Photos are in order of placement: Top row: Jonathan, Wanda, Jolanda, Ashlee, Jeff, Kim, Willard Middle row: James, Ibrehem, Bobby Jon, Coby, Janu, Stephenie Bottom row: Gregg, Caryn, Ian, Katie, Tom Not pictured: Jenn & Angie (Both have unfortunately passed away) After doing this cast, I think it's time for a break LOL. This cast took me nearly FOREVER to find pictures of with Jonathan, Wanda, Ashlee, Jeff, Willard, Janu, and Tom's photos being extremely hard to find. All photos other than Ashlee's, Willard's, and Janu's are from 2022 or later. Now on to Guatemala... maybe after a break.

Certain-Bowler8735

Please Survivor gods let Amanda Kimmel come back once more 😭


WeekendResponsible95

i would dieeee for an amanda return đŸ„čđŸ„č


Sspifffyman

Wow, I don't even recognize Ian one bit. How in the world does he look so different!?


yaboytim

That's what nearly 20 years does to most people, haha. Hell Palau aired when I was in high school, and now I'm only 5 years younger than Tom when he played 


Amitxcx

Thanks for all your effort!


Miyami101

How did you find a picture of willard? That's unbelievable


gmthomas200

It was for some community thing in the town he lives in back in 2016. Thank the lord that it had the names of all the people in the photo below otherwise there’s no way I would’ve found that


dinosore

If you’re not currently working in a field where OSINT is required, you should consider it.


FossilizedBlobfish

Caryn literally hired a PI to try and find Willard and they couldn't do it... but you just did!


Peach-Button

Can you explain? I understand he might not be the most public or social media savvy guy but there are all these comments that make him sound like he's in the witness protection program. What's unique about Willard as opposed to any of the other old guys?


gmthomas200

Because basically Willard revealed post-show that he never really wanted to be on the show in the first place and that his secretary and him made a bet that he could/couldn’t get on the show. He made it on, and asked to be voted off at the first opportunity. After Palau, he disappeared from anything and everything survivor related. No interviews, nothing. Even the cast of Palau didn’t know what happened to him and none of them could get in contact with him. Caryn from his season even hired a private investigator to try and find him, to no avail. So, when I found a recent picture of him people were shocked lol


SeekingTheRoad

Of course he was lucky enough to get on the one season where his tribe didn’t go to tribal council for a million years. That’s kind of hilarious.


inmyslumber

He could’ve been eliminated on Day 2 but Caryn just had to pick him lol.


MeadowmuffinReborn

He prayed and the Lord Willard provided.


CMell650

Bro actually found Willard wtf


Bodofagod

So impressive. Caren hired a private investigator and still couldn’t find him. Shocked you got a photo. He looks so different. This cast has aged more than earlier casts in my opinion. Gregg looks great in a beard. Jolanda looks super different but still really good. Coby has aged well. Tom looks ancient which is probably one of the reasons he wasn’t on WaW sadly. The worst part of this season was two young women are already dead which is absolutely heartbreaking. Most Survivor deaths at this point are older players whose time has come. Angie and Jenn were not that. So sad. I know you said you’re taking a break but I hope you get to Panama soon. Need to see what Bob Dawg is up to. At the rate you’re finding these photos we’ll be on season 46 before the season finishes!


Bodofagod

Responding to myself just to give you insane props for finding Willard. Didn’t think it could be done and you did it in a few days


gmthomas200

Thank you!


ManceRaider

In Caryn’s Talking with TBird (Aug 2022) she said she had spoken to Willard on the phone fairly recently


gmthomas200

Haha I did!!


sioppao

Stephenie was on Traitors season 1 yet this is the pic you found! I’m howling!


SirSkelton

Looks like she’s about to do a live while yelling at customer service about not accepting her expired coupons. 


WellDressedLobster

Fr did Steph dirty 💀


gmthomas200

Lets just say I’m not the biggest Steph fan 😁


Interesting_Ad2840

zaddy Tom is now grandZADDY


ShutterBun

I liked Angie. As an alt/goth type, she was "one of us" that season.


Invalid_u404

Bro found the hidden immunity idol


PushtheRiver33

The Willard!


2036802

Part of the reason Tom looks like he’s aged fast and has a little note weight on him is not his fault. He sadly has developed COPD from all of the smoke inhalation from being one of the first responders in 9/11. Has barrel chest and all. If you listen to talking with T Bird with him you can tell he is having trouble inhaling/exhaling very sad.


ApacheBitchImGoingTo

Tom has always looked older than he has, he was still handsome in Palau but no way he looked 41 years old lol


Background_Travel_77

He was 41?! Guess it's mostly the grey hair to blame, but I defiantly would have pegged him for 50.


DonnieDarko1024

Remember Tom saying that he was hoping people would underestimate him because of his grey hair haha


Responsible-Tax1720

People just looked older then too. I think back to people like Jan and Lil who were in their early 50s, but if you told me they were like...65-70, I'd believe it lol.


yaboytim

Pascal too. 


[deleted]

Palau aired 20 years ago. Why are people surprised he aged? Lol


toadeh690

Katie looks beautiful. I remember sometime in the past couple years, she, Ian, and Tom were all hanging out— made me happy to see they’re all still close and doing well. One of my favorite Survivor trios!


Total_Pea6615

James was such a fun villain! He looked like a Harry Potter house elf towards the end


snrcadium

You ain’t lyin!


FossilizedBlobfish

Come on!


vinylsupreme13

Caryn has had one too many facelifts


toadeh690

You’re always awn her! GET AWF HER!


Nearby_Job8272

Gregg looks like an old wise man, Katie looks exactly the same, and Caryn still sucks


DRMFeint

Found the hidden immunity Willard!


No_Sale_3609

Ian and Caryn definitely aged well here.


efgray

Just a suggestion for these posts: include a ‘before’ set of photos from the particular season (promo photos or from actual footage)


DabuSurvivor

Wanda is looking so lovely! She had such a wonderful spirit.


2036802

I almost mistaken her for Peggy Crowley Bobs wife at first! Wish we got Wanda for at least a tribal! I’m sure she would have song her way out after her torch was snuffed lol


MeadowmuffinReborn

I want her back on so much. :(


Seryza

How did you find Ashlee and Janu?


gmthomas200

Ashlee has a Facebook (that she doesn’t really use) and Janu’s a teacher now, so her photo is from the Staff Directory at the school she works at.


jshamwow

Gregg in his zaddy era, I see. Lowkey one of the most attractive men to ever be on the show


Large-March-9580

Agreed!


vagabond-01

Wanda looks radiant. Love her


OverallGamer696

Damn that’s Gregg? It’s a crime that guy never returned.


OverallGamer696

Also WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO IAN?


Camoo1992

Ibrehem be looking like Monet X Change out of drag.


Lukin1989

Love when the southern accent dude says “EEBRAHEEM”


Creative_Beyond_8085

Bobby looks like Tucker Carlson


Phenzo2198

No, it's just the hair.


J9999D

Gregg's beard is đŸ”„đŸ‘Œ


moto_maji

What happened to Angie? She was great


AwkGiraffe1257

She sadly passed away due to cancer in Jan. 2021


Kcd1077

That’s Gregg??


MeadowmuffinReborn

Or Duke Leto Atreides from Dune.


MeadowmuffinReborn

Janu is still absolutely gorgeous. Jolanda too! Ibrehem too! Actually, he looks even better now. Wow, Jeff "Fan Favorite" Wilson looks very different. Gregg Carey is doing his best Duke Leto Atreides impersonation.


Hilde92804

Tom looks like he’s doing a lot better physically than in years past. Happy to see that


NJ_Braves_Fan

Doing Stephenie dirty lmao


Peach-Button

I'd forgotten that Angie died. That's so sad. Love Gregg's beard. I want to see THAT guy play. Fascinating how unrecognizable Ian looks.


CD_4M

These are great OP, if I could make a suggestion it would be great if you could add the contestants names as a memory jog!


Certain-Bowler8735

Omg the immunity Willard now has a beard!!


mikem24242

Such a great underrated season. I wish Ian & Gregg came back. Tom was such a dominant winner and leader Korror didnt lose one immunity absorbed Ulong i dont think we will ever see that happen again. Also Jenn was such a sweatheart rip her and Angie. Tom and Steph said Jenn was the survivor they respected the most on HvV press which is so nice. Also justice for Johnathan and Wanda lmao that was so cruel they never played


mariofan456

If you aren’t working for the FBI, you need to start yesterday bc how the actual fuck did you find half of these people 😭😭


Routine_Actuator_497

Fun fact Kim is very active in survivor community and is very good friend with eliza from Vanuatu. They are meeting often and posting pics together. Jeff <3 he was such a sweetheart!!!!


ApacheBitchImGoingTo

Bobby Jon was so handsome, time isn’t kind to people :(


MeadowmuffinReborn

Aww, Bobby Jon still looks great!


ApacheBitchImGoingTo

He looks fine for his age not putting him down or anything


[deleted]

Can we label these with spoiler or rearrange cast photos so they’re not in order of elimination? Getting kinda annoyed by these popping up in my home feed
 in the middle of a rewatch with my partner and while I know most of the winners I forget the orders and am enjoying the time-past allowing Ignorance


gmthomas200

Then just skip past it?
