With a Victory on ‘Winners at War,’ Tony Is the Greatest to Ever Play ‘Survivor’

The expectation going into Winners at War was not that we’d be crowning a new Survivor GOAT. That was partially because Sandra Diaz-Twine has worn that crown for so long that she felt impossible to dethrone. But mostly it’s because the all-champions format meant that someone had to claim victory and join Sandra as the only survivor ever to win the game twice. While the all-winners theme meant that the level of competition was high, it also meant the winner wouldn’t have to scale the same obstacles Sandra did back in 2010’s Heroes vs. Villains.
Being the champion of champions isn’t the same as being the greatest.
