CBS today announced the 20 new
castaways who will compete in SURVIVOR:
COOK
ISLANDS
when the 13th installment of the Emmy Award-winning series premieres Thursday,
Sept. 14 (
8:00-9:00 PM
, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
SURVIVOR:
COOK
ISLANDS
will feature the series' most ethnically diverse cast to date.
The castaways will initially be organized into four tribes divided
along ethnic lines (African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic and White)
before merging in a later episode.
In addition, throughout the
series, at least one castaway each episode will be banished to a separate
island (
Exile
Island
) miles away from camp. While
being separated from the tribe is not desirable, the castaways will learn
that there is a hidden Immunity Idol somewhere on
Exile
Island
. If found, this Immunity Idol
could save an individual from being voted out at a future Tribal Council.
