It's tough because I want as many older survivors to play again, but I feel like she doesn't have what it takes to play new age survivor and will be a sitting target. Better off not having her in the first place.
- Mikayla Wingle: Who the hell was she?
These males do not deserve a second chance
- Jim Rice: He was a douchebag throughout his season and is still a douchebag. He'll be totally lost in this game.
- Brad Culpepper: He was really annoying and his arrogance got him voted out. He's already famous and probably has money so I don't see why he needs to return.
- Keith Nale: He was good in the challenges, but had no clue what this game was about. I don't want to see him again at all, he was just a nice guy and that's it. He totally got played by every person in his season and didn't realize it.
So ya'll better vote amongst the 12 women and 13 men for the top 10 positions.
In my opinion, I would also remove Monica, Natalie T one of Jeff Varner/Savage and Terry.
No, Redmond said the winner can still be on the poll, as a decoy. If anything, this almost confirms Mike.goddessa.chaste.angel.literally.jesus, her win, because if he wasn't on people would be - So that means he wins, cuz if he didn't, he would be a LOCKT for the poll!11!
Now they've put Carolyn, who's also in the game, with little to no chance at returning, not to be suspicious and they can put him in the poll and just take him out if (when. hihihi) he wins.

I agree with you on the males but not the females. With Stephanie and Kelley, they were targeted mainly because of who they were aligned with (Stephanie with Russell and Kelley with her dad). They both seem to be good gamers, outside of that, especially Kelley who I think had a lot of potential if she didn't play with her dad.
So, about Carolyn and Mike, it's still possible that one of them won because it could just be a red herring. IF one of them win Worlds Apart, then their spot is simply voided
Oh wow, it took me a while, but now I see Shane. He got old, but I think he's the male I'm looking forward to seeing the most, so you better vote bitches.
Also, I'm really disappointed with the S30 picks. Shirin and Joe are fine, but where is Hali?

But out of all the people who have been screwed over/had potential they went with Kelley? I can't tell you the first thing about her besides she looks like she doesn't have eyebrows and her dad had a giant ugly ass nose. She made less than 0 impact on her season and honestly doesn't strike me as someone who has a butt load of potential.
