20. Woo Hwang — He may have made the ultimate bad decision in the Cagayan finale by bringing Tony Vlachos to the final tribal council with him (he lost 8-1 because of it), but can you really deny that hair and the super chill, not a care in the world vibe? The answer is no, you can’t.
19. Dan Rengering (David vs. Goliath) — Dan branded himself as a go-getter, the guy that at one point in his life felt like a David but turned his life and health around to emerge as a Goliath. His values and...

It’s hard to interview someone returning to play Survivor when you haven’t even seen how or what they did the first time around. That was the situation when I spoke with Malcolm Freberg in May 2012 as he was getting ready to depart for Survivor: Caramoan — Fans vs. Favorites (premiering Feb. 13 on CBS). It was only two weeks after he had finished filming Survivor: Philippines (which would not air for another four months). Luckily, I did have a few things to go on. I had met and spoken with Malcolm on location for that season, and had watched...

What’s harder than playing Survivor? Playing it twice. And what’s even harder than playing it twice? Playing it in back-to-back seasons. It used to be that people that played in consecutive seasons at least got a break of a few months. That’s how it was for Rupert Boneham, Stephenie Lagrossa, Bobby Jon Drinkard, Amanda Kimmel, and James Clement, who all went back-to-back. But when Russell Hantz did two in a row for Samoa and Heroes vs. Villains, he only received a two-and-a-half week break due to a shorter turnaround in production — which also made him the first...

Math was never my strongest subject. But it doesn’t take a genius to perform simple arithmetic, and by my count — not including the All Stars or Fans vs. Favorites type seasons — Survivor has now brought back nine returning players to compete alongside newbies. And only one of those nine — Stephenie Lagrossa in Survivor: Guatemala — was a woman. The rest — Bobby Jon Drinkard, Russell Hantz, Boston Rob Mariano, Ozzy Lusth, Benjamin “Coach” Wade, and now Michael Skupin, Russell Swan, and Jonathan Penner on Survivor: Philippines — have all been dudes.
What gives with the discrepancy? I went to the host himself for answers.

A Miss USA competitor, two former NFL players, and an Iraq war veteran are among the contestants who will be playing for $1 million when Survivor: Redemption Island premieres Wednesday, February 16 on CBS. But the most famous faces competing have yet to be announced, as two former players will once again be returning to the game, bringing the total contestant count to 18. (Their identities will be revealed later in the week.) This will not be the first time that two former players have come back to lead their tribes into battle: Stephenie Lagrossa and Bobby Jon Drinkard of Survivor: Palau returned for the Guatemala season,...
