"Survivor" fans pick next season of castaways from pool of former contestants
In a first for the 30-seasons-and-running "Survivor" series, viewers got to decide which castaways are getting shipped out to battle for the $1 million prize.
The viewer-chosen cast was announced by perennial host Jeff Probst on the Wednesday night finale and reunion special of "Survivor: Worlds Apart," in which Texas oil-driller Mike Halloway was named season 30's winner.
Voting opened to the public on May 6 to select 20 contestants from a pool of 32 former castaways hoping to try again on "Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance," the show's 31st season, which will premiere this fall.
Among the 10 men and 10 women who boarded a bus to begin their journey to Cambodia Wednesday for "Second Chance" are season 1's Kelly Wiglesworth, and season 30's Shirin Oskooi and Joe Anglim on the heels of their last castaway challenge.
