Survivor: Season 23 details

Here's what Survivor has in store for its next season. No Spoilers for the current season here.

Survivor liked its last ideas so much, its doing them again.

The CBS reality show, which has just declared its winner for Redemption Island, has announced its 23rd season will be Survivor: South Pacific.

Recent rumours about Samoa last month appear to have been on the money.

The next season will also repeat the Redemption Island feature of the current season, in which ‘eliminated’ tribe members could compete for a chance to rejoin the game.

Survivor: South Pacific will also bring back two previous players, just as it did this season.

It is expected to air in the US in September.

    It was originally airing in Tonga (S24 too) but Tonga pulled out of the agreement due to lack of accommodation, so they had to make very fast agreements with Samoa again to air Season 23 and 24 on time. So yeah, it was meant to be in Tonga.

    Also cast announcement 😀

  2. I am delighted with the final result. Great season all round, though there was far too much Goddy stuff in it. My partner was absolutely wound up by the cast and has vowed never to watch it again, but I’m looking forward to #23. Hope Naonka comes back!

  3. Jenna’s departure was Completely different to that of NaOnka and Kelly Purple, Osten from PI… I don’t think she’d come back though. Probst said they won’t bring Johnny Fairplay back again coz he quit and that was a waste calling him back. I reckon it will be castaways who left unexpectedly or have made the finale 2/3 and never won. I mean i would love to see Parvati back again, even though she has won and played 3 times, though she’s said she will never play again either! I hope they Don’t bring Matt back from RI, i’d rather see Andrea back again over him.

    @Nate – I hate how the past 2 seasons they haven’t spoken to everyone at the reunion either, but for TV purposes (cutting down to a 40minute show) do you think they just edit those interviews out?? I hope so, as it would suck just sitting there the whole time. I was looking forward to seeing what Francesca and Stephanie had to say, but alas they were cut out! So they probalby were interviewed, just not shown on TV! I liKe Jeff as host, I didn’t like Bryan’s style.. but that’s my opinion.

    Jenna only quit All-Stars because her mother was gravely ill at the time (she died a week later). Interesting that you bring up Probst saying quitters won’t be invited back and yet propose Fairplay, who quit Micronesia, and from memory was actually who Jeff’s quote was originally in reference to.

    A large part of why they are running out of locations is due to budget cuts. The producers have to scout for locations that are able and willing to close off a significant portion of wilderness and sustain a large production crew for 4-5 consecutive months.

    This is opposed to the older model of 1 location for 2 months, then taking a short break before moving onto a brand new location. Chances are, the producers are not going to choose an inland location anymore as they would have to use it for 2 seasons in a row, hence them choosing generic beach locations.

    Survivor: South Pacific is a very ambiguous name- casual viewers probably can’t tell that it’s the same beaches used for Samoa. Even still, I think Survivor: Polynesia has a better ring to it.

  6. I watched the finale, and not happy with the winner. Oh well. I thought this season was bad actually…far too predictable.

    As for the returning cast members…there are far too many to want back! I want Russel in every season until he finally wins one…but I don’t think he’ll be back next one. I’m probably guessing something like Phil vs Coach…but I would love to see Colby vs Jerri again or something like Rupert vs Johnny Fairplay. Or as someone pointed out on another blog Mike Skupin vs Russel as in the Russel who went home injured in Samoa. The two scariest evacuations due to injury return for redemption

    I think possibly Survivor is running out of steam due to them having to always bring back returning cast members which is sad, but I love seeing the returning cast members. Another all star season would be awesome in 24, but sad if it was the last. I don’t know about Jenna returning though, Jeff has always said quitters don’t get asked back….

  7. I’ve got to say after watching the finale tonight that I’m getting sick of Probst hosting the reunion specials. He ignored half the contestants! At least when Bryant Gumbel used to do them he made an effort to ask a question of each player, Probst just focuses on his favourites and ignores the rest.

    I’ve also got to agree with Bobby, the first 4 episodes were great but after Russell went the season plunged downhill, particularly as very few players demonstrated having an ounce of strategic nous.

    Padding the cast with 2 returnees Again is a terrible idea, they seem to be becoming overly reliant on returning players and a celebrity or 2 to draw in the viewers, rather than putting a serious effort into casting. I would imagine given they went with villains as the 2 returnees this season, they’ll bring in “heroes” this time around – based on the way the US viewing public took to Matt I’d be surprised if he wasn’t one of them, no idea who they’ll go with for the other though.

  8. I am an avid suvivor fan and the current season is one of the worst, not enough shock and twists for me. They players were hopeless and didnt strategise enuf. Better get better next season.

  9. Any speculation on who might be the two returning survivors? Coach vs. Phillip? My money’s on Matt and Andrea returning a la Bobby Jon and Stephenie in Guatemala.
    And on Twitter Jenna Morasca, winner of Amazon, hinted that she may be returning for season 24 and that it would be a third all stars season. Your thoughts?

  10. @henry
    with all the natural disaster this year incluing the ones that didnt get 24/7 media attention, of course they would run out of locations while those places rebuild and shit

  11. Not happy. I was surfing a random site today and read the winner of the current season. I’m angry at a) myself considering tvtonight did warn us and b) Nine for not broadcasting up to date eps.
    I don’t know anyone who owns a Delorean with a flux capacitor. Finding a hypnotist to erase my memory is an option but would require surgical precision. Any suggestions??
