Survivor Winners at War Profiles Part 1

The 40th Season of Survivor, Winners at War, has done what fans hoped they would do for years: bring back 20 winners for the ultimate showdown. Everyone on this cast has a proven strategy that won them $1,000,000, but how will they fare against the best of the best with $2,000,000 on the line? These winners span almost from the beginning of Survivor to its modern era, and while some fans may know everything they need to about these players, here is a refresher for those who have forgotten about some of them as well as an introduction for anyone who is starting watching this season. The 20 former winners competing this season are ordered chronologically by the season they won. This article, as the title suggests, will spoil their seasons so keep that in mind if you are newer to the show or missed a few along the way.

Due to the combined length of these entries, I have split it into 4 parts. This is Part 1 out of 4.

Key

Hit List: Players that the contestant had successfully eliminated either directly, through a split vote (a larger alliance voting against two opposing players to get around a Hidden Immunity Idol), or other means (which will be elaborated on as they come up).

Defeated: Player(s) the contestant defeated at Final Tribal Council, where instead of the remaining players voting, the power shifts to a jury of usually the most recently eliminated players to decide the winner.
