Hundreds of women have played the game of “Survivor,” but who are the most drop-dead gorgeous of all time? We’ve narrowed down the list to the top “Survivor” sexiest females ever, so tour our photos below to see our rankings. Agree or disagree with our picks? Gallery original published March 2020.
-
22. Jenn Brown (Worlds Apart)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Jenn is almost like too cool to actually make our list, but her laissez faire attitude to playing the game is what makes her so attractive in the first place.
-
21. Karla Cruz Godoy (Survivor 43)
Image Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Is there anything hotter than someone in complete control of their own destiny? No, there isn’t, and that’s what makes Karla so sexy. She stealthily took control over her day one tribe and took big risks in her elimination choices all in the spirit of putting herself in a better position.
-
20. Amber Brkich (Australian Outback, All-Stars, Winners at War)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Amber was the All-Stars champion that no one saw coming because of her stealthy play and ability to wrap one of the game’s most notorious men around her finger. Though not exactly a black widow, her cunning and competitive nature increase her allure.
-
19. Courtney Yates (China, Heroes vs. Villains)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Courtney is by far the most intentionally hilarious villains the series has ever seen which makes her truly one of a kind. Her unique ability to bring levity to the nastier aspects of the social game qualifies her as one of the women we’re dying to spend every day with just for the inevitable and endless giggle fits.
-
18. Chrissy Hofbeck (Heroes vs. Hustlers vs. Healers)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Now hear me out here. Chrissy played an unapologetically aggressive strategic and physical game that got her all the way to the final tribal council after she began the game throwing up at the end of the first challenge. That kind of 360 turn around is hot enough, but when it comes from a super mo,? Whew, watch out!
-
17. Sugar Kiper (Gabon, Heroes vs. Villains)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS I mean, there’s no way Sugar’s pin-up princess aesthetic isn’t sexy and it certainly doesn’t hurt that she also has the Betty Boop giggly personality to go with it.
-
16. Shii Ann Huang (Thailand, All-Stars)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Putting aside that she made one of the biggest flubs in Survivor history by openly assuming a merge was upon the game when it actually wasn’t, Shii Ann’s willingness to play the game hard and be a huge threat because of it is why we find her so intriguing.
-
15. Ami Cusack (Vanuatu, Micronesia)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Ami showed a lot of promise as a player when she spearheaded the all-women alliance on Vanuatu, but her failure then and again in Micronesia to live up to her potential doesn’t stop us from drooling over her dedication to the empowerment of other women.
-
14. TIE: Natalie and Nadiya Anderson (San Juan del Sur)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS These ruthlessly competitive twins bookended the second season of the “blood vs. water” theme by being the first voted out and the sole survivor. They represent the cool girl that you love because she challenges your authority and demands that you respect her own. Natalie returned in “Winners at War” and was the first voted out.
-
13. Kat Edorsson (One World, Blood vs. Water)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Kat was never the best at playing Survivor, mostly because she wasn’t quiet enough about her plans to turn on her own allies. But that naivete is what makes her so attractive—it’s like when you see a baby bird struggling to pick up its food and you’re like “aww so cute!”
-
12. Drea Wheeler (Survivor 42)
Image Credit: CBS Dominating her season with pockets full of advantages, Drea was a fierce competitor, but when she was blindsided she left for jury with a huge smile on her face and making everyone at that tribal council roar with laughter with her antics. The mix of humor and strength is an immediate swipe right.
-
11. Andrea Boehlke (Redemption Island, Caramoan, Game Changers)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS At first glance Andrea strikes you as the BFF type, a ride or die friend that will always give you a shoulder to cry on. But then you get to know her as a cutthroat player that while she probably would take a bullet for you, would also equally aim her bullet at you. That kind of dangerousness can drive you wild. Right?!
-
10. Brenda Lowe (Nicaragua, Caramoan)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS I’m not gonna lie—when Brenda asked Dawn Meehan to remove her teeth at the final tribal council I was shocked, mortified and thrilled all at once. That kind of savagery added to Brenda’s appeal which up until then had been mostly characterized by athletic ability and a strong competitive edge.
-
9. Parvati Shallow (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains, Winners at War)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS A self-proclaimed black widow, Parvati successfully did what many women have tried to do through the series history—play the men like a fiddle with deceptive flirtation. And not only did Parvati employ that strategy once or twice, but actually all three times she played, making her the queen of queens and mother to all aspiring spider women.
-
8. Michaela Bradshaw (Millennials vs. Gen X, Game Changers)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS While her castmates mostly hated living with her because of it, Michaela’s outspoken and aggressive personality is just about as attractive as the dominance she showed in physical-based challenges.
-
7. Danni Boatwright (Guatemala, Winners at War)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Obviously a Miss USA contestant and Survivor winner is going to make the list of most beautiful castaways! But she’s not just beautiful—by beating one of the most popular heroines of the game in “Guatemala,” Danni solidified herself as a stealth strategist and supreme social gamer and, well, that’s just hot.
-
6. Cydney Gillon (Kaoh Rong)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Cydney made me include her on this list or she’d beat me up. No, but actually, as a bodybuilder Cydney has one of the sickest bodies ever and she was also really good at standing up to some really awful guys on her season so there’s almost too much to love about her!
-
5. Colleen Haskell (Borneo)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS The original Survivor sweetheart, Colleen is the girl next door that is so nice it’s impossible to not fall for her, but whose sarcastic sense of humor keeps you on your toes.
-
4. Michele Fitzgerald (Kaoh Rong, Winners at War)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Proving that even in a game as competitive as Survivor beauty can beat out brawns and brains, Michele is notorious among superfans as one of Jeff Probst’s least impressive winners. But who cares what Probst thinks, Michele’s unassuming and calm nature is more than deserving of her win and makes her one of the most genuinely beautiful people to ever play.
-
3. Jenna Morasca (Amazon, All-Stars)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Jenna’s place on this list was solidified during her original season when she and Heidi Strobel willingly disrobed during a challenge just for a taste of peanut butter and chocolate. Jenna never shied away from using sex appeal to her advantage and took it all the way to the bank as the champion of the first season divided by gender.
-
2. Amanda Kimmel (China, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS As a part of some of the strongest alliances in series history, Amanda’s most appealing trait is her unwavering loyalty. Just take one look into those big green eyes and you’ll literally trust anything she says (if you don’t melt first)!
-
1. Desi Williams (Heroes vs. Hustlers vs. Healers)
Image Credit: Courtesy CBS Literally the most stunning player in series history, Desi heroically survived a death strike tribe switch, hustled her way into the merge as a huge threat and healed our disappointment in her premature boot by brightening the jury benches up with her bright smile at each tribal council. She’s a true all-around catch!
