CBS's "Survivor: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire" came down to two highway workers, but only Chris Daugherty was able to drive home with the $1 million prize and a new car.
Daugherty, 33, outplayed, outlasted and outwitted Twila Tanner, 41, in the 39-day contest. Daugherty received five of the seven-person jury's votes. He lives in South Vienna, Ohio, works for the Ohio Department of Transportation (DOT). Tanner works for the Missouri Department of Transportation (DOT).

For the 10th season: There will be 20 castaways (the most ever) and they are headed to Palau, an island nation located in the Pacific. Host Jeff Probst promised "everything the survivors have come to expect will be wiped out in the first 10 minutes."
