The Survivor 44 cast: Who’s in the new season?

Survivor is just around the CBS corner, but can the Survivor 44 cast top the excitement brought from last season? Survivor 43 gave fans epic blindsides, thoughtful gameplay and a winner a lot of viewers did not see coming. Plus, winner Mike Gabler announced at the finale his decision to donate all of his prize money to charity. That’s – *dramatic pause* – “one million dollars.” Not only did you just imagine Dr. Evil raising his pinky to his mouth, that’s a very generous act of goodwill.

How can a season possibly top such an incredible and surprise ending? Well, if you’ve seen the upcoming preview highlighting the Survivor 44 cast, this new season might prove to be a little more dangerous. Hopefully, this season will not see any major injuries or medical evacuations, but watching someone slip and fall after rock climbing does not seem like a good indicator of what’s to come. Plus, the medical staff is called for during a challenge; fingers crossed those players are okay!

Who is in the Survivor 44 cast?
