Meet The Men Of "Survivor: Cagayan": PHOTOS
Reality television mainstay Survivor returns to CBS tonight. Before you even have time to ask how this show is possibly still on the air, someone will be eliminated from the tribe.
This season, known as Survivor: Cagayan, is looking to change up the tried-and-true tribe vs tribe formula by pitting Brains vs Beauties vs Brawn. (More astute observers will ask, wasn't that always the concept, really?) Now, quite literally, contestants will be categorized based on their skill sets and forced to compete alongside similarly composed teammates.
All that game-changing is well and good, but let's get to the real reason why you clicked on this story. Check out the men of Survivor: Cagayan, below:
