Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 Cast: Dr. Will, Parvati and More

Three former reality winners will headline the 14-person cast of Deal or No Deal Island season 2, which NBC announced on Thursday, October 10.

Dr. Will Kirby, winner of Big Brother 2 and fourth-place finisher on Big Brother All-Stars (season 7) will make his return to competitive reality TV as a player for the first time since 2006. Parvati Shallow, winner of Survivor: Micronesia, will join him, fresh off her appearance on The Traitors season 2.

They’ll have to contend with David Genat, winner of Australian Survivor: All-Stars, who will make his American reality debut. While some U.S. fans may not be familiar with Genat, many in the Survivor community view him as one of the greatest players in the franchise’s history.

Deal or No Deal Island is based on the hit game show Deal or No Deal, which originally ran on NBC from 2005 to 2009. In season 1, players competed to find briefcases scattered about the island totaling up to $200 million, eliminating each other along the way.

In addition to the contestants, models Ben Crofchick and Kamari Love will return as the banker’s assistants alongside host Joe Manganiello.

Jordan Fowler won the first season, which also featured Survivor legend Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano and model Claudia Jordan.

Dr. Will Kirby

Age: 51
Home: Los Angeles, CA

The Big Brother 2 winner helped shape competitive reality TV as we know it, developing the first alliance in Big Brother history and pioneering the strategy of throwing competitions and relying on one’s social game to carry yourself further. Dr. Will then returned for Big Brother All-Stars (season 7), where he placed fourth.

He has remained outspoken, watching Big Brother and other shows from the sidelines. He helped spark a feud on social media earlier this year when he said the Big Brother players who went on The Traitors realized they “never had it.” Big Brother legend and The Traitors season 2 cast member Janelle Pierzina fired back, accusing him of being “terrified of participating in another show.”

Now, Dr. Will will have a chance to prove he’s “still got it.”

Parvati Shallow

Age: 41
Home: Los Angeles, CA

Known as the Black Widow, Parvati has appeared on four seasons of Survivor, winning Survivor: Micronesia and placing second on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. She was selected as a traitor in the first episode of The Traitors season 2, lasting until her banishment in the eighth episode.

Similar to Genat, her combination of strategic chops, competition prowess and devious gameplay has made her widely regarded as one of the best Survivor players of all time. Survivor U.S. host Jeff Probst went as far as to name her the best winner ever, prior to Survivor: Winners at War (the all-winners season 40 in which she was the seventh player voted out).

David Genat

Age: 44
Home: Perth, Australia

The Australian Survivor: All-Stars winner pulled off his most famous move in his first season, Survivor: Champions vs. Contenders, when he managed to trick a player into trading him a real hidden immunity idol for a fake one. He also became the first player in Australian Survivor history to possess two hidden immunity idols at once.

His fellow players have dubbed him the Golden God, and like Will and Parvati, he excels in the arts of persuasion and manipulation. He can forge strong relationships and turn nearly any situation into a strategic advantage.

Alexis Lete

Age: 27
Home: Louisville, KY

Alexis has done it all. The six-foot former Division I volleyball player is also a former Miss Indiana and WWE wrestler who plans to use her confidence, brains and brawn to her advantage. Competitive and determined, she can make connections just as quickly as she can cut ties with those weighing down her game.

Courtney Kim

Age: 36
Home: Charlotte, NC

Also known as CK, Courtney is a professional poker player who has won two World Series of Poker championships. She thrives in high-stakes environments and plans to use a “reverse bluff strategy” to make it farther in the game.

Dickson Wong

Age: 24
Home: Wood River, IL

There’s nothing wrong with being a nerd, and Dickson wears that title proudly. He’s known in his hometown for his dedication to his community, energy and charm. With a love for competition shows, his likability and game knowledge could guide him toward a deep run.

La Shell Wooten

Age: 55
Home: Chapel Hill, NC

La Shell is a social worker with a master’s degree in human behavior, giving her a unique ability to figure out what makes someone tick. She hopes to gain her competitors’ trust while manipulating their emotions to take herself further in the game.

Luke Olejniczak

Age: 29
Home: Eagle River, WI

Luke is an “outdoorsman at heart” who should have no problem adapting to life on Deal or No Deal Island. He is highly calculated but unafraid of taking risks, and possesses two of the most crucial skills for a game like this: physical endurance and problem-solving ability.

Maria-Grace Cook

Age: 21
Home: Greer, SC

As the only woman firefighter on her shift, Maria-Grace says she’s had to work twice as hard to prove herself. Her age and profession have given her the physical strength and fitness to dominate competitions, while her experience as an EMT taught her to perform under pressure.

Phillip Solomon

Age: 37
Home: Austin, TX

A fitness instructor, middle school teacher and choreographer, Phillip prides himself on his ability to rise to any challenge. As one of the only minority students in a graduating class of 700, he’s not afraid to stand out and strives to be the best at everything he does.

Rock Carlson

Age: 65
Home: Henderson, NV

Rock is a father of three and grandfather of six with 26 years of experience as a correctional officer and parole agent. He prides himself on his ability to read people and diffuse tense situations, two qualities that could serve him well in a game of strategy.

Seychelle Cordero

Age: 31
Home: Staten Island, NY

Seychelle is a flight attendant who calls herself a “social chameleon,” which should serve her well on an island of strangers. She also binge-watched every season of Survivor, learning from the best — including Parvati.

Storm Wilson

Age: 25
Home: Austin, TX

Storm is a project manager who closes deals for a living. Combined with his competitive nature and athletic background, he could present a formidable challenge to the other players. Or, as he admits, he could be susceptible to a showmance that could derail his entire game.

Sydnee Peck

Age: 27
Home: Redondo Beach, CA

Sydnee became caretaker to her younger siblings at age 16, forcing her into independence at a young age. Now working on Wall Street, she plans to use her charm and analytical skills to outmaneuver her competition.
