Adventure of a life time. It's a great opportunity to test myself both physically and mentally. Also, it's a great chance to participate in an amazing game for the chance to be crowned the Sole Survivor and win a million stacks!

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.
