Legends Season.

Since Jeff said there's not enough compelling winners to come back I'd be willing to bet that in a legends season, production could put anyone on. For example , "Colleen Haskell, the first sweetheart, she's clearly a legend for being the first woman America fell in love with on the show __ years ago in the first season ever". or "Billy Garcia, the only guy who loved Candice Woodcock before John Cody did". They could seriously put just anybody on. "Kelley Wentworth, the first person to be the final jury member on a 10 person jury". So having said that, it leads me to believe why people such as Earl, Rich, Denise, and even Sonja could come back for all the firsts they did.
