Just like last year, the 18 all-new cast members of “Survivor 42” will start out the game on three different tribes. There will initially be six people per group, but as the numbers begin to dwindle things will be shaken up and the three tribes will likely merge into two, and then eventually one. Once again, the reality TV show features a wide range of diverse cast members from all walks of life. Whomever outwits, outplays and outlasts all of the others will be rewarded with a cool $1 million check at the end of the season. Scroll down to see which castaways are on each of the “Survivor 42” tribes: Ika, Taku and Vati.
The 42nd season of “Survivor” filmed last summer on the islands of Fiji with Jeff Probst returning as host. It will debut with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 on CBS. This cycle is not to be confused with “Australian Survivor: Blood V Water,” which is currently airing Down Under with American legend Sandra Diaz-Twine as one of the players.
