Everyone's favorite baseball villain, John Rocker, will reprise his role on the next season of the CBS reality show "Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water."

This season's cast will feature pairs instead of single players to compete for the $1 million prize. 

"Not really," he told Entertainment Weekly before filming began. "I see these folks that I'm getting ready to play this game with as very similar to the 13 years of professional baseball that I played, and the teammates that I played with. Some of my biggest supporters after that SI debacle were my current and past teammates."
