The cast and details for 'Survivor Philippines' have been revealed. The cast includes Lisa Whelchel, best known as Blair Warner from 'The Facts of Life', former baseball National League Most Valuable Player Jeff Kent, two beauty queens, a sex therapist, and a seminary student. Three former players, who were medically evacuated from the game, will also return and they will be revealed later this week. Rumor has it that they are Mike Skupin ('Australian Outback'), Jonathon Penner ('Cook Islands', 'Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites'), and Russell Swan ('Samoa').
"When it comes to other twists, the Do It Yourself challenges from last season will not be making a repeat appearance, and there will be a new wrinkle to the first hidden immunity idols. “They are hidden in plain sight,” says host Jeff Probst. “There’s actually a clue at the bottom of a rice jar that says, ‘The idol is hidden in plain sight. In fact, it’s right under your nose.’ And if they take the top of the rice tin off, they would find that is the idol. The top of the rice tin is the idol.” Sneaky!
As for the location in the Philippines, it was an edict from executive producer Mark Burnett that led to the show going to the Caramoan Islands for it’s 25th (and 26th) season. “It actually came as a slam-down from Burnett,” says Probst, “who said, ‘Get us back in the water.’ So we’re here in the Philippines, which is vintage Survivor, and I love it.” The location means an opportunity for challenges that can take place out in deep water — something the show has lacked since back in season 16 (Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites)."
I hope this season will be an improvement over 'One World'. That was a huge disappointment.
