Will Survivor 20 be a Tournament of Champions?

A couple of years ago, Jeff Probst was quoted as saying that he would like the 20th edition of Survivor to reunite all past winners and have them compete for the title of 'Ultimate Survivor.'

Well it appears as though CBS may be headed that way.

Original 'Survivor' winner Richard Hatch, who is finishing out the final days of home confinement, stemming from tax evasion charges, has asked the courts permission to travel to Samoa to particpate in Survivor 20.

Samoa is the site of the 19th edition will wrap filming next month and then almost immediately begin filming the 20th edition in the same location.

As a long time fan of the show, I personally love this idea. A true all-out battle on the shows 10th Anniversary to determine the series ultimate player.

The previous version of 'Survivor: All Stars' was one the best 'Survivor's' to date. Not to mention ratings gold for CBS.

Aside from Hatch, another past winner that may have problems participating is 'Survivor: Africa' winner Ethan Zohn. Zohn was diagnosed with cancer last month and is currently undergoing treatment.

Survivor 20 will premiere in February on CBS.

UPDATE: Now the rumor is... 'Survivor: Heroes vs Villians.' Ugh. I like the Champions theme better.
