Survivor 47 releases extensive video of the new cast
Below is a nearly 20-minute video introducing the Survivor 47 cast. We hear directly from the players as they speak about the chance to play Survivor.
The new group includes a radio host, an ER doctor, a flight attendant, a freelance writer, and an ICU nurse.
“I am exuberant, curious, and calculated. Calculated being my favorite word,” Anika Dhar begins the video before she laughs.
Anika is a marketing manager living in Los Angeles, California, and she reveals that her online dating prompt states that she is convinced “I can win Survivor.”
Check out what Anika and the other 17 castaways have to say in the fun video.
More about Survivor 47
The new Survivor season begins with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, September 18. Survivor also returns to its regular time slot at 8/7c on CBS.
Survivor will displace Big Brother episodes, as the BB26 cast has enjoyed that 8/7c time slot for most of the summer. Until the Big Brother season ends, it will air later in the evening after Survivor.
Here’s the updated Big Brother episode schedule, with the show airing until mid-October this year.
Survivor 47 is also a 26-day season (instead of the old 39-day format). Filming was done in Fiji again.
Host Jeff Probst is also talking up Survivor 50 again. The producers are working hard on that upcoming season, even though fans must wait for it to arrive.
Jeff says he has 100 people he wants for Survivor 50, and the theme could depend on which people he decides to bring back. We expect New Era legends in the mix.
An abbreviated version of the Survivor 47 cast introduction video is shared below. It lets the castaways have quick soundbites ahead of the new season.
