Survivor 45 was chaotic and dramatic right away. One tribe was completely destroyed, several people left, there were significant emotional setbacks, intense rivalries, and even a romantic relationship. At the end of it all, our Final Five stand tall, each with a unique tale to tell—from the season’s underdog to the dominant alliance. After what is arguably the greatest game in the modern age of Survivor, only one person remained after the finale.
See below for further details regarding the outcomes of tonight’s grand finale episode.
Who won Survivor 45?
Dee Valladares
Dee acknowledged during the last Tribal Council that she was fortunate to have some Survivor luck on her side. She was able to join the unquestionable majority that controlled the post-merge of the game after being put on Reba. However, the businesswoman undervalues herself. She skillfully constructed a great social scenario toward the conclusion of the season, using her closest allies as both numbers and shields. Dee would often cut down on anyone who posed a threat to her dominance. She also held the record for the most Immunity Challenge victories during the season. She was a master of balance thanks to her unusual feet, and the jury decided to award her the victory.
Who was eliminated on Survivor 45 tonight?
Austin Li Coon
Seventy-two hours before the game started, Austin had no idea he would be playing Survivor. He therefore did not lose time in seizing this chance. The MBA candidate was a franchise in advantages; at one point, she was holding two idols concurrently. He was also well protected in the Reba majority by his top players, Drew and Dee. Regretfully, at the end of the game, Austin started to mishandle the bag. His burgeoning romance with Dee led him to reveal crucial information while simultaneously alienating others. Though he persisted and presented a compelling case for himself, akin to the Boston Rob/Amber showdown he found inspiring, the woman prevailed over the man.
Jake O’Kane
Jake’s path can be reduced to the masks of drama and humor. During the early part of the match, the jovial attorney felt superior to his fellow Belos. However, he fell to the bottom as soon as he attempted, and failed, to cast a tie vote. Since then, Jake has persevered and made it through almost every Tribal Council, even though his name has been called almost every time. Like playing his idol, he tried to seize authority when he had it, but he kept failing. When Jake offered to start making fires, he was able to achieve the uncommon success. However, the jury believed that he was not deserving of the victory because he was constantly so ignorant of the goings-on in the game, therefore that was really the hottest his game got.
Katurah Topps
The thing that many fans will find most remarkable about Katurah on Survivor 45 was how deeply she felt about Bruce. Like her covert legal profession, though, there was more to it than met the eye. She developed ties with most of the Belos, even in times when she thought they didn’t have her back. Consequently, she cast every vote she participated in on the correct side. Katurah was prepared to end the romance and defeat Dee’s top dog in the last five. Nevertheless, she kept Dee in the game out of concern that she was the target and ignorance of Jake’s idol play on her. Unfortunately, Katurah’s move cost them the game. Dee easily defeated Katurah in the fire after winning the subsequent immunity match.
Julie Alley
Julie, the oldest player in the game, entered prepared to play up the “mom” character and conceal her recent profession shift to become a lawyer. But alas, it proved to be a little too successful for “Mama J.” She was identified as the main danger and the unanimous choice at one point. Fortunately, she had a buddy named Dee who gave her the inside scoop on how to play her idol and send Emily home by herself. Jake and Austin discussed ending their relationship with Julie at the end of round five. However, the former changed course once Katurah recommended employing his idol to get rid of Dee. Remarkably, Katurah was the one to stray from that original plan. She cast a vote on Julie, ultimately eliminating her in a raucous 2-1-1-1 vote, out of fear (and ignorance that Jake would use an idol on her).
Was there a reunion show for Survivor 45?
Indeed! Survivor 45 did have a reunion after the winner was revealed, much like seasons 41–44 did, but it did it in a different manner than many of the previous seasons. On the island, the jury votes were read immediately after they were cast. The jury and the finalists then got together to discuss the season in detail. According to host and executive producer Jeff Probst, if the COVID-19 problem had not subsided by the time live events could take place, the decision was first taken on the spot to give the players a chance to debrief.
Will Survivor return for season 46?
Indeed! The first episode of Survivor 46 airs on Wednesday, February 28. For the remainder of the season, there will be two-hour episodes after the first two, lasting ninety minutes each. In early 2024, make sure to visit Parade.com for exclusive interviews with the whole cast during the preseason!
