"Once again, Survivor is changing things up. This time, two tribes will compete against each other while living together on one island," Survivor host Jeff Probst announced during last month's broadcast of Survivor: South Pacific's reunion show.
"They'll have to decide whether to share their resources or leave the other tribe to fend for themselves as they battle it out... Two tribes! One world! One Survivor!"
In addition to living together, the tribes of Survivor: One World will be divided by gender, with the nine male castaways competing as the Manono tribe and the nine female castaways forming the Salani tribe. Both tribes take their names from local islands.
Survivor: One World was filmed back-to-back with Survivor: South Pacific in Samoa last summer. Samoa also previously served as the filming location of Survivor: Samoa and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains when they were filmed back-to-back in Summer 2009.
