Survivor returns for season 29 with the familiar “Blood vs. Water” theme in which pairs of loved ones compete, though unlike Survivor: Blood vs. Water, new players will be featured instead of returning castaways. San Juan del Sur sets the stage for this year’s competition where nine pairs of loved ones attempt to outwit each other to become the ultimate Survivor and winner of the $1 million dollar cash prize. The question is: Will these loved ones play together or against each other?
