Survivor 39: Island of the Idols

This edition features two legendary winners, Boston Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine, who return to the game to serve as mentors to a group of 20 new castaways.

Combined, Boston Rob and Sandra have played over 200 days of Survivor and plan to share their knowledge with the new castaways, but for the first time, they won't be competing for the money.

During the 39 days, some castaways will have the opportunity to visit the Island of the Idols to learn skills and strategy from these "idols."

Each player, selected to visit the special island in various ways throughout the season, will have to decide if they should put their knowledge to the test for a chance at a possible advantage in the game, or risk losing something very important in the process.

Those who can rise up to the challenge will possibly gain an advantage and continue their individual quest for $1- million and the title of Sole Survivor.

These new castaways will be forced to compete against each other with the same ultimate goal: to outwit, outplay and outlast each other, and in the end only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor.

The show films in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji.

In the Season 39 premiere, "I Vote You Out and That's It": One castaway gets fired up when learning a lesson on the Island of the Idols, where Boston Rob and Sandra Diaz serve as mentors in an all-new twist.

Also, castaways question whether likeability will prove to be a liability.
