CBS has revealed who some of the new castaways on Survivor: San Juan del Sur will be, and we can already sniff the impending drama like a hunk of chum floating in the ocean.

As with the previous "Blood vs. Water" season, couples will compete for the million dollars, rather than single players. EW revealed that one of those twosomes is Broadway boyfriends Reed Kelly (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) and Josh Canfield (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812),

While we're sure both guys will bring their theatricality and athleticism to the show, Kelly compared Canfield to another Survivor alum, Facts of Life star Lisa Whelchel. "The way she carried herself in the game was from such an honest place and a place of faith, which is very Josh.”

But the boys will be sharing the island with former relief pitcher John Rocker, who famously declared in 1999 that he'd never play ball for New York because "it’s the most hectic, nerve-racking city—imagine having to take the 7 train to the ballpark looking like you’re [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids."

Of course Rocker also complained about "Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there,” in the same interview so we doubt he'll be forging many alliances.

Survivor: San Juan del Sur premieres September 24 at 8pm on CBS.
