Survivor 42 cast reveal: Prepare in advance for two-hour premiere
First things first, though, let’s kick things off with where the game stands for now. There are eighteen players who are a part of the game and for the second season in a row, they will be divided into tribes of three. There is no theme or prevailing twist this time around, and we imagine that it will look and feel fairly similar to season 41. After all, these two seasons were filmed back to back!
New Survivor video! Be sure to check out our thoughts on the end of season 41 now below! Once you do just that, remember to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube to make sure you don’t miss any other updates leading into the season.
Without further ado, let’s get a preliminary look at some of the players. It’s another extremely diverse cast, and there are also more Canadians than we’ve seen on a single season so far. (Two contestants were born in Canada, while another resides there.)
