Am I the only one who really wanted Fabio back?

Season 41: Runner Ups At War

[@Curt_Randall]

love him or hate him, you gotta respect Jeff's passion for the show. without that passion, the show never would have lasted 20 years.

[@ronaldlnz]

You need to have a runner up/should’ve won season, Jeff. Without the EOE!

[@adamsbriee6330]

Everyone bringing up lowkey winners who didn’t make the cut. But no one is bringing up the most Lowkey winner: CHRIS DAUGHERTY.

[@lerdog]

Yikes! I was hoping Jeff would say Earl, not freaking Cochran

[@kronickoliosis6115]

This is just evidence that you need to have a Winners at war 2

[@arjunkishore4080]

So what Jeff is saying is that when and Amber are the founding fathers, not Hatch and Tina...

[@TheSubPredicate]

Jeff keeps pushing that he wanted all eras of survivor represented but only gets 7 pre season 20 players compared to literally everyone from seasons 31 to 37 lol

[@Flareboxx]

I'm glad Cochran isn't on season 40... Richard Hatch would have been very interesting, but I wonder if he wasn't invited because of the sexual thing that happened in All Stars, or his jail time? I also would have loved to see Chris Underwood back so he could prove he was deserving.

[@karlscoasters1643]

“Old school players can’t win anymore the game is too fast, I don’t think so.”

[@JMaster9877]

I wish Cochran was on this season. It would've made his story come full circle. He said he wanted to prove to Jeff that he deserves to be with the best to ever play. Seeing him with all these winners would've been amazing to see him say to Jeff "Told u I would be here"

[@trevzeee]

Ik Todd had problems with alcohol and that’s probably why they didn’t bring him back but he’s legit fine now, and we need to see him again! Also Vecepia is so underrated and she didn’t even get a call for the season

[@rowan4573]

Since Jeff did talk about it I will:

[@idapettersson5550]

They should have had more old schoolers on to see how they would have played now, like: Hatch, Tina, Vecepia, Jenna, Chris, Earl, Todd and Bob. I also miss Fabio and Mike.

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

Personally, I'd have asked for Chris Daugherty from Vanuatu, simply because his story of overcoming incredible odds with the grandest deceptions and anti-hero dealings all the way to the Final Tribal Council is just INSANE, and despite his age (he'd have been playing this season on his 48th birthday iirc) he'd be a lot of fun to watch again. The same reasoning applies with Mike Holloway from Worlds Apart, and I agree that he would be fun to watch a second time as well.

[@montanamartin8905]

They should’ve got Todd and J.T

[@parkzy2920]

I was hoping it was Richard he was going to be talking about

[@hoverschmoover]

Imagine if there were 24 winners and the number of days got ramped up to 49 or 50 days, like Australian Survivor. I reckon this season will be the bomb.

[@milesbrad9975]

So no Hatch, Tina, Tom, Earl, Todd or Mike? Even then, there's a bunch of others who could take spots. Don't get me wrong, this is a solid cast. But Cochran isn't EVERYTHING. There are many others deserving to be out there this season, who I hope we see again.
