CBS's Survivor has had many winners who played with different styles of gameplay but now that the show is coming upon its 15-year anniversary, who is the best to ever play?

The 29th season of Survivor recently concluded with 28-year-old "twinnie" Natalie Anderson winning San Juan del Sur. Her aggressive moves and good social game were enough to compel many Enstars readers to say she was one of the 10 best winners of all time.

While Natalie was certainly a good player, she did not necessarily dominate the game completely. In this way, she was similar to past winners like Tina Wesson (Australia), Ethan Zohn (Africa), Aras Baskauskas (Panama), Yul Kwon (Cook Islands), Parvati Shallow (Micronesia), Sophie Clarke (South Pacific), Denise Stapley (Philippines) and John Cochran (Caramoan).

Among dominant players, some of which rode their way to victory, were Richard Hatch (Borneo), Brian Heidik (Thailand), Tom Westman (Palau), Earl Cole (Fiji), Todd Herzog (China), J.T. Thomas (Tocantins), Rob Mariano (Redemption Island), Kim Spradlin (One World), Tyson Apostol (Blood vs. Water) and Tony Vlachos (Cagayan).

Some players chose to go with under-the-radar games and still managed to win, including winners like Vecepia Towery (Marquesas), Jenna Morasca (Amazon), Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands and Heroes vs. Villains), Amber Brkich (All Stars) and Natalie White (Samoa).

Other winners had to recover from huge deficits but managed to make their way to the end and win. These winners include Chris Daugherty (Vanuatu), Danni Boatwright (Guatemala), Bob Crowley (Gabon) and Fabio Birza (Nicaragua).

One of the more compelling facets of Survivor is how so many different styles of gameplay can allow a player to get to the end and win. While fans tend to favor winners who dominate the game, each of the above winners could make a strong case for why they truly deserved to win Survivor.

Meanwhile, Survivor: Worlds Apart premieres on Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
