The reality television series has catapulted several people to global stardom. There have also been instances of big names participating in the show due to its popularity. Actor and filmmaker Mike White, who won an Emmy Award for his show The White Lotus, had jumped in as a contestant on Survivor: David vs Goliath and ended up as the runner-up.

Survivor 43 includes people from different walks of life, from a pet cremator, a graduate from Stanford University, a teacher, a pediatric nurse, and a designer.

This is in adherence to the network's 50% diversity mandate, which was implemented in 2020. This ensures that half of its reality TV cast must be Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC).

Read on to find out where you can follow the celebrity contestants appearing on Survivor 43.
