Just days before filming began, MSN TV visited the newest contestants in Samoa as they embarked on their journey in Survivor: One World." This marks the 24th (yes 24!) ... moreseason of the reality competition series that has launched many others. We were there to speak to the 18 castaways, were able to watch the reveal of when they first meet each other and saw their reactions when (drumroll, please) Jeff Probst announced that it'd be a Boys vs. Girls season. There's a huge twist for the first challenge this season, and there will be no Redemption Island safety net this time around. We also got Jeff Probst to chime in on the contestants. Which castaway are you rooting for?
