{alltv} 'Survivor: South Pacific' cast announced - who is returning for redemption?

"Survivor: South Pacific" has announced 16 of its 18 castaways for the upcoming 23rd season of the reality competition show. The last two castaways will be revealed later this week - like last season, two former castaways are seeking redemption.

Fingers crossed for Coach vs. Phillip, y'all.

The 18 castaways are divided into two Tribes already - Savaii and Upolu, which are two of the islands of Samoa. The Redemption Island twist is also still part of the game, which will give everyone a chance to return to the game after being voted out.
