Season 25: Philippines
"Survivor: Philippines" (CBS) is back for Season 25. The Emmy Award-winning reality competition series will feature three former players who were medically evacuated from the game and are returning to finish what they started. The 15 new castaways vying to outwit, outplay and outlast one another include former National League MVP Jeff Kent (San Francisco Giants), and 1980s television star Lisa Whelchel ("The Facts of Life").
For the first time in eight years, "Survivor: Philippines" will be comprised of three tribes named after animals in the region: Kalabaw ("Water Buffalo"), Tandang ("Rooster") and Matsing ("Monkey"). The tribes feature individuals from different backgrounds competing for the same ultimate goal: to be Sole Survivor.
Surrounded by water, "Survivor: Philippines" will prominently feature marine-based challenges where the three tribes will battle for first and second place in order to be granted immunity, while the third-place tribe will head to Tribal Council and face elimination.
The "Survivor: Philippines" contestants include Abi-Maria Gomes, Angie Layton, Artis Silvester, Carter Williams, Dana Lambert, Denise Stapley, Jeff Kent, Katie Hanson, Lisa Whelchel, Malcolm Freberg, Pete Yurkowski, Roberta "RC" Saint-Amour, Roxy Morris, Sarah Dawson and Zane Knight.
Season 24: One World
"Survivor: One World" is back for Season 24, which pushes the game to its limits, forcing the two competing tribes to share one beach. The castaways must fight the elements, adapt to their new surroundings and vie against each other to stay in the game or be voted out by their peers, all while living together on the same beach. Tribes, separated by men versus women, will have to decide whether to share their resources with each other or leave the opposing tribe to fend for themselves. This ultimate social game becomes even more difficult to navigate because alliances could be formed between members of different tribes much earlier, adding yet another layer of intrigue to this competitive game.
The 18 castaways on "Survivor 2012" will be divided into two Tribes of nine: the Salani Tribe and the Manono Tribe, named after islands in Samoa. Divided by men versus women, the tribes are comprised of individuals from all different backgrounds with the same ultimate goal: to outwit, outplay and outlast and ultimately be crowned Sole Survivor.
The "Survivor: One World" contestants include Alicia Rosa, Bill Posley, Chelsea Meissner, Christina Cha, Colton Cumbie, Greg Smith, Jay Byars, Jonas Otsuji, Kat Edorsson, Kim Spradlin, Kourtney Moon, Leif Manson, Matt Quinlan, Michael Jefferson, Monica Culpepper, Nina Acosta, Sabrina Thompson and Troy Robertson.
Season 23: South Pacific
On "Survivor: South Pacific," the 18 castaways will be divided into two Tribes of nine: the Savaii Tribe and the Upolu Tribe, named after the two islands of Samoa. The tribes are comprised of individuals from all different backgrounds with the same ultimate goal: to be the Sole Survivor. While 16 of the contestants are new to the competition, two are former castaways who will be given another chance to compete for the million dollar prize.
The "Survivor: Redemption Island" twist returns in "Survivor: South Pacific" in which castaways who have been eliminated from the game will have an opportunity to return for a chance to win the million dollar prize. Each week at Tribal Council, when a castaway is voted off, they will be sent to live alone on Redemption Island and, in order to stay in the game, will need to compete in a duel against the next person eliminated at Tribal Council. The winner of each duel earns the right to continue fighting for an opportunity to return to the game and the chance to compete for the title of Sole Survivor; and the loser is sent home.
Season 22: Redemption Island
"Survivor: Redemption Island" will feature a new twist when, for the first time, castaways who have been eliminated from the game will have an opportunity to seek redemption and return for a chance to win the million dollar prize. Each week at Tribal Council when a castaway is voted off, they will be sent to an isolated island called "Redemption Island," where they will live alone in exile. To stay on Redemption Island, they will need to compete in a duel against the next person eliminated (and then against each subsequent person voted off), with the loser being sent home. The winner of each duel earns the right to continue fighting for an opportunity to return to the game and the chance to compete for the title of Sole Survivor.
Season 21: Nicaragua
"Survivor: Nicaragua" features twenty castaways competing in a tribal battle of the ages. For the last ten years, "Survivor" has traveled to the farthest corners of the planet and subjected over 300 contestants to the harshest environments. As the next decade of "Survivor" begins, this new group of strangers will compete on "Survivor: Nicaragua." The castaways will be marooned in a land of smoldering volcanoes, wildlife and impenetrable terrain. They will be forced to work together to adapt to their new surroundings, yet compete against each other to the stay in the game or be voted out by their peers. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor.
These 20 castaways will be divided into two Tribes of 10 comprised of older competitors and younger competitors. The Espada Tribe, made up of individuals over the age of 40, must prove they have the life experience and knowledge that will ultimately help them Outwit and Outlast their younger competitors. The La Flor Tribe, consisting of individuals ages 30 and younger, will have to use their youth and vitality to Outplay and ultimately Outlast their elders.
Season 20: Heroes vs. Villains
On "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," twenty former castaways will return to compete on Season 20 of the Emmy Award-winning series.
"Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" will reunite some of the most memorable, heroic and controversial castaways from previous "Survivor" seasons. The series' best strategists will face off in their attempt to overcome — or embrace — the label placed upon them when they return to seek revenge or redemption, all in an effort to win the title of Sole Survivor.
These unforgettable castaways will compete deep in the South Pacific on the breathtaking island of Samoa and will be divided into two tribes of 10 comprised of the best heroes and biggest villains ever to play the game. The heroes have been defined by their decisions of integrity, courage and honor, while the villains have mastered their skills of deception, manipulation and duplicity.
The series will follow the relationships and conflicts that develop among the two divergent groups. Ultimately some castaways will be forced to choose between pre-existing relationships or tribe loyalty in the spirit of competition. What happens on a tribe full of heroes? Will the villains self-destruct or will they be able to co-exist?
Season 19: Samoa
On "Survivor: Samoa," Season 19 of the reality competition TV series, 20 American strangers will compete on Samoa's rugged islands. In one of the most beautiful "Survivor" locations yet, the castaways will be left to fend for themselves among Samoa's white sand beaches, lush green valleys and towering waterfalls. Despite the picturesque landscape, the castaways will face exposure to elements and wildlife living in the mysterious rainforests that cover rugged volcanic mountain peaks. They will be forced to work together to adapt to their new surroundings, yet compete against each other to the stay in the game or be voted out by their peers. For 39 days, they will endeavor to outwit, outplay and outlast one another in order to to claim the Million Dollar Prize and win the title of Sole Survivor.
Surrounded by coconut palms in a land steeped in tradition, the Samoans who inhabit this island have a proud history and strong sense of community that has enabled their own survival. From the start of the game, "Survivor" embraces this Samoan culture by incorporating an ancient tradition of electing an individual leader of the village. Without speaking, both tribes must immediately choose one member of their group to become their sole decision maker, their chief. How important will the role of tribal chief be in determining the fate of each tribe?
Season 18: Tocantins
"Survivor: Tocantins — The Brazilian Highlands" will prove to be one of the most rugged locations ever visited and the only relief from these harsh conditions will be a river oasis known as the Rio Novo. Left stranded in the majestic interior of Brazil for 39 days, the castaways will battle scorching temperatures, torrential downpours, and dangerous wildlife all in an effort to outwit, outplay, and outlast one another in order to win the title of Sole Survivor.
On season 18 of "Survivor," the castaways will be divided into two separate tribes from the very beginning and these diverse individuals must immediately begin their game based solely on their first impressions of each other. In advance of any formal introduction and before the castaways speak their first words to each other, one person from each tribe will be chosen to remain behind and will not continue with their group on the journey that lies ahead. Will this mean the end for these two individuals or will they get a second chance to make a first impression?
Season 17: Gabon
Marooned in the wilderness on "Survivor: Gabon - Earth's Last Eden," 18 individuals will embark on an amazing African adventure, battling extreme conditions and interacting with wildlife such as elephants and gorillas, while attempting to forge alliances with strangers from diverse backgrounds. "In a strange coincidence to Earth's Last Eden - good vs. evil emerges as a major theme this season. I think the audience will quickly identify with one group or the other," host Jeff Probst teases. Will the group of deceitful castaways outlast those individuals who play from their heart or will the forces of evil prevail on "Survivor 17: Gabon - Earth's Last Eden?" Will temptations interfere with logical decision-making? More importantly, which side will come out on top?
In a "Survivor" first, the magnificent landscape, natural elements, and fascinating wildlife featured on "Survivor 17: Gabon - Earth's Last Eden," will be enjoyed by viewers in high-definition, enhancing the overall experience of the show. Probst claims, "Shooting in HD is like adding another character to the show. The detail is so sharp you can't help but feel as though you are experiencing the adventure yourself."
Season 16: Micronesia
In a "Survivor" first, 10 ultra-fans of the series will take on 10 former castaways to compete on "Survivor 16: Micronesia: Fans vs. Favorites." The two tribes will be marooned amidst the Rock Islands of Palau, Micronesia. The skills of the former castaways will be put to the test on "Survivor 16: Micronesia: Fans vs. Favorites" while the tribe of first-time competitors will see if their enthusiasm and passion for the game is enough to distinguish them as worthy competitors. Who will prevail to become Sole Survivor on "Survivor 16: Micronesia: Fans vs. Favorites?"
