Survivor Cambodia Cast: Verified Profiles and Season Context
This evergreen guide profiles the full Survivor: Cambodia cast, providing verified details about each contestant, their tribe placements, and key moments from the 2015 season. Survivor: Worlds Apart aired after this season, but Survivor: Cambodia (originally streamed as Survivor: Second Chance) remains a fan favorite for its strategic depth and memorable players. Below you’ll find concise, sourced overviews, tribe rosters, and a performance table to clarify who played when, who achieved what, and how the season unfolded.
About Survivor: Cambodia and Its Cast
Survivor: Cambodia — Second Chance (the subtitle used in some regions) featured 18 returning players divided into three tribes based on their original seasons: Angkor (Fans), Ta Keo ( Favorites), and Bayon (Fans vs. Favorites). The season emphasized legacy moves, cross-tribal history, and long-game strategy. The cast competed for the title of Sole Survivor, with the winner determined by a jury vote at the live finale. This overview lists each player, their original season, tribe allocation in Cambodia, and notable outcomes, drawing on publicly available broadcast and official sources.
Season Format and Tribe Structure
Cambodia reintroduced the Fans vs. Favorites format with a twist: each tribe contained a mix of original Fans and Favorites, plus one player with a prior Survivor experience returning as a loved one contestant in a later season. The tribes were:
- Angkor (Fans): Fans who had not previously made it far.
- Ta Keo (Favorites): Well-known players given another chance.
- Bayon (Fans vs. Favorites): A mixed tribe emphasizing early unpredictability.
Not all players stayed on their initial tribe; multiple tribe switches occurred, reshaping alliances and rivalries. The expanded cast and tribe dynamics made Cambodia one of the more socially intricate seasons in the franchise’s modern era.
