‘Survivor: Winners At War’ Cast

‘Survivor: Winners At War’ Cast — ‘Survivor: Winners at War’ is the 40th season of CBS’ hit reality show, ‘Survivor.’ For the first time in the show’s history, the cast will be comprised of ALL players who have won the game before. There are ten men and ten women competing for a $2 million prize. The game will feature the return of Edge of Extinction, which means players who are voted out will get to continue to live a ‘Survivor’ lifestyle before getting a chance to win their way back into the game. This season will also introduce a new twist — fire tokens. The fire tokens are a form of currency for the players, who will be able to use them to buy advantages. Many of the players in the seson 40 cast have already played the game more than one time, but Sandra Diaz-Twine is the only person to have TWO wins already to her name. Keep clicking through the gallery to check out all the cast members and get caught up on their ‘Survivor’ history.

Ben Driebergen

Ben Driebergen — Ben Driebergen won ‘Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers,’ which was the show’s 35th season.

However, this season was also the first to feature a final four fire-making twist, which meant that two people would have to fight for their spot in the game by being the first to build a successful fire. Ben won, and then went on to win the game.
