Survivor: All-Stars

Survivor: All-Stars is the eighth season of Matt's Survivor Series. It premiered on July 28, 2013 and was filmed in Frome, Jamaica, the same as the previous season.

This season was different from all the others as it featured 18 returning contestants to compete again for the 1 million dollar prize. Also, for the first time, there were three tribes instead of the normal two. After 39 days of competition, Abby Damon won the the grand prize and title of sole survivor, beating out Ryder Michaelson in a 4-3 vote.

At the end of the season, instead of the Verizon Player of the Season prize, America voted for different categories on the past eight seasons of Survivor. It was called America's Tribal Council. One of the categories was favorite all-star, who would win $1,000,000, the same as the winner. In the end, with 47% of the public vote, TJ Jacks won the prize.

Michaelson, Jacks, and Mackenzie Simmons returned again to compete on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, where Michaelson was placed on the Villains tribe and Jacks and Simmons on the Heroes. They placed 17th, 8th, and 3rd respectively.

Damon, Tucker Powell, Jax Hall, Kelli Princeton, and Erika Chapman all returned again to compete in Survivor: Battle of the Champions, a season consisting of the first twenty winners of Survivor. They placed 11th, 13th, 7th, 14th, and 9th respectively.

Michaelson returned again to compete on Survivor: Reclamation, where he was able to outlast the rest of the castaways and become the Sole Survivor.
