Survivor: Nicaragua Cast Revealed, Medallion of Power Introduced

at .

Yes, Super Bowl winning coach Jimmy Johnson really is coming on board Survivor this season.

The former Dallas Cowboys employee will be part of the Espada tribe, as Survivor: Nicaragua breaks up its contestants into old versus young. Will Johnson be voted out early, due to his status? Or kept around... due to his status?

"He's wealthy - or you certainly think he is," Jeff Probst said to E! News about Johnson's status on the show. "He's incredibly successful, so he has fame... He'll tell you, 'If I win, I'm giving it to charity.' He really wants adventure."

Probst also shared a few details about the upcoming season, which premieres on Wednesday, September 15. Due to the discrepancy in tribe ages, there won't be any "big physical challenges." But there will be a new twist: the Medallion of Power.

If the tribe that possesses this item chooses to use it, that team will receive an advantage in the challenge at hand.
