The cast members for Survivor 43 have officially been released. The reality survival show has been running strong since May 2000 and fans still find it exciting. This show puts a large group of strangers together in an isolated location, finding their own source of fire and shelter, and forces them to use both their physical and social skills in order to move forward in the game. Contestants face challenges such as running, swimming, and even puzzle solving, and can earn immunity from elimination when doing these challenges.
Contestants are split up into three tribes of six people, forcing them to work together as a team. With food in short supply, 18 hungry people, and intense physical challenges each day, the competition can sometimes be hostile. Host Jeff Probst, hosting the show since it first began in 2000, awarded Maryanne Oketch as the winner in season 42. Season 42 took place in the islands of Fiji and the runner-up was Mike Turner.
This new season is also set to take place in the islands of Fiji with 18 strong and willing contestants ready to go. According to Parade, this season's contestants consist of a unique group of people from all different ages and backgrounds. It has been reported that season 43 is going to be far more fast and extreme than its previous seasons. The new season will be premiering on the show’s 621st episode. Cast members will be fighting for a chance not only to win but also to be as memorable and engaging as some of the great casts that have preceded them.
Cassidy Clark is 26 years old. Her hometown is Plano, Texas, but she currently resides in Austin, Texas, working as a designer. Following Cassidy, there's Cody Assenmacher, 35, from Preston, Iowa. Cody is currently residing in Honolulu working in elevator sales. Dwight Moore, age 22, is from Palo Alto, California. Dwight lives in Collierville, Tennessee, and he is a graduate student. Elizabeth “Elie” Scott is a 31-year-old woman who is originally from Atlanta but now resides in Salt Lake City working as a clinical psychologist. Geo Bustamante, 36, is from Miami and is now residing in Honolulu working as a project manager. These are just some of the incredibly interesting cast members on the new season.
It is clear to see that this large list of new contestants is an interesting one to say the least. It will surely be intriguing to see how this unique group of individuals comes together to fight it out for the one million dollar prize. Each contestant seems to bring their own unique set of skills to the table. Seeing how a psychologist, Paralympian, pet cremator, elevator salesman, heart valve specialist, and much more can end up clashing will certainly make for a very entertaining season of Survivor. Fans look forward to seeing who will have what it takes to take home the prize.
Survivor 43 premieres Sept. 21 at 8pm EST on CBS.
