Ciera Eastin
Original Season: Blood vs Water
Original Finish: 5th place
Ciera Easton was a lock to return after voting off her mother on her original season. She’s smart, savvy, and above all nonthreatening. She should survive the bloodbath of alpha players picking one another off at the beginning of the game, and if she makes the merge I find it difficult to see a scenario where she doesn’t go deep. Had she flipped over to the Hayden, Katie, and Caleb alliance at final 7 she would have had a great case for why she should have won. I think she’ll have the opportunity to redeem herself in season 31.
Pegh-Geig Law
Original Season: China
Original Finish: 5th place
Pegh-Gee was really the only member of Zhan Hu that could have possibly beaten Todd. She showed great strategic acumen and adaptability when she came up with the idea to throw challenges to get rid of Aaron after the swap. I feel as if this season will have twists on twists and her ability to adapt will be her greatest asset.
Kelly Wentworth
Original Season: San Juan Del Sur
Original Finish: 14th place
Kelly is an almost unknown commodity in terms of how effective of a player she can be. She was greatly hampered by playing with her father, in fact he was the reason she got voted out. She won’t have her father weighing her down this season and she’s a popular winner pick.
Andrew Savage
Original Season: Pearl Islands
Original Finish: 10th place
Savage is maybe the single most screwed over player in the history of Survivor. The outcast twist was never used before and hasn’t been used since. Eliminated players were not a part of the game and there was no way he could have predicted it. He was the leader of the Survivor equivalent of a sinking ship, willing the Morgans to challenge wins in order to tie the game up at 5 heading into the merge. The twist brought Lil back into the game and she was not happy with Savage. This time I don’t see them doing a twist like that again, and I do think he has what it takes to win.
Stephen Fisbach
Original Season: Tocantins
Original Finish: 2nd
I think time has been kind to Fishbach. He lost the jury vote 7-0 in season 18 but people have come around to realize that he was the brains of that operation. (Especially with JT’s showing in Heroes vs Villains) He will be in trouble right off the bat due to his perceived weakness in challenges, but if he can make the merge he will be one to watch.
Tasha Fox
Original Season: Cagayan
Original Finish: 6th place
Tasha is one of my all time favorite Survivors. She was amazing in season 29, winning three individual immunity challenges after the merge, and proving she was a strategic force premerge. If she can get on the right side of the numbers post merge I can see her taking over and winning the game.
