“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.

Survivor champ and The Challenge: USA winner Sarah Lacina called out Tony Vlachos for his real job as a police officer, eventually leading to one of the most successful alliances in franchise history, Cops-R-Us. During a recent interview, the Game Changers winner admitted production played a role in helping her discover Tony’s true identity.
Sarah Lacina reveals how producers helped her identify Tony Vlachos as a cop
Speaking to podcast Challenge Mania during a February 2023 appearance, Iowa-based investigator Sarah Lacina noticed Tony Vlachos during casting and felt he looked, dressed, and walked like a cop.
Additionally, Sarah recalled him repeatedly getting brought up in her interviews and realized producers “lit up” when she identified him as a police officer, clueing her in. When asked about using production as an edge in the game, the Iowa native noted she used her Cagayan experience with them to help her game in subsequent seasons.

The Challenge: USA final recently concluded, with two winners crowned as champions for the spinoff season. They were the only two competitors out of 10 to complete Tj Lavin’s final in Patagonia.
However, one competitor could not complete the final due to a situation she didn’t have much control over. It all came down to a strict rule: if your teammate quit, you were also out of the final.
The final consisted of checkpoints, and it was one man paired with one woman randomly for each one. Survivor star Desi Williams had the misfortune of The Algorithm randomly pairing her with Big Brother’s Enzo Palumbo for the first leg.

Despite most episode footage showing The Challenge: USA’s cast members co-existing and seeming to get along, that’s not the case following the aired episodes for some castmates.
The show brings together stars from CBS’ popular reality television shows, Big Brother, Amazing Race, Survivor, and Love Island, with the goal to make the final and win a share of substantial prize money.
Some cast members are former winners of their shows or brought a good deal of competitive experience with them. Unfortunately, Love Island was seemingly at a disadvantage regarding The Challenge spinoff, but many of its cast members took the underdog role and ran with it.
Among the show’s competitors was Cashay Proudfoot, who commented about one castmate after seeing and hearing their comments during an episode and on social media.

One of the stars from The Challenge: USA has recently claimed that their castmate was given a win during the spinoff show, even though they didn’t win in the event.
The latest claims arrived after Episode 8 of the spinoff aired on CBS and featured an emotional storyline for cast member Ben Driebergen.
During the episode, footage presented Ben dealing with some difficult emotions on the anniversary of his Marine Corp friend’s passing.
That led to a sleepless night for the Survivor star, who reflected on the loss during confessional interviews shown during the episode.
It also may have led to a win being gifted to Ben in the daily challenge by production, according to Amazing Race star Leo Temory.

One of the notable aspects of The Challenge: USA spinoff is that it only features one familiar face from MTV’s main show, and that’s the host, Tj Lavin.
However, none of the popular competitors from MTV’s show are part of CBS’ spinoff. Instead, the cast members are from Amazing Race, Big Brother, Love Island, and Survivor.
Big Brother brought multiple competitors from Season 23 of their show to The Challenge: the USA. That includes Kyland Young, who became part of a “three-headed monster” that others were looking to oust from the CBS spinoff show.
In interviews ahead of the premiere episode, he’d mentioned that he studied up on his Challenge history, watching previous seasons of MTV’s show in preparation for the spinoff.

Three “Survivor” legends — Lauren-Ashley Beck (Season 39), Brice Johnston (Season 28) and Ozzy Lusth — attended a Season 42 finale watch party at Busby’s West on May 25 to see who would became the latest member of the show’s iconic winners list. They were joined by many former castaways (including Season 33 champ Adam Klein and Season 36 winner Wendell Holland), other reality TV show stars, plus dozens of fans who all watched the three-hour episode live on CBS. Gold Derby was on hand to talk with the trio of former players about how the reality TV show has evolved in recent years.
“I feel like for a long time ‘Survivor’ has missed the mark and I feel like it is so great to see the diversity,” Brice told me. He is the first openly gay Black person to play, and now he’s “honored to see the trans representation, the Poc representation, the women representation.

One day after “Survivor” made headlines when two Black women, Maryanne Oketch and Drea Wheeler, openly addressed their feelings on racism and subconscious biases, Maryanne has thanked two of her white castaways for being allies. Lindsay Dolashewich and Tori Meehan “had every right to fight for their safety in the game once both idols were played,” Maryanne wrote on Instagram, “but instead, they chose to take a step back to actively listen to where I was coming from, and [empathize] with the burdens that I experience.” The 24-year-old seminary student from Ontario added that CBS’s reality TV show is at its core a “social game that is a microcosm of society.”
Maryanne’s comments come on the heels of Drea urging “Survivor” fans to “be kind” following the airing of the ninth episode. “I respect everyone’s thoughts and opinions,” Drea tweeted on Thursday morning. “All I ask is that...

Drea Wheeler has a message for “Survivor” fans who have been lashing out on social media following Wednesday’s dramatic tribal council: “Be kind.” She tweeted the message on Thursday morning, no doubt her way of addressing all of the frustrated “Survivor” viewers who didn’t connect with the discussion on racism and subconscious biases in the ninth episode. “I respect everyone’s thoughts and opinions,” Drea said. “All I ask is that you respect my fellow #Survivor 42 family.”
I respect everyone’s thoughts and opinions. All I ask is that you respect my fellow #Survivor 42 family. Be kind

Xavier Prather, the historic first African-American winner of “Big Brother,” has tweeted a two-word response to “Survivor’s” all-Black alliance: “Everybody eats.”
His comment is a direct reference to the Cookout, the name of his “BB23” alliance from this summer that dominated the game, resulting in all six members making it to the end and Xavier winning the $750,000 grand prize. Now a similar alliance has been created on “Survivor 41” consisting of the four remaining Black players: Shantel “Shan” Smith, Liana Wallace, Deshawn Radden and Danny McCray.

After kinda-sorta merging during the sixth episode of Season 41, these four castaways struck an agreement to remain loyal to each other for the rest of the game. While they didn’t give an official name to their group, some “Survivor” fans took to social media to call the new alliance the Campout, a clever callback to the Cookout.

When the merge kinda-sorta happened on the sixth episode of “Survivor 41,” it brought together people from all three tribes. Immediately, the show’s four remaining Black castaways — Shantel “Shan” Smith from Ua, Liana Wallace from Yase, and Deshawn Radden and Danny McCray from Luvu — struck an agreement to remain loyal to each other for the rest of the game. While they didn’t give an official name to their group, fans of “Big Brother 23” immediately had flashbacks to the Cookout alliance, which dominated that season and resulted in a Black person winning for the first time ever.
In truth, this 41st cycle of “Survivor” was filmed back in the spring, well before the “BB23” houseguests created their Cookout alliance during the most recent summer installment. “More than any other season that I think I’ve ever watched on ‘Survivor,’ I think Season 41 has been the most diverse and most inclusive and representative of America,...

Jonathan Penner‘s wife Stacy Beth Title has died of Als at age 56. The three-time “Survivor” player tweeted the sad news on Monday. Title was an Oscar-nominated director for “Down on the Waterfront” who continued to work after her diagnosis in 2017. “Survivor” fans will remember Title from her two appearances on the reality TV show. She visited her husband during the “Cook Islands” loved ones reward in 2006 (watch above), and the couple appeared virtually for a “CBS Cares” profile about Als during “Winners at War” in 2020 (watch below).

Gervase Peterson urges ‘Survivor’ to be ‘more equally diverse,’ both on-screen and behind the scenes
This summer marks the 20th anniversary of “Survivor” premiering on CBS, and Gervase Peterson is now speaking out about his experience. “I honestly don’t have any regrets” about either of the two times he played, he tells EW.com. This fan-fave original castaway came in seventh place in “Borneo” (2000) and third place in “Blood vs. Water” (2013). “It changed my life, and I have loved every minute of playing it.” Gervase also opens up about what he’d change about the long-running reality TV show, proclaiming, “I would make ‘Survivor’ more equally diverse.”
He continues, “For years, it was a standard of one Black man and one Black woman. That’s just terrible. Also, more diversity in casting and production. This would help in a more diverse cast and the telling of the diverse cast stories and not labeling them with negative stereotypes. It’s been long overdue.” Over the first 40 seasons of “Survivor,...

The Bachelor had its reckoning, will Survivor follow suit? A new initiative is underway calling on CBS to improve portrayals of and expand the inclusion of Black and Indigenous people of color (Bipoc) on the long-running reality series. The petition was created by former Survivor contestants J'Tia Hart and Brice Izyah. Wendell Holland, winner of Survivor: Ghost Island, is also backing the call to action, as are a number of other veterans of the show. The petition calls for a number of steps for Survivor to take, including casting at least 30 percent of contestants on each season to be Bipoc, equitable screen time and promotion events for Bipoc, mental health resource geared to helping Bipoc cast members navigate their...

(Warning: This post contains major spoilers for the Season 40 finale of “Survivor.”)
The 40th season of “Survivor,” a.k.a. “Survivor: Winners at War,” came to a close with a supersized finale on Wednesday that saw one competitor walk away with a $2 million check and become the long-running CBS competition’s newest two-time “Sole Survivor. “
Tony Vlachos was the player with the honor of winning “Winners at War,” having previously been crowned the champion of Season 28, “Survivor: Cagayan.”
“Survivor: Winners at War” featured 20 legendary winners from the first 39 seasons of “Survivor” returning to compete against each other in the 20th anniversary edition of the competition. These winners included Vlachos, Natalie Anderson, Tyson Apostol, Danni Boatwright, Sophie Georgina Clarke, Jeremy Collins, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Ben Driebergen, Michele Fitzgerald, Wendell Holland, Adam Klein, Yul Kwon, Sarah Lacina, Amber Mariano, “Boston” Rob Mariano, Parvati Shallow, Kim Spradlin-Wolfe, Denise Stapley, Nick Wilson and Ethan Zohn.

It seems like only yesterday the 20 returning “Survivor” champions returned for an epic clash in “Winners at War,” but now we’ve already reached the Season 40 finale. Heading into Wednesday’s three-hour event, only five castaways remained in the running to win the $2 million prize: Ben Driebergen, Denise Stapley, Michele Fitzgerald, Sarah Lacina and Tony Vlachos. But there were 14 players living on the Edge of Extinction who were itching for their chance to return to the game: Natalie Anderson, Amber Mariano, Danni Boatwright, Ethan Zohn, Rob Mariano, Parvati Shallow, Yul Kwon, Wendell Holland, Adam Klein, Tyson Apostol, Sophie Clarke, Kim Spradlin-Wolfe, Jeremy Collins and Nick Wilson. The 20th contestant, Sandra Diaz-Twine, quit after being voted out on Day 16.

Most “Survivor” devotees are betting on Tony Vlachos to claim the title of Sole Survivor on the 40th season of the CBS show, “Winners at War.” The biggest argument made for predicting his ultimate victory on the three-hour finale this Wednesday, May 13? He is the only one of the 20 previous champs competing on this so-called “season on steroids” whose name has never been written down during a Tribal Council. He might be twitchy as an itchy squirrel sometimes, but he has shown off both his leadership skills, his physical prowess and endurance and even his social game.
That is why an overwhelming 62% voted in our Gold Derby poll for Tony to win it all and become just the second winner to win “Survivor” twice since Sandra Diaz-Twine, who left the season early after being blindsided with her own immunity idol and quit once she got to the Edge of Extinction.

Natalie Anderson is the richest woman on “Survivor: Winners at War,” at least in terms of fire tokens. Having collected a whopping 14 tokens since being voted out on Day 2, she now has several advantages going into the finale’s big re-entry challenge. As seen in last week’s penultimate episode, she bought three advantages for the upcoming challenge, a jar of peanut butter and a hidden Immunity Idol which she gave to Tyson Apostol just in case he won, having already purchased one for herself earlier. All of these are likely reasons why she is the definitive frontrunner to get back into the game in Wednesday’s “Survivor: Winners at War” finale.
Natalie has 4/9 odds of being the Edge of Extinction returnee, according to Gold Derby’s latest odds. In the opinion of our users, no one else is even close to being in that top position. Tyson is in the no.

This season of Survivor, which airs its finale Wednesday (CBS, 8/7c), I drank in the excitement as 20 former winners battled it out for a whopping $2 million prize. I chuckled as the more eccentric characters made entertaining comments or paranoia-fueled game moves. I cheered as some pushed past breaking points on an isolated island, the “Edge of Extinction.” I wrung my hands in suspense as cast members sunk or saved themselves at unpredictable tribal councils.
But I only saw two people who looked like me: African American contestants Wendell Holland and Jeremy Collins. Vecepia Robinson, the only African American woman to...

Kim Spradlin-Wolfe (‘Survivor 40’) exit interview: I have no regrets about trying to ‘take out Tony’
“The feeling of being voted out was weird, but I’m not sorry for trying to gather the troops to take out Tony,” declared Kim Spradlin-Wolfe after her shocking elimination in “Survivor: Winners at War” Episode 12. Kim’s plan was to remove the wildest and most unpredictable player from the game, Tony Vlachos, but he was saved when he won his third immunity necklace in a row. “I think it was the right move and the game’s not over,” she added in her post-show exit interview.

Last week after Sophie Clarke‘s shocking blindside, the Top 8 contestants of “Survivor: Winners at War” were determined: Jeremy Collins, Ben Driebergen, Michele Fitzgerald, Sarah Lacina, Kim Spradlin-Wolfe, Denise Stapley, Tony Vlachos and Nick Wilson.

So how did everything play out, and whose torch did Jeff Probst snuff at the end of the hour?

After 11 episodes of “Survivor: Winners at War,” Tony Vlachos still has yet to receive a single vote at tribal council. Considering how much of a known threat he was heading into this epic 40th season, that is quite the accomplishment indeed. When this New Jersey police officer originally played in “Survivor: Cagayan,” his cutthroat attitude and penchant for lying made him one of the most slippery villains to ever win CBS’s reality TV show. He returned in “Survivor: Game Changers,” but his reputation got the best of him and he was the second player voted out.
“I’m on probation,” Tony joked in this season’s premiere when he first stepped foot on the Dakal beach. He desperately wanted to find a hidden immunity idol, but he knew if he disappeared he’d be on the chopping block. Tony’s tribe first went to tribal council on Day 3, but...

Wendell sent to ‘kick it’ on extinction
When the guys on the Yara tribe turned on each other, it was likely going to spell trouble at the merge. It burnt bridges with people from their old tribe and they didn’t have many other connections. And it put Wendell Holland on the outs this week. The vote could have easily been Nick Wilson, but Wendell’s relationship with Jeremy Collins put a target on his back. This season on “Survivor,” connections (even perceived ones) have proven a detriment.

Sophie Clarke wasn’t quite a legend tier “Survivor” champ heading into “Winners at War,” but that might just change by the end of this season. Starting with the fourth episode of the season, Gold Derby users have expected Sophie to be the champion of this all-winners season and our users haven’t budged since. Now, with 11 players including Sophie left in the game, the “South Pacific” winner is looking better and better to be cashing that $2 million check at the end of the game.
Sophie has a 31/10 chance of winning this 40th season of “Survivor,” according to our odds. Sophie got into a majority position on her tribe from the jump and stealthily called the shots in the shadows throughout the pre-merge. She was instrumental in last week’s merge episode, leading the charge to take out Wendell Holland. Sophie currently has more no. 1 votes than all other players on this cast combined,...

Everybody except for Michele Fitzgerald (Wendell’s former girlfriend) and Nick Wilson (Wendell’s second in command) voted to send him packing.

Adam Klein continues to be the no. 1 most predicted boot on “Survivor: Winners at War.” The 28-year-old “Millennials vs. Gen X” champion has had a difficult road to the merge, ticking off allies and having plans backfire in his face.

The 11 remaining castaways — plus one Edge returnee! — are about to hit a Survivor milestone. Ladies and gents, drop your buffs: It’s time to merge!
As fans know, the first joint tribal council can be a make-or-break vote for many players’ games. Merges re-shuffle the deck, as former tribemates are reunited, new friends and foes are made and loyalties either get shifted or bulldozed all together. Historically, merges set the stage for some of the show’s best blindsides, so strap in and hold on tight. This week’s episode (airing Wednesday at 8/7c on CBS) is sure to bring some fireworks.

Heading into Wednesday’s seventh episode of “Survivor: Winners at War,” Gold Derby readers predicted that the two castaways most in danger of being voted out were Adam Klein of Yara and Yul Kwon of Sele. With only 12 players still in game proper, who was the ninth castaway to have their torch snuffed? Meanwhile, with the Edge of Extinction return challenge on the horizon, the eight voted-out players were gearing up to re-enter the competition — but was the pressure too much for Sandra Diaz-Twine, as host Jeff Probst hinted last week?

Adam Klein is likely to be the first champion from a recent season to be voted out of “Survivor: Winners at War,” according to Gold Derby odds. Season 40 has already been an old school slaughter as we’ve seen legend after legend like Rob Mariano, Parvati Shallow and Sandra Diaz-Twine voted out one after another, while no winner from Season 30 or later has gotten their torch snuffed. Predictors here at Gold Derby think we will finally see a new school winner voted out on Wednesday night’s episode.
