The Survivor 47 cast has been announced and their first episode is on Wednesday, September 18.
Fiji welcomed 18 new players to compete for the $1 million prize, and Jeff Probst returned as the host.
Caroline Vidmar is one of the new players, and she is a 27-year-old strategy consultant.
That job title might leave fans with some questions.
Caroline is from Palos Verdes, California, and now resides in Chicago Illinois.
She is one of several players that have ties to California.
Anika Dhar, Kisham Patel, and Jon Lovett from the Survivor cast all call California home.
Who is Caroline on Survivor 47?
“It’s just as green, and vibrant, and wonderful as it is on TV,” Caroline said about Fiji during a Survivor pre-season interview.
“I was thinking you guys had a little bit of a filter; it wasn’t going to actually be this gorgeous. It’s stunning,” Caroline added.
Below is a full introduction video for Caroline, who speaks about having the “fight” in her to compete on Survivor 47.
“Meet Caroline, a strategy consultant living in Chicago, IL who is perfectly poised to be the wolf in sheep’s clothing!” reads the caption Survivor added to her video.
As the caption hints, appearances can be deceiving. Caroline looks like a player who wants to enjoy a free trip to Fiji and be on television. But her background in water polo shows she has an inner toughness.
Caroline also reveals she went to business school. She speaks about additional tools that she can use to play the game.
