The truth is returning players garner higher ratings. So, I think it is here to stay. Personally, I don't mind the returning players, I just don't want to see them play 4 or 5 times. There are players out there that have only played once (Hunter Ellis from Marquesas, Jeff Varner from Austraila, Judd from Guatemala) that I would love to see come back. However, it will prob never happen. They seem to love recycling the same players. Did Boston Rob really need to play that many times? Jeff Probst has a hard on for him, so they brought him back as many times as they could till he won. Coach is another one. He annoyed the hell out of me the very first time he played. And, now we have Phillip, again....
