hey im bored so imma give some awards to players by season.
Every season, I will assign the following awards:
Strategy Award (for who I feel overall is the best player, which also factors in any other appearances the player has made)
Character Award (for the big, memorable, one in a million casting choice with a truly unique personality. Can not be the same person as the previous award)
Why Haven't You Returned? (as the name would suggest, a player who has NOT returned that would make for a good returnee)
....Them? (assigned to either the least likable or least memorable player)
Future Host (most likely to replace Jeff Probst)
so yeah there's the shit and here's the stuff (seasons tagged with a * are ones that are fuzzy in my memory so like dont attack me if you think my picks suck)

This is an error. He was irrelevant even on his boot episode. I think you meant to say 1/2 of the Jamie Dugan/Erik Huffman couple or Sherea or Todd himself if he ever gets 100% sober.
Jamie literally ran pre-jury and was such a queen! Once Jamie left, Erik went into beast mode with competitions and relations, trying to work with Courtney and Amanda in rewards to save him. Sherea was robbed. Sherea is to Monet like Courtney is to Britney. Todd is one of the best strategical players ever.
nicolef Todd would undoubtedly be the answer, but the sad truth is it's more than likely just never going to happen (but I guess Lill's too old and wouldn't happen either so I guess i'm kinda breaking my own rules here)
Sherea did nothing and was not fun. She just sat in the shelter. She wasn't sassy, she wasnt colorful, she was just there.
Jaime I could switch with Frosti I guess, but i'd personally rather see Frosti. Eric's a super nice guy but no way is he returnee material (i dont really think Frosti is either, but I think we've gotten all the returnees we need from China)
