![]() I think we’ll see that play out this season. I think others can benefit from having played recently, though. She played the exact same game, and not knowing how badly she got decimated in final tribal on her first season before going out to play a second time led to her doing the exact same thing and making the same exact mistake the second time around. Amanda is the primary example that comes to mind. I think playing too recently can be a huge disadvantage for certain people. I think for some people going too long between seasons can be a disadvantage, but for me, I think it was an advantage. Was it an advantage having that rest period? Or did you feel those who played more recently had a bigger advantage? There were 6 seasons in between Vanuatu and Micronesia. I still had the excitement and nerves, but much less of the emotion than the first time. I felt a lot more prepared the second time. I really thought I could do better than my first season since I was older, more mature, and not a naïve 21-year-old anymore. I had a “do whatever it takes” mentality going into the season. The second time around I intended to be more cutthroat. What was your mentality going in the second time around, compared to the first time? If you know who you’re playing against, you do whatever it takes (sacrificing social plans and sleep included) to make sure you’ve watched everyone you’ll be competing against. Unlike everyone on Second Chance, I’ve seen every season of Survivor, so I knew no matter who I’d played against, I would’ve seen every episode of their season, but I know some people who went out without having seen all the past seasons. I think knowing who you’re going to be playing against is a HUGE advantage. So how big of an advantage is it for the Second Chance cast that they know the theme and who they are playing against beforehand? I knew they’d want us scoping each other out if it was all returners. We were kept at a separate Ponderosa pre-game from the fans, so some people speculated it was another tribe of returning contestants, but I knew that wasn’t the case. I think I knew it would be one tribe of returning contestants playing against one tribe of new contestants. I was constantly scouring Survivor Sucks for speculation or knowledge about a possible theme. What about the theme? Did you know it would be Fans vs. Then I saw a PA’s list (only with initials, but I knew full well who YMC and PS and JP were). I don’t think I fully knew who the cast was until we got to LA. It’s hard to remember right now, but I certainly knew who was being considered. ![]() How aware were you of the Micronesia cast before you flew out? Obviously with the voting twist for Second Chance it meant the entire cast knew about each other ahead of filming. ![]() It was one week into the semester and the deadline for withdrawing for the semester without a penalty was approaching, and I got the call and I dropped all my classes and withdrew from law school for the semester! So I am lucky that the producers really wanted me back for Fans vs Favorites because I was the first one who was chosen. However, I was a law student at the time and I told them that I would gladly take a semester off of law school to go back on the show, but not once the semester had started (I would’ve lost all my tuition, etc). There really wasn’t much of a process except for an updated psych evaluation. I knew immediately what it was and was SO excited. I got a call from my mom right before I was about to begin my third year of law school saying there was a message on her home phone from Ellen Davis. When did you originally find out you were going back on the show? And what was the casting process like for Survivor: Micronesia? Inside Survivor reached out to Eliza to discuss what it was like preparing for, and playing, a second time on Survivor. Unfortunately, Eliza wasn’t able to improve on her previous placing she finished in 10th place and became the first member of the jury. After suffering a cruel blindside at the hands of eventual winner Chris Daugherty, Eliza felt in need of redemption, and she was given that opportunity in 2008 when she was offered a chance to return on Survivor: Micronesia – Fans vs. But whether old or new, it goes without saying that each one of these players will be trying their hardest to improve on their previous finishing position.Įliza Orlins, who finished in fourth place on Survivor: Vanuatu back in 2004, knows all about what it’s like returning to Survivor for a second chance. Some of these people originally played the game 15 years ago, while some played as recently as last year. The season, which filmed on Koh Rong island in Cambodia, will see 20 former players return for a second chance at the $1 million prize. Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chance premieres in just over 6 weeks, and you can feel the anticipation building within the Survivor community.
