Chris Daugherty, a highway construction worker from South Vienna, Ohio, about halfway between Columbus and Dayton, is the only Ohioan to win the title of Sole Survivor and the $1 million prize in the show's 44 seasons.
Daugherty outlasted 17 other contestants in the show's ninth season filmed in Vanuatu, a South Pacific Ocean nation east of Australia.
Applicants are required to be at least 16 years old and have a valid U.S. or Canadian passport.
Filming dates for seasons are tentative, according to the Survivor FAQ page.
