So, after finishing watching Survivor Heroes versus Villains, and with them recently doing a Fans versus Favorites 2, it got me thinking, what might a Heroes versus Villains 2 look like. This is my own personal cast who I would like to see if they ever do a season like this. Keep in mind I've only seen about 14 seasons, so my knowledge is a little limited, but I've come up with a full cast. I know some of the choices are ridiculous, but this the cast that I want, not what I think will happen. So please refrain from commenting like "X will never come back" or "Y cannot be considered a Villain" or "Z is not All-Star material" thanks. I avoided picking people who I knew would never return, but all the rest I tried to make reasonably justifications and explanations. And here they are.

Heroes:

Christina Cha (One World):
Christina was an underdog in One World. She was the person everyone wanted out, yet somehow kept surviving to 4th place. Despite all the negative attention she got from the her tribemates, she really did seem to have positive intentions are resolve conflicts as peacefully as possible. She ended up in a really uphill battle and never really stood a chance even if she had made final 3, so I think that's grounds to return. Also, I read somewhere that she was considered for Caramoan, I'm skeptical about how credible this source is, but that's beside the point.

Erik Reichenbach (Micronesia/Caramoan):
Erik's played twice and both times he had pretty painful exits. In his first time he was the awestruck fan who made a naive mistake and got taken out for it. In his second time he was way more aware of the game and played smarter, but got screwed thanks to medical reasons. Erik's grown and learned a lot already, and I'd like to see him get one more chance where he's at the top of his game. Of course, given everything he's been through, I don't know if he'd want to return to the show, but he does seem like one of the true fans in the "Fan" category, so I'd really like to see him come back.

Lisa Whelchel (Philippines):
Lisa was the star of Philippines, no question about that. She was the sweet old lady who had to learn how to play a more strategic game. It was a great story and a great growth, I'd say she's earned her spot in an All-Star cast. Again, I've heard that Probst wanted her on Caramoan, but didn't ask due to her being a mother. If she ever is available to return, though, I think she'd be a shoe-in for the Heroes.

Jud "Fabio" Birza (Nicaragua):
Fabio was a winner, and on top of that, he was one of the few winners who wasn't a master strategist. He was just a nice guy who got himself to the end and that was enough to win the prize. I think the fact that he was such a unique winner qualifies him as an All-Star and the fact that he was able to do it without being less of a nice guy qualifies him as a Hero.

Brenda Lowe (Nicaragua/Caramoan)
Ironic to have her on the Heroes side when she was such a big villain in Nicaragua, but I think that Caramoan was a huge turnaround for her that is enough to get her on the other side. In Caramoan she tried hard to be more friendly, and she was, she wasn't a cutthroat strategist she was a fun, sweet girl, who got hit by a very cruel twist of fate. Her switch from Villain to Hero, as well as the way her exit was done, I think both qualify her to return.

Bob Crowley (Gabon):
Another winner. Like Fabio, Bob was able to make it to the end without really making any enemies. He played with integrity and morals and that all paid off for him in the end. Bob was an all around strong Survivor, he was useful at camp, he was liked by everyone, and he knew how to play strategic and get himself out of tight situations. He's a clear threat and should be brought back again.

Eliza Orlins (Vanuatu/Micronesia):
What is there to say about Eliza? She's the plucky, annoying girl who never went down without a fight. Her best run was in Vanuatu where she made it all the way to fourth place despite the constant target on her back, but she played strong in Micronesia too. She's like the permanent underdog and I think after all she's fought through, she deserve a third chance on the Heroes side.

Bruce Kanegai (Panama):
Bruce was a really fun, wacky guy on his original season. He didn't play the strategic game, but still wound up in a pretty good position. He seemed like a nice decent guy who could easily qualify as a hero. I think he deserves to come back because he was removed due to medical reasons close to the end of the game. He needs a second chance.

Lillian Morris (Pearl Islands):
Without a doubt, I think Lillian deserves to return. She was screwed pretty much right from the start in PI for reasons out of her control. I think almost no matter who she went up against in the final 2, she would have lost just because she was an Outcast and didn't stay the full 39 days. On top of that a lot of people seemed to hold her Scout Uniform against her so they could use her lack of honour as a way to attack her. But Lil did prove that she was an adept player, or else she wouldn't have gotten herself to the final 2. I think she's earned a shot to try again without anything being held against her.

Yau-Man Chan (Fiji/Micronesia):
A pretty easy pick, Yau-Man is a Survivor legend. He was the breakout star of Fiji where he surprised everyone by dominating the game despite his outward appearance. In Micronesia his reputation caught up with him and he was targeting for just being too much of a threat in general. Apparently he was invited back for Heroes versus Villains, but had to decline, so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't' try to get him back again.

Villains:

Todd Herzog (China):
Todd has got to be one of the most dangerous players. He dominated the entire game, he was able to play everyone around him and never fell under any heat, and then he pulled off a pretty strong win by the end. He's definitely a major villain in Survivor history and I think he's earned a spot on the Villains Tribe.

Sherri Biethman (Caramoan):
As you can see in the early episodes of Caramoan, Sherri is a dominating bitch who knows how to get the game in her hands. Unfortunately, she got screwed by the tribe switch and merge where she lost all her power and her only hope was to float her way to the end. This of course ruined her chances with the jury, but he had to admit, she could still be a fierce player when she had the power, so I think she should be given another shot.

Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton (Pearl Islands/Micronesia):
I know Probst has a grudge against him and he's probably not returning, but I don't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility. Fairplay was a huge landmark for Survivor villains. He was fully embracing his title as a villain and playing up his character role. He is full of personality and playfulness, that even in his one episode of Micronesia he still stole the show. Like I said, he is a landmark in Survivor, and not having him come back for a season like this would just be tragic.

Alicia Rosa (One World):
Alicia was a horrible person who bullied other people on her season, and yet actually thought she had a chance to win, so of course she should come back as a Villain. She was really delusional in her first season, so the question is would she do anything different if she came back? Would she actually be a competent strategist, or would she fall right back into the same trap?

Ken Hoang (Gabon):
Ken had a really great story arc in his season. He started out as the small, geeky guy, but he turned into a massive arrogant mastermind. He took control of the game and let the power go to his head, which led to his downfall. He proved to be a very dangerous player though, and after a story like that, I think he's earned his right to come back.

Twila Tanner (Vanuatu):
Twila was someone who was full of personality so she is sure to make things interesting if she returns. She is aggressive and obnoxious and won't back down. In her original season she made it all the way to the end only to have her foul personality turn potential votes against her. She's another person who I've heard was rumored to be considered for Heroes Versus Villains but cut at the last minute, so if that's true it would make sense of them to want her back.

James "Rocky" Reid (Fiji):
Rocky may have been a premerge boot, but he was such a big force in the story that I think he's still earned his spot on this season. For one thing, you gotta hand it to the guy for being a fighter. He was on one of the suckiest tribes ever, and held down by an unfair twist, and he was one of the only people to be stuck on this tribe throughout the whole premerge. You can understand why he was so angry all the time. But with that aside, he still was very much a villain. He was rude and a bully and by the end everyone hated him. So why wouldn't you want him back? Maybe this time he won't get stuck on such an unfair twist.

Jaime Dugan (China):
Jaime was adorable, but still I believe she counts as a villain. She picked up the game fast and soon became a dangerous strategist. Some of her big moments include throwing a challenge to get rid of her new teammates and being barely able to contain her laughter, and then playing a fake idol and being taken out. She was cute, funny, and dangerous, definitely someone I want to see back.

Marty Piombo (Nicaragua):
Marty is a really good combination of personality and strategy. He was a bit of a wacky guy who didn't always seem to know exactly what he was doing, yet at the same time he had a good grasp on people and could get what he wanted out of them. He was the kind of villain who is fun to watch and makes things interesting. And he's another person who I heard was considered to return, for Caramoan this time, so as usual that's always a plus.

Abi-Maria Gomes (Philippines):
How could I not include her? Abi was a hilarious trainwreck, epic fail, villain. She was explosive and clueless and yet despite all this she somehow kept on getting by right to the final 5. On top of this, she seems aware of how she was perceived in the end and that means that she might improve her game if she ever plays again. I heard somewhere that she declined to return, but that doesn't mean that she's out forever, she could always change her mind.

Anyways, that's might list. Not likely, I know, but it was just something I wanted to put up. Thanks for reading ^_^
