Do you think it's unfair that these two were included? I for one thought it was brilliant. These two were so likeable and were truely excellent survivors. I think they will be voted out early, but I loved seeing them again. I was so happy for Stephanie to get a win on a challenge for once.

Sure they're likeable, but I don't see anything particularly special about the two of them that sets them apart from other previous survivors. They lost. They were voted out. I honestly could care less if Stephanie ever won a challenge. I'm sure she's not the only one who hadn't before. I don't like what a big deal it is that she got to be on a team that won something. Is she special? Really, I couldn't even remember who she was at first. I remembered Bobby Jon- he didn't do much for me the first time either. I don't care for the idea of them being there, but I don't really care that they're there either. I don't want the show to be made (edited) to be all about them. I'd rather have a bunch of new people and the bunch they have seems like they could handle things just fine without them. Especially Bobby John's team- he hasn't been much of an asset as far as I've seen.

I thought bringing back Stephanie was a great Idea although I think she comes equiped with a giant target on her back. Bobby Jon surprises me because they advertised the two most popular past survivor contestants. Was I the only one who thought Rupert had to be one of them

Yeah, Bobby John was far from the most popular. I remmeber him being a quiet worker who had a southern drawl and that's it. Steph was the one who hung out the longest of the one tribe last season right?

I don't like Stephanie...and I dislike them bringing people back. Why should some people rate two chances and some not?

Hey Rup! I thought the idea was great but they have to bring back someone like Cody or Rupert or Johnny Fairplay. Bring back the most evil or MOST liked or don't do it. I think they might have made the decision in private to put these two in BECAUSE they were so middle-of-the-road. Gives them a better chance, one would guess. Evil people woul dbe known as evil by the contestants and thus sent home immediately.

I liked Bobby Jon and Stephanie so I don't mind seeing them again. If they had to bring two people back I am glad it wasn't some of the bigger egos from past seasons like Jerri or Rich Hatch. I also like this twist better than dropping them off with nothing but business suits and dresses. I got tired of watching them compete in raggy underwear. You know that they only way BJ and S can survive is to make the merge and keep winning immunity. The producers know this so I wonder if there is going to be some surprise twist to the merge so that they are not able to predict when it will happen?

Actually, they were chosen because they were most liked and because they (the producers and other staff) thought they most deserved to come back. I like seeing them, and I think Jeff has a good point... the dynamic should be interesting as the rest of the tribes try to figure out: 1. Do we keep 'em and use 'em to help up get farther? 2. Do we kick 'em out pretty quickly since they already had a shot at the sole Survivor prize? Personally, I'd use 'em till they had no more purpose and then kick 'em off. Stephanie is a strong player, so I'd try to get rid of her before they go to individual immunities. Bobby Jon is a good worker, when he's not ill, and I'd keep him around just for his strong back.

I hated that in All Star when they right away wanted to knock off the previous winners cause "they already won a million" um, that isn't really the point, in my opinion. I like that they bring some of the better ones back. I felt terrible when Steph got booted just cause she was the last member of her tribe and had to merge. But my all time favorite is Rupert.

I liked Stephanie last time and Bobby John.. well, he was just OK as far as I was concerned. I know people were disappointed that Stephanie worked so hard and didn't make it, but I'm with everyone else who isn't that fond of them bringing someone back. Now if they were just their "guides" and not a full-fledged part of the tribe going to the final prize, I might not mind that. I feel they had their chances already.

Hey, Veander! Yeah, these two got a second kick at the can because their team was so bad they were always at Tribal Council. I know we're only two episodes in but I am enjoying Survivor so much. It's like a breath of fresh air after the miasma we endured all summer. Trip~I'm with you...Rupert is the symbol of Survivor know I believe, the grandaddy of contestants and was hugely popular.

Anyone who says they don't remember these two must not have watched last season's edition of Survivor. Stephenie was the most visible woman Survivor has produced since Jerri in S2...although people liked Steph and didn't like Jerri. Bobby Jon was just a hard worker who kept losing challenges to Tom, the eventual winner. I like 'em both, although I like Steph's tribe better so far.

I beg to differ Lycan. I watched all of last season and thought it was boring even though I loved Tom. And I remember Steph in a vague kinda way and Bobby Jon eh.

I'm not so crazy about Bobby Jon, but I thought Steph was great! A good player, with a GREAT heart! And watching her on "Survivor" helps to get the bad taste of 'BB6' out of my mouth! I have no problem with her being on the show- and of course, it will remain to be seen if she can really help her team, avoid elimination, and make it even further or even to the end!! It's all in good spirit to me - great fun!

Well, Mocha, we'll just have to disagree on that, then. I'm just glad the producers agree with me so I can get another does of Steph.

IMO if anybody deserved a second chance like this it was Jonathan and Wanda from last season. The way the show set two contestants up to be eliminated like that was the show's lowest point to date, again IMO. But as with Big Brother, decisions like this are based on popularity, not merit.

I'm quite interested to see Stephanie back, she was a good, hard-working, and determined player, just her hard luck that she was on the losing side for most of the game last year. Bobby Jon however, although he also worked hard, was a bit of a wild-man, and I still recall the time they spent alone together before the merge, he was a tad scary then. They were both unlucky, and I don't begrudge them the chance for a second go, especially as we know they'll be easy targets anyway. Maybe because it's supposed to be the hardest season ever, the producers had the added incentive that an experienced player on each team might save some difficulties for the novices. If so, they were all wrong about Bobby Jon!

amac, jonathan maybe, but wanda was crazy as a loon. not sure i could have taken her making a song out of each and every challenge, spider, bird, termite or trip to the bathroom. jonathan should have had a chance. that was the dumbest survivor start ever and to have it come down to the equivalent of choosing basketball teams in junior high was really unfair. they should have had some type of competition, not a popularity contest. i know what it's like to be chosen last and i know what it's like to do the choosing, and i don't like being on either end of it! wanda probably would have gone early just because of her behavior, but i would liked to have gotten to know john a little better. i don't really care for the bringing people back thing, either, but if they had to do it, steph would be my first choice. steph and jonathan, i think.

loved stephanie last year .... not too sure this year though....she is giving me the impression that she feels kind of "entittled" because of her popularity (really hope i'm wrong here...perhaps its too early in the game for me to jump to conclusions).

It really doesn't matter...Neither one of them will make the merge...IMHO. If Bobby Jon doesn't up and die, he'll be voted out and with Steph, as much as I like to see her back in the game, her team knows to keep her around long enough. The only thing that will save Steph is to make Merger and then win every IC.

LOL -- "If Bobby Jon doesn't up and die" -- That is not a sentence that should make me laugh, but I've got tears rolling down my cheeks and can't stop laughing! DS wants to know what's going on I've been laughing so long. (Sorry -- he looks really pathetic this season, doesn't he?)

lee, i think steph is already 'entittled', so perhaps you meant 'entitled"? i was thinking the same thing about bobby jon. my heck, but he looks like something the cat dragged in. that may, along with 'frappincrap', have to be the start of some of my sentences from here on out: "if bobby jon doesn't up and die we might be able to go out for pizza tonight." "if bobby jon doesn't up and die, i just might get my son's room painted." or, maybe i'll save it for under-my-breath moments...like when a waiter asks how the meal is, my mouth is full, the food is mediocre, the bill too high...or my 49er's come close to a win with only seconds left: "if bobby jon doesn't up and die"....
