In addition to Survivor's second-ever amputee, Survivor: Nicaragua's cast also includes former NFL coach Jimmy Johnson -- who will be the show's second-oldest contestant ever (trailing only original Survivor castaway Rudy Boesch) and had been reported to be part of the cast last month.
Survivor: Nicaragua -- the 21st edition of the long-running reality series -- will premiere Wednesday, September 15 at 8PM ET/PT and finished filming in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua last month.
Similar to Survivor's last two seasons which were filmed back-to-back in Samoa, next spring's 22nd edition will also film at the location this summer.
Survivor: Panama, the show's twelfth edition, previously divided castaways by age but featured four tribes -- younger men, younger women, older men, and older women. However the divisions proved to be short-lived when the four tribes were merged into two via a "schoolyard pick" that occurred during the Spring 2006 season's second episode.
The ten members of the older Espada tribe are:
- Jill Behm, a 43-year-old ER doctor from Erie, PA
- Jane Bright, a 56-year-old dog trainer from Jackson Springs, NC
- Tyrone Davis, a 42-year-old fire captain from Inglewood, CA
- Wendy DeSmidt-Kohloff, a 48-year-old goat rancher from Fromberg, MT
- Holly Hoffman, a 44-year-old swim coach from Eureka, SD
- Jimmy Johnson, a 67-year-old former NFL coach and sports broadcaster from Islamorada, FL
- Dan Lembo, a 63-year-old real estate executive from Watermill, NY
- Marty Piombo, a 48-year-old technology executive from Mill Valley, CA
- Yve Rojas, a 41-year-old homemaker from Kansas City, MO
- James "Jimmy T" Tarantino, a 48-year-old fisherman from Gloucester, MA
The ten members of the younger La Flor tribe are:
- Jud Birza, a 21-year-old student from Venice, CA
- Kelly Bruno, a 26-year-old medical student from Durham, NC who lost her right leg to a birth defect as an infant
- Shannon Elkins, a 30-year-old pest control company owner from Lafayette, LA
- Ben "Benry" Henry, a 24-year-old club promoter from Los Angeles, CA
- Matthew "Sash" Lenahan, a 30-year-old real estate broker from New York, NY
- Brenda Lowe, a 27-year-old paddleboard company owner from Miami, FL
- NaOnka Mixon, a 27-year-old physical education teacher from Los Angeles, CA
