Meet the Full Cast of 'Survivor: Game Changers'
TV

Twenty returning players and the twist in the upcoming 34th season of the CBS competition series have been revealed.

AceShowbiz - CBS has announced the full cast list of "Survivor: Game Changers". "Tocantins" winner J.T. Thomas joins the previously announced players which include two-time champion Sandra Diaz-Twine, "Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty" winner Tony Vlachos, four-time player Cirie Fields, "Cook Islands" runner-up Ozzy Lusth, three-time player Ciera Easton, "Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty" 2nd runner-up Tai Trang, Caleb Reynolds and Michaela Bradshaw, who returns to the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji after filming "Millennials vs Gen X".

Zeke Smith also returns to the same beach to film back-to-back seasons. Andrea Boehlke, Malcolm Freberg and Jeff Varner will appear for the third time, while Aubry Bracco, Brad Culpepper, Sierra Dawn-Thomas, Hali Ford, Sarah Lacina, Troyzan Robertson and Debbie Wanner are back for the second time.

The twenty players will be split into two tribes, with Michaela, Aubry, Sandra, Ciera, Malcolm, Hali, Caleb, Troyzan, Jeff and Tony in Mana Tribe. The other tribe called Nuku consists of Andrea, Brad, Sierra, Cirie, Sarah, Ozzy, Zeke, J.T., Tai and Debbie.

On why they bring back players from previous seasons, host Jeff Probst tells EW, "The last few years we've had so many new players that were good players, and the game has continued to escalate in terms of the level of gameplay that it suddenly became apparent that we actually have a lot of great game players."

"And so we've had this abundance of players now, and we felt like we had enough where we could go old school with a guy like [Jeff] Varner and Sandra and Cirie, and also go as recently as 'Millennials vs. Gen X' with somebody like Zeke or Michaela," he adds. "It just felt right."

Given that it is "Game Changers", there will be constant changes during the season. "So when it comes to idols, there will be no consistency," Probst explains. "Usually there's a theme. You have to find them in a certain way or work a certain amount of effort to get it. Not this time. One might drop in your lap, one might be at Tribal, one might be at the bottom of the well, one might be at a challenge."

He continues, "It depends how often idols get played for how far down the list we'll get. Because if idols are held until the end, then we won't see anything and we'll use them next year. But if things go well and people start playing their idols - which I think will happen - it could be a really fun and crazy adventure to watch them and what they have to do to get them."

"Survivor: Game Changers" premieres Wednesday, March 8 at 8 P.M. ET on CBS.
