“Survivor: Redemption Island”: CBS announces (most of) the cast

CBS has announced 16 of 18 castaways who will compete against each other on “Survivor: Redemption Island” when the 22nd edition of the series debuts Feb. 16. Why only 16? Because two of the castaways will be former contestants to be revealed later this week. According to the CBS press release, they’ll be returning to “seek redemption.”

This season 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 $1 million 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 at Tribal Council and sent to the Island. 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; the loser is sent home.

The battle unfolds in Nicaragua where the 18 castaways will be divided into two Tribes of nine: the Ometepe Tribe and the Zapatera Tribe. The tribes are comprised of individuals from all different backgrounds with the same ultimate goal: to be the Sole Survivor.
