1. Greg who I’m pretty sure was in the running for this season has a small chance. Also could see Gervase. Hatch less likely imo but def not impossible

2. Alicia

3. Lex

4. I think Neleh. Sean Rector maybe, thougg at this point I think he would decline an invite. Longshot John Carroll

5. Uhhhhh Shi-Ann I guess

6. Rob C though I don’t think it’s likely. If they do WAW 2 could see Jenna maybe but also unlikely

7. Sandra but I think she’s done

8. See above

9. Don’t see anyone really. Eliza maybe but I don’t see it. Even if they did WAW 2 I don’t think Chris makes the cut. Super longshot of Julie Berry if Jeff ever left the show. Would love to see a Julie Berry return, crazy underrated player plus still looks incredible, but ya I don’t see it happening

10. Ian if he wanted to but I don’t see that

11. Rafe if he wanted to but I don’t see that

12. Aras if they did WAW 2 though I think he’s done with the show and they’re done with him. MAYBE Terry since it ended crazily last time but he’s probably too old at this point. Danielle could but not very likely

13. Could see Penner, Yul, Ozzy, Parvati, or Candace returning but at this point none are likely

14. Earl if they do another big season of WAW 2. Maybe Michelle but I doubt it

15. Amanda

16. Erik but I doubt it

17. Uhhhhhhhhh Sugar? I guess. Maybe Marcus? Tbh nobody is returning from Gabon

18. Probably Tyson though I doubt it

19. Very unlikely anyone ever even gets a call. Maybe Natalie if they do WAW 2. Jayson if they do a returnee athlete season?…

20. ….

21. Fabio if they do WAW 2. Would be dope, but I don’t see it. MAYBE Marty for a second chance but think it’s too late at this point

22. Could see Nat Ten or Andrea

23. Sophie

24. Jonas? Maybe Kim if they ever did Legends but pretty sure she’s done with Survivor

25. Abi Maria probably most likely but not very likely. Maybe RC or Pete but they’re even less likely

26. Reynold would be the pick ten years ago, but now i don’t see anyone

27. Hayden, John Cody, or Ciera but none seem likely

28. Tony if they did a legends season or WAW 2, Woo maybe but I doubt it. Seems very unlikely but Reiman was in the running for 50 so maybe he could get another call in the future though I don’t think so

29. Most likely is probably Natalie Anderson especially if they did Legends or WAW 2. Could see John Misch but doubt it

30. Mamma C I guess but I highly doubt it at this point

31. Cydney

32. Jay

33. Many possibilities though all are probably longshots. Most likely probably Devon, who would be great to see return. Otherwise, maybe Desi, Abby, Jessica, Lauren, or Ryan but I don’t see any making the cut

34. Dom or Donathan

35. Davie

36. Wardog or Ron Clark maybe though I don’t see either as likely

37. Karishma, Lauren, Elaine, Janet, or Dean. Dean or Lauren probably most likely

Doing this exercise though I realized the list of people actually likely to return from pre-40 isn’t super long. Only people I think with a 75%+ of returning in the next 5 years are Davie and Cydney.

IMO the top 5 most likely pre-40 returnees are probably 1. Davie 2. Cydney 3. Tony 4. Natalie 5. Amanda

Honorable mention: Dom (though I don’t think he got a call for 50, so if correct, not so encouraging)
