The next season of CBS' "Survivor" series, which will hit TV screens in the fall, is set in the Philippines. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details and information on the popular wilderness-themed survival-of-the-fittest reality show, and the latest batch of rumors suggests an announcement may not be far off.

Earlier this summer, it was reported former Major League Baseball player Jeff Kent could appear as a cast member in season 25; however, CBS hasn't made an official announcement.

"Survivor 2012: Philippines" will premiere Sept. 19, and with less than a month left until the show airs, several rumors and spoilers have surfaced.

Survivor Fandom has rounded up a list of casting rumors and spoilers for the next season.

Survivor Philippines Tribes:

- Kalabaw

- Matsing

- Tandang

Survivor Philippines- Returning Players:

- Jonathan Penner- Cook Islands, Micronesia

- Russell Swan- Samoa

- Mike Skupin- Australian Outback

Survivor Philippines- Cast Rumors:

- Sarah Naomi Dawson (age not specified)

- Malcom Freberg (26)

- Abi-Maria Gomes (32)

- Katie Hanson (20)

- Jeff Kent (44)

- Zane Knight (28)

- Dana Lambert (32)

- Angelia Layton (20)

- Artis Lewis (53)

- Roxanne Morris (27)

- Roberta Saint-Armour (27)

- Denise Marie Stapley (41)

- Lisa Whelchel (49)

- Carter Williams (21)

- Pete Yurkowski (23)

It is important to remember that this information has not yet come officially from CBS, and therefore can only be considered speculation at this point. The tipster, known as "Missyae," is the same source that claimed in June Jeff Kent may join the "Survivor" cast.

The above spoilers were first published on Survivor Fever, where the names of these alleged cast members were listed along with  biographical details, including the players' occupation, location, physical description and age.

At the end of the previous season of "Survivor," host Jeff Probst said the series will feature returning players. Three tribes, with six castaways in each tribe, are also expected to participate in the "Survivor Philippines." Although this lines up with the casting rumors and alleged spoilers discovered last week, until CBS reveals more information, there is no way to know for sure.

Colton Cumbie, one of the notable personalities from the most recent series, seemed a likely addition to the competition in the Philippines, but is nowhere to be found on the casting rumors list.

That leaves viewers with one critical question: Which castaways should return?

As of now, it seems that the returning players will be Jonathan Penner, Russell Swan and and Mike Skupin, but fans may have to wait until next month to find out.
