Foxborough 'Survivor' Champion Competing Again

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A Foxborough former champion on CBS's hit reality show "Survivor" will try to out last the competition one more time. Jeremy Collins is one of 20 former winners competing in the show's 40th season "Winners at War." The new season premiers 8 p.m. Wednesday.

This is Collins third time appearing on "Survivor." He competed in Season 29, "Survivor San Juan del Sur, and in 2015, he took home the $1 million prize for season 31, "Survivor Cambodia: Second Chances."

Also back is the survivor power couple of "Boston" Rob, formerly of Canton, and Amber Mariano.

Collins in a pre-show interview with CBS said he's pretending Season 29 never happened and will add on to his winning strategy from 2015.

"Let's just throw out my Season 29 performance ... that never happened," Collins said. "I will look to add to my Season 31 game plan. I will keep my meat shields but I will add mind shields and social shields to give me a broader pool of players to align myself with. With this broader pool, I will continue with voting blocks and keep alliance paranoia on 100! I want to take it all in. I feel my last experience was a whirlwind and I forget a lot of experiences. This time I want to try and take some time to enjoy this last go-round."

Collins is a Cambridge firefighter. His wife Val is a sergeeant on the Foxborough Police Department. She also competed with him in Season 29.
