Survivor 45 has been an absolute rollercoaster, full of chaos and intense moments. We witnessed the downfall of a tribe, numerous players throwing in the towel, heart-wrenching blindsides, intense rivalries, and even unexpected love connections. Now, as we reach the end, we have our formidable Final Five, each carrying their own captivating journey, from the alpha alliance to the season’s ultimate underdog. After all the twists and turns, only one emerged victorious, showcasing a game so masterful that it can be acclaimed as the pinnacle of Survivor’s new era.
Survivor 45’s winner?
Dee Valladares
As Dee candidly confessed in the final Tribal Council, there were certain Survivor fortunes that played out in her favor.Being put on Reba enabled her to join a powerful majority that controlled the game after the merge. However, the entrepreneur underestimated her own skills. As the season progressed, she skillfully created a strong social strategy, ensuring the safety of her closest allies who served as both loyal followers and protective shields for her. Frequently, Dee’s determination led to the elimination of her competition, while her dominance in Immunity Challenges set her apart in the season. Her exceptional sense of balance, stemming from her unique abilities, proved to be a game-changer, earning her the jury’s ultimate recognition.
Who got eliminated on tonight’s episode of Survivor 45?
Austin Li Coon
Austin learned about participating in Survivor just 72 hours before the game started, and he immediately seized the opportunity. As an MBA student, he strategically capitalized on advantages, even holding two idols simultaneously at one point.Furthermore, he was successfully protected in the Reba alliance thanks to his allies, Dee and Drew, who had his back throughout. Regrettably, Austin’s performance took a downhill turn towards the end. His blossoming romance with Dee led to him unintentionally revealing crucial information and ultimately losing his position within the group.Despite making it to the end and putting up a strong argument for himself, like the Boston Rob/Amber showman admired, the woman emerged victorious over the man.
Jake O’Kane
TJake’s journey can be summarized by the contrasting comedy and drama masks. In the initial phase, as a humorous lawyer, he thrived alongside his fellow Belos. However, his position quickly crumbled when his attempt at a tie vote failed, leaving him at the bottom of the pack. Nevertheless, Jake has shown tremendous resilience, managing to survive numerous Tribal Councils, despite consistently being targeted for elimination. When he held power, he made bold moves like playing his idol, but once again fell short. Jake finally clinched a rare victory in a dramatic fire making challenge, but his lack of involvement ultimately cost him the title in the eyes of the jury.
Katurah Topps
Katurah made a lasting impression on fans of Survivor 45 with her passionate emotions towards Bruce.However, her hidden occupation as a lawyer hinted at a depth beyond what met the eye.By recognizing that Belos was not a reliable ally, she actively nurtured connections with the majority. This strategic move led to her consistently aligning herself with the winning side in every vote. Approaching the final five, Katurah was poised to dismantle the showman and eliminate the dominant force of Dee. However, plagued by the fear of becoming the primary target and oblivious to Jake’s clever idol play against her, she chose to keep Dee in the game. Regrettably, this decision proved to be her downfall. Dee subsequently clinched the next immunity challenge, ultimately casting Katurah into the fire-making showdown, where she suffered a decisive defeat.
Julie Alley
Julie, the most seasoned player, entered the game with the intention of keeping her recent transition to a lawyer hidden and emphasizing her role as a mother. Regrettably for “Mama J,” her strategy worked a little too effectively. At some stage, she became labeled as the greatest danger and the unanimous target for elimination. Fortunately, she was supported by her friend Dee, who advised her to use her idol in order to eliminate Emily on her own. When it was down to the final five, Jake and Austin discussed removing Julie, but things took a turn when Katurah proposed using his idol to target Dee, leading to an unexpected change in plans. Ultimately, it was Katurah herself who surprised everyone by deviating from the plan and voting for Julie, resulting in her dramatic elimination in a thrilling 2-1-1-1 vote.
Did Survivor 45 have a reunion show?
Indeed, just like seasons 41-44, Survivor 45 featured a reunion after the winner was announced. However, this time it was done uniquely compared to previous seasons. The jury votes were read on the island right after they were cast, followed by a gathering of the finalists and the jury to discuss and reflect on the entire season. This creative approach was taken by host and executive producer Jeff Probst to ensure that the contestants would not miss out on the opportunity to debrief, especially if the COVID-19 situation did not permit live events at that time.
