Survivor Goes to China

It's time once again for a group of camera-hungry castaways to leave their real lives behind in pursuit of outwitting, outplaying and outlasting one another.

CBS has revealed the identities of the 16 contestants who will be vying for the Survivor title as well as some of the twists they'll face in the 15th installment of the reality competition, set on China's Zhelin Lake in the Jiangxi Province.

The new season kicks off Sept. 20, with the castaways starting their journey in the center of downtown Shanghai. From there, they'll decamp to HuangPu Mountain's Mi Tuo Temple where they will participate in a Buddhist ceremony after which they will be forced to abandon their worldly possessions.

They will then be dropped off on two separate islands with only the clothes on their backs and divided into two tribes: Fei Long (translation: Flying Dragon) and Zhan Hu (translation: Fighting Tiger). Each tribe will be given a copy of Sun Tzu's The Art of War for motivation and helpful hints on how to play the game.

Adding an element of mystery to the game, Hidden Immunity Idol will be situated in plain sight at each camp, though the castaways won't realize it right away.

Each week, the tribe that wins the Reward Challenge will have the chance to kidnap a member of the losing tribe. Before the kidnappee departs for the enemy camp, he or she will be handed a note from Jeff Probst and instructed to give it to an opposing tribe member of their choice.

The note contains a clue tipping off the recipient to the location of the Hidden Immunity Idol within their camp, information that he or she then must decide whether or not to share with the rest of the tribe.

At the next immunity challenge, the kidnapped victim returns to his or her original tribe.

Here's a rundown of the individuals competing for the title of Sole Survivor:

  • James Clement, 30; Gravedigger from Lafayette, Louisiana
  • Dave Cruser, 37; Former model from Simi Valley, California
  • Jaime Dugan, 22; Student from Columbia, South Carolina
