Last month the winner of Survivor: Nicaragua was chosen and we learned that the hit CBS competitive reality TV series would revolve around Redemption Island. Today we get our first look at the cast of the new season of Survivor: Redemption Island and we learn a little bit about each of the competitors.
Sixteen of Survivor: Redemption Island’s 18 castmembers were announced today by CBS. The reality show’s 22nd season newcomers are joined by two former Castaways, to be named later this week, also competing for the million-dollar prize and “one last shot at redemption.” The delayed announcement is sure to fuel the campfire rumors that this season—the second in a row to be filmed in Nicaragua—would feature a showdown between all-timers Boston Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz. Also unclear is what role the two vets will play in the series’ new twist: instead of immediately leaving the game, a voted-off Castaway is sent to the isolated Redemption Island, living alone in exile until joined by the next person eliminated at Tribal Council. The two compete in a duel, with the loser of the showdown going home while the winner continues on for a chance to return to the game and vie for the title of Sole Survivor.
While we wait to find out which 2 Survivor alums are part of the cast of Redemption Island, here is a list of the just announced “regular people” castmembers:

Andrea Boehlke, 21, Random Lake, Wis.; former Marine
Matt Elrod, 22, Nashville; pre-med student
Francesca Hogi, 36, Washington D.C.; attorney
Kristina Kell, 46, Malibu; law student

Sarita White, 36, Santa Monica; visual effects producer
Julie Wolfe, 50, Oceanside, Calif.; firefighter
Steve Wright, 51, Huntington Beach, Calif.; former NFL player
Okay … based on her name alone, I’m already rootin’ for Krista Klumpp to win the $1 million dollar prize! I am an unabashed Survivor fan, have been for years, so I am really excited to get back to the island and watch the drama unfold. To be honest, I’m not all that excited about the Redemption Island twist but, then again, at first I didn’t love the idea of Exile Island … and then it grew on me. I am really looking forward to a whole new season of Survivor, are you?
