Survivor Philippines cast revealed: Blair Warner and three former castaways compete
Aug 20 2012 04:20 pm ET
CBS announced 15 of the 18 contestants competing on this fall's edition of Survivor. The 25th edition of the reality competition will feature three teams, each led by a former castaway who had previously been medically evacuated from the game.
Although CBS will not officially announce the three returning castaways until later this week, Reality Blurred reports the players will be Michael Skupin (the guy who fell in the fire in Survivor: Australian Outback), Russell Swan (the guy who may or may not have died temporarily during a challenge in Survivor: Samoa) and Jonathan Penner (who played in Survivor: Cook Islands and was medi-vac'd during Survivor: Fans vs Favorites).
These three aren't the only cast members recognizable to the home audience. The season's oldest contest, Lisa Whelchel, is best known from her role as Blair Warner from The Facts of Life. Joining her is former San Francisco Giants MVP Jeff Kent, a former Miss Utah Teen and a former Miss Delaware USA.
The full list of announced contestants is below. Survivor: Philippines debuts with a 90-minute episode on CBS Wednesday, September 19 at 8pm.
