With the premiere only a few days away lets meet the cast. My family will be watching weekly and doing out typical ‘blind draft’*.
“This latest group of players must form a new society and nimbly adapt to their surroundings while contending with unforeseen obstacles and navigating an increasingly complex social game” CBS wrote in a press release.
