CBS’s “Survivor” Season 45 is gearing up to hit our TV screens soon and we cannot wait to see the cast in action!!
You have to be a very tough competitor to participate in a game like “Survivor” and in this game, you have to hold some things back from your fellow contestants.
See what’s some of the cast members secrets this season below. Per EW:
“This is all Cody’s fault, but I’m not telling anybody that I’m in sales. I mean, after Brian Heidik in season 5 as a used car salesman, I thought we were going to be fine. I didn’t know if I’d have to lie about it. But him throwing Justine as hard as he did under the bus, the submarine, the plane, whatever you want to call it, I knew that I had to come up with something else.” – Kaleb Gebrewold
“I don’t want them to know that I’ve been in sales for my entire life because every time someone hears the word sales, they just obviously close up and they’ll think that you’re multiple people in one. That’s definitely something I don’t want them to know.” – Dee Valladares
“I don’t want the other players to know that I am very serious Survivor super fan. I’m trying to downplay it as much as possible. I have a lot of fun in these interviews because I can spit facts and do this whole thing, but once I’m on the island, I just need to dumb it down. I need to play it cool. I’m not going to be rattling boot lists off like I do when I can’t sleep at night to put me to sleep. I’m going to just be mellow, cool Brandon, and hopefully that works out for me.” – Brandon Donlon
We can’t wait to watch! September 27th!
The 45th edition kicks off with historic extended 90-minute original episodes, on Wednesday, Sept. 27 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The series, which is currently nominated for three Emmys, including Outstanding Reality Competition Program, is also available to stream on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs). The show is hosted by Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst.
After 23 years on television and 652 episodes, the groundbreaking broadcast hit and most-watched reality show on Paramount+ returns with the biggest season of the greatest game ever played. Through longer weekly episodes, SURVIVOR will take a deeper dive into the players’ stories as they’re stranded on the stunning islands of Fiji. Viewers will watch as castaways form a society and adapt to their physical and social surroundings while contending with treacherous new elements and navigating an ever-shifting social game. This determined group will be divided into three tribes of six and face a faster, grittier season from the moment they step on the beach. The moral dilemmas and extreme situations will test even the strongest competitor, and the mental and physical challenges require players to constantly evolve their strategies to survive another day.
The dynamic individuals competing on the milestone 45th season are from diverse backgrounds and bring fresh perspectives to this new era of the game, with the same ultimate goal: to outwit, outplay and outlast. And in the end, only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize.
