You might need to grab your box of tissues tomorrow night when 'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 returns. 

Ten players remain on 'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 vying for the $2M and the title of the greatest. While most of us around the world are stuck indoors because of the current coronavirus pandemic, the series is putting the game aside for a moment as they reunite the castaways with their families on Episode 10. 

Titled 'The Full Circle', the series will bring the castaways' families to the island where most of them had already come prior when they first appeared on the series. 

Over the past seasons, we have mostly seen only one loved one of each castaway arrive at the island and reunite with them. This season, however, the series went all out and brought the entire family of each castaway and that includes children of the contestants who are married.



 

Taking to Twitter, fans affirmed they were already crying and could not wait to see the episode tomorrow. "Got my tissues ready to go. This one is going to be very emotional!" a fan wrote. Adding to that another said, "STOP IT IM ALREADY CRYING." 

"Damn... I cried seeing the pictures. Wednesday I'm gonna be a mess," a fan shared. While another added, "Thanks for the heads up, now I have at least 1 day to mentally prepare myself for this." 

Some fans also questioned if the castaways on Edge of Extinction will get to see their families as well. "Crying already. Really hoping EOE gets to see their kids too," a fan wrote. Another fan wrote, "Would love to see same family reunion for EoE."

"One of the episodes I look forward to the most!! Can’t wait to cry!" a fan said. While another wrote, "YOU GUYS BROUGHT THE WHOLE FAM??!?!!!! My heart!!!!!" 

"Omggg that’s so sweet do the people on EOE get loved ones?? Bring Rob & Amber’s four daughters. And Nadiya!" a fan wrote. Another added, "After so many years spent talking about the loved ones episode, I fully expect to see @BriceIzyah out there for @wendellholland if the EoE players get loved ones Eyes #RHAP #Survivor #Survivor40." 

Apart from that the series also revealed they will air a virtual reunion on May 13 because of the pandemic. Though the sole winner will not be there to collect his/her $2M, we can't wait to see how the season comes to an end. 

'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 airs every Wednesday night only on CBS. Check your local listings for more information.
