‘Survivor’ Season 41 contestants: Meet the 18 castaways

The 18 new castaways competing for $1 million on Season 41 of Survivor have been revealed.

The long-running show “begins a bold new era this fall with the introduction of exciting fresh elements to the competition that promise to intensify the battle for $1 million and the title of Sole Survivor,” reads a press release.

“As the thrilling competition begins on the beautiful islands of Fiji, 18 determined castaways will be divided into three tribes of six to face a faster, more intense, and more dangerous season than ever before.

“The unpredictable, accelerated pace will test even the strongest superfan, as supplies are minimal, reward challenges are scarce, and players find themselves faced with advantages that could significantly help their game or, just as easily, extinguish their torch.”

“‘Survivor 41’ features a really likable group of savvy ‘Survivor’ players and they are in for the most intense, most difficult, and most dangerous season we’ve ever done. We know we have the most loyal fans of any show on television, and we are pumped to bring them a new, exciting season of ‘Survivor’!”

For the first time, Probst will also take viewers inside the action, addressing the audience directly throughout the season and even letting fans in on some twists before the players themselves.

Junior fans can test their own Survivor skills as well by playing the new “game within the game”: each week, they’ll have to spot a hidden rebus puzzle within the episode and then solve it.

Here are the 18 castaways competing this fall:
