The ‘Survivor’ winners and finalists in order by season

These castaways made it all the way to final tribal council, from season 1 to season 45 -- how impressive!

Survivor superfans have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to the winners of the beloved competition series, some passing with flying colors (such as J.T. Thomas from Survivor: Tocantins) and some securing their victory by a single vote (such as Wendell Holland from Survivor: Ghost Island).

With “Sole Survivors” aside, the show has had its fair share of could-have-been winners as well, including Ozzy Lusth from Survivor: Cook Islands, Aubry Bracco from Survivor: Kaoh Rong, Dean Kowalski from Survivor: Island of the Idols, and more — some might argue that these castaways were “robbed” of their victory!
