CBS' Survivor has 40 seasons under its belt, and fans still love to classify their favorite castaways into many categories - and one of them is definitely the villains of the game. Throughout this competition series, there have been many sneaky, manipulative, betraying, and super intelligent players to hit the beach.
From Russell Hantz to Parvati Shallow to Jerri Manthey, fans might be wondering what these iconic villains have been up since their torch got snuffed or since they took home the title of Sole Survivor. So, it's time to figure out where their lives have taken them post-Survivor.
Sandra Diaz-Twine
Sandra is the 'queen' of this series, being one of two players to win the game twice. While she did come back for Winners at War, this legend couldn't quite keep up. However, Sandra isn't mad about it and still holds the crown in her opinion.
Since her many appearances on the show, Sandra lives a pretty modest life. She has two children and a husband, and they all live in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Otherwise, this queen is a secretary at a law firm but is mostly just living the family life.
Rob Cesternino
Rob Cesternino is one of the most memorable players from the show, and Jeff Probst even declares him as one of the smartest players to never actually win the show. He played on The Amazon and All-Stars, and fans will never forget his constant betrayals and manipulations.
Now, though, Rob focuses pretty much entirely on his hit podcast, aptly titled Rob Has a Podcast, which first aired in 2010. He often features Survivor alumni and talks about many other pop culture topics. He's also a husband and a father of two and lives a pretty fun life with his podcast.
Jerri Manthey
Fans might remember this three-time player, but most notably they likely recognize her from Heroes vs. Villains. However, on Australian Outback, this legend is widely known as the first 'villainess' of the entire series.
Her first season was back in 2001, with her last airing in 2010. Between her times on the island and in the last decade, Jerri Manthey has done acting, modeling, and television appearances. She showed up in Faith Hill's music video and participated on Hollywood Squares. Jerri also got married in 2012 - which was officiated by fellow alum, Lex van Den Berghe. Her time in the spotlight is clearly far from over.
Russell Hantz
There might not be a more iconic villain than Russell Hantz. This conniving, betraying, and cunning player did just about anything to make it to the end - and he's actually pretty infamous for it. After playing a couple of times, Russell is living the regular life.
In his days since the game, he has been diving into the father life with his four children but divorced from his wife in 2012. He also participated on Survivor Australia, and now has his own podcast called The Russell Hantz Show. He also owns an oil company.
Abi-Maria Gomes
This firecracker was definitely a ticking time-bomb, but no fan will ever forget the passion and determination that Abi-Maria Gomes brought to the game. She played on Philippines and Cambodia and has since been remembered as one of the most villainous gals on the beach.
Since her time on the show, though, Abi-Maria has focused on her career as a realtor and has been spending a majority of her time with friends and family. Plus, she claims that her Survivor alter-ego is nothing like her real-life personality - and she's living the high life.
Benjamin "Coach" Wade
This is one name that definitely has all fans stirring when they hear it. This three-time player kept everyone on their toes, and he actually made the final three in South Pacific. However, this villain never took the title, but he did leave a lasting impact on the show.
Since then, Coach has been spending a lot of time with his wife and her son and has had two more kids since. The loving family lives in California, and Coach really says that's all there is to life. He's actually also a pretty impressive musician, and still, a coach.
Kass McQuillen
Kass was definitely the villain of her first season on Cagayan and was also invited back for Cambodia. Her rivalry with Tasha Fox and Spencer Bledsoe might just be one of the most memorable in the show's history.
However, when she's not on the island, Kass is a business attorney and lives in California with her husband of over 10 years. She has one daughter but lives a pretty private family life. However, this outspoken villain is definitely active on Twitter - and fans should give her a follow.
Jonny Fairplay
Jonny Fairplay might be the mastermind behind one of the most memorable strategic lies in the book: the dead grandmother play. He has since gone down in the show's history as one of the most iconic villains to hit the beach, and last played in 2008.
In 2020, he did an interview to catch up on his life since the show. Fairplay has two daughters and is currently a realtor in Virginia. He also hosts his own podcast, called SurvivorNSFW with fellow alum, Matt Bischoff. Fairplay even got involved in the wrestling business for a short time.
Parvati Shallow
There might not be a villain that has as many fans as Parvati Shallow. This three-time player can be manipulative and cunning, but she's also entirely lovable and totally charming. Parvati has one title under her belt, and she's still a big part of the Survivor family.
Parvati is a huge wellness guru and opened her own wellness center in Santa Monica after winning the game. She is also married to fellow contestant, John Fincher, and the two are busy parenting their young daughter. Beyond that, Parvati hosts a lot of 'after shows' with cast members of Survivor.
Tony Vlachos
The only contestants to have two titles are both villains - and Tony Vlachos is one of them. With a crown from Cagayan and Winners at War, Tony has dedicated a lot of his time to this reality competition show.
However, he's still a police officer and spends most of his time with his son, daughter, and wife, Marissa. He still lives a humble life in New Jersey and is the first to say that most of his life post-Survivor has involved his family.
