New season starts this coming Wednesday with the premiere! 4 returning castaways and a new twist that will allow someone to get back into the game (rumored) if they can last long enough on Extinction Island.
Here's a summary of the twist:
Extinction Island will be a thing, however, and both refer to this season’s insane twist: Every player voted out of the game will have the option of going to Extinction Island, where they’ll wait for two chances to get back in the game, at the merge and at the end.
What will they do on Extinction Island? Sit around, and perhaps behave terribly to encourage others to quit.
Anyone can leave Extinction Island whenever they want, but they can also stay for the length of the entire game, doing nothing except waiting. They won’t compete in challenges, or go to Tribal Council—at least not at first.
Eventually, after the merge, all of the players on Extinction Island will form the jury, meaning theoretically, there could be a 15-member jury and a final three. (There are a few spoilers if you want to know what possibly happens, and those spoilers include names of people.)
I'm looking forward to see how Aubry and Jon do as both two time returnees since they were both strong players in their seasons.
Let's use this thread for discussion about the season and of course cue the typical first few posts about how much Survivor sucks even though it's been on TV for almost 20 years.
Victoria cracks me up. I think they put her on this season just in case she's an early boot so she can provide some entertainment on Extinction Island.
Wardog has a bunch of min cashes at the WSOP. I think he wants to be Tony and Dom but will end up being Joe Mena 2.0.
Reading through the bios it looks like everyone is a long time fan and wants to play survivor specifically not just random adventure or reality TV. So that's a good sign. Cast looks pretty good.
If you haven't seen this it's pretty cool. A look behind the scenes of Survivor, Day 1 (No spoilers at all unless you don't know anything about the cast):

I really like this about Survivor, seems like they’ve been going in that direction lately. Wish Big Brother would cast like that
