"It's been a great 17 seasons of Survivor," smiled Jeff, unusually dressed in a suit and tie, reading through stacks of paper, "And we've had some lows and some highs. Now, we're finally deciding to bring back players that never got their fair shot at the money."
One by one familiar contestants walked in and out of Jeff's office.
"20 of your favorite pre-merge players are returning for their second shot at the money, and shot at redeeming themselves, and fulfilling their destiny. Let's meet them."
– – – – –
Name: Samara
Season: Forest Maze
Finish: 6th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Mossono
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Samara was a strong woman in her season. She was the first of six to receive individual immunity from booted players, and as soon as it was gone, they got rid of her immediately. I think Samara is ready for a second shot, and I think she can do it."
– – – – –
Name: Shadow
Season: SEGA All Stars
Finish: 2nd Voted Out
Tribe(s): Samba
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Shadow had a weird strategy entering the game, and it was to make no alliances and still make it to the end. After he was eliminated, Shadow learned that he did indeed need alliances, and he plans to make a strong one in his second shot."
– – – – –
Name: Cloud
Season: Reals vs. OCs
Finish: 3rd Voted Out
Tribe(s): Malakal, Airai
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Cloud was strong, yet silent. It was very unlikely that he was in any danger of going home after the swap, but apparently, he did, and that's why Airai never won a whole lot. I think Cloud will do more this time around then just be a physical player."
– – – – –
Name: Quan Chi
Season: Edenia
Finish: 2nd Eliminated
Tribe(s): Outworld
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "Quan Chi was setting up to be our new big Survivor villain. He was cunning, he was manipulative, and he wanted the numbers. However, Sindel's influence swayed the tribe, and he was taken out. Quan Chi better have a Plan B in store for his game."
– – – – –
Name: Niko
Season: Redemption Island & Virmire
Finish: 5th Eliminated / 8th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Nokowawa, Matsing, Tandang
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Niko is the only player returning for redemption for the third time. That could make him a target. I always believed in Niko to do well, to show that he had what it took. Both times he came close to the merge, and just missed it. I think Niko will be a threat out here."
– – – – –
Name: Tails
Season: SEGA All Stars
Finish: 3rd Voted Out
Tribe(s): Emerald
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "We're taking a risk with Tails. I don't think Tails was that big of a character in his season, but fans loved him, so we're going to see what he can do this time around. I know the guy's got the brains, but can he put it to good use?"
– – – – –
Name: Leafeon
Season: Cuties
Finish: 7th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Violet
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Leafeon was ready to quit Day 4 or 5 in Cuties, but one of our most likable players, Lady, went into motherly mode, and convinced her not to. She didn't add much to the game, but she didn't give up, even when it looked terrible for her."
– – – – –
Name: Rizzo
Season: Distant
Finish: 8th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Zapatera, Ometepe
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "Limberg has been the only Distant returnee until now. We're finally deciding to bring back players from Survivor Distant, and well... who could say no to Rizzo? I mean this guy was Limberg's top enemy before the merge. Rizzo's got tricks up his sleeve, and he's ready to win."
– – – – –
Name: Barney
Season: Forest Maze
Finish: 1st Voted Out
Tribe(s): Volt
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "I did say at the beginning of Forest Maze to watch Barney, as he was going to be a big character. Turns out, he ended up going home first. But Barney is compelling to watch, and I'm very happy that he's taken the time to return to play Survivor once more."
– – – – –
Name: B.D. Joe
Season: SEGA All Stars
Finish: 5th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Samba
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "I liked B.D. Joe's style that he brought to the table. He was laid back, he was cool, he kept a positive attitude. Sadly, he caught got playing too hard and made too many deals. Now B.D. Joe is back, and ready to make an improvement."
– – – – –
Name: Luigi
Season: Reals vs. OCs
Finish: 5th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Malakal, Airai
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Luigi's gameplay compared greatly from that of his brother Mario whom competed in SEGA All Stars. Luigi could've went far, but came so close to the merge. This time, Luigi is looking for redemption, and he wants it badly."
– – – – –
Name: Dexter
Season: Aquatic Ruin
Finish: 3rd Voted Out
Tribe(s): Savaii
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "Dexter was a last minute decision in Aquatic Ruin, and it seemed to us that he was going to go deep into the game. However, Sweet Tooth happened. With the Silent Betrayal claiming it's first victim, Dexter is ready to show off what he has."
– – – – –
Name: N. Tropy
Season: Virmire
Finish: 6th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Tandang, Matsing
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "N. Tropy was always going on and on about time this and time that. He was seriously duped after he was voted out, and couldn't understand why. So N. Tropy has decided to come back, and prove his worth as the Master of Time."
– – – – –
Name: Bomberman
Season: Redemption Island
Finish: 4th Eliminated
Tribe(s): Hapino, Nokowawa
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "I liked Bomberman's spirit. I really think he had a good shot to go deep into the game. However, that swap happened at the wrong time, and bam, Bomberman went right out the door. Hopefully, Bomberman does better then before, and redeems himself."
– – – – –
Name: Vixey
Season: Cuties
Finish: 3rd Voted Out
Tribe(s): Rose
Chosen By: Fans
Jeff's Assessment: "Vixey was a favorite mainly because she was herself. She did what was right, and sadly for her, she told the truth, and it costed her a million dollars. This time, Vixey wants to be a quiet player, and help her tribe win the game."
– – – – –
Name: Ashton
Season: Marble
Finish: 5th Voted Out
Tribe(s): Corr, Tomqi
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "All in all, the leadership twist is was caused Ashton's demise, and it was a sad demise, because Ashton could've done so well. Instead he was out early, and now he's seeking redemption. Can this be the season for an OC to win one? Ashton thinks so."
– – – – –
Name: Urcle
Season: Koopa Beach
Finish: 9th Voted Out, 1st Jury Member
Tribe(s): Populars, Etruskan
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "The thing about Urcle is that she was such an underrated character in Koopa Beach. I really enjoyed her team spirit and motivation to get the job done. She got the short end of the stick in Koopa Beach, but perhaps she has what it takes this time."
– – – – –
Name: Rain
Season: Edenia
Finish: 1st Eliminated
Tribe(s): Outworld
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "Rain has to be the most unlucky player in the history of this series. He was ready to play the game, and then... immediately ousted by your tribe on Day 1! He loses to Jade the following day, and left the game too early. Rain needed a second shot, and this is his chance."
– – – – –
Name: Jared
Season: Emerald Hill
Finish: 1st Voted Out
Tribe(s): Grounder
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "Newsflash, Jared was never a pedophile! On the Survivor application, he didn't want to write unemployed, and decided to make up a lie and play along with it. He realized that mistake could've costed him a million dollars. I think Jared is hysterical, and could win."
– – – – –
Name: Hartman
Season: Redemption Island
Finish: 3rd Eliminated
Tribe(s): Hapino
Chosen By: Producers
Jeff's Assessment: "This is not the same Sergeant Hartman you saw back on Redemption Island. This Hartman has decided to forgo his bossy attitude, and just lay low. I'm guessing it's because of his old age. He's nearly 60, and he wants to play Survivor, and win it. I root for him if he can."
– – – – –
"I'm really interested to seeing how this season plays out. Will we have great players, or will they all be run over by the mistakes they made in the past?" wondered Jeff, "Either way, we have a preview for you to take a great gander at, so enjoy."
– – – – –
It's time for past contestants of Survivor...
"I'm so ready for this. It's my turn to become the Sole Survivor, something I once failed to do. Not this time, though. I'm not failing." - Ashton
"They all love me. You cannot deny that one bit." - Jared
To get their second shot at the million dollars.
Cloud clapped his hands as the Salani tribe entered a challenge, "Let's kick some ass."
Shadow overheard him from the other tribe, and smirked, "And a pleasure that'll be."
All of them never got a chance to prove themselves, as they were all voted out early.
"I'm here to win! I'm not giving up whatsoever! Salani will win everything, and I will do my best to help my team!" - Urcle
"This is my third time being out here. It's do or die, and I ain't dying yet." - Niko
So now is their chance! They each have one thing in common... they will do anything to win!
"I am the Master of Time!" declared N. Tropy, "And I will prove it this time!"
Leafeon rolled her eyes playfully, giggling at N. Tropy's words.
Alliances will form!
"You have my word!" smiled Tails, "Nothing will break this alliance."
"Good to hear." smiled Dexter, shaking Tails' hand.
B.D. Joe frowned, listening to Rain, "Dude, that ain't gonna happen again. Just stay close to me, and it'll be aiight."
Rain nodded, and shook B.D. Joe's hand, "Then I will work with you, B.D. Joe."
Can one of these players prove they have what it takes to become the Sole Survivor?
"It's all or nothing this time, and I'm not going to stop for nothing!" - Luigi
"The Queen's influence brought upon my demise. This time will be much different, and that pleases me." - Quan Chi
"I'm not playing the leader game. That led to disaster, and lemme tell you what, I'd be voted out quickly. I need that money, so I gotta step back." - Hartman
"Limberg ain't the puppet mouse, squee! That would be me! I'm here to prove that!" - Rizzo
Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast all the rest, on Survivor: Destiny Isles? Find out after the finale of Survivor: Edenia.
"Manono all the way!" cheered Barney, high fiving Bomberman, Vixey, and Samara one by one, "Let's win this thing! This will be legend, wait for it... dary!"
"Not this man again..." (sighs, facepalming) - Samara
– – – – –
Manono: B.D. Joe, Barney, Bomberman, Jared, Niko, Quan Chi, Rain, Rizzo, Samara, and Shadow
Salani: Ashton, Cloud, Dexter, Hartman, Leafeon, Luigi, N. Tropy, Tails, Urcle, and Vixey
