"Survivor" returns Sept. 18 with a  twist -- or at least a question: Can love survive "Survivor?" The new cast has just been announced, and it includes spouses, betrothed, and various family members with various filial relations also on board.

"Blood Vs. Water:" What else should it be called?

(Also back next season -- "Redemption Island," where ejectees nurse their wounds and plot their comebacks.)

Jeff Probst actually announced the twist during a radio program in the spring, but the names were not revealed then. These include Rupert Boneham, who's made something of a career of "S" returns -- while the other half comprises of their spouses, lovers, or family members. For example: Colton Cumbie of "One World" is back ... with his fiance, Caleb Bankston. And another surprise: Former "Big Brother" winner Hayden Moss is on the new edition too, in something of a rare cross-polination for two of TV's genesis reality series that bowed so many years ago...

 And Gervase Peterson is here; who remembers Gervase? From the memorable first season, of course. He's here with his niece...
