* {{tribeicon1|heroes}} {{return|15}}{{return|16}} [[Amanda Kimmel]], playing for a third time since ''China'' and ''Micronesia''. She was most notable for making it to Day 39 in both of her seasons, but lost both times for not answering the [[Jury]]'s questions adequately.
 
* {{tribeicon1|heroes}} {{return|13}} [[Candice Woodcock]], competing for a second time since ''Cook Islands''. Most notable for the infamous [[mutiny]] twist in her season. She returned to her original tribe, [[Rarotonga]], to be with her former tribemates [[Adam Gentry]] and [[Parvati Shallow]].
 
* {{tribeicon1|heroes}} {{return|2}}{{return|8}} [[Colby Donaldson]], returning for a third time since ''The Australian Outback'' and ''All-Stars''. He accepted the offer to compete again to redeem himself from his flat performance in All-Stars. He is considered to be Survivor's first Hero. He was also famous for his love-hate relationship with former tribemate Jerri Manthey (who attained revenge by voting him out in ''All-Stars'').
 
* {{tribeicon1|villains}} {{return|12}} [[Danielle DiLorenzo]], from ''Panama'', notable for blindsiding [[Terry Deitz]] at the penultimate Tribal Council after she had promised to take him to the end in return for teaching her how to make fire in anticipation of a tiebreaker challenge with [[Cirie Fields]].
 
* {{tribeicon1|heroes}} {{return|18}} [[J.T. Thomas]], the winner of ''Tocantins''. Most notable for being the likable, yet duplicitous farm boy. Due to his charm, he played a "perfect game" by getting all Jury votes and not having a vote cast against him.
 
* {{tribeicon1|villains}} {{return|2}}{{return|8}} [[Jerri Manthey]], returning for her third time since ''The Australian Outback'' and ''All-Stars'', most notable for having a love-hate relationship with fellow ex-Australia comrade Colby Donaldson in ''The Australian Outback'' and being considered the first Survivor "Villainess."
 
* {{tribeicon1|villains}} {{return|13}}{{return|16}} [[Parvati Shallow]], returning for her third time since ''Cook Islands'' and ''Micronesia''. She flirted her way though the game, and led a very successful all-women alliance by orchestrating a long string of blindsides, which eventually made her the winner of ''Micronesia''.
 
* {{tribeicon1|heroes}} {{return|7}}{{return|8}} [[Rupert Boneham]], one of the shows most popular players ever, returning for a third time since ''Pearl Islands'' and ''All-Stars''. He also won the Fan Favorite Award (known as "America's Tribal Council"), winning a million dollars, even though he did not technically win the competition. Most notable for his distinctive beard, his tie-dyed shirt, stealing shoes in ''Pearl Islands'', and his signature victory cry.
 
* {{tribeicon1|villains}} {{return|19}} [[Russell Hantz]], from ''Samoa'', notable for being branded as the most devious player yet. Known for sabotaging and dictating his tribe's voting politics from Day 1 by claiming he was a Hurricane Katrina victim, draining all of the tribe's water canteens, burning [[Jaison Robinson]]'s socks and successfully finding three Hidden Immunity Idols without any clues.
 
* {{tribeicon1|villains}} {{return|7}} [[Sandra Diaz-Twine]], the winner of ''Pearl Islands'', whose "as long as it ain't me" strategy earned her the title of Sole Survivor. Notable for taking revenge for Rupert Boneham's blindside by secretly dumping all the fish Boneham caught and framing her friend and closest ally [[Christa Hastie]] for the incident, leading to Hastie's elimination. She is also known for cussing people out, with [[Jeff Probst]] referring to her as the "lippiest mother ever on Survivor."

On Day 25, the two tribes of the Heroes and Villains merged together and became the Yin Yang tribe. Danielle won the first individual immunity of the season. With the tribe even with five heroes and five villains each, there was a lot of strategy involving idols or getting someone to flip involved, with contestants who played together before, such as Rupert and Sandra, and Amanda and Parvati, trying to see if there was a way they could work together like they had in the past. At Tribal Council, the tribal lines remained intact with 5 votes JT and 5 votes Jerri, but Parvati handed two Hidden Immunity Idols to Sandra and Jerri (one of which, she received from Russell, who received it from J.T.), which negated five votes against Jerri and broke the deadlock. J.T. became the third jury member with a vote of 5-0, joining Coach and Courtney on the jury.

On Day 25, the two tribes of the [[Heroes]] and [[Villains]] merged and became the Yin Yang tribe. [[Danielle DiLorenzo]] won the first individual immunity of the season. With the tribe even with five heroes and five villains each, there were various strategies involving [[Hidden Immunity Idol]]s or getting someone to flip involved, with contestants who played together before, such as [[Rupert Boneham]] and [[Sandra Diaz-Twine]], and [[Amanda Kimmel]] and [[Parvati Shallow]], trying to see if there was a way they could work together like they had in the past. Ultimately, tribal lines prevented any of such pairs to work together, as the other Heroes didn't believe Rupert could trust Sandra and Parvati felt Amanda was lying to her about the vote. At [[Tribal Council]], the tribal lines remained intact with five votes for [[J.T. Thomas]] and five votes for [[Jerri Manthey]], but Parvati handed two Hidden Immunity Idols to Sandra and Jerri (one of which, she received from [[Russell Hantz]], who received it from J.T.), which negated five votes against Jerri and broke the deadlock. J.T. became the third jury member with a vote of 5-0, joining [[Coach Wade]] and [[Courtney Yates]] on the jury.
   
The castaways were split into teams for the reward challenge on Day 28, which the team of Amanda, Colby, and Danielle won. At the reward, a fight broke out between Amanda and Danielle over possession to the clue to another Hidden Immunity Idol. Colby had to intervene, and even though the Heroes desperately needed the idol clue, he let Danielle have it since she found it first. Danielle took possession of the clue, then shared it with Russell, who was able to find the idol. Jerri won individual immunity. At Tribal Council, Russell was concerned about the possibility that Sandra flipped to the Heroes, and unnecessarily played the idol as Amanda became the fourth jury member by a vote of 6-3.

Tribe History

On Day 25, the two tribes of the Heroes and Villains merged and became the Yin Yang tribe. Danielle DiLorenzo won the first individual immunity of the season. With the tribe even with five heroes and five villains each, there were various strategies involving Hidden Immunity Idols or getting someone to flip involved, with contestants who played together before, such as Rupert Boneham and Sandra Diaz-Twine, and Amanda Kimmel and Parvati Shallow, trying to see if there was a way they could work together like they had in the past. Ultimately, tribal lines prevented any of such pairs to work together, as the other Heroes didn't believe Rupert could trust Sandra and Parvati felt Amanda was lying to her about the vote. At Tribal Council, the tribal lines remained intact with five votes for J.T. Thomas and five votes for Jerri Manthey, but Parvati handed two Hidden Immunity Idols to Sandra and Jerri (one of which, she received from Russell Hantz, who received it from J.T.), which negated five votes against Jerri and broke the deadlock. J.T. became the third jury member with a vote of 5-0, joining Coach Wade and Courtney Yates on the jury.

The castaways were split into teams for the Reward Challenge on Day 28, which the team of Amanda, Danielle, and Colby Donaldson won. At the reward, a fight broke out between Amanda and Danielle over possession to the clue to another Hidden Immunity Idol. Colby had to intervene, and even though the Heroes desperately needed the idol clue, he let Danielle have it since she found it first. Danielle took possession of the clue, then shared it with Russell, who was able to find the idol. Jerri won individual immunity. At Tribal Council, Russell was concerned about the possibility that Sandra flipped to the Heroes, and unnecessarily played the idol as Sandra stuck with the Villains, while Candice Woodcock also flipped on the Heroes; Amanda became the fourth jury member by a vote of 6-3.

Day 31 featured a surprise Immunity Challenge won by Parvati. After the challenge, host Jeff Probst read a clue to another Hidden Immunity Idol, which was found by Sandra. Sensing that he was in danger, Rupert pretended to have an idol by placing a rock in his pants and hoped that the Villains would believe that he had a real idol. That night at Tribal Council, the Villains split their votes between Rupert and Candice, while Colby and Rupert voted against Candice for her betrayal; Candice was voted out 5-3.

Russell won the Immunity Challenge on Day 33. Danielle became the sixth jury member (and the first Villain voted out of the merged tribe) by a vote of 4-3 after Russell decided that he needed to split the alliance between Danielle and Parvati. He secured the votes by convincing Jerri to flip, who took this opportunity to cement herself in a stronger position to reach the final 3. However, after Tribal Council, Jerri expressed regret in her decision and Sandra and Parvati reassured her that they would have their back, regardless of Russell's antics.

Jerri won the Reward Challenge on Day 34 and selected Parvati and Sandra to join her in the reward, along with their loved ones. Parvati won the Immunity Challenge. At Tribal Council, Sandra used her Hidden Immunity Idol, negating two votes against her. Rupert became the seventh jury member by a vote of 4-0.

Parvati won the final five Immunity Challenge on Day 37. Colby became the eighth jury member (and the last Hero) by a vote of 4-1. Russell won the final four individual immunity and told Sandra he would take her to the Final Three since he thought he could beat her. Parvati, however, argued that Sandra should be voted out since she believed Sandra would get votes from the jury. At Tribal Council, Jerri became the ninth and final jury member by a vote of 3-1.

The final three enjoyed tearing down camp and headed to the Final Tribal Council. All three were confident in their respective strategies, but Russell minimized Sandra and Parvati's gameplay. Tired of his attitude, Sandra threw Russell's hat in the fire. At Final Tribal Council, the jury largely dismissed Russell for his arrogance and believing he got to the end with no luck involved. Sandra's perseverance after her alliance was wiped out and Parvati's challenge prowess was particularly praised, leaving the jury with a tough decision between the two former winners. Sandra became the first two-time winner by a vote of 6-3-0, with Parvati and Russell placing 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
