The 35th season of Survivor is starting next month, and it’s time to get excited with the announcement of the 18 lucky castaways who will be competing for that $1 million prize.
The reality series, which comes back Sep. 27, takes place on the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, with a theme of “Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers,” which will split the castaways into three tribes based on how they perceive each other.
Heroes are used to being celebrated for their achievements, healers get thanks for their work, while hustlers have to work hard to earn everyone’s respect.
