Just like the 41st and 42nd installments, this season’s 26-day game “continues to evolve,” according to a CBS press release, as players “will be divided into three tribes of six and face a faster, more extreme season from the moment they step on the beach.”

As usual, the “moral dilemmas and unpredictable situations will test even the strongest competitor, as food is scarce, rewards and supplies are minimal, and the mental and physical challenges require players to make impossible decisions and adjust their strategies every day.”

Scroll down to meet the 18 castaways for season 43 of Survivor, which kicks off with a two-hour premiere on CBS Wednesday, September 21, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
