The identities of the 18 contestants participating in the new Survivor have been revealed. Their names, ages, and biographies.
The new Survivor is a fact, and everything is ready for the premiere of the new season, which is expected to be the most different from what we have watched in recent years, as the survival reality show returns to its roots.
Survivor is returning to SKAI, even more spectacular and exciting, and the 18 new contestants, with minimal supplies, without fire and without tools, are already in the Dominican Republic and are ready to experience the ultimate survival challenge.
This year’s Survivors are everyday people, and Giorgos Lianos confirmed this in recent statements.
“The whole idea is to see faces we’ve never seen before. I can’t tell you if there will be Celebrities and Fighters, but there will be several changes in what we are used to seeing. Even in the colors of the teams,” said the host, also clarifying that we won’t see any former contestants from the survival reality show.
Giorgos Lianos stated that there will be characters with whom the viewer can easily connect, “because when we talk about unique characters, we are talking about people from the next door, for a Survivor that will not have an age limit, a limit on capability, and I think we will witness many ‘David vs. Goliath’ scenarios.”
