Survivor: Brazil

Survivor: Brazil is the nineteenth season of Matt's Survivor Series. The season was filmed in Manaus, Brazil.

The twenty contestants, referred to as "castaways", were originally split up into two tribes of ten. The tribe names were Palikur and Tariana, names of indigenous tribes in Brazil. The merged tribe was named by the twelve castaways who made the merge. It was named Obrigado, which means "thank you" in Portuguese. After 39 days of competition, Jen Keetley was given the title of Sole Survivor, defeating Mason Cullen and Cameron Brent, in a 6-3-0 vote.

Javier Melendez was also awarded the $100,000 Verizon Player of the Season prize, receiving 47% of the vote, while Mason Cullen and Caroline O'Hara came in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Cullen returned to compete on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, where he was placed on the Villains tribe. He placed 7th.

Keetley returned to compete in Survivor: Battle of the Champions, a season consisting of the first twenty winners of Survivor. She placed 10th.

Cullen returned again to compete on Survivor: Reclamation, where he placed 15th.
