There Have Been Nearly 50 Seasons of ‘Survivor,’ and 6 Winners Are from New England
It's still hard to believe that "Survivor" has been on since 2000, marking nearly 25 years and almost 50 seasons. What an incredible feat.
Countless twists and turns, blindsides, emotional moments, and glorious victories have come from the over 700 people who have played the reality competition game.
Over the years, six New Englanders have managed to beat the steep odds and earn themselves the title of "sole survivor."
Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut have had ties with the winners in the following list.
Sadly, there hasn't been a New Hampshire or Vermont winner... yet!
