The rumor has been confirmed.

Kansasville-resident, Leann Slaby (Needles was her married name), is one of the 18 castaways to be on Survivor 9 on the Island of Vanuatu. The reality show will air at 7 p.m. Sept. 16 on CBS. The names of the castaways were revealed during the CBS Morning Show on Tuesday.

Wait- Kansasville? Is that town even on the map? Just foolin’, we know where Kansasville is, but does the rest of the world?

They will soon as the nation tunes in to watch the show. Slaby, a research assistant at an investment firm in Milwaukee, must survive 39 days battling the elements. She also needs to get along with people who have names like Dolly, a sheep farmer from Pennsylvania; Twila, who is in highway repair and from Montana; and John Kenny, a mechanical bull rider from Los Angeles, California. The 18 castaways will be divided into two groups of nine pitting the men against the women.
