'Survivor: Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites' Cast

CBS has announced the cast for Survivor: Caramoan – Fans vs. Favorites.

Twenty castaways will compete on the 26th season of the reality series, which kicks off with a two-hour premiere Wednesday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m.

“Favorites” like Brandon Hantz (South Pacific), Brenda Lowe (Nicaragua), John Cochran (South Pacific) and Malcolm Freberg, who placed fourth on season 25, are among the 10 returning players competing in the spring edition. It’s notable that all of the returning players are from relatively recent seasons and were not among the cast in the first 15 Survivor installments.

Here’s how it’s going to work: The Favorites will make up the Bikal Tribe, while 10 “ultimate fans” will make up the Gota Tribe. While the Favorites may have an edge with their prior knowledge of the game, they may be bigger targets than the Fans, whose extensive knowledge of the game may be an advantage.

This is the second time Survivor has done a Fans vs. Favorites season. In Micronesia (season 16), veteran Parvati Shallow was crowned sole survivor. (Shallow recaps Survivor for THR.) Erik Reichenbach, who was eliminated after giving up his immunity necklace in that season, will be a Favorite.

Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst and David Burris are executive producers with Leisa Francis co-executive producer.
