CBS has revealed the identities of the 18 individuals who will star on Survivor's 32nd edition, which already filmed on the island of Kaoh Rong in Cambodia and will premiere Wednesday, February 17 with a special 90-minute episode at 8PM ET/PT.
Copying the format of the previous Survivor: Cagayan -- Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty season, Survivor will feature three tribes divided by distinctive characteristics -- high IQ, muscular physique and physical looks -- to prove whether there is any truth to stereotypes of people better suited to play and win the game.
The cast includes an emergency room doctor, a former FBI agent, a bounty hunter, a professional poker player, a quantitative strategist, a former NBA champion, and a Super Fan.
One castaway might look familiar to reality TV viewers -- Caleb Reynolds, an Army veteran who had competed on Big Brother's sixteenth season. You might remember him as a ladies' man who referred to himself as "Beast Mode Cowboy."
