Survivor Season 27: Blood vs. Water--UPDATE: OFFICIAL CAST

UPDATE: AUGUST 21--THE CAST IS NOW CONFIRMED!

On May 17, I first published this post with the leaked cast for Survivor 27: Blood vs. Water. I have now removed all of the speculation, and have updated this post with the correct information. The only information that was incorrect was that RC Saint-Armour was competing with her father. She actually is not, and Candice Cody (Woodcock) is instead. UPDATE, 8/29/13: Jeff Probst said that RC and her dad were in the Philippines, set to compete. However, on a final doctor check-up, her dad's blood pressure was extremely high, so they pulled them from the game. Within a couple hours, Candice and her husband were called, flown to the Philippines and picked up in a helicopter. From there they joined the group in time for the group photo.

The only other piece of information that was incorrect was that we thought Gervase's nephew was competing, but it is actually his niece.

Along with the cast being confirmed, we now know what the twists will be. These twists sound very interesting. I'm not sure whether they will be good or bad, but nonetheless, they will make things interesting and will really change the game.

  1. "Day Zero" Twist: ALL of the Survivors, the returning players as well as their loved ones will be sent out the night before the game actually begins. This is supposed to make them think that they will be playing "with" their loved one. 
  2. "Loved One Split" Twist: The next morning when they meet Jeff, they will be separated into 2 different tribes: Galang (Returning Players-yellow) and Tadhana (Loved Ones-red).
  3. "Immediate Tribal Council" Twist: Minutes after being separated, each tribe must vote out 1 member. Those 2 Survivors will go to Redemption Island, with a chance to later return to the game.
  4. "New Redemption Island Duel" Twist: Before each duel to see who stays at Redemption Island and who leaves the game for good, Jeff will give them the opportunity to swap places with their loved one. If they think the other person would have a better chance at winning, they might want to swap. If they do so, the other person joins the OTHER tribe. They are not limited to one swap...they could swap again at the next duel, should they win. 
  5. "Immunity Idol Clue" Twist: The winner of the duel at Redemption Island earns the right to give a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol to anyone they want to--it doesn't matter which tribe.

The season premiere is Sept. 18! So, who will officially be competing on Season 27? Here are all 10 of the returning Survivors, along with their loved ones (all of the photos and information has been updated from the original post):
