Okay, pretty sure every season (sans the final 2 seasons of the original) has someone return so Island isn't the only season with the problem.

Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, and Cody tried to in Not Quite Famous but Heather manipulated four other people into booting Justin instead. Plus Izzy was eliminated through abnormal means in up the Creek, Cody got mauled by a bear so they others voted him out for his safety (plus they knew they can eliminate Heather anytime considering her poor social game), and Beth was out for cursing the team which they assumed caused their three consecutive loses.
