Over the course of three months, America acquired 16 best friends in the forms of the castaways and one excellent target for long-range missile strikes in the form of host Jeff Probst. The castaways, drawn from a broad cross-section of society, connected with the audience on many levels. We all turned an eye inward on our own humanity while we fixed our eyes outward on the exploits of 16 strangers on an uninhabited island in the South China Sea.

Jeff Probst, of VH-1's "Rock & Roll Jeopardy," will serve as the host of this island odyssey, whose motto is "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast." In mid-March, sixteen castaways (eight men, eight women) were dropped on an uninhabited island in the South China Sea. They must build their own shelter and gather their own food.
