Surv!vor: Kaoh Rong

 is the thirtieth season of the ! Survivor series.

Similar to Borneo, Heroes vs. Villains and Redemption Island this season features returning players and serves as a parallel to Surv!vor: Cambodia as part of the thirtieth season celebrations.

Contestants
When the game started, all of the contestants participated in an individual Reward Challenge. The top eight finishers were sent to Invulnerability Beach, where they were safe for two rounds, but tribeless. The remaining 32 castaways were then separated into tribes based on their Edgic ratings from their previous Surv!vor appearances. Moringo won the first !mmunity Challenge and were able to pick the tribe they would compete with on their season; they selected Chung Pow and Kaoh Rong, leaving Ottoba and Utraya to duke it out on Cambodia.

 The castaway spent the first two rounds of the game on Invulnerability Beach and either chose or was assigned to a tribe on Day 7.  The castaway was not chosen in the tribe switch on Day 13, swapping them over to Surv!vor: Cambodia.  The castaway was not chosen in the tribe switch on Day 13 on Surv!vor: Cambodia, swapping them over to this season.  The castaway received the second-most votes at a particular Tr!bal Council at Surv!vor: Cambodia, swapping them over to this season.  The castaway returned from Redempt!on Island.

Tom and Colby won the !mmunity Challenge, and chose for Colby to visit Kaoh Rong's Tr!bal Council in lieu of not attending Cambodia's.

Voting History
No vote: Jeanne was evacuated from the game due to inactivity. Adam, Brooke, and Tom were not chosen in the tribe switch, and were swapped over to Surv!vor: Cambodia. At this Tr!bal Council, the person who received the most votes was voted out, while the person who received the second-most votes was sent to Surv!vor: Cambodia. Lindsey played a hidden !mmunity idol, therefore five votes against her were not counted. There was a tie at Tr!bal Council for the second-most votes between Colby and Tony. As a result, they had to draw rocks to determine who would be swapped over to the other season. Colby drew the black rock, meaning he would be eliminated. Tony played a hidden !mmunity idol, therefore one vote against him was not counted.
