Throughout its extensive run, host Jeff Probst has guided the competition through various format and twist adaptations. The show's history is marked by iconic winners, starting with Richard Hatch in Survivor: Borneo. Sandra Diaz-Twine later made history as the first contestant to win the game twice.
Survivor celebrated its 40th season with a special edition, Winners at War.
