“The great thing about Survivor is nobody is shooting at you, nobody’s firing rockets at you or mortars or anything like that.”

It’s pretty hard to believe that Survivor is in its 22nd season, and it’s even harder to believe that I’m still watching. As always, there are a couple of new wrinkles being introduced, one being that when people get voted out they go to live alone on an island, where they will duel with the next person who leaves to see who gets to stay. The other is that two former castaways unexpectedly return this season to shake things up.

Survivor: Redemption Island premieres on Wednesday, Feb. 16th.
