Season 31 premieres on CBS this coming Wednesday, September 23. A new "Survivor" cast of 20 returning players prepares to hit the beach and compete for one million dollars all over again.
We’ll see the new season of Survivor debut ahead of the eagerly-anticipated "Big Brother" finale, after a few recent seasons mixing old and new. All of these castaways are looking for that “Second Chance” to make it big and take home the million dollar prize.
Lots of recent players like Joe Anglim and Kass McQuillen join more legacy castaways like Kelly Wiglesworth, lo of the original Survivor season (!) and Jeff Varner from "Survivor Australian Outback." A mix of cast that is sure to thrill diehard "Survivor" fans.
The season has actually already been filmed and wrapped with all the castaways returning home so a few folks out there know how it turned out and we’ll keep an eye out for spoilers showing up along the way.
Allowing fans to vote for the cast for Survivor: Cambodia—Second Chance is not the only big twist for this season, but there is also a twist involving the use of hidden immunity idols.
Beyond that, every idol will look different. This could lead to more confusion among the contestants as to which idols are real and which are fake. Host Jeff Probst explained the idea behind it on location for filming in May. “The first thing we’re doing with the idols is we’re making idols look different, so every idol will be unique,” said Probst. “One idol will look really fancy and the next idol will look like a 5-year-old made it. So when you get an idol, you’re going to have to convince somebody it’s real because they’re going to think it isn’t. But that also opens a door to make a fake idol … and they won’t know which is up and which is down. You can play all angles on this.”
But that is just the first wrinkle to the immunity idols; while the look of the idols will be different, so will the location of where you can find them. For the first time ever, idols will hidden in the middle of challenges. Probst explained: “So here’s how it will work: Day 1, they start building their shelter, you know people are going to start looking for an idol. They’re going to find it in a tree or under a trunk — whatever. But it will be a clue and the clue will say, ‘Good news, the idol is within reach. You just have to be daring enough to grab it.’ And we’re going to have a drawing [of the challenge]. You will know exactly where it is. There is no search. The only question is, can you do it in front of your tribe in the middle of a challenge and get away with it? I love that.”
