Survivor season 38 speculation: Casting Fans vs. Favorites 3

Okay, let’s be real. Why hasn’t Natalie returned yet? The cunning castaway was the last member of the fans tribe left standing on the original season of Fans vs. Favorites.
Despite being pitted against Survivor heavyweights like Ozzy and Cirie, Natalie was able to keep her cool and navigate her way to the Final Four. As a member of the infamous Black Widow Brigade led by eventual winner Parvati, Natalie became known for her ability to manipulate the men in the game. She reassured Jason Siska into believing he was safe before blindsiding him with an idol in his pocket, but her most notable move is convincing Erik Reichenbach to give up his immunity then swiftly voting him out.
Natalie’s cutthroat gameplay would make her a force to be reckoned with on a Fans vs. Favorite season, and it would be nice to see a castaway from the first iteration of the theme join its third outing.
