There have been five all-returnee seasons in Survivor history. Let’s rank the five from worst to first!

While it’s become more common forSurvivorto bring back popular players, there have only been five seasons that have been all-returnee seasons.MicronesiaandCaramoanmight have had half the cast be filled by returning players, but it still gave us some new players in the process.

Before we dive into the rankings, let’s work through the history of all of the all-returnee seasons.

When it first happened withSurvivor: All-Starsback in 2004, it really felt like the firstAvengersmovie. It was surreal seeing all of our favorites come back and compete on the same playing field.

It took six years for another season of just returning players withHeroes vs Villains, which served as the show’s 20th season. It’s a theme that would be nice to see return because it was a lot of fun.

In 2015, fans were treated toCambodia(also known as Second Chance), which had a cool premise that allowed fans to vote who got to return for another shot at winningSurvivor. The pool of players wasn’t the most impressive, but the ability to pick and choose who we wanted to see again was neat.

After taking 12 and 11 seasons apart between all-returnee seasons,Survivorhad another returning players season shortly after withGame Changers. The title did not match the cast list to say the least.

Lastly, there wasWinners at War, which pitted 20 former winners against each other. It was aSurvivorfan’s ultimate dream.

So, where will these seasons end up on these rankings? Let’s take a look.
