World domination

It seems like just yesterday that Sophie was winning Survivor: South Pacific and yet here we are again with the announcement for the cast of Survivor: One World. Below is a pic of the new tribemates.

But along with these new contestants come several new changes and twists to the game itself. Here are the highlights:

-As was announced at the end of last season, while there will be two tribes, everyone will be living at the same camp. Contestants will have to decide how much they want to co-mingle with members of the other tribe

-The tribes will be seperated by sexes again this year

-Redemption Island is gone (thank heaven!). This means more reward challenges and once your torch is snuffed, you're done.

-Two hidden immunity idols will be in play, but the twist this time is that if you find one, you have to give it to someone on the other tribe. This could make for some very interesting new strategies and alliances.

-There will be a handful of host-less challenges this season where the tribes will be giving instruction and supplies and left to run the challenge themselves. That will either be really interesting or an unmitigated disaster.

-Finally, some of the notable castaways this season include Survivor's first little person, a gay Republican, and two guys who have a fascination with Tarzan.
