Survivor has been evolving for 21 years, pushing the boundaries and putting the players to the test. From the inclusion of a hidden immunity idol to secret benefits, the game has gotten significantly more sophisticated over the last 40 seasons as well as a game-changing twist
And now, after a 16-month hiatus, Survivor is back for its 41st season, with 18 new castaways and game-changing shocks. Xander Hastings, a 21-year-old Survivor contestant born after the show's premiere in 2000, is one of them, who acquired self-confidence from the show.
Xander has a long history of running, and he plans to get right to work when the starting pistol goes off.

Xander Hastings in Survivor

That man sacrifices everything for his family and especially for me to live out my exuberant adventures and ambitions. He served in the Navy, Peace Corps, and now serves as a prominent doctor in the Jacksonville community. People adore him, most of all me. Above all, he lets me know he's proud of me and supports me in any direction I want to take my life.
- With that comment, Xander Hastings appears to be confident enough to win Survivor.
I will be the final Survivor because I'm the jack-of-all-trades and there's nothing in life that can stop me. If I'm not happy with my situation, I change it and shape the world the way I want to see it. I form deep bonds in every social sphere I encounter and live such a diverse life, there's no one I can't relate to and empathize with. I'm disciplined and won't rest until the million is mine, and no matter what I won't get complacent or cocky."
