It was also posted today that in the premiere, they are doing something they did 15 years ago to start things' off. There will be a boat with supplies and each tribe has to try to gather as many supplies as they can. The twist is that there is another boat 100 yards out that has a big bag of rice. So, they have to decide how much time to spend gathering for supplies before racing out to ge the bag of rice before the other tribe.

Update: 8/25/15
Today there were tons of posts online with spoilers for some of the new twists for this season of returning players. I'd love to recap it all, but this Xfinity post sums it all up very nicely. Check out that article to find out more about: (1) different looking idols (2) idols hidden inside the challenges instead of at camp (3) redos of previous challenges that the contestants did on their season (4) going from 2 tribes and switching it up to try to break up alliances, and (5) possible return of the "extra vote" reward.

Original Post Date: 5/26/15
As voted by the public, here are our 20 Survivors who are all getting a second chance to play the game. We're going all the way back to Season 1, which took place 15 years ago!

The game has changed tremendously over the years. Will some of these players who played so long ago be able to adapt to the newer strategies and playing styles? Will their bodies be able to handle the game now that they have aged? All will be revealed soon!

For the first time ever, this cast was totally voted on by the public. The cast found out live on the Season 30 Reunion show that they would be competing in Season 31, and they immediately took off for Cambodia that night! Filming starts on May 29th and will run through July 5th. In a first for the show, seasons will be airing out of order. The cast for Season 32 was selected awhile ago and already filmed the season, however, it will actually air after Season 31 (even though it filmed before). Those poor Survivors are going to have to wait a long time to find out who their winner is, and what a long time to keep hush-hush about their time on the show.

I'm sure I will be updating this post with more information as the season gets closer to airing, so check back for the latest!
