''Survivor'' is an American reality television show, based on the Swedish program, ''Expedition Robinson''. Contestants are referred to as "castaways", and they compete against one another to become the "Sole Survivor" and win one million U.S. dollars. First airing in 2000, there have been a total of thirty seasons, which have been filmed on five different continents. The current season, ''Survivor: Cambodia'', premiered on September 23, 2015. Contestants usually apply to be on the show, but the series has been known to recruit contestants for various seasons. For ''Survivor: Fiji'', the producers had hoped to have a more racially diverse cast, and hoped that a more diverse group would apply after the success of the racially segregated ''Survivor: Cook Islands''. When this did not happen, the producers turned to recruiting and in the end, only one contestant had actually submitted an application to be on the show. For the most part, contestants are virtually unknown prior to their ''Survivor'' appearance, but occasionally some well-known people are cast. A total of 460 participants have competed, and 79 of them have competed in multiple seasons: 63 of them competed in two seasons, 14 competed three times, and two competed four times. So far, there have been nine seasons which featured returning players: In 2004, an ''All-Stars'' edition aired, with the cast being eighteen past competitors; in 2005, as part of a surprise twist, two past contestants from ''Survivor: Palau'' competed again in ''Survivor: Guatemala''; in 2008, ''Survivor: Micronesia'' featured a tribe of ten returning contestants against a tribe of ten new contestants; in 2010, ''Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains'' featured 20 returning contestants, including nine that were competing for the third time; and in 2011, two past castaways returned for ''Survivor: Redemption Island'' and two other past castaways returned for ''Survivor: South Pacific''. In 2012, three past castaways who were medically evacuated from their previous seasons returned for ''Survivor: Philippines''. In 2013, ten returning castaways competed for a second time against ten new castaways in ''Survivor: Caramoan'' and ten more castaways returned for ''Survivor: Blood vs. Water'' alongside a loved one. In 2015, 20 more returning castaways competed in ''Survivor: Cambodia'', selected by a public vote from a pool of 32 past contestants. In several seasons, contestants have been cast but ultimately withdrew before the game began: a 20th contestant was originally cast in ''Survivor: Fiji'', but dropped out and returned home the night before the show began because of panic attacks, while in ''Survivor: San Juan del Sur'', the 19th and 20th contestants, a related couple, were removed just before filming due to a medical emergency. In both cases, the removed contestants were unreplaced. ''Fiji'' and ''San Juan del Sur'' proceeded with an uneven gender balance. ==Contestants== All information is accurate as of the time the season was filmed, and thus may vary from season to season for returning players. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Survivor (U.S. TV series) contestants」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
