Survivor: Winners at War is the fortieth season of the CBS competitive reality television series Survivor.

This season featured twenty of the show's previous winners to commemorate its 20th anniversary. Tony Vlachos beat Natalie Anderson and Michele Fitzgerald in a 12-4-0 vote, making him the series' second two-time winner.

Production
The season was filmed in May–June 2019, two weeks after Survivor: Island of the Idols.

Much like every previous season to feature an all-returning player cast, challenge producer John Kirhoffer revealed that classic challenges return to commemorate the show's 40th season and 20th anniversary.[4]

The pay scale for the season is significantly increased, with the receiving $2,000,000. The first person voted out is guaranteed to take home at least $25,000 instead of the standard $2,500.[5]

Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine, who both appeared as mentors on Island of the Idols, only had two weeks to prepare for the upcoming season.

The announcement of the winner was done virtually due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. As such, there was no reunion show for the season.[3] Further, filming for seasons 41 and 42, which should have commenced during late spring to early summer of 2020, were suspended for similar reasons.

Casting
According to host Jeff Probst, the cast was assembled to equally represent winners from the earlier seasons, the middle, and the more recent seasons.[6]

The past winners who did not make the cast were:

Richard Hatch (Borneo) was initially invited and cleared to compete, but was cut due to his controversial actions during All-Stars, the memory of which Probst felt would not sit well with the modern audience, especially following a recent similar incident during Island of the Idols.[7][8]
Tina Wesson (The Australian Outback) was invited, but was cut from the final roster.
Vecepia Towery (Marquesas) was not invited.[9]
Brian Heidik (Thailand)
Jenna Morasca (The Amazon)
Chris Daugherty (Vanuatu)
Tom Westman (Palau) was considered, but ultimately not contacted.[10][11]
Aras Baskauskas (Panama) was invited, but refused to leave his family behind.[12]
Earl Cole (Fiji) was invited, but declined to take care of his expectant wife and other personal commitments.
Todd Herzog (China)
Bob Crowley (Gabon) was not invited.[13]
J.T. Thomas (Tocantins)
Natalie White (Samoa)
Fabio Birza (Nicaragua)
John Cochran (Caramoan) was invited and would have been given a spot, but stood by his previous statement to never play again.[14]
Mike Holloway (Worlds Apart) was invited, but was cut from the final roster.
Chris Underwood (Edge of Extinction) was not invited because he would not have known that he won at the time of casting and the Edge of Extinction finale aired just one week before Winners at War began filming.
Tommy Sheehan (Island of the Idols) was not invited because he would not have known that he won at the time of filming, as Island of the Idols and Winners at War were filmed only two weeks apart and the former season had yet to air.
Twists/Changes
Returning Winners: Twenty former Survivor winners return for a chance to win a second Sole Survivor title.
Increased Prize Money: For this season, the winner will receive $2,000,000, the biggest prize given in the series and reality television history.[15]
Fire Tokens: A new twist, Fire Tokens allow the castaways to purchase creature comforts, food, or game advantages.
Edge of Extinction: The Edge of Extinction returns this season with the same exact rules and premise.[15]
Effort Tasks: To earn Fire Tokens, the players living on the Edge of Extinction will have to perform tasks requiring herculean effort.[16]
Hidden Immunity Idol: A Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden at each camp. However, these idols have two halves, one of which must be given to another castaway before sundown on the same day that it is found. The two halves can later be combined into an idol with full power.
Edge of Extinction advantages: The following game advantages were available thru the Edge of Extinction and sold by its finder to a castaway still in the game before sundown on the same day that it was found:
Temporary Hidden Immunity Idols: These idols are only usable for three Tribal Councils after they are purchased.
Safety Without Power: The castaway would be able to leave Tribal Council before the vote, effectively making them immune, at the cost of not voting. This advantage is usable until there are ten active castaways left.
