Two More Survivor Vets Return on Survivor: South Pacific

You asked for it, you got it (tongue in cheek) - Coach Benjamin Wade is back on "Survivor: South Pacific" making his third appearance on the popular reality show. He will be joined by popular veteran player, Ozzy Lusth, also making his third appearance. Neither one were winners in their seasons on Tocatins, Heroes vs. Villains nor Cook Islands or Micronesia Fans vs. Favorites respectively.

Although they will be pitted against each other on separate tribes, Coach and Ozzy do not share a rivalry history that Boston Rob and Russell Hantz did in their appearance on last season's "Survivor." But the one thing they do have in common is their social game sucks. Having to follow Hantz and Boston Rob will most likely make it even harder for the two vets to make it very far in the game. The only good thing about Coach returning is that "FBI Undercover Specialist" Phillip Sheppard will not be joining him. Veterans experience aside, if the newbies have any common sense and are true fans of the game then they already know how this should play out and the vets will be voted off at the first Tribal Council they appear at.

The two "Survivor" veterans will be joining 16 new outcasts who are divided into two tribes, the Savaii and the Upolu. Which tribe the vets join will be determined by breaking an egg filled with the color of one of the tribes.

Here's a quick look at how the two South Pacific Tribes are divided.
