Even though Mike was not only the oldest player on Season 42 (but would have been the oldest winner), he was able to truly bond with the millennials and Gen-Z players. This made him so lovable to watch at home; he's basically our friendly neighborhood fireman. Plus, his Puerto Rican background contributed to his ability to make history with an all-POC final three, which truly proves the power of Survivor's diversity initiative.

Many fans at home, while rooting for Maryanne, have said that they would also have been happy with a Mike Turner win. Will he ever return? We'd love to see him play again, and even if not, he will live forever in the Survivor Hall of Fame.
