David vs. Goliath As part of the original David tribe, Wilson was initially seen as lazy but he soon became an aggressive alliance-builder, crafting one-on-one allegiances with several players in the game. A tribe swap occurred on Day Ten, putting Wilson on the Jabeni tribe with Torres and three former Goliaths: Natalie Cole,
Mike White and Angelina Keeley. During his time on Jabeni, Wilson aligned with White and Keeley, which would become a crucial fulcrum in the rest of the season. At the Final Six, Wilson won his first immunity challenge of the season. During this time, he strengthened his bonds with Keeley and White, agreeing to a Final Three deal. He went on to win the final immunity challenge of the season, becoming the only player from the season to win multiple immunities as well as guaranteeing his spot in the Final Tribal Council. Since the introduction of the final four forced fire-making challenge, Wilson is the first castaway to win the Final Immunity Challenge, not compete in the fire-making tiebreaker, and go on to win the season. During the Final Tribal Council, Wilson's impassioned speech swayed seven of the ten jurors to vote for him, giving him the title of Sole Survivor. With his victory, Wilson became the ninth winner in
Survivor history to win the game while receiving zero votes cast against them the entire game.
Winners at War He returned to compete on the show's first all-winners season,
Survivor: Winners at War. Wilson was initially a part of the Dakal tribe. While he would receive one vote in both the first two Tribal Councils he attended, he was not voted out. At the merge, Wilson found himself on the bottom for the first couple of votes, before finding himself in a good spot. He won a crucial immunity challenge at the Final Seven, which was needed as he was the target. At the Final Six (before the last Edge of Extinction re-entry challenge), Wilson received an advantage from
Natalie Anderson (who was on Edge of Extinction), which allowed him to give another player a disadvantage in the immunity challenge, and he would need to pay eight Fire Tokens to purchase this. Wilson, who had six tokens, got two tokens from
Michele Fitzgerald and purchased the advantage. He used the advantage against
Ben Driebergen at the immunity challenge. However, Wilson was voted out that night, as
Sarah Lacina felt that his underdog story made him a threat. Wilson was eliminated from the game after failing to win the final re-entry Edge of Extinction challenge. At the Final Tribal Council, Wilson voted for
Tony Vlachos to win. Vlachos ended up winning in a 12–4–0 vote, making him the series' second two-time winner. ==Career==
