"Survivor" will be back on CBS for its 31st season. The location, which is in Cambodia, the concept of it being the "Second Chance" for the previous players and even the cast was no secret.
If there are two things the "Survivor" series is known for, that would be first, are the challenging game twists. Second, its veteran host Jeff Probst, who shared what he thinks about "Survivor: Cambodia" and gave fans a glimpse of what to expect this coming season.
Probst revealed that they took the survivor cast on a little tour in Cambodia, Entertainment Weekly learned. It was to draw the idea of parallelism between the history of the place where they will be playing to the history each of them will be making — the idea of second chance and seizing the moment.
Scenes for the upcoming "Survivor" will be more chaotic. Probst even teased that there was a challenge the show did 15 years ago that was revived in the current season, only with an added exciting, crazy twist.
The entertainment site has already revealed the twist on the immunity idols — the inconsistencies with their physical appearance and when will they be hidden.
In addition to the reported ferocious challenges the show has prepared for the contestants, the place itself will provide a rigid environment for the game.
It was also reported that there will be a battle for dominion between the castaways from the older and newer seasons. According to the observation of International Business Times, talking about the "Survivor" age, Bayon Tribe has more recent experience having reported mean of 21.7 compared to Takeo's 19.7.
While Takeo Tribe reportedly has a slight advantage, with its castaways' challenge wins averaging to 8.2 compared to Bayon's 7.1.
Men and women were equally distributed among the Bayon and Takeo Tribes. The contestants were cloistered in Los Angeles before this season started, and some of them already have plotted game plans.
Jeff Varner of Takeo Tribe revealed to People that there were other two contestants, names of whom were not disclosed, who are already having a "conversation" before the game begins.
Bayon's Andrew Savage, who's a social friend of the host, gave an assuring statement that there won't be any favoritisms in "Survivor: Cambodia."
"If anything, he's going to be stricter on me than on others, just so it doesn't come across that he's favoring me," he said. "Jeff loves 'Survivor' a lot more than he loves me!"
Some contestants were nervous, many are thrilled and others already have their game faces on. Who will be the next survivor?
We will find out soon. "Survivor: Cambodia — Second Chance" will premiere on Sept. 23.
