"Survivor: Philippines" features three tribes and a handful of familiar faces. Not only are a trio of medically evacuated former players -- Michael Skupin, Russell Swan and Jonathan Penner --returning for a second chance at the game, but "Facts of Life" star Lisa Whelchel and hot-headed Major League Baseball second baseman Jeff Kent are among 15 new castaways competing for a million bucks.

"Survivor: Philippines" premieres on CBS Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m., with a special 90-minute episode.
