Sixteen castaways left stranded in the majestic but rugged interior of Brazil struggle to cope with oppressive heat, torrential downpours and dangerous animals and insects in the 18th season of this long-running reality competition series, which opens with the castaways divided into two separate tribes from the very beginning, forcing them to start playing the game based only on vague first impressions of one another. Emmy winner Jeff Probst returns as host.
