'Survivor 34' Cast: Can Tony Vlachos Replicate His Success In 'Game Changers'? [POLL, VIDEO]
Tony Vlachos is one of the biggest threats heading into Survivor: Game Changers, and he is very aware of this.
Tony is one of three winners competing on the upcoming 34th season of Survivor, subtitled Game Changers. As such, he has a huge reputation not only for being a winner but also for his aggressive gameplay style. His Survivor: Cagayan win was celebrated by many fans, but others were shocked to see a villainous type of player defy the odds and win despite betraying many people on the jury.
Based on the various pregame interviews so far it sounds like many of Tony's fellow Game Changers castmates are concerned about him, so how does he intend on doing well this season?
"Going into the game this time around, with all the players knowing my game style, I know that I'm going to be a huge threat. Having said that, I know I will have to take it down a few notches until I can plant my roots," Tony says in his CBS bio. "Knowing myself, I won't be able to take it down any notches and will be in trouble. I hope I have what it takes to adapt right away and "go with the flow"-if that's even possible for me to do."
Either way, the New Jersey cop has his "fingers crossed for sure" considering he has an uphill battle ahead of him.
It's been a few years since Tony played but don't expect a huge change in his personality.
"I'm older and much wiser. Just kidding. I'm older, but definitely not wiser," he quipped. "You will see the same guy in this season as you saw in 'Cagayan'."
Tony will be joined by one other Cagayan castaway in Game Changers -- Sarah Lacina. Tony and Sarah certainly had an interesting relationship in their original season, with the pair not trusting each other despite both being police officers. Tony eventually helped blindside Sarah right after the merge, so will Sarah be looking for revenge in Game Changers, or will their Cagayan bond be enough to draw them together?
Survivor: Game Changers - Mamanuca Islands premieres Wednesday, March 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
