Check out this list of seven Survivor alums who will battle in this epic reality show.
1) Michaela Bradshaw

5) Sebastian Noel
Sebastian Noel was a part of Ghost Island, which aired in 2018. For the majority of the time, he blended with the majority of the cast and played it safe.

During his time on the show, he was part of four tribes including Naviti, Malolo, Yanua, and Lavita, and placed sixth in the competition.
