CBS has announced the 18 castaways who will be “battling extreme conditions and interacting with wildlife such as elephants and gorillas” on Survivor: Gabon — Earth’s Last Eden, premiering Sept. 25. Host Jeff Probst says, “In a strange coincidence to ‘Earth’s Last Eden,’ good vs. evil emerges as a major theme this season.” Last season’s James and his “Don’t bite the apple” catchphrase would’ve fit in beautifully.
The castaways, in alphabetical order, are:
