Survivor: Cook Islands really doesn’t have that many returnees, but here are five players we wouldn’t mind seeing back in the game again.

Four players fromSurvivor: Cook Islandshave come back to play, all more than once: Jonathan Penner (played three times total), Candice Cody (played three times total), Parvati Shallow (three times total), and Ozzy Lusth (four times total). That’s a good fifth of the cast. However, no one else has actually returned. Even though bothSurvivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlersand season 36 both consist of all-new players, it’d be silly to assume thatSurvivorwon’t dip into the returnee pool yet again.

Think of this as ourSurvivor: Cook Islandswishlist, since it has been over a decade since any of these people played, and they might have moved on from the game.

5. Sundra Oakley

Although Sundra probably comes off as the quietest of the Aitu Four throughoutCook Islands, she’s still one member of a famous four-person alliance that might have a nice redemption arc — or at the very least, a good way to establish her character.

Why?

It’s all because of how she finished in fourth place by tiebreaker. Coming back toSurvivorto prove once and for all that she knows how to make and build a fire high enough to ring a bell and win a tiebreaker would be a great moment. (Besides, there would be plenty of material for Jeff Probst to play off on there, which counts for something since he’s also an executive producer.)
