“Survivor” debuted on CBS as a summer program on May 31, 2000. Hosted by Jeff Probst since the very beginning, it is credited by many as starting the reality show craze that has been a major part of TV this century. After being on the air for two decades, 20 of the most iconic champions returned in Season 40’s “Winners at War” to compete in the first-ever all-winners season. Following a temporary delay due to Covid-19, the reality TV show continued with even more twists and turns, plus more diversity amongst its cast members. Tour our updated “Survivor” winners list below that highlights everyone from Richard Hatch to the most recent.

WHY CAN’T I ACCESS THESE PHOTOS??
If you have an adblock installed, it won’t show the pics.
have adblock actively employed and I can see pix.
Saw you and the family at Waterville wanted to say hello but did not want to bother you. Next time can I just come over and say hello to your family. RITA
My favorite winner is Bostn Rob bu my favorite pla is Rupert.
OMG! My husband and I absolutely adored Rupert!! He needs to make an appearance during a finally!
Geesh! Finale!
Ben played an amazing and strong game knowing he was fighting against many other players, he played smart, trust with full confident in himself and that’s why he won…awesome player.
I agree, he played brilliantly.
I did not particularly like Ben until the end when he played his heart out while others laid around! Even in the advantage, the other guy new ahead of time and gave up practicing. Ben fought to win!! Ben deserved to win!!
Well said !! I agree, Katie!
I see James is coming back one of my favorite players along Rupert Stephanie and tom
My favorite player is Ozie, unfortunately he is a very nice guy and is also an excellent player. Why hasn’t CBS given an opportunity like that to Ozie? Well unfortunately Ben’s ancestors came to this country before Ozie’s. I agree that Ben played a great game in the fact that he kept those idols to himself.
Ozzy is my favorite of all players. He is so talented and smart, not to mention very handsome.
He’s also my favorite player for those reasons. Also, he wins all of the Immunity Challenges. Get rid of the Fire making at the end, & go back to the Final 2. The 3rd person never gets any votes anyway.
Ben deserved to win ! He was an outcast and had no alliance at the end so he had to fight harder than any other player to win! He was also a vet and was playing for his family because we all know vets do not get what they deserve to have a better life! Just saying!!
Ben, Sarah, Sandra, Tony, Boston Rob, Cochran, Aras, Yul and Richard should all come back on one tribe with their runner ups from their season on another tribe, Chrissy, Culpepper, Parvati, Woo, Coach, Sherri, Danielle, Ozzy and Wiglesworth. It would be awesome to see how the paired up and to see how they combine their game skills with each other. Since they like to do 3 tribes now to start it, maybe a group of fan faves. And the tribes shouldn’t know who the other tribes are at first. This would def be the Ultimate Showdown.
OMG,Ben deserved the win,i was his biggest fun,loved this season so much.
Jeff am survivors biggest fun in Africa,i have watched every season and hope one day i could take part in it.
The excitement i get just watching .ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…huge fun
Can we go back to only a final two
Vecepia and Sandra all the way.
Some people think Adam didn’t deserve to win S35 and that he cried his way to the end. Although he might have gotten sympathy votes, I personally think he did play a great game. I think his abilities are just a little underestimated
s34!
firemaking challenge idea sucks! bring back regular final four!
I love the idea of all the runners up playing together! to be able to make it all the way to the end and be that close to a million! It would be a good battle for sure!!
Cochran is my favorite player… Been watching since the beginning of the show. Wish I could have the opportunity to play and I think I would be good at it. Unfortunately I was born with a rare heart defect and now at 45 I am not getting any healthier. I would be a great social player though. Can’t wait for the next survivor. Biggest fan ever. Rupert is also my favorite but Cochran was the underdog and was glad he won his season.
I always enjoyed the tribute to the previously evicted players when the final three/four walk among the PEP (previously evicted players) torches. Was a very solemn episode in an otherwise chaotic series. Chaotic in a GOOD way! Thanks for many years of great TV, Jeff Probst and CBS team.
too bad CBS died in my town at 10pm so missed the end )o;=
They made a mistake with vecepia, they by Brian as the winner for Marquesas
I would love Rob to come back but he’s already played more than once, maybe some of this seasons players should come for a second chance. I love David he should try AGAIN i mean third times a charm lmao
Did not care for Rupert, This year I like Rick…also Joe.
Loved Rupert. Joe and Ozie great physical players but never have a chance due to their great personalitys and physical abilities. Other players jump on the bandwagon to get rid of them.
Chris was 2 faced and lied to rick. Rick should not have given Chris the other half of idol back. Chris has no loyalty.
Rick made his amends with Chris and helped him to the end. And then Chris “backstabed” Rick. That was lowdown and dirty. That was the worst survivor episode that I ever saw. Rickey played the game all the way through, every challenge and Chris didn’t do any of those challenges! What’s up with that. I ended up shutting the TV off because I was so disappointed.
he fought back.
The worst final 3 ever in the sense where none of them had a strong “resume” for why they should win, Gavin just went along with the majority, Julie won a couple challenges but was saved by none other than Devens and Chris… Well Chris did the 1 thing the rest of the survivors couldnt do for weeks (got rid of Devens) BUT he was out for most of the “real” game play to say he EARNED the victory. Yes, Devens came back too BUT he was in the “real” game for much longer and was on the chopping block EVERY wk since he came back and somehow EARNED his stay by winning challeges AND finding Idols… So his return is much different than Chris’ last minute. Im just really upset that the BEST player didnt win.
Pat pay I TOTALLY agree, chris only played 13 DAYSS…… devendorf was by far the best player and everyone new it. And can someone explain to me why on earth he got the stupid immunity idol…. yes sevens have it back but why did chris have it in the first place…… disappointed
I mean sevens was not sevens dorf
Ok I just have to keep going chris backstabbed devens big time by making fire with him…… devens kept you in the game and you do that…… ok I guess it was your move…… I am just shook like he gave you back the immunity idol kept you in the game was you biggest ally ( which keep in mind he said that himself) like really??
I mean devens not devens dorf
Everyone knows RICK should have won. Worst survivor final ever. Chris didn’t deserve to win and definitely didn’t deserve to be in the final
Chris was a great winner. He gave up immunity to beat Devens. Chris fully deserved to win.
I love Survivor My Sister Mia & I watched it. We both where happy we don’t Hate no Survivor cast but we both wanted Kelly & WarDog taken out even Lauren too. But my other Sister Cara Brian her Husben & I wanted Rick too win. Rick was the most sweet Guy next too Joe & David we want too keep. My Sister Mia & I though Joe look like Johnny Depp. Why did you cut your hair why😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😔😔😔😔😔☹😲😲😲. I wish my Sister Mia & I where rich because we need the money. Also I am a disable Person.i think the Presadent Trump stop being shellfish give lots & Homes for all the Homeless Children who needs help Homeless People lots of Money. I ment it.
I think survivor should be for new players only I don’t watch to see the same people all the time it should be 1 chance in a lifetime Boston Rob has way too many chances do the right thing and give others their chance.
I am watching all the season again and have learned so much from outwit out play outlast and how the show touches on race gender and being true to who you really are , It is the best show on TV
Where do you get a hold of the past seasons on DVD? I’ve been having trouble playing the imported seasons I’ve purchased. I’m among the Biggest Fan Ever crowd!!! lol
Bro they are all on HULU
This show is now rigged so that women win because they want to close the gap between men and women winners. The fact that the last 2 season had back to back female winners says it all. It all started with Erika in season 42. Xander was robbed. He definitely should have won but he somehow lost 7 -1 to woman that did nothing all season but he actually had some very good moves. If it’s not rigged by the show runners, it’s rigged by the female contestants on the Jury who will vote for a woman to win just because she’s a woman. If a woman wins season 47 that is further proof and i’ll never watch this show again. A great show has fallen because women were complaining that it’s mostly men who win it, so now it’s rigged
