For 17 seasons Survivor has stuck to almost a carbon copy application with carbon copy rules. But after glancing through the application for season 18 something very interesting caught my eye. Normally applicants have to be 21 years or older to apply for the show. Only one player, Frosti who was 20, was ever below this age limit. Now it seems the application age has been lowered to mostly 18 except for a certain few states. Here is what it says in the actual application:

d. You must be at least 18 years of age, except that if you reside in one of the five
states listed below, you must be at least the following age:
Alabama: 19 years or older
District of Columbia: 21 years or older
Mississippi: 21 years or older
Nebraska: 19 years or older
Wyoming: 19 years or older

The question is why the change now and how will it affect the 18th season of the show? If you are now eligible and want to apply then click here for the Survivor 18 application.
