The 38th season of “Survivor” (CBS, 8 p.m.), subtitled “Edge of Extinction,” brings some of the edge back to the show, in part by partly starving its contestants. While there are 14 new faces involved, there are also four returning players to Fiji — Joe Anglim, Aubry Bracco, Kelley Wentworth and David Wright. And of course one familiar face: longtime host Jeff Probst. The big twist this time is an option upon elimination to re-enter the game through a stint at something called Extinction Island.
