Survivor:Caramoan – Cast Revealed

The 26th Edition of Survivor , Survivor:Caramoan, premieres on CBS, Wednesday, February 13 at 8pm E/P.

CBS announced the cast of Survivor:Caramoan, and tells us the format will indeed be modeled after the popular “Fans vs Favorites’.  ‘Favorites start out on the’Bikal Tribe‘ and ‘fans’ start out on the ‘Gota Tribe‘.

The ‘favorites’, while not former winners and all are from more recent editions, all seem to have a common denominator of either making boneheaded moves (giving away their Immunity Idol, then being voted out at Tribal), being voted out very early in their season, or were controversial and had let their mouths get in the way of their gameplay.  The ‘fans’ run the gamut of bartender to firefighter/emt and Iraq war veteran to race car driver.

A video sneak peek of Survivor:Caramoan follows the cast bios.
