'Survivor -- Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty' Castaways Revealed
Eighteen castaways will compete on the 28th season of Survivor, which is themed "Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty." The groupings of these tribes, each comprised of six castaways, "reflect the distinguishing qualities that people bring to the game and test whether there is any truth to the pre-conceived notion that particular characteristics impact certain areas of the game," according to CBS.
