Survivor: Vanuatu -- Islands of Fire
Meet the 18 New Castaways
The identities of the 18 new castaways who will compete on Survivor: Vanuatu -- Islands of Fire were unveiled in August on CBS News' The Early Show. The castaways will compete in separate tribes of men versus women when the ninth installment of the hit series premieres Thursday, Sept. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Survivor: Vanuatu -- Islands of Fire takes place on the islands of Vanuatu, located in the remote waters of the South Pacific near the tumultuous "Ring Of Fire," a land of volcanoes and rituals where sorcery and black magic are a part of tribal life and the spirits of the dead are believed to have power over the living. More than 80 islands are home to more than 100 languages and a diverse group of tribes and clans whose history includes cannibalism.
