After 48 Seasons, There Are 6 ‘Survivor’ Winners With Ties to New England

"Survivor" just finished its 48th season on May 21, 2025, but sadly there wasn't a New England winner.

There were two potential contenders with ties to the area: Justin Pioppi (Massachusetts) and Eva Erickson (Rhode Island). They battled it out for the season, with Eva making it all the way to the final tribal council.

Season 50 was recently announced, so maybe there's a chance for another New England winner in the future?
