Unofficial Survivor Legends

For the past 25 years, castaways have arrived on a secluded island to compete for the coveted $1 million prize on one of the most influential shows on American television. But while the iconic format of the game never fails to entertain, there’s one thing that makes each season undeniably unique: the people.

Unofficial Survivor Legends is the first-ever book to tell the stories of these individuals, profiling 50 people who left their indelible mark on fans of the series. There are the geniuses of the genre, like the charismatic Boston Rob and the fierce Sandra Diaz-Twine; the cunning strategists, like the beloved Cirie Fields and the villainous Russell Hantz; and those who brought the show to wider audiences, like Mike White, who credits Survivor as inspiration for The White Lotus. With its focus on the real people behind the characters, Unofficial Survivor Legends is the gift for every fan, featuring full-colour photography and content from exclusive interviews with Parvati Shallow, Richard Hatch, Carolyn Wiger and more.
