Survivor Season 36 Cast Photos: Find Out Who's Heading To Ghost Island
CBS on Wednesday revealed the 20 castaways competing in Survivor's upcoming 36th season — as well as the big, spooky twist that awaits them.
Split into two groups of 10, the contestants face the possibility of being sent to Ghost Island, a separate location haunted by "Survivor relics from the previous 35 seasons of the show." It will be up to these 20 new contestants to "learn from the past mistakes of others and reverse the curse." According to CBS, the island is "filled with real idols and advantages from previous seasons."
