Survivor 47is in the books and the countdown to season 48 is officially underway! The spring season will officiallykick off on Wednesday, Feb. 26as a new cast of contestants make their way to the island to compete in hopes of outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting their competitors in order to become the latest sole survivor.
Season 48 will honestly be here before you know it, but if you happen to find yourself in need of a good show to enjoy before the next season ofSurvivorbegins, you’re in luck!
While re-watching your favorite past seasons ofSurvivoris always a great option for passing the time between new seasons, this year there are actually some really amazing reality competition shows that will be kicking off new seasons beforeSurvivor’s return which are perfect for bridging the gap between season 47 and season 48. These shows aren’t only amazing reality shows worth a watch based on their own merits, but happen to be perfect forSurvivorfans as they feature iconic characters fromSurvivor!
The Traitors
Up first on our list is Peacock’s Emmy-winning reality seriesThe Traitorswhich returns for its third season on Jan. 9 and features some of the most iconicSurvivorplayersto ever play the game!
For those unfamiliar with the show,The Traitorsbrings together a group of reality TV personalities who work together on missions to add money to their prize pot. Hidden among the group of faithfuls are traitors who secretly try to sabotage the group and aim to take out the faithfuls in order to claim the prize fund for themselves.
Competing as part of the season 3 cast areSurvivorlegends Carolyn Wiger, Jeremy Collins, Boston Rob Mariano, and Tony Vlachos. WhileSurvivorcontestants have been in the mix since the show’s first season, this marks the first time more than twoSurvivoralums have played the game together which is going to make for an interesting dynamic to follow in the season ahead.
As we’ve seen in past seasons with the Bravo stars, there is strength in numbers and it’s going to be interesting to see if having moreSurvivorplayers in the game will end up being a good or bad thing for the four players' games. If they form an alliance, the players could go further in the game as a group; however, they could also choose to pick one another off earlier in the game in seeing their fellowSurvivoralums as a threat to their games.
However things play out, we know thatThe Traitorsseason 3 is a must-watch forSurvivorfans looking for a new show to enjoy as they wait forSurvivor 48to premiere!
