“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.
King Tony and Queen Sandra
Tony and Sandra are affectionately known as the King and Queen of “Survivor” because they’re the only two-time winners in the show’s history. Tony prevailed in “Cagayan” and “Winners at War,” while Sandra claimed victory in “Pearl Islands” and “Heroes vs. Villains.”
