Winning immunity challenges has become an integral part of Survivor and there’s an elite group who are in the Survivor record books for how many they’ve won in a single season.
The male record for individual immunity wins is five in a season, with five different men managing to reach that milestone. For women, four is the magic number, and four ladies have been able to pull off that feat. That list includes the show’s most recent winner, Rachel LaMont, who was victorious in season 47.

Colby Donaldson — 5
Season 2 runner-up Colby Donaldson was the first “challenge beast” on Survivor and won individual immunity five times in his first season. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to beat out Tina Wesson’s social game at final tribal council.

Tom Westman — 5
Tom Westman was the winner of season 10 after combining a killer social game with being an immunity challenge threat. His final 3 immunity win against Ian Rosenberger will go down in history – the men bobbed in the water on buoys for nearly 12 hours before Ian jumped in the water and told Tom to take Katie Gallagher to the final 2 as a way to repay Katie for his betrayal earlier in the game.

Ozzy Lusth — 5
Ozzy has played Survivor four times and was consistently a threat in immunity challenges, but his first time on the beach was when he tied Colby and Tom’s record. However, he still lost to the season 13 strategic and social threat – Yul Kwon – and finished as the runner-up.

Kim Spradlin — 4
Kim’s performance on season 24 of Survivor has gone down as one of the most dominant in the show’s history. Part of that was due to her threat level in immunity challenges.

Chrissy Hofbeck — 4
Chrissy was 46 years old when she played on season 35 of Survivor, but that didn’t stop her from dominating individual immunity challenges against players who were all younger than her. She finished the season as the runner-up.

Rachel LaMont — 4
After starting out on the bottom of the merged tribe on season 47 of Survivor, Rachel battled her way to the top with help from some clutch immunity wins. Once she emerged as a huge threat and big target, she won the final two challenges to earn her spot in the final tribal council where she took home a win.

Rob Mariano — 4
Although he never made it to five wins in a season, Rob holds his own unique record by winning four individual immunity challenges in a single season TWICE. He did it the first time during season 8, then finished the game as the runner-up. In season 22, he did it once again, but this time he also mastered the social part of the game and was named the winner.

Jud ‘Fabio’ Birza — 4
Fabio was the winner of season 21 and being a beast in the immunity challenges definitely helped him make his final tribal council argument.

Joe Anglim — 4
Even though Joe came in eighth place on season 31 of Survivor, he still managed to squeeze in an impressive four immunity wins before getting voted off. He won all four challenges consecutively and probably would’ve gone home even sooner if he hadn’t.

Ken McNickle — 4
Ken had a noteworthy immunity run on season 33 of Survivor, but it wasn’t enough for him to score any votes at the final tribal council against Adam Klein.

Rick Devens — 4
Rick Devens was favored to win season 38 of Survivor, partly thanks to his impressive immunity challenge skills. However, when Chris Underwood returned to the game from the edge of extinction and won immunity, he decided to put himself in the fire-making challenge against Devens and ultimately sent the fan-favorite home in fourth place.

Kyle Ostwald — 4
Rachel’s season 47 immunity run was partly due to the tribe voting out Kyle Ostwald, who was the original immunity challenge threat of the season. He won four challenges before his ousting in eighth place, which set the scene for Rachel to start taking control.
