Brad Culpepper (Monica's husband, Attorney and retired NFL player)
Ciera Eastin (Laura Morett's daughter)

Hayden Moss (Kat's boyfriend, won U.S. Big Brother 12)

This Season

- Season 27 is being filmed in the Philippines again but this time at Palaui Island, Cagayan.

- The game will be 39 and a half days long. Players will be dropped off at sunset in their 10 pairs to spend the night alone, this will be known as "Day Zero". The pairs will then meet up the next day and the game will begin. Probst said this was to "get them thinking they were playing as a pair".

- The players will then be split up into returning players vs loved ones. "Your partner becomes your adversary, your competition" says Probst.

- Redemption Island is back after being absent for three seasons.

- A person can replace their partner at Redemption Island if they are voted out. For instance if Tina is voted out then Katie can take her place on Redemption Island while Tina will join the tribe that Katie came from.

- Each duel on Redemption Island will be a three person duel with last place eliminated. Partners can switch with each other before each duel. Say if there is a strength challenge and Laura Boneham is on Redemption Island, Rupert could switch places with his wife if he thinks he could do a better job. They can then switch back at a future duel if they so wish.

- Each duel winner will get an opportunity to give a hidden immunity idol clue to any person from either tribe.


This series premieres on September 18 in the US. There are persistent rumours floating around that Channel 9 has released the rights to season 27 of Survivor and that it might be picked up by another free to air station (Channel 7 or 10) or it may end up airing on Pay TV. Channel 9/GO have remained fairly quiet on this front so far and haven't said much with regards to the new season which has lead to a lot of gossip and rumour on the matter.

There is also word of a new version of Australian Survivor being produced should the rights to the US Version switch to another network. This is beginning to gain momentum with series such as The Mole and Big Brother coming back after having breaks from Australian TV. It might also mean Survivor: Marquesas (season 4) is finally aired.

Sounds so so so so so bad. I'd rather they bring back the medallion of power, or the have v have nots from Fiji, or Redem... shit.



Although, Tyson and Aras might hopefully save it from RI/Fiji badness.

Damn, Laura's daughter is smoking hot. Don't know why they got an invite to the season, but I'll allow it.

So many questions, this season is going to be exciting and polarising no matter what. A few not so obvious thoughts/questions:

- how will they deal with previous winners (targets?)
- will Gervase be able to adapt to the new way of playing Survivor?
- will partners/friends be more willing to go against their loved one, or will it be family doing the back stabbing?
- Colton first voted out?
- Rupert saying Gervase and Tyson's loved ones already struggling

Aras and Vytas are my favourites.

Couldn't agree more. I've never missed an episode of Survivor but by the sounds of it it's going to be a real struggle to get through this season. Can only hope season 28 has all new castaways, a new location and no Redemption Island.
 
I'm so over seeing returning castaways.


Used to feel this way.

It's just too boring without them. Takes time to get to know people and it's very interesting to compare how they play the game when given another crack.

Best returning castaway ever.

Weird that despite how much he talks about how he hates One World, Probst has brought back 3 from that season.

Although I guess you could make the argument that they aren't bringing back Kat and Monica, but bringing an NFL player and a US Big Brother winner.
 
I have no idea who might win. Doesn't look to be be many physical threats. Hayden and John maybe?

I hope Colton is entertaining. We all know he's not there to be liked. He's there so he can get his flame snuffed because Jeff didn't get the pleasure last time.

It's good to see Kat again.

Here's the One World thread. I always rated Kat highly even if she is a bit crazy.

Many of these castaways I've never seen before. I've only been watching for the last 5-8 seasons.

I agree, although I think with a bunch of completely new players they'd drop ratings as the returning players help strategically advance the game quicker in the early stages. It's probably one of the main reason why they have having returning players.

Everyone else is a bit early to comment on although I do hate Redemption Island.
 
Thought HvV would have been the last of Rupert. He's burnt out.

Gervase and Aras (and Colton, I suppose) are the only interesting returning players for me. I'll give everyone else another chance. Not sure how Candice ever got on HvV (especially on the Heroes tribe, wtf?) and I'm dumbfounded that she's back again. Her boyfriend must be a character.

A season can be great or bad regardless of whatever gimmicks they come up with, but this one seems up against it with the redemption island stuff.
