Survivor has 18 new castaways. On Monday, CBS unveiled the people who will compete for the $1 million prize when season 46 premieres on Feb. 28.
Hosted by Jeff Probst, season 46 of Survivor will build upon the show's legacy, as it puts its players through the ultimate physical and mental test in Fiji.
The contestants, who will be divided into three tribes of six, must form a new society and adapt to their physical and social surroundings while facing difficult obstacles and navigating a complex social game.
The players, all of whom are from diverse backgrounds and bring a fresh perspective, will endure a faster, more intense season from the moment they step foot on the beach, from moral dilemmas to extreme situations and new twists in the game.
In the end, only one will outwit, outplay and outlast to claim the title of Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize.
