There is always a blue-collar guy that either has a folksy persona or comes into the show like a bull in a China shop, ready to knock everyone down in an aggressive way. Unlike any of the other suggestions on this list, Mike Holloway has already won a million dollars playing Survivor, so appearing on Big Brother would likely be a downgrade, all things considered.

However, should he ever appear, he has an ace up the sleeve. He is currently dating Meg Maley, who once appeared on Big Brother 17. Having knowledge of how the house operates, how to play the social game during the long, tedious weeks where you have little to entertain yourself, and how to protect your image both socially and strategically is a huge leg up.

As we saw in Survivor, Mike is a challenge beast when his life is on the lie. Many people remember him making a huge mistake and having to play a very linear game en route to the title of Sole Survivor, but he did have a strong social game before then. I do think that Mike would be backdoored somewhere in the mid-game, but you need strong threats to make up a cast.
