Casting
Akshay was invited, but declined. Mariah was invited, but declined because she didn't have time to play. Eliott was invited, but declined. Nick was invited, but declined. Gregory was considered during Canada's filming, but cut at the finale because winners wouldn't return for this season. The same thing happened to Ben in Machu Picchu. rawr121 was originally cut to avoid a dominant season-one alliance, but was invited after a streak of declines from Canada contestants, however he was not casted in the end and replaced with Connor L. CutieAmy was originally cut for Xander, but replaced Xander again when he was banned. Mantyke was invited, but did not want to play again. Clair accepted to play, but went inactive, and was cut. mastropola was invited to be on the favorites tribe and did not want to play. Disneygeek was going to be on the cast, but since there were so many people from season 2, he was cut in favor of ejuzkiw, who had been inactive during casting phase 2 but restored his activity. Andrew (sosyomomma) was considered, but cut at the last minute. Mel (me2013) dropped out day 1, which was early enough to replace her with Ray who wasn't originally invited.

Season 1: Matt, Madison, Adam

Season 2: Ben, Janice, Robby

Season 3: Zarak, Ty

Season 4: Matt, Lucky, Lukas, Brittany
