Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains is the twentieth season of Matt's Survivor Series. The season was filmed in Manaus, Brazil, same as the previous one.

To mark the 20th season, casting selected 20 all-star returning players to compete again for the $1 million prize. This marks the fourth season to feature returning players, and the second season, behind Survivor: All-Stars, to feature a cast of entirely returning players.

The twenty contestants were initially divided into two tribes based on their prior reputation in their previous seasons, Heroes or Villains. When ten players remained, the two tribes merged and named their new tribe "Yin Yang." After 39 days of competition, Connor "Buzz" Allen was given the title of Sole Survivor, defeating Carmine Davis and Mackenzie Simmons, in a 5-3-1 vote.

Mason Cullen was also awarded the $100,000 Verizon Player of the Season prize, receiving 40% of the vote, while Nikki Goldstein and Mackenzie Simmons came in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Allen, Lily Geoffrey, K.J. Zuckerman, Owen Willard, and Andrea Garcia returned again to compete in Survivor: Battle of the Champions, a season consisting of the first twenty winners of Survivor. They placed 2nd, 3rd, 17th, 12th, and 20th respectively.

Cullen and Ryder Michaelson returned to compete on Survivor: Reclamation, where Cullen placed 15th and Michaelson outlasted everyone and become the Sole Survivor.
