CBS ANNOUNCES THE 18 CASTAWAYS COMPETING ON “SURVIVOR”



“Blood vs. Water” Returns With A Special 90-Minute Premiere, Wednesday, Sept. 24


CBS announced today the 18 castaways who will compete against each other on SURVIVOR, when the Emmy Award-winning series returns for its 29th season with a special 90-minute premiere, Wednesday, Sept. 24 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst is host.
 
This fall on SURVIVOR, the “Blood vs. Water” theme returns as all-new castaways compete with – and ultimately against – their loved ones who share the same goal: to outwit, outplay, outlast and ultimately be crowned Sole Survivor and winner of the $1 million dollar prize. Alliances and relationships will be tested and bonds will be broken when mothers, daughters, brothers, spouses and partners vie against each other in the ultimate competition, raising the question of which is thicker: Blood or Water? 

This season marks the return of Exile Island, where each week two loved ones square off against one another in a battle that will send the loser to isolation on Exile Island, while the winner receives reward for his/her Tribe. However, the winner will also have to choose a tribemate to accompany their loved one to Exile Island.

ugh

Why are all of the pairings just siblings, parent/child, or dating couples? It's not like any of the pairs will well and truly betray their loved ones (Laura M. was leaving anyways), which will lead to a season even more boring than BvW. Not to mention that the entire cast looks so generic. Half of the women are the typical young blonde who gets little screen time, and almost everyone is pasty white.

Unless there's a miracle, this season will become boring with a bad boot order just like the first edition of this twist, which IS NOT HELPED by re-using twists instead of coming up with an original twist for a change. I'll still watch, but my hopes are not high.

Yeah, I'm not happy with half the cast, too..... :/ Survivor was kind of on a roll last season, pretty much everyone loved Cagayan. But they cast so many people that seem bland (reminds me of the fans in Caramoan) and the only thing I can see saving this season is a good boot order :(

I feel like most people are very bland, and the producers are relying on the Twinnies to bring drama and fabulousness.

I'm sure that most of them are nice people, but they seem bland.

Yeah I will kinda just second what bookworm said..
They ARE likeable, but they seem so vanilla and I doubt there will be a lot of big players and people actually making moves :/

I guess my cast ranking would look like this:

1. Val
2. Nadiya
3. Natalie
4. Missy
5. Jeremy
6. Jaclyn
7. Julie
-----------------
8. Keith
9. Baylor
10. Kelley
11. Jon
12. Dale
-----------------
13. Reed
14. Josh
15. Alec
16. Wes
17. Drew
18. John

1-7 are the ones I like, 8-12 are the boring ones, and 13-18 are the ones I hate.

PAIR RANKING:

1. Val/Jeremy
2. Natalie/Nadiya
3. Missy/Baylor
4. Jon/Jaclyn
-----------------------
5. Kelley/Dale
6. John/Julie
-----------------------
7. Josh/Reed
-----------------------
8. Alec/Drew
9. Wes/Keith

As a pair, I could see Wes and Keith easily ruining the season (same with Alec/Drew).
