Australian Survivor has wrapped up its stellar Heroes V Villains season, where Liz Parnov was crowned Sole Survivor over Matt Sharp and Gerry Gelch. Liz is a 28-year-old Russian-born pole-vaulter from Perth, Western Australia. As a two-time Olympian, Liz began the season as a member of the Villains tribe due to her cutthroat approach to the game.

On Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains, Liz formed a strong early bond with returnees Shonee Bowtell and "King" George Mladenov. The trio referred to themselves as the "Spice Girls," while the suballiance duo of Liz and Shonee dubbed themselves "The Shiz." Unfortunately, George turned on Liz and Shonee when he orchestrated Shonee's blindside after the merge. However, Liz continued to work with George while secretly planning to get her revenge, which materialized when she voted him out at the Final Four, paving her path to a unanimous victory over Matt and Gerry.

Former Australian Survivor winner Hayley Leake entered Heroes V Villains with a massive target on her back, but she has managed to break several records so far on the stellar season. Hayley is a pain researcher from Sydney, and she became the Sole Survivor of Brains V Brawn in 2021. Although she was voted out after the merge in that season, she won her way back into the game. Hayley ultimately defeated notorious Australian Survivor villain "King" George Mladenov in the Final Two.

Hayley is currently competing as one of 11 returnees on Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains, which also features 13 new castaways. Hayley is the only returning winner in the Hvv cast, and entered the game with the "winner's curse" at the top of her mind. The only previous Australian Survivor winners to return for a second season, Shane Gould and Jericho Malabonga, were the first two players eliminated on All-Stars.
