Ben- *Survivor: Champions v. Contenders* 4th- Ben had a great run in Season 3, but when his closest ally betrayed him and the numbers against him, he stood no chance.

Will Caroline play another big game, or will her ship be sunk early on?

Claire- *Survivor: South Pacific* 4th- No stranger to drama, Claire made many enemies in her time on *Survivor.* But she also played the best game that season, orchestrating the blindsides of many big players, earning her place in the Final 4.

Hannah- *Survivor: Champions v. Contenders* 5th- Having a powerful social game, Hannah maneuvered her way through *Champions v. Contenders* all the way to Day 46, despite starting on the complete bottom of her tribe. Hannah managed to make strong allies and fast friends, but due to her threat level and her minority status, she was eventually voted out. Will Hannah's spectacular social game get her to the Final Tribal Council, or will she come up short once again?

Harley- *Survivor: Samoa* 8th- Harley played a strong game his first go-round, but his abrasive personality and aggressive approach led to his elimination. Regarded as the first *Survivor* villain, Harley returns to finish what he started and earn the title of Sole Survivor. Will Harley win with his strong, villainous game? Or will the villain fall in the end?

Hunter- *Survivor: South Pacific* 10th- Hunter didn't playtime biggest game necessarily, but he is remembered for his arguments with fellow castaways, physical prowess, and showmance with Gracen (still going strong by the way). However, Hunter had an impeccable read on the game, and believes he can win. Will his reads be accurate with the *All-Stars* or will Hunter be a target?

Jacob- *Survivor: Samoa* 4th- Jacob captured the hearts of America with his heroic and loyal gameplay, but that same heroism and loyalty became his downfall, earning him 4th place.

Will his honest game have the same effect or will he be no match for his competition on *All-Stars*?

Madi- *Survivor: South Pacific* 3rd- Madi originally played a very loyal game in the beginning of her season, but once her allies were consecutively picked off at the merge, she used her social skills to become part of the majority alliance and became Claire's right-hand woman, getting her to the Final 3.

She was targeted for her flirty nature, physical capabilities, and devious agenda. Sophie has the distinction of becoming the first person to play an idol correctly, which was a shock to the players and viewers, alike. Sophie's strong game earns her the title of *All-Star*, but can she pull off another strong performance and win *All-Stars*?

Once she reached the merge, she finally found a solid alliance of women, along with Marcus, until they were all voted out consecutively. Taylor ultimately had the numbers to blindside Claire, but Claire's idol resulted in Taylor becoming the 6th jury member. Will Taylor be able to find her way to the top this time, or will she stay at the bottom until her eventual elimination?

### Game Summary

24 All-Stars touched down in Fiji to get another shot at the million dollars and the title of Sole Survivor, as well as to prove why they are the best *Survivor* player of all time. Some are heroes, villains, snakes, social players, challenge beasts, and some of the best strategists of all time. On the green Mokuta tribe, those who struggled in challenges were targeted, but others were trying to avoid the inevitable. Nicho, sensing he was on the outs, gathered numbers to save his ally Taylor, playing an idol and blindsiding *Samoa* fan-favorite Jacob, only for those same numbers to vote out Taylor next. On the yellow Vakama tribe, the big players were targeted first, resulting in Matt being voted out, becoming the first previous Sole Survivor to have his torch snuffed. Ben and Caroline formed a fast friendship, and Ben and Delaney a showmance, while *South Pacific* players Emery and Madi & *Champions v. Contenders* players Burke & Anna Kay reconnected. On Day 12, Mokuta went to Tribal Council, but a surprise Exile Beach twist saved Nicho and Hannah, who was targeted for her weak challenge performance and impeccable social game.

On Day 13, the tribes switched the 2 exiled Mokutas were split. On the new Vakama tribe, Greyson and Claire were targeted for being a tight but dysfunctional pair. Caroline, Delaney, and Makenzie, the final 3 of *Fiji*, were brought back together, pulling in Bryson, Nicho, Hunter, Anna Kay, and Sophie. The new Mokuta tribe reunited ex-best friends Susannah and Ben, current best friends Stephen and Sydney & Ben and Hannah. Sydney and Harley sparked up their rivalry again. On Day 17, both tribes went to Tribal Council where the 2 people voted out would face off in a fire-making challenge. Vakama voted Greyson out unanimously, and he lost to Sydney, who was blindsided by her tribe after Harley's hard pitch to vote her out. Seeking her revenge, the trio of Stephen, Sydney, and Susannah pulled in *Champions v. Contenders* trio Burke, Ben, and Hannah to vote out Harley, leaving Emery and Madi on the outs. Sophie, sensing her elimination, played her idol, resulting in Makenzie being blindsided with 2 voted against her, which led to the remnants of the Black Widow Brigade to be targeted. Caroline found her first idol, but she waited until her ally and winner Delaney was voted out in a split vote to use it to blindside Hunter. On Day 27, Ben decided to enact his revenge on Susannah, who betrayed him in their season, and she was voted out right before the merge, meaning Stephen was the only former Sole Survivor to reach the merge.

The tribes merged to form Kalo Kalo and there were multiple factions in this All-Star group. It seemed like the new tribes were the alliances. The *CvC* players of Nicho, Bryson, Burke, and Anna Kay, roped in Sophie to make an alliance, while Stephen, Sydney, Emery, and Madi formed an alliance of threats, leaving Caroline, Ben, and Hannah in the middle. While Ben and Hannah were tempted to join their old castmates, they decided to vote out Nicho and Bryson at the beginning of the merge. Another surprise Exile Beach twist led to 6 players being voted out and having to fight their way back into the game. Ben, Burke, and Sophie were voted out first, followed by Emery, Sydney, and Hannah after Anna Kay played her idol, fearing she wouldn't win. Ben and Emery won the first challenge, Burke won the second, and the three girls were left as the only options to be voted out. Sophie was voted out due to her minority-alliance status, leaving Burke and Anna Kay by themselves. The *Holy Trinity* trio of Ben, Hannah, and Caroline decided it was time to make the move on Stephen, the only winner who had evaded being targeted for 39 days. Taking advantage of the split vote, the trio scooped up Burke and Anna Kay, making a final 5 alliance, and blindsiding Stephen, but not before he gave his idol to Sydney. Fearing she would be next, Sydney played her new idol at the following tribal, leaving Anna Kay to be voted out. At the Final 7, Sydney, Emery, and Madi swayed Burke to flip on the trio, believing they were huge threats, causing Hannah, the most masterful social player, and Ben, one of the best strategists, to be voted out, leaving Caroline against 4.

The Final 5 of *All-Stars.* Madi had been playing a more strategically aggressive game, orchestrating blindsides, yet staying off of people's radar. After vowing to play a fierce game her second time, and a die-hard ally in Emery by her side, she has a chance to make it one day farther than she did her last time. Emery came in with a reputation of being a gamer, a social threat, and a challenge beast, and despite being sent to Exile, he has managed to make it a full 10 days farther than his previous season. Sydney has been playing from the bottom since the start, being voted out twice, seeing her closest allies go, and having her name consistently on the chopping block. She came in with a large target on her back for being a key strategist in the first season, as well as flirty and manipulative, but she has made the Final 5 again! Burke has seen all of his solid allies voted out once the merge hit, and even received his first vote on Day 34, going 77 days without receiving one beforehand. Burke has used his social charm and leadership to make it this far, but with 4 other massive players, he may not have his chance at the million if they're smart. Caroline is the last remaining member of the *Holy Trinity* alliance, and she came in to prove that she can make it to Day 50, being one day short last season. Caroline's surprising social game and calm demeanor has gotten her far this season, too, but she may get picked off before she can go farther.

Emery won the immunity challenge on Day 47.
