What CBS Has Already Confirmed About Season 34
By Anna Webster
Although we’re about a month away from the premiere of Survivor: Game Changers, CBS hasn’t confirmed much information. Here’s what’s officially known.
Now that we’re closing in on one month until Survivor returns to its Wednesday night slot, it seems like there’s no better time than the present to review what’s officially been confirmed by CBS for Season 34: Game Changers.
As the name suggests, this season will once again feature all returning players, last done in Season 32, Second Chance. However, there was no fan vote this time to determine this season’s cast.
Additionally, the show has returned to Fiji — specifically the Mamanuca Islands — to film both Millennials vs. Gen X and Game Changers. Although the show has been to Fiji before, this is the first time this island chain has been featured. (Fiji itself was filmed on a different island.)
Now for that all-important question when it comes to an all-returnee season: who’s playing? Unfortunately, CBS hasn’t confirmed the full cast just yet. However, what we do know has some very interesting picks.
First, Millennials vs. Gen X will have at least one representative: Michaela Bradshaw. She made it to the seventh episode of last season, but was blindsided for being too strategic too early. Here’s the vote, via Lauren Concon on YouTube:
Still a great blindside. Anyway, the confirmed cast also includes Cirie Fields, former member of the Black Widow Brigade and a Panama, Fans vs. Favorites, and Heroes vs. Villains alumna; Caleb Reynolds and Tai Trang, buddies from Kaoh Rong; Tony Vlachos, king of the Spy Shack and winner of Cagayan; Ciera Eastin, who voted out her mom on Blood vs. Water and returned for Second Chance; and Ozzy Lusth, also a Cook Islands and Fans vs. Favorites alum like Cirie as well as South Pacific.
Just one more person will also definitely return to Game Changers: The one and only two-time winner of the show, Sandra Diaz-Twine, who took home the million dollars both on Pearl Islands and Heroes vs. Villains. Presumably, this status will put a large target on her back quickly, but she certainly has a way of sticking around to win it all.
