Meet the Full Cast of 'Survivor 46'

The cast of 'Survivor 46'

The last season of Survivor was unique in many ways. Despite being the fifth with the "new era" structure, season 45 certainly made a name for itself. Every 90-minute episode was full of laugh-out-loud moments, inspiring characters, and unbelievable strategy. We saw one of the most disastrous tribes in the show's history, a record-making Shot in the Dark play, one castaway's metamorphosis from a social pariah into a fan favorite, and a showmance blossom. It all culminated in the finale, where one of the most chaotic Survivor votes ever led to the most dominant win of the new era.

That uniqueness will carry forward onto the same beaches of Survivor 46. The Emmy-winning reality stalwart has assembled one of its quirkiest casts ever, full of larger-than-life personalities ready to play a life-changing game. They come to Fiji from all over, spanning India to Guyana. Their occupations range from artists and actors to science and special education teachers, software engineers and aerospace techs to salon owners and musicians. But regardless of where they come from or what they do, their goal is shared: Get to the end of the game, and leave with the title of Sole Survivor and the million-dollar prize to boot.
