(EW.com) -- A 1980s sitcom star and a major league baseball MVP will join 13 other new players — as well as three returning ones — when "Survivor: Philippines" premieres on CBS with a special 90-minute episode at 8 p.m. ET on Sept. 19.

Lisa Whelchel, best known as Blair Warner from "The Facts of Life," will do something that preppy Blair never would have considered by volunteering to spend up to 39 days on a remote island.

A huge Survivor fan, Whelchel openly campaigned to be on the show, and calls the chance to outwit, outplay and outlast a dream come true. "I've watched it from the very first episode, and had Survivor parties with my family," Whelchel told EW on location before the game started. "A friend of mine said, 'Let's just film a little iPhone video of you and you can put it on your Twitter and ask all your followers to retweet it. And maybe they'll contact you and know you want to be on the show.' And that's what happened!"

Whelchel even has a strategy on how to deal with her famous past. "I'm not going to volunteer it, but at the same time, even though there are a lot of young people and I'm sure they have no idea who Blair Warner is, there are some older people and even if only one knows it certainly will get around, so I won't deny it."

But Whelchel is not the only famous face that will be new to the island this year. Former National League Most Valuable Player Jeff Kent — another longtime fan — will also be playing for the million dollars. And he plans to bring that same fiery competitiveness he was known for in baseball to the island. "I've got a chip on my shoulder," Kent said before the game began. "I hate to lose." Like Whelchel, Kent is keeping his fingers crossed that his fellow players will be unaware of his athletic accomplishments. "You know, there are not many tall white guys with mustaches walking around still these days. I'm hoping my reputation's not big enough that these people know who I am."
