CONFIRMED CAST LIST
HEROES |
![]() Rupert Boneham Rupert Boneham Age: 45 Seasons: ‘Pearl Islands’ (8th place); ‘All-Stars’ (4th place) Memorable moment: Known for his boisterous personality, bushy beard and tie-dyed shirts, Rupert made his mark on the first day of ‘Pearl Islands’ when, embracing the pirate theme of the season, he stole the shoes of the opposing tribe. |
![]() James Clement James Clement Age: 32 Seasons: ‘China’ (7th place); ‘Micronesia’ (7th place (injury)) Memorable moment: James has the unfortunate distinction of being the only player in the history of ‘Survivor’ to be voted out of the game while in possession of two immunity idols. |
![]() Colby Donaldson Colby Donaldson Age: 36 Seasons: ‘The Australian Outback’ (2nd place); ‘All-Stars’ (12th place) Memorable moment: Colby made a costly (to the tune of $900,000) decision when, after winning the final five immunity challenges, he selected the well-liked Tina Wesson to sit beside him in the final tribal council, instead of Keith Famie. Third time’s the charm? |
![]() Cirie Fields Cirie Fields Age: 39 Seasons: ‘Panama’ (4th place); ‘Micronesia’ (3rd place) Memorable moment: Cirie endeared herself to fans through two seasons of ‘Survivor’ with her sweetness while playing an amazing social game, which included several blindsides and eliminations of close allies. |
![]() Amanda Kimmel Amanda Kimmel Age: 25 Seasons: ‘China’ (3rd place); ‘Micronesia’ (2nd place) Memorable moment: Amanda became the first female to find a hidden immunity idol on ‘China,’ using it to save herself. |
![]() Jessica ''Sugar'' Kiper Jessica “Sugar” Kiper Age: 30 Season: ‘Gabon’ (3rd place) Memorable moment: Sugar spent more time on Exile Island (or “The Sugar Shack,” as she called it) than any other player; she found the hidden immunity idol almost immediately. |
![]() Stephenie LaGrossa Stephenie LaGrossa Age: 30 Seasons: ‘Palau’ (7th place); ‘Guatemala’ (2nd place) Memorable moment: Stephenie was the only surviving member of her tribe; rather than participate in a merger, she was simply absorbed into the opposing team, and was quickly voted out. |
![]() James ''J.T.'' Thomas James “J.T.” Thomas Age: 25 Season: ‘Tocantins’ (winner) Memorable moment: In one tribal challenge, J.T. lost half of a tooth to secure his victory. Host Jeff Probst later returned the tooth at the live reunion special. |
![]() Tom Westman Tom Westman Age: 45 Season: ‘Palau’ (winner) Memorable moment: During an impromptu fishing challenge, Tom stunned everyone when he caught a shark. |
![]() Candice Woodcock Candice Woodcock Age: 27 Season: ‘Cook Islands’ (8th place) Memorable moment: Candice chose to join the other tribe with then-ally Jonathan Penner — a costly mistake, as Jonathan went on to stab her in the back. |
VILLAINS |
![]() Tyson Apostol Tyson Apostol Age: 29 Season: ‘Tocantins’ (8th place) Memorable moment: Tyson will forever be remembered for his biting commentary during interview segments (“It’s funny when people cry,” he said) and his constant sparring with Sierra Reed, who managed to finish one place ahead of him. |
