Ways of Returning[]

All-Stars Seasons[]

All-Stars seasons feature a cast comprised entirely of returning players known for how well they played in their season(s).

One Returnee per Tribe[]

The One Returnee per Tribe twist sees two returning players competing against new castaways, with one returnee placed on each of the competing tribes.

The twist was first introduced in Survivor: Durban. Two former castaways, Anthony L. and Robert (Disney) T. both from Survivor: Philippines ,returned to play due to the fact they were friends in the game, to redeem their selves and also Robert (Disney) T. voted for Anthony L to win the game.

The Exile Island twist saw the resurrection of this method for introducing Returnees. In Survivor: Peru - Exile Island, Bubba D. and Tyrone W., were brought back for a second chance.  

Newbies vs. Veterans[]

This twist was first introduced in Survivor: Myanmar. Nine brand new castaways "newbies" are pitted against nine castaways who previously competed in the game "veterans". These veterans were voted off by someone using an idol at that specific tribal council they were in.

Success in the Game[]

The players who have returned for future seasons have for the most part all done very well in seasons with new players.
