Survivor: Vietnam

Survivor: Vietnam is the eighteenth season of Matt's Survivor Series. The season was filmed in Da Nang, Vietnam.

The sixteen contestants, referred to as "castaways", were originally split up into two tribes of eight. The tribe names were Lính and Quân Nhân, which mean "soldier" and "warrior" in Vietnamese respectively. The merged tribe was named by the ten castaways who made the merge. It was named Giao Chiến, which means "fight" in Vietnamese. After 39 days of competition, Savannah Everett was given the title of Sole Survivor, defeating her own mother, Amanda Page, in a unanimous 7-0 vote. Controversy surrounded the fairness of this season as estranged mother/daughter Savannah and Amanda were members of the cast this season. Many believe this was an advantage for the two, and with the two of them making the finals, the casting was even more criticized.

Julie Gallagher was also awarded the $100,000 Verizon Player of the Season prize, receiving 30% of the vote, while Sean "Stitch" Ross and Jessica Andrews came in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Notable castaways included Jessica Andrews, a former country singer, known for her No. 1 song, "Who I Am". Also, former University of Maryland head basketball coach, Gary Williams, was a member of the cast.

Gallagher and Ross returned to compete on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, where Gallagher was placed on the Heroes tribe and Ross on the Villains. They placed 19th and 14th respectively.

Everett returned to compete in Survivor: Battle of the Champions, a season consisting of the first twenty winners of Survivor. She was able to outlast all the others becoming the Sole Survivor and become the first player to have won Survivor twice.

Castaways
''The Total Votes is the number of votes a castaway has received during Tribal Councils where the castaway is eligible to be voted out of the game. It does not include the votes received during the final Tribal Council.''

The Game

 * Combined Reward and Immunity Challenge.
 * Devil's Island was not yet known to the castaways
 * There was no Reward Challenge due to the merge, therefore no one was sent to Devil's Island.
 * The hidden immunity idol was null after Day 36, therefore Devil's Island was discontinued.
