Season 30
The winner of Season 30 was Mike Holloway.
After 15 years and 30 seasons, the newest edition will feature the first-time theme of "Worlds Apart," with castaways from very different backgrounds divided into the three separate tribes.
The all-new castaways will be grouped by White Collar, Blue Collar and No Collar.
The White Collars (Masaya Tribe), known for making the rules, includes a corporate executive, a retail buyer and a marketing director.
The Blue Collars (Escameca Tribe), known to follow the rules, consists of a postal worker, an oil driller and a contractor.
The No Collars (Nargarote Tribe) boasts free spirits who are known to break the rules. This tribe consists of a coconut salesman, a sailing instructor and a YouTube sensation.
These three tribes will have very different approaches to how they play the game and interact with each other, while sharing the same goal: to outwit, outplay, outlast and ultimately be crowned Sole Survivor and winner of the $1-million dollar prize.
The battle unfolds when these three tribes compete against each other on Survivor:

After four years of being self-coached and self-funded, we upset the number one team in the nation in the finals of a Vegas tournament.
Inspiration in Life
My Dad. My whole life, he was incredibly hard on me and always pushing me to become better at everything I did. He grew up very poor and in a large family in which he endured a lot of hardships. Through the pain and sadness of divorce, family tragedies and death of loved ones, he was still able to keep faith and carry on. He has been an amazing father and role model to me and my sisters and he is a loyal hardworking husband who puts others before himself. I've always looked up to him and I hope that I can be as strong, loving and fearless as he is when I become a husband and father.

My mom. She moved to the U.S. after marrying my dad and giving birth to me. It wasn't a dream of hers to move to the U.S., but she fell in love and made the ultimate sacrifice. Upon moving here, she took English lessons and got her citizenship. Moving here did not come easy, people were prejudiced and mean-spirited, but she didn't let that get her down.
