Seeing as how only two of the past eight seasons of Survivor have featured all new players, and the two that did (Nicaragua and One World) are generally considered to be among of the show’s weakest outings

Most of all, the players need to be likeable and have some character for the viewers. I'm all for a newbies season.

I've already marked the "Beauty" team off my list. The "Brains" might be good to watch unless their IQs dominate their common sense and social adaptabilities. Before the merge, the "Brawn" might be the team to root for unless they flex and high-five 24/7. After the merge, it's anyone's guess this early out.
