As much as there's a good number of people who I'd love to see again, especially since my 18th birthday is near (US residents 18+ can apply for Survivor), I think we need to give more first-time players a chance. We've had 3 completely new seasons out of the last 8. That formula works well for Total Drama Island but not for Survivor. At the very least we need to try a few consecutive seasons with new casts to see if returning players (or the lack of) have an affect on the amount of viewers instead of just the rise of the internet and DVR.
