Jeremy Collins

Jeremy made the most of his coup Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chance, get back into the game and win just a year after his 10th place Survivor: San Juan del Sur. At that time he was remembered when, while visiting famous “beloveds”, he learned that his wife, Wallhe was having a boy—a fact he didn’t reveal to his fellow tribesmen until the final Tribal Council.

He won the game unanimously and returned for the season 40, Survivor: Winners at Warwhere he played with Boston Rob and later winner Tony. Coming in eighth place out of 20 contestants in the winner-takes-all season, Jeremy fell victim to Tony’s blindside. At the final Tribal Council, he called out Tony for his betrayal and gave his vote to the latter Natalie Anderson instead.

Rob Mariano

Off host Jeff Probstperhaps no one is more closely related Survivors than Boston Rob. As a player in five seasons and a mentor in another, Rob won Survivors on its fourth circumnavigation, Survivor: Redemption Island in 2011 before others Survivors graduates from this season Traitors he even made it to the show for the first time.

His only experience came playing with Tony and Jeremy Victors in warbut it didn’t last long as he was voted out on the 14th. He voted for Tony to win the game at the last Tribal Council.

Tony Vlachos

One of only two players ever to win Survivors twice (Sandra being the other), Tony is widely regarded as one of the best players in the Survivors history. In its first season, Survivor: Cagayan — Brawn Vs. Brains vs. Beautycreated the now legendary Cops-R-Us alliance Sarah Lacina.

Known for his aggressive and sometimes reckless play, Tony was so successful Survivors due to his strategic interventions, ability to recover from his mistakes, and eavesdropping from his spy hut (or bunker or nest).

Traitors isn’t necessarily a good fit for a secret eavesdropping spot, but his observational ability should help him detect threats to his game.

Tony compared himself to Boston Rob in the past, which could make him either an ally or an enemy at the castle. We’ll also have to see if he and Jeremy patch things up.

Carolyn Wiger

Carolyn is the only ex Survivors player on Traitors season 3, who did not compete with anyone else in the cast. She placed third Survivor 44, she quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her eccentric personality and touching story of a recovering addict. As a player, she wore her emotions on her sleeve, which could either rub off on the other competitors in the castle or get her further because she doesn’t have to be seen as a threat.

On SurvivorsCarolyn will also remember her friendship with Carson Garrettfourth in a season that is 15 years younger. Since then, the two have remained close and now host a Survivors podcast together.
