Survivor: Champions vs Challengers is the 30th season of Mateo's Survivor Series.

Twists

• Champions vs Challengers: Ten of the best/favorite winners from previous seasons are brought back to play against some new players wanting to take their crown.
  • The Da Nang tribe will be represented by the Challengers this season. Composed of 10 new players ready to take on the Champions.
  • The Hanoi tribe will be represented by the Champions this season. Composed of 10 of the best winners ready to keep their crown.
• Hidden Immunity Idol: While the current format still applies, there is also the option to combine two idols to create a "super idol" that can be played after the votes are read to save any player still in the game.
• Kidnapping: After every challenge whether reward or immunity; the winning tribe would be allowed to kidnap one member of the opposing tribe until the next challenge. Players kidnapped after the reward challenge will return before the Immunity Challenge, but those kidnapped after the immunity challenge will skip Tribal Council meaning they are safe.
• Heroes Challenge: At the first reward challenge, the castaways will be informed that every single challenge until the merge will feature two or three castaways to participate in the challenge.
