The Survivor casting announcement often includes such prototypes as a farmer, a model, a doctor, a mother hen, a computer nerd and a cocky athlete. And the upcoming season of Survivor: One World is no different.

What is different, however, is that for the first time in Survivor history, both tribes will be sharing the same beach, the network announced Wednesday. Crazy! They'll be allowed to share resources and form inter-tribe alliances — it's an interesting twist for a show that's been pretty stagnant of late (the upcoming will mark Survivor's 24th season).
