Speaking of the artists…
‘Survivor’ 47 cast and contestants: Is it… Jon Lovett?
Now, typically, viewers aren’t introduced to the cast of a new season until the premiere episode gets closer.
However, after the Season 46 finale, CBS released the first look trailer, and only a few faces were confirmed for the competition.
First, Jeff Probst is back, as he has apparently shown no plans to retire as host, and he talked about the show in the trailer.
“Everyone Survivor “The story starts with a blank page. It’s up to the players to make their mark,” he says.
Then, we met some players who didn’t reveal their names but gave us enough clues to do some investigating.
Like Sierra Wright. She was crowned Miss Delaware USA in 2018 and Miss Delaware Teen USA in 2015. She calls herself an “underdog,” but if we’ve learned anything, we know a beauty queen should never be overlooked!
Jon Lovett is also on the list. Fans were shocked to see the Obama-era speechwriter and comedian in the trailer, plainly stating, “I have no outdoor skills. What am I doing here?”
The rest of the cast was announced two weeks before the premiere. The roster includes:
Tini Chirichillo, 24, a freelance writer from New Jersey.
Rome Cooney, 30, an e-sports commentator from Arizona.
Tianna Halls, 27, a flight attendant from Hawaii
Anika Dhar, 26, marketing manager from California.
Genevieve Mushaluk, 33, a lawyer from Manitoba.
Sue Smee, 59, the oldest contestant this season, from New York.
Location, location, location
We’re back, baby!
After the series traveled the world for the first 16 years, the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji, became Survivor’s permanent location.
“I hope we’re always here,” Jeff Probst declared in 2017 when the show officially moved to the South Pacific Ocean in season 33
so far so good!
‘Survivor’ 47 spoilers: What secrets do we know so far?
As you can imagine, being one of CBS’s hit shows, most of the twists and turns of this season have been kept very closely guarded.
However, we learned something from Jon Lovett when he came on the show. the late show in June, alongside his “Pod Save America” co-hosts, Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor.
When Stephen Colbert commented on how fit John looked, he responded, “It was either Survivor Or Ozempic.”
As for what he could share, John was quick to say that the show’s confidentiality agreement is “crazy,” and that he could only reveal that he was on the island “for quite some time.”
However, he also said that living on the island gave him one “benefit”.
“I had one advantage—I consider anything below the Four Seasons to be camping.”
However, according to what we know about the filming schedule, it’s a pretty sure conclusion that John won’t make it to the finale. So, you can pick one off your list!
