Three former Survivor contestants who were forced into leaving the game early due to medical issues will be returning for the 25th season of Survivor [CBS will release their names at a later date]. Survivor: Philippines will premiere on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 8pm ET/PT on CBS with a special 90 minute episode, with a former MLB player and an ’80s TV star as part of the cast.
 
CBS also confirmed that for the first time in eight years, the contestants will be trying to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other after being divided into not two but three tribes. The Survivor: Philippines cast will be placed into one of three tribes – Kalabaw (“Water Buffalo”), Tandang (“Rooster”) and Matsing (“Monkey”) – with two of the three tribes granted immunity at each challenge.
