In our recent poll that asked which returning Male champion our readers most want to win “Survivor: Winners at War,” two men essentially tied for the top position: Rob Mariano at 27% and Yul Kwon at 25%. These former winners couldn’t be more different from each other, as Boston Rob is a “Survivor” legend who’s played a whopping four times (and mentored once), while Yul competed just one time 27 seasons ago. Rounding out the top four, Ethan Zohn came in with 16% while Tony Vlachos received 10% support. Do you agree or disagree with these Season 40 poll results? Sound off down in the comments section.

From auditions and rehearsals to balancing personal challenges and professional ambitions, this docu-series shows what it really takes to make it to the floor of the Staples Center in Los Angeles and dance for basketball fans while representing a high-profile, global brand. From what I’ve heard and articles I’ve read, NBA and NFL dancers make very little money. I’ve seen numbers as low as $50 a game.

Rather than selecting returning players unilaterally and listening to fans complain about the latest return for Rupert or a confusing return for a castaway even superfans don't remember, "Survivor" has left the decision somewhat up to America to determine the 20 castaways for Season 31. On Wednesday (May 6) at the end of the latest episode of the less-than-lackluster "Survivor: Worlds Apart," CBS formally announced what had long been rumored across the Interwebs. There are 32 candidates up for the "Second Chance" season. As the word "second" implies, this season will only be open to one-time former players who didn't win, so all of your Hantzes and Ruperts are out. Thank God. Instead, this group of 32 includes contestants going back to original "Survivor: Borneo" runner-up Kelly Wigglesworth. And then there are five candidates from the current season, including two who haven't been eliminated yet, which is either an annoying spoiler or not, but I'm...

She's been called lazy. She's been called a coattail-rider. But no matter what Survivor castaways and fans said about Natalie Tenerelli, it was her passive game play and her unflinching devotion to "Boston Rob" Mariano that earned her a spot in the final three. Unfortunately, these two traits were also her downfall and she received zero votes from the jury (she even came in behind Phillip Sheppard, which is really saying something). The 19-year-old professional dancer spoke with TVGuide.com about why she decided not to throw Rob under the bus, how she feels about the jury's — especially Julie Wolfe's — harsh words and why she wasn't as lazy as people think...

For "Boston" Rob Mariano, fourth time's a charm.
The longtime "Survivor" veteran took home the crown of the series' 22nd season on Sunday, beating out 17 other contestants in "Survivor: Redemption Island." He won a resounding victory, finishing on top of an 8-0-1 vote against co-finalists Phillip Sheppard and Natalie Tenerelli.
Filmed in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, the show's main attraction was the returns of rivals Mariano and Russell Hantz, who was also a previously well-known player. Things didn't go as smoothly for Hantz, as he was the third player voted out. Mariano, once the leader of the Villains tribe in "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," made friends quickly and catapulted himself to the top.
As the winner, Mariano takes home $1 million in prize money and, finally, the ultimate prize in his illustrious reality show career, which also includes multiple appearances (with his wife Amber) on CBS' "The Amazing Race.

It took him four tries, but "Boston Rob" Mariano finally earned the title "Sole Survivor." The 35-year-old outwitted, outplayed and outlasted 17 other players to win the $1 million prize on " Survivor: Redemption Island ." He also won $100,000 after being named "Sprint's Player of the Season." So dominant was Mariano's game play that host Jeff Probst marveled, "In 22 seasons, that’s as close to a perfect game as anybody has ever played." With three previous "Survivor" seasons under his belt, Mariano carefully schemed his way over the course of 39 days. He blindsided his toughest rivals and ended up taking two non-threats -- naive Natalie Tenerelli and unpopular Phillip Sheppard -- to the final two. Sheppard only received one vote from the final jury, and it quickly became apparent that Mariano would win. After Probst read the winning vote, Mariano thanked his competitors and quickly made his way into the studio audience to...

I’ve watched all 22 seasons of “Survivor” and there has never been one that was about one character the way this season was. “Boston Rob” Mariano, one of the most beloved players in “Survivor” history and a 4-time contestant in the game, was the focal point of the entire season.
Even at the end, when Rob was facing off against Phillip Sheppard and Natalie Tenerelli, Nat and Phil defined themselves in terms of their relationship with Rob.

To hear Survivor: Redemption Island's Ralph Kiser tell it, he was one of the last standing members of the original Zapatera tribe because of his honest game play. But looking back, the 44-year-old farmer wishes he had played just the opposite. "I could have lied and done dirty things — and I wish now I had — but I just didn't," Ralph tells TVGuide.com. Kiser also talked about the advice he tried to give to Natalie Tenerelli, why he clashed with Russell Hantz from the beginning and why Ralph thought he wouldn't make it.
