THE LATEST SEASON OF SURVIVOR ON JACKTV TEST’S THE LIMITS

Emmy Award-winning reality competition, Survivor is now on its 38th season. Themed “Edge of Extinction,” this season features 14 new castaways divided into two equal tribes, the Manu Tribe and the Kama Tribe. With four returning players taking a second shot at the game. The returning castaways are Joe Anglim (“Worlds Apart,” “Second Chance”), Aubry Bracco (“Kaoh Rong,” “Game Changers”), Kelley Wentworth (“Second Chance,” “San Juan del Sur”) and David Wright (“Millennials vs. Gen-X”).

A new twist to this season is the introduction of the island known as “Edge of Extinction,” which severely tests the will of the castaways to be the Sole Survivor and what they are willing to endure to make that happen. Those who can endure the emotionally and physically difficult challenge will be given a shot for one of them to get back in the game and continue their quest to be the ultimate winner.

“Survivor continues to reinvent itself with new energy, and this season we’ve added a new secret game-changing twist” said executive producer and host Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst. “After being voted out, players will be faced with a decision to either go home or go to the ‘Edge of Extinction,’ where they will be pushed further than ever before for a chance to get back in the game.”

These new and returning castaways will be forced to compete against each other with the same ultimate goal: to outwit, outplay and outlast each other, and in the end only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor. The show films in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, and is hosted by Jeff Probst.

Survivor: Edge of Extinction airs every Thursday via satellite at 3PM with a prime time telecast at 8PM exclusively on JackTV.

This year, I’m studying learning technologies abroad and I’m coming up of ways to translate everything that I’ve learned into projects that would make the educational system more progressive,” Rina Lopez-Bautista said.

“I’m after a more holistic approach, so I’m exploring all kinds of mediums, not only technology. We are so excited to partner with Fatty Brain Toys and incorporate our depth of experience in education and Philippine media into the toy industry,” she added.

“It’s a great honor to partner with Knowledge Channel. Together, we can provide Filipino children an array of learning resources that are proven to improve the cognitive development of kids. Fatty Brain Toys strongly believes that Knowledge Channel can help us reach more kids, schools and families in the Philippines looking for a more fun, creative and interactive forms of learning,” Miss Ng said.
