Biography

Sandra Diaz-Twine became the first two-time winner in Survivor history and, by her own famous declaration, "the queen." She first triumphed on Survivor: Pearl Islands (Season 7), then won again on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (Season 20), proving her signature "as long as it ain't me" strategy of stirring chaos and steering targets elsewhere was no fluke.

Her loud, fearless, brutally honest style made her a fan favorite across four appearances, which also include Survivor: Game Changers (Season 34) and Survivor: Winners at War (Season 40). Tony Vlachos later joined her as a two-time winner at the end of Winners at War.

Sandra's victories in her first two appearances made her Survivor's original two-time champion, a queen whose scrappy, adaptable game changed how fans think about who can win.

Alliances fans have named

Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
