Survivor Jeopardy

Us vs. Them(e)

100

This theme was the subtitle for a season where former players returned with family members in tow.

Blood vs. Water

200

This biblical story provided the theme for season 37 in which we met future White Lotus showrunner Mike White and future Republican member of the Kentucky state house. 

David vs. Goliath

300

These two generations made up the theme for season 33. Both of them is considered "old" for current players.

Millennials vs. Gen X

400

This theme got its name from the location where booted players headed after tribal council for a second chance, the first time the twist appeared.

Redemption Island

500

Though this season did not have a formal subtitle beyond its location, beloved podcaster Griffin McElroy once referred to it as "Jeff Probst's Race Wars."

Season 13: Cook Islands

Winners at Home (or, This is Not 40)

100

This former winner returned to All-Stars and primarily focused on sexually harassing fan favorite Sue Hawk, which is perhaps why he was not invited back to Winners at War.

Richard Hatch

200

The youngest ever winner at the time, this player also went on to compete on the Amazing Race with her then-boyfriend and fellow winner, Ethan Zahn.

Jenna Morasca

300

This winner endeared himself to Jeff by requesting a nickname on his first day - and apparently it worked. Probst stated: "I can tell you that of all the people we wanted, I would say [this player] is the only one on the list where if he had said yes, would probably have a spot on the show." 

John Cochran

400

This season 21 winner/himbo's pre-season interview claim to fame was "being a rad older brother." Given his mononymous nickname, perhaps he was too busy posing for covers of romance novels to return for Winners at War.  

Jud "Fabio" Birza

500

Winning his season after 26 days on the Edge of Extinction, this player answered Jeff's call about returning for season 40 on his wedding day, and declined.

We Didn't Start the Fire

300

This annual event in Nevada ends with setting fire to a large wooden effigy.

Burning Man

The three elements of the "fire triangle" are heat, oxygen, and this.

Prometheus

The Tribe Has Spoken

100

"My ____ is dead." - Infamous villain Johnny Fairplay relayed that this relative had passed away while he was on the island, a lie to generate sympathy and allow him to win the family & friends challenge in 2003. She actually passed away in February of this year.

Grandma

200

Fan favorite Cirie Fields coined this six-word catchphrase that would become a motivator for many looking to apply to be on survivor.

"I got up off the couch."

300

After laying out the details of a reward, whether it's a tarp or a four-course meal from a relocated Applebee's, Jeff poses this three-word question - no one has ever said no.

"Worth playing for?"

400

"Come on in, ____" - Jeff cut out this word from his traditional welcome to the challenge location after a request from participants to be more inclusive.
