Survivor
"Survivor" Season 29 premieres Sep. 24 on CBS. CBS

“Survivor,” which continues to “outlast” all other reality shows on TV, returns Sep. 24 for season 29. This season, called “Survivor: San Juan Del Sur – Blood vs. Water,” will return to the San Juan Del Sur beach in Nicaragua, the third “Survivor” season to take place at the location. Jeff Probst will, of course, return to host as 18 new contestants get ready to play “Survivor.”

Like the original “Blood vs. Water” season in 2013, the contestants for this season come in pairs of people with previous, pre-show relationships (father and daughter, spouses, etc.). However, this season one of the pairs, a same gender female pair, backed out at the last minute due to a medical issue cutting the number of contestants down to 18 and making this the first season of “Survivor” with an un-balanced male to female ratio in the cast.

This season will also see the temporary end of “Redemption Island” after producers decided to change the format and bring back “Exile Island.” “Exile Island has not been seen since “Survivor: Tocantins” in Season 18.

Here are the 9 pairs of contestants for the new season:
