Survivor season 36 won’t air until Spring 2018, but 19 of the 20 cast members for Ghost Island have been revealed by insiders.
Despite being well over six months away from starting, Survivor season 36 has wrapped up filming and details are continuing to leak. Over the past week (or so), the logo and location photos have leaked online. Now we have far more information that has been revealed: the cast for Survivor Ghost Island.
On Sunday, Inside Survivor revealed 19 of the 20 castaways that will be competing in the 36th season on Ghost Island. While we don’t yet know every bit of information about every castaway — or obviously the identity of all 20 — it’s always interesting to see this early. It gives you a loose idea of the people fans can expect to see once the season airs.
Though we’re still waiting on what the Ghost Island twist will actually bring, what we do know is that it’s a 20-person cast with 10 men and 10 women. Outside of that, though, all of the information is limited to the particulars that you can find on the title cards when the show airs.
To get us started, let’s take a look at the female castaways that have been revealed, listing their age, occupation and location as well (courtesy of Inside Survivor):
Chelsea Townsend | 25 | NFL Cheerleader | Los Angeles, CA
Desiree “Des London” Afuye | 21 | Student/Production Assistant | New York, NY
Jenna Bowman | 23 | Account Executive | Birmingham, MI
Kellynn Becthold | 30 | Product Development Consultant | Chicago, IL
Laurel Johnson | 29 | Healthcare Consultant | Minneapolis, MN
Libby Vincek | 24 | Model | Fort Worth, TX
Morgan Ricke | 29 | Whale Trainer (Seaworld) | Orlando, FL
Stephanie “Stephy” Gonzalez | 26 | Graphics Company Owner | Ocala, FL
Stephanie Rae | 34 | Yoga Instructor | Chicago, IL

As you can see, there are only nine female contestants that have been revealed by Inside. That means that there is one other woman who will be competing whose identity has yet to be revealed. Now, let’s take a look at the 10 male castaways that have been revealed:
Bradley Kleihege | 25 | ? | Haslett, MI
Brendan Shapiro | 41 | Teacher | Herndon, VA
Chris Noble | “20s” | Personal Trainer/Model | ?
Domenick Abbate | 38 | ? | Nesconset, NY
Donathan Hurley | 26 | ? | Kimper, KY
Jacob Derwin | 22 | Writer/Musician | Merrick, NY
James Lin | 24 | Management Consultant | New York, NY
Michael Yerger | 18 | Model | Los Angeles, CA
Sebastian Noel | 22 | Deep Sea Fisherman | Viera, FL
Wendell Holland | 33 | Furniture Company Owner | Philadelphia, PA
The two thing that stands out when comparing the males to the females is the age. The men are a decisively older group, even with an 18-year old in their midst. However, this overall still a very young cast with Brendan Shapiro being the oldest (as far as we know) at only 41 years old.
Other than that, for whatever reason there is more information about the female contestants than the male. You’ll notice a lot of question marks and uncertainties with the males. Who’s to say why that’s the case, but it’s curious nonetheless.
