The 39th season of CBS's "Survivor" premieres tonight, September 25th, themed "Island of the Idols." 20 castaways will compete against each other in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, with the guidance of two legendary winners. Boston Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine return to serve as mentors and share their knowledge with the castaways.

 

In this edition, CBS announced "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," according to a press release, "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."
