Surv!vor: Winners at War

is the fortieth season of Ashley Neleh's ! Survivor series. This season featured twenty one of the ORGs previous winners to commemorate its 40th season and nearly 20 years of history. 
This season also brought back Edge of Extinction twist, last seen in Surv!vor: Edge of Extinction. However unlike last time where players were allowed to volunteer to go to Edge of Extinction or had to get 10 votes cast against them this time after they were voted out the castaways were asked to pick one fellow cast member who they've been at the same tribe. That cast member would choose whether they would let the voted out player go to Edge of Extinction or send them home for good and get fire token and clue to aid their search at camp.
This season introduced "fire tokens", which castaways were able to earn by winning challenges, making sacrifices for their challenge results and finding around camp. The fire tokens were used in addition of another returning twist, the final four fire making challenge (last seen in Surv!vor: Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers, where the amount of fire tokens would determine how much fire build already they would start in case they were chosen to participate in the fire making challenge.
