Perhaps the most mysterious of all islands, Easter Island is famous for its moai, colossal sculptures (averaging 14 feet tall, weighing 14 tons) of the human form, each carved out of volcanic rock by the Rapa Nui people. The island, halfway between Chile and Tahiti, was designated a United Nations World Heritage Site in 1995, and travelers and archaeologists alike continue to be fascinated by its mysterious statues. Why did the Rapa Nui make them? How many people were needed to transport the 800-plus giant statues around the island? Who and what do they symbolize? While many theories have been presented on the moai—they're representations of powerful chiefs or individuals, were placed by UFOs, are part of Atlantis, etc.—and the Rapa Nui themselves, their true origins and meaning are still unknown.
This will be the location of the next game in my series. Survivor: Easter Island. 18 Contestants will be pitted against each other to determine who can outplay, outwit and outlast all the rest.
I am looking for 18 contestants for my 2nd season
