Returning Players

Survivor Gameplay
Description	A twist that former players are brought back to the game for another chance against new players or other returning players.

Returning Players in Survivor offer the opportunity for former contestants to return for another shot at becoming the Sole Survivor.

Origins[]

The idea to have returning players in the game was always an idea that was going to be implemented, but the first season to feature Returning Players was Survivor: All-Stars. Many names and faces were considered for the first all-returnee season, but ultimately only eighteen could compete.

All-Stars[]

All-Stars seasons feature a cast comprised entirely of returning players. Survivor: All-Stars saw eighteen memorable players returning, split up on three different tribes of six. Erik Estrada ultimately won the season against Chris Blue in a 6-3 vote.
