Survivor 20's Rumored Heroes Tribe

Survivor Heroes vs Villains has been confirmed and as of now that is all we know other then the location being in Samoa, yet again, and 20 players will be returning to the game. The cast has been speculated for several months now and it seems pretty concrete on the 10 heroes and the 10 villains that will be returning. Some are back for their third season, some are back for their second while some make no sense at all (less sense then Amber did during the first All Stars. Although this cast is pure speculation, but could be 100% true, I'm going to give my take on their return and how I believe they will do. Beware that spoilers may loom after the jump, you've been warned! This part reviews the rumored Heroes, check out the Villains article for my breakdown on the "evil" tribe.

-HEROES-

AMANDA
China & Micronesia

I don't like the fact that Amanda is back yet again. There are plenty of girls that could have taken her spot and she's already gotten tot he finals twice, give someone else a break. I think people will see through Amanda's game this time around, especially Cirie. They know that she's a good actress when it comes to talking, she's great at challenges and knows how to flirt with the best of them. Only one little problem, there really aren't any young guys on her tribe to flirt with this time around! I see, and hope, that Amanda goes early simple because the game has too many people that like her and will string her along: Parvati, Candace, Courtney and yet again James.

CANDICE
Cook Islands

Would Parvati only come back if that brought Candice with her? If you ask me Candice was a villain her season. She was nasty to the underdog foursome and mutinied on her tribe. How is that being a hero? I don't get it but whatever. I really hope that Candice goes early but I have a feeling that she will align with Amanda and James, giving us a dejavue moment from past seasons. We may see her flirt with JT, but with him being the only eligible guy on their tribe she may have to fight with Amanda over him. Candice is just there... that's about it. I really have no opinion on her since she kind of doesn't deserve to be there but I guess good luck?

CIRIE
Exile Island & Micronesia

Cirie is no stranger to Survivor. She's a super fan and has gotten in final four and final three. Cirie is someone who plays the game. She's a likeable character that always gets underestimated but always does well, simply because she speaks her mind and gets her way most of the time. She's been an outsider in both seasons that she was on, so I expect her to be once again. The thing she has going for her is that most people there probably know Cirie and most everyone probably loves her. I don't know how she and Amanda will be this time around though, since Amanda basically screwed her in the long run. Cirie will hopefully go far since she certainly is a favorite of mine.

COLBY
Australian Outback & All Stars

Colby was the original "nice guy" of Survivor and many feel that he should have been crowned the winner of the second season. Although Colby dominated in Australia, he kind of slid into the background of All Stars. He didn't really seem to want to be there and honestly, I don't remember him doing anything all that much exciting on All Stars. That being said, he fits into the theme nicely even if he won't be on that much. He could also be there for the redemption aspect, he and Jerri always have issues and I'm sure they'll play up on that yet again.

JAMES
China & Micronesia

James is another person I'd rather not see again. Sure he fits well into the heroes theme, but he's not that interesting. He says some funny things, does some stupid stuff but doesn't understand the game at all. He votes the way people tell him to vote and he's great at challenges, that's about it. I do believe that James should get a second shot because he was taken out due to injury last time, but where is Michael Skupin then or Bruce from Exile Island? I mean give those guys a chance, not someone who is there to make friends and smile. If he plays the game this time I'll be happy, but I really don't see that happening.

JT
Tocantins

JT had Stephen the entire game of Tocantins, without him I doubt either would have gotten to the final two. This time around he has nobody, well as far as we know. He does however have Tyson and Coach on the other side and as we all know those three were aligned, until JT got them voted out, in their previous season. I do believe that JT will go far as long as people stick with his nice guy image. He came off somewhat cocky during his time on the show before but I don't believe people really saw that out there. For some reason I see JT becoming a villain this season. He could be someone that has gotten evil with time and wants to shed his "Mr. Nice Guy" image.

RUPERT
Pearl Islands & All Stars

Could you seriously NOT have a Heroes tribe without Rupert? He's the most loved Survivor, even after 19 seasons and definitely deserves a spot on this tribe. Rupert's big name may come back to haunt him though. He played hard in All Stars and got close to the end and we all know that if Rupert gets to the finals he will most likely win in any season. He's played with a few of the people on his tribe, and in the game, in multiple seasons and he's at most of the Survivor events so everyone knows him. He could potentially take the Shambo role for Russell, but I really hope that doesn't happen. For some reason I feel Rupert will go out pre-merge simply because people know him too well. It's a sad thing but I'm kind of over the Rupert hype.

STEPHANIE
Palau & Guatemala

Steph is one of my all time favorite players simply because she speaks her mind and knows what she's doing. She played two great games and lost simply because it was her second time in the game compared to the others. Steph has some friends, or possible enemies, on her tribe when it comes to Tom. I don't know the relationship the two have but we'll see. Steph was also seen as being VERY tan in several Facebook pictures so that could lead to her being in the game long, and I really hope she is. If Steph can get past merge she'll go far. She may play too strong at the start though, which she's done before but I think she'll be fine.

SUGAR
Gabon

Sugar is probably someone I really want to see again, simply because I loved her in Gabon! It was amazing to watch her grow as a person and player throughout but that will most likely not happen again. People greatly underestimated Sugar in Gabon, that won't happen again. I see Sugar, sadly, going out early simply due to her being seen as a weak and possibly people using her past season against her. Sugar will still be loved by all though. She's someone that the cast hated but America loved and because of that I wonder if she's on the right tribe.

TOM
Palau

Tom is coming into the game as the only one of two winners on the Heroes side. I believe that won't hurt him though since he's a strong competitor and overall very well liked. Tom played almost a Russell like game his season, controlling how the game progressed but in a very different way. He wasn't mean spirited but was somewhat aggressive at times. Tom being a fireman also doesn't hurt his placement on the heroes tribe since essential he's a "real life" heroes. I'm hoping for a Tom/Cirie alliance since I think they'd both go far but I see him at least making merge but battling with Rob once that occurs.

So there you have it, the rumored heroes tribe of Survivor 20 Heroes vs Villains. What do you think of them? Glad to see some back or confused as why some are there? Leave us a comment and let us know!
