Shoot, so many missed opportunities, now that I realize it, in that had Season 29 been an exact repeat of BvW - 10 returnees and their loved ones - we could've covered SOOOOO much ground with people who were cut from the original BvW. Shoot, we could've had Marty Piombo, Terry Deitz and Shane Powers (thus opening up two MORE spots in Cambodia), Cirie, Jerri, Chelsea Meissner, Jane and Holly from Nicaragua, and so many others who could've been REALLY good...all far superior to the crap cast we got in Season 29. XP

And yeah, TDWTisAWESOME, I like your timeline WAY better: No returnees in RI or SP, and half of Season 29 being returnees. It would've made this era feel just slightly less clusterf**ky. And I also completely overlooked your mention of Season 26 just being Fans vs. Favorites 3. I'm totally onboard with that, yeah; we have four straight seasons of newbies (for the first time since the Panama - China spread), of Koh Rong up to 35, and then FvF 3 can see a handful of those older people from the post-HvV era before they get any older (Marty and Troyzan <3), while a majority of the new Favorites are from the post-Cambodia seasons perhaps...So maybe there's still a chance to fix these casting/returning mistakes yet, before it's too late. We can only hope...
