Also, s26 is Fans Vs Favorites and I'm pretty sure that

Colton and Troyzan from One World are returning.

Kind of doubt that last bit, considering Jeff Probst just gave an interview like a month ago saying that

Spoiler (Click to reveal/hide)

Colton isn't the kind of person they want to bring back. Also Colton is way too chubs to have just come back from filming Survivor

But the returnees this time around aren't so bad.

Spoiler (Click to reveal/hide)

Kind of feel like I've seen enough of Penner though.

[DharmaLager]

I'm kind of glad we're getting returnees - esp. after this latest season.

Survivor 26 is filming in two weeks. They haven't left yet.....

Yeah, they aren't the power houses either. People who have a reason to return...

That's good to know - I'm not familiar with all of them, didn't start watching until later on, so I'm not familiar with everyone who returns usually.

True, and Jeff Probst gave an interview yesterday I saw where he said that they were "probably" having Colton back "at some point". Backtracking, so you're probably right actually, which really sucks. Colton is not the kind of player I want to see again.

I read that too. I almost feel like, based on his past intereview(where he sounded like Colton wouldn't return) and this one. It almost sounds liek the higher ups want Colton on, but Jeff does not? He really seemned **** at him in the reunion and the "he'll probably be on" was almost like "The execs love him for some reason sorry guys :/" in any case i hope he never comes back

Spoiler (Click to reveal/hide)

I am really satisfied with the 3 returnees though espically Skupin.

Colton was the highlight of a mediocre season. He was someone you wanted to watch because you wanted to hate him. This last season of Survivor was one of the lowest ever, and thats because Colton was the only "character" on the show. Plus I wouldn't mind him coming back, playing with the big boys and having him put in his place.

Spoiler (Click to reveal/hide)

If you follow Skupin on Twitter, he seems full of himself and has a sense of entitlement - both telltale signs of an *******. I'd like to see how far Penner goes. Swan I couldnt care less about there are many different "med-vac's" that could take his place.

The next season, S26 has started filming, on the 20th, and Colton has tweeted (like, pictures even so I don't know if there's much room for doubt) since then...

Also, looking at the rumored contestants for the S26...this seems to be a lot of speculation with a few confirmed nuggets of info, but it's worth taking a look at.

Spoiler (Click to reveal/hide)

I was looking at a site (SurvivorSucks, which is usually good about this stuff) and they were sort of speculating about who is going to be in S26 based off of things like sudden twitter absences and things that survivors are saying, and it seems like they came up with the following
Corrinne (Gabon): This one is basically confirmed because Corrinne posted a super obvious status about traveling internationally
Brenda (Nicaragua)
Dawn (South Pacific)
Andrea (Redemption Island): I doubt this one as the people there are basing this off of her tweets being different lately, and her not replying to people and stuff since filming began. They think that she's having someone else do her tweets to throw people off.
Cochran (South Pacific)
Phillip (Redemption Island)
Erik R (Micronesia)

I like pretty much all those people except Corinne who I honestly felt was just being a fake villian to get attention. Her gameplay kinda sucked.

But I do think people on sucks have a good point, that since the returnees aren't the usual power-house types it might even the playing field this time. Since the rumor is its another fans vs favorites type

[Dogma9]

Was Zane the dumbest first boot ever what was he thinking. You never give people a reason to vote you out on the FIRST vote when no one wants to be last and will pretty much do anything.

At this point im hoping Penner gets the idol. But Russel is kinda failing at the game this time so im thinking he will maybe go next.

Hopefully Skupin makes a less annoying alliance. I hope he goes far but those two girls annoyed me so much though. I tihnk he has a good strategy of going with the flow assuming he doesn't hurt himself again

[Iceman]

Skupin is gonna kill himself.

I think his tribe is dominant. Penners is strong, but theres a lot more internal drama than Skupins.

Russell's is..............well..........................they brought the wrong Russell back.

[charliefan4life]

I was glad Russell got to come back and play...until he went crazy about 5 minutes in. I like Denise but the rest of that tribe is a mess. Or what's left of it at this point. I couldn't stand Penner before but so far he's doing pretty well this season. Skupin seems hell-bent on hurting himself. He should probably stay away from the fire. Abi-Marie is coming off as a bitch. I hope Michael, Lisa and RC link up and take her out.

[Dogma9]

The editing in that last scene of the challenge was freaking beautiful lol. Just swing back and hits it. Russellll O_O wow lmao hes crazy. Sorry to say i'm glad hes gone. Makes you wonder if we would have seen more of this side of him if he hadn't been medicated in Samoa lol.

I feel bad for RC since she seems like she could be a good player but her alliance choices so far have been pretty terrible and just insane lol. Penner seems to be making good use of his idol though lol.
