With today’s reveal of the Ghost Island cast, we have official confirmation that this will be the season with the youngest average player age of any 36 seasons in the show’s history. Based on some 2+2=4-1=3 quick maths, the average age of a player is 28 years old, coming in more than two years younger than the average Survivor China contestant, who was 30.125 years old.
Regardless, from early looks at pre-interviews, CBS bios and introduction videos, it appears as though Survivor Ghost Island has plenty of players who are fans or superfans of the show. Considering the history-based twist of this season and the fact that players will try to reverse the curse of past contestants, we could be in store for a really fun season.
