AceShowbiz - For those who wonder how and where the past winners and contestants of "Survivor" are, they can relinquish the thirst with "Surviving Survivor". From season 1 winner Richard Hatch to Russell Hantz who participated in last year's "Samoa", the special will give an update of their well-being.
Some like Hatch, would give never-before-heard stories of their experiences while on the show. These bunch include also James Clement ("China", "Micronesia"), Colby Donaldson ("Australia", "All-Stars"), Cirie Fields ("Panama", "Micronesia"), Russell Hantz ("Samoa"), Stephenie LaGrossa ("Palau", "Guatemala"), Jerri Manthey ("Australia," "All-Stars"), Parvati Shallow ("Cook Islands", "Micronesia"), Benjamin "Coach" Wade ("Tocantins") and Tom Westman ("Palau").
The special will also recount what happen to some of the cast after the show ended. There will be the compelling story of Ethan Zohn ("Africa", "All-Stars") and Jenna Morasca ("Amazon", "All-Stars") who become lovers after meeting and how she helps him fighting cancer. Also, updates on Elisabeth Hasselbeck ("Australia"), Rupert Boneham ("Pearl Islands", "All-Stars"), and Yul Kwon ("Cook Islands").
"Surviving Survivor" will air on Thursday, February 4. A week later, the 20th season will begin in the form of "Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains". Familiar faces who are known for fierce gaming strategy and their courageous effort are reunited in Upolu, Samoa to prove who will be the toughest of all.
