Click on a contestant to eliminate them, space for merge, click the episode count to move onto the next episode ----------------------------------------------------------------- What if, instead of a brand new cast, we got a new season with 16 returning contestants? This is my ideal cast in that situation! It was kinda difficult limiting it to 16 contestants & 13 episodes, there's a lot of other characters I'd love to see back (DJ, Leshawna, Lindsay, Harold, Tyler, Lightning, B, Anne Maria, Topher etc.) but I settled with these 16 ----------------------------------------------------------------- These are some of my reasons for picking them: - Duncan, Gwen, Courtney, Trent: I NEED an actual resolution to the love triangle, with all 3 of them & Trent getting good endings, bc all stars basically just spat on all of them (I literally can't look at Courtney, Gwen or Duncan the same after all stars). Ideally Gwent & Duncney both get back together but I wouldn't really mind even if none of them get back together, as long as they all end up happy I'm good. - Owen, Scott, Heather & Alejandro They're all too iconic to leave out in a big returning season & Alejandro needs some more time to develop into a more well-rounded character imo, maybe show a little more of his flaws - Max, Sugar, Izzy We need to have some comedic relief & this was the best way to do it while balancing out how many I took from each gen (it'd probably be better to have most of them as early boots though). Also Sugar could've been a Justin-like villain in the sense that she's got the brain of a rock but she'd still scheme to get others out + she's kinda funny and (at least thinks that she's) pretty. I could also see her liking Scott & absolutely hating Courtney which would be funny - Jo, Brick Literally the 2 characters with the most wasted potential in the whole series, especially Jo. Jo 100% could've & should've been a Duncan or Heather-like villain with a heart type character, in roti we get to see moments of her being actually nice to Brick & Cameron and there's that side-plot of her being insecure about her femininity which definitely should've been explored more. They made her so one note in All-Stars. - Jasmine & Shawn I'm not gonna lie here I just needed to even out the casts and these 2 were the best options, I don't see either of them playing a massive role but It'd be fun to see them interact with characters from other gens - Dawn I really just need her to do her aura reading thing & help other characters develop tbh, she could help Duncan to realise he doesn't have to be a bad guy to prove himself, help Brick/Shawn to overcome their fears, Owen could ask for her help to better understand Izzy, that Jo thing I mentioned earlier, there's a lot you could do with her in relation to other characters. By herself I don't really know what the writers could do with her though. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry about not having any rejoins or debuts that's just bc the season's only supposed to be 13 episodes
My elimination order: (not based on how much I like the characters) Episode 1: - Teams formed, Frogs of Death vs Ferocious Trout - 16th: Shawn, vote: 4-2-1-1. He made everyone kinda uncomfortable with his zombie obsession and didn't bother to build a relationship with anyone on his team Episode 2: - 15th: Izzy, vote: 4-2-1. She didn't help in the challenges & Courtney found her really annoying so she started a campaign against her to vote her off the island (which only really worked bc of Scott) Episode 3: - 14th: Max, vote: 4-3-1. Reason: Everyone on the team found him annoying or didn't trust him because of what happened in Pahkitew. The only thing I could picture him doing this season is having some funny moments with Alejandro & Heather where he idolises them and tries to show them his 'evil' but that's really it, so he's probably outlived his usefulness to the show by Episode 3 Episode 4: - 13th: Dawn, vote: 3-2-1. Dawn, despite having become friends with Duncan & Owen in the past couple episodes doesn't have any strong ties with anyone and so would be an easy target for Scott to take out and an easy way to balance out the control of the votes in the team. So Scott is basically the mastermind behind her elimination (again). Episode 5: - 12th: Duncan, vote: 3-2. By now Scott & Sugar would be voting together (I imagine Sugar would have a crush on Scott just bc of the farm thing), and because Courtney won't vote with him anymore, Scott takes all the help he can get and strings Sugar along. He would bully Owen into voting for Duncan with them and blindside both Duncan & Courtney for a dramatic elimination. Also, by this episode I would've wanted Duncan & Courtney to get back together and for them both to be on friendly terms with Gwen (I know this is biased just bc I love Duncan & Courtney together but let me have this ok) so the guy can actually have a nice send off instead of that horrible ending in all stars Episode 6: - 11th: Gwen, vote: 3-3-1. It was between her & Heather, with Brick being the deciding vote & ultimately opting to vote Jo instead just because she was so annoying with forcing him to decide. This would force a tiebreaker, which would be won by Heather. But I would love it if just before Gwen's about to be eliminated Heather compliments her as a competitor, giving their rivalry a sweet resolution instead of just completely ignoring it and barely having the characters interact like they did in all stars (also have Gwen & Trent get back together because I love the og Island couples too much) Episode 7: - 10th: Owen, vote: 3-1. Scott decided that he had become useless to him by this point in the game with only 4 people left on their team so he voted him out. The only reason Owen got this far is bc he's such an iconic character it just feels wrong to not make him last long in a comeback season scenario Episode 8: - 9th: Jasmine, vote: 4-2. Up until now Alejandro, Jo & Heather had all been trying to fake a friendship with her (Alejandro being the only one to actually succeed with this), but all 3 of them decided she was too much of a physical threat to keep around past the merge. Episode 9: - MERGE - - 8th/7th: Alejandro & Scott, vote: 4-4. At this point in the game, everybody hated Scott. And anybody who didn't hate Scott hated Alejandro, so it was an easy vote. Also I think it'd be cool to have both the big villains of the season go out in the same elimination ceremony, I'd make it a bit painful too just to give them some karma (not on the same level of pain that Scott's elimination & Alejandro's loss in roti & wt had tho) Episode 10: - 6th: Heather, vote: 2-1-1-1-1. Heather would just get unlucky here, being caught out in a scattered elimination ceremony. I'd just have the Brick-Jo & Courtney-Heather AND Courtney-Sugar AND Heather-Sugar AND Jo-Heather rivalries be really intense this episode to the point they all try to vote each other off. So overall they all hate each other apart from Trent who'd probably win immunity just bc he wasn't involved in any of that Episode 11: - 5th: Sugar, vote: 4-1. Nobody really liked her at this point (or at any point of the season tbh), and now that Heather & Scott were gone & the Brick/Jo rivalry was starting to calm down, she was an easy boot. Episode 12: - 4th: Jo, she would be automatically eliminated by Trent & Brick after they beat Jo & Courtney in the challenge (kinda similar to what happened to Duncan in island except the winning team gets to decide who to eliminate instead of Chef) Episode 13: FINALE All the eliminated contestants are brought back to cheer for their finalist of choice 3rd: Trent, he was the last to complete the first part of the challenge 2nd: Brick 1st: Courtney! (I would prefer alternate endings for Brick & Courtney but since they didn't do it in the reboot I'm not doing that here)
