History

On May 31, 2000, the first episode of Survivor aired, and the show forever changed American television. An immediate hit, the series is widely regarded as a turning point in reality television, particularly competitive formats, which soon became a leading TV genre. Survivor follows a group of contestants stranded in a remote location as they compete for cash prizes. The first season’s winner was Richard Hatch, and two people have won Survivor twice: Sandra Diaz-Twine and Tony Vlachos. Who are the other winners? Find out in our list below.
