“Survivor: Philippines”
is welcoming three returning players to the cast, all of whom were
medically evacuated in the sixth episode of their previous seasons, for a
shot at redemption.
EW reveals that Jonathan Penner, Michael Skupin and Russell Swan are the returning castaways that round out the cast of 18, divided into three tribes this time.
Skupin,
now 50 years old, was last seen on “Survivor: Australia” back in 2001.
He famously fell into the fire pit and he to be airlifted out of the
campsite. Penner, also 50 years old, has played in two previous
“Survivor” seasons. He finished seventh on “Survivor: Cook Islands,” but
when he was brought back for “Fans vs. Favorites,” he was medically
removed when a cut on his knee became infected.
Swan, 45, had
perhaps the scariest medical emergency, as severe dehydration during
“Survivor: Samoa” caused his eyes to roll back in his head as he passed
out, and then sat there glassy-eyed as they waited for the medics.
