Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance castaways have revealed the most shameless things they did to rack in votes when America determined which 20 players would compete out of 32 hopeful candidates.

Most of the castaways pandered for votes by talking on radio shows, podcasts or getting the word out on social media. But several veteran players went to extreme lengths to seek redemption on Survivor, Entertainment Weekly reported.
Peih-Gee Law laughed about posting two bikini pictures to attract voters.
"Hands down, totally shameless," she told EW. "See, this is my problem, I have no shame."
Kelley Wentworth and Monica Padilla had the same idea. Wentworth wore a bikini in her campaign video, while Padilla ran down Hollywood Boulevard in her bikini and tube socks.

"It's just about having fun," Wentworth said, adding that she had to put more effort in than most contenders because she didn't even make it to the merge on Survivor: San Juan del Sur.
Padilla promised her Twitter followers that if she received 139 tweets showing support, she'd run through a "tourist scene" with her "cheeks to the wind." Padilla achieved her goal and recorded the hilarious event. The video got around 20,000 views in 24 hours.
Andrew Savage bought ad space on the CBS "Second Chance" website where home viewers voted. He also made a football commercial inspired by Larry Fitzgerald.
Kimmi Kappenberg had family members and biker friends in different states handing out flyers. She also asked a male friend to completely take over her Twitter account since she was taking a "disastrous, roller coaster nosedive."
Spencer Bledsoe tweeted a picture of himself with his shirt off, writing, "No one in America needs a tan." He showed off his terrible sunburn in the process.

Stephen Fishbach appeared on Dalton Ross' radio show, which he called "pretty shameless" on his part.
And last but not least, Vytas Baskauskas actually bribed his own college students. He offered his math students extra credit if they could prove they campaigned for him to compete on Survivor via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
Baskauskas asked the students to provide screenshots of their accounts as proof, and apparently everyone followed through with it. The teacher joked that if grading on a curve, no one really ended up getting extra credit.
Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance premieres Wednesday, September 23 with a special 90-minute broadcast at 8PM ET/PT. The finale of Big Brother's seventeenth season will follow from 9:30-11PM ET/PT.
