Going into the finale episode, I actually thought he was going to win over Nick. He was a scrappy, easy-to-root-for underdog. I loved watching Davie play in Season 37. Like Christian, he's going from the Davids to the Heroes, a fitting transition. He will definitely be back, and he's a clear choice for the Heroes. His immunity challenge showdown against Alec is one of the most memorable moments we've had recently. He's one of the most popular players in recent memory. Nobody better embodied the "David" mentality than Christian did in Season 37 David vs. Speaking of mortal locks to return, Christian will certainly be back some day. He may have rubbed some people the wrong way and got a little cocky, but I still think he's definitely a fit for the Heroes tribe. He returned from the Edge, found advantages, came up with clever innovations, and just gave 110% for the entire game.
Devens was a favorite of both Jeff and fans everywhere in Season 38. You need some people that will draw an audience, and Malcolm will surely do that.Īn absolute lock to return. Likable and easy to root for, he's an obvious choice for the Heroes. He's entertaining to watch and a really solid, well-rounded player.

I think he's a lock to return in some future season, so why not Heroes vs. He's going to go against everything I'm about to write in this blog about wanting to give newer players a shot, but he's just too good to pass up.

Like I said, there are some players who have played multiple times that are just too good to pass up. With a few exceptions, I tried to only pick players we've seen play once. I tried to mostly pick players who we haven't seen again and again. I could have cast a winner who wasn't on Season 40, but decided to just make this season a Second (or third or fourth) Chance type season and have no winners. I don't really buy that, but I still think it'd be unlikely for someone to come back after just playing in such an intense season. We just saw Winners At War, and there are rumors that almost all of them don't want to play again. For casting, I decided to strictly cast players that first appeared after the first Heroes vs.
