Lisa Whelchel, who played wealthy diva Blair Warner in the '80s family sitcom "Facts of Life", is among the 15 "Survivor: Philippines" castmembers announced by CBS Monday (Aug. 20).
Another celebrity hoping to pad his bank account with another million bucks is retired Major League Baseball star Jeff Kent.
