Survivor season 50 ends on May 20
The show has produced 47 winners since its debut in May 2000, with Sandra Diaz-Twine and Tony Vlachos receiving the title of Sole Survivor twice
Dee Valladares, Kyle Fraser and Savannah Louie were the three winners who returned for the historic 50th season of Survivor
There are fewer than 50 people in the world who can say they hold the title of Sole Survivor.
Since Survivor premiered on May 31, 2000, the tribe has spoken hundreds of times — and only 47 contestants haven't had their torches snuffed.
On May 20, the long-running CBS reality competition show will wrap up its historic 50th season, which featured an all-star cast spanning the series' 25-year history. Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans has a $2 million prize on the line thanks to Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson doubling the winnings during a surprise episode 10 cameo appearance.
Hosted by Jeff Probst, the series follows contestants through a series of challenges, twists and the dreaded Tribal Council, where a group anonymously votes out one of their members at the end of every episode. Yet the best twist of the show comes when the remaining players reach the final Tribal Council and must earn the jury's votes, a.k.a. the players who were most recently voted out of the game.
Many of the show's memorablewinners— including "Boston" Rob Mariano, Parvati Shallow and Richard Hatch — have gone on to compete on other competition series, like The Traitors, The Challenge and Deal or No Deal Island.
So, where are the Survivor winners now? Here's everything to know about their lives today.
Richard Hatch

Hatch became the first-ever Sole Survivor in August 2000, gaining recognition for forming the show's first alliance.
He returned to play Survivor for 2004's All-Stars season and later appeared on shows like The Celebrity Apprentice and The Biggest Loser. Most recently, he starred in the second season of E!'s House of Villains, where he came in 10th place.
Though he hasn't returned to the franchise since 2004, Hatch provides commentary on the series on his YouTube channel and told Keloland Livingin February 2026 that he would be tuning in to season 50, as he's "never missed an episode" of Survivor.
In 2006, Hatch was convicted on two counts of attempted tax evasion and one count of signing a fraudulent tax return after failing to report his $1 million Survivor prize and other smaller sums. He served over four years in federal prison, then was sent back to prison for nine months after he failed to amend his previous tax returns, per Entertainment Weekly.
In 2017, Hatch and his partner, Emiliano Cabral, split after 14 years of marriage, according to Extra.
