We finally have a winner for “Survivor 45.” For those who have been keeping up with the season, it was not a shocker of a victory, unlike past New Era champs like Mike Gabler in “Survivor 43” or Erika Casupanan in “Survivor 41,” which many viewers did not see coming. And while nothing extremely unpredictable happened in terms of the winner reveal, similar to recent episodes of the season, everything leading up to the ending was eye-opening to say the least, particularly with one last-minute vote at the Final 5 that changed everything. Let’s break down the events of this intense finale “Living the Survivor Dream” and the shaky buildups.
Austin Li Coon was quite forgiving of Dee Valladares for not telling him about her plan to blindside his ally Drew Basile last week. In fact, one could say it brought them closer together, to the point where the other three remaining players Jake O’Kane,...

Following Dee Valladares‘ triumphant victory over Austin Li Coon and Jake O’Kane during the three-hour finale of “Survivor 45,” Gold Derby ran a poll asking fans to name who Really deserved to win. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the plurality of our poll respondents agreed with the actual results of the CBS reality TV show. Yep, Dee deserved to win, according to 40% of viewers. Meanwhile, Austin nabbed 31% support, and Jake garnered the remaining 29%.
Dee, Austin and Jake outlasted all of the other players during this 45th season, including fourth-place finisher Katurah Topps (who lost the fire-making challenge) and fifth-place contender Julie Alley (who was the last person voted out). Dee now goes down as “Survivor’s” 18th female winner ever, compared to 27 male champions.

Survivor Season 45 is nearly over, as the three-hour finale airs on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023. The five finalists — Dee Valladares, Austin Li Coon, Julie Alley, Jake O’Kane, and Katurah Topps — are all still competing for $1 million. Recently, the final five spoke to Entertainment Weekly about their experience playing the beloved game. And they agreed that one night in Fiji was the worst.
‘Survivor’ Season 45 finalists agree that day 10 marked the worst night of the season
Survivor is a complicated game, and season 45 brought harsh living conditions and intense strategy. The new era of Survivor has contestants in Fiji for 26 days.

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the final five competitors clarified that day 10 marked their breaking point.
Austin Li Coon found day 10 difficult due to the rain. He also hadn’t eaten much up to that point. “Day 10 was by far the most difficult day physically,...

On Wednesday’s 12th episode of “Survivor 45,” the core four alliance from original Reba was left wondering how, if at all, they’d move forward as a group following the attempted mutiny on Julie Alley. Though they were caught off guard by the results, Austin Li Coon and Drew Basile saw the upside of a universal target in Julie still being around for another vote, but they were blindsided a second time when Dee Valladares worked against them to take Drew out instead. Read on for Drew’s “Survivor 45” exit interview from the end of the episode.
For Drew, the fallout of his failed attempt to oust Julie was marked mostly by a “rage” that she was left in the game to serve as a reminder of what he saw as his only slip up in the game. Up until this point, Drew saw the course of the game as...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Survivor Season 45 Episode 12, “The Ex-Girlfriend at the Wedding.] Fans would have reason to be concerned about Austin Li Coon‘s place in the game based on his major snafu in last week’s episode. But it didn’t come back to haunt him, and Dee Valladares learned from his mistake when the same situation repeated itself in Season 45 Episode 12, the last before the December 20 finale. Their showmance deepened throughout the episode (the penultimate of the season), but feelings only soured between Julie Alley and Drew Basile, the other half of the Reba Four alliance. The season’s strongest majority crumbled in this episode, revealing the Survivor 45 Final Five in the end. Last week, Austin made the mistake of telling Dee that everyone was planning to blindside Julie. Dee played along with the majority, putting her own vote on Mama J, but that was part of their plan. Julie played the...

At the start of the upcoming 12th episode of “Survivor 45,” the Final 6 players return to camp after Julie Alley saved herself by using an idol. She only played the advantage because Dee Valladares warned her she was being targeted, but Julie and Dee don’t want anybody else to know that. As Julie explains, “Dee’s the one that told me everybody was gonna blindside me, but we want to keep that cover that Dee and I are working together. So in order to hide that, we’re acting totally pissed at each other.” Watch the “Survivor 45” sneak peek video above.

“The tribe has spoken” became “Julie has spoken” in Survivor Season 45 Episode 11. After catching wind that she was on the chopping block, Julie Alley played an idol to cancel out every vote against her in Tribal Council. Since every other vote was cast for her, this gave Julie’s vote immense power because it was the only vote that counted. She sent Emily Flippen packing just one night after she staged the stunning Bruce Perreault blindside. It was a sad ending to one of the fan-favorite arcs of the season, but Emily tells TV Insider that she doesn’t see how that Tribal Council could have gone any other way. Emily’s elimination in the December 6 episode was the result of a major mistake made by Austin Li Coon, one of her two closest allies (the other being Drew Basile). Austin and Dee Valladares have been getting closer with every episode,...

On Wednesday’s 11th episode of “Survivor 45,” the core four alliance of original Reba members settled in to their position as the dominant majority within the remaining tribe of seven. Amidst a commitment to remain Reba strong through the end of the game, Emily Flippen became the group’s prime target for the next vote specifically because of her pivotal role in the previous blindside. Despite what looked like a unified effort to flip the game against “Mama J,” Emily fell victim to an idol play that sent her to jury with only a single vote cast against her. Read on for Emily’s “Survivor 45” exit interview from the end of the episode.

One might think that “Survivor 45” has opened up now that the players found a way to finally oust their unanimous target Bruce Perreault, but a core four of original Reba tribe members could control the game through to the end. Drew Basile, Austin Li Coon, Julie Alley and Dee Valladares have remained strong as an alliance and have a majority four votes together while Katurah Topps and Jake O’Kane are remnants of a Belo tribe left in ruins and Emily Flippen fights for autonomy as the last standing Lulu player.
With idols still in pockets and players eager to leave their strategic mark on the competition, the game will either sail lazily on with Reba staying strong or it will swiftly open up on the heels of betrayal. Can Dee and Austin keep their group together or will Katurah and Emily find more cracks to expose? Below are our power...

With the numbers solidly in Reba’s hands, did tonight’s elimination end up being just another paint-by-numbers game move from the dominant alliance?

“There is a chance at the end here that things can get hairy,” Drew informs Julie as they sit on the beach together. “You four are people who I really care about deeply. I just want to know that we are all gonna be okay. Like, we’re good no matter what.” He’s referring to the core four Reba allies — Drew, Julie, Austin Li Coon and Dee Valladares — who have remained loyal to each other since Day 1.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Survivor Season 45 Episode 9, “Sword of Damocles.”] Getting Bruce Perreault out and breaking up the Reba alliance are proving to be Survivor 45’s biggest battles. For two weeks in a row now, Bruce has been on the chopping block but curtailed those plans by winning individual immunity. In both Episode 8 and Episode 9, a Belo woman has been sent home in his place. When Kaleb Gebrewold tried to break up the Reba alliance in Episode 7, he was eliminated. As of Episode 9, the Reba foursome is in an impressively strong spot. Their unbreakable bond and majority alliance allows them to set their sights on a target and eliminate it. With Bruce ineligible for votes, they set their eyes Jake O’Kane and Kendra McQuarrie, who each did something to piss off a Reba member. Jake tried to get Julie out ...

Heading into the ninth episode of “Survivor 45,” Kellie Nalbandian had just been shockingly blindsided at tribal council by a dominant group of ex-Reba and ex-Lulu players. That game move temporarily saved Jake O’Kane (though he still wasted his Shot in the Dark) and made every remaining ex-Belo contestant question their place in the pecking order. So who ended up having their torch snuffed this week?

Last week on “Survivor 45,” viewers (and a few castaways) witnessed one of the most shocking blindsides of the new era as Kellie Nalbandian was ousted over Jake O’Kane. Jake went into tribal council so convinced he was going home that he played his Shot in the Dark, which resulted in a “Not Safe” scroll. But still, he ended up staying in the game when the four ex-Reba members plus the sole remaining ex-Lulu player (Emily Flippen), banded together to send home Kellie. Watch Jake’s fresh reaction in the “Survivor 45” sneak peek video above.
“I’m just like, wow,” Jake tells his fellow tribe mates when they arrive back at camp. “I gotta have positive energy. I mean, I’m in the game. How could I not have positive energy?” In a genius bit of editing, Jake’s excitement is intercut with Kellie’s friend Kendra McQuarrie toasting to her...

The return of the “Survivor” auction. The continuation of the anti-Bruce crusade. Targets shifting before tribal council. Another brutal shocking blindside with a devastated reaction. The latest eighth “Survivor 45” episode, “Following a Dead Horse to Water,” had it all so let’s break down the game mechanics that led up to what was a dramatic exit and see which players are on the rise along with new creative twists to “Survivor” classics.
Before having the “Survivor” auction, all of the players went on a scavenger hunt to retrieve rolls of money on the island; all of them except Bruce Perreault, who took his time and ended up with only one roll of $80, while everyone else had at least $300. Ironically enough, he ended up with the largest amount when the auction was over in a new twist that the person with most money at the end of any round between 6-...

On Wednesday’s eighth episode of “Survivor 45,” everyone was expecting that the Tribal Council vote would be another “dog pile” on a single player, but in a true blindside, the game divided firmly down old tribal lines. The original Reba tribe members held strong and took control of the numbers by finding a great second option in the elimination of Kellie Nalbandian. Read on for Kellie’s “Survivor 45” exit interview from the end of the episode.
Prior to the immunity challenge, a brewing all female alliance had set their sights on taking out Bruce Perreault and Kellie, his strongest supporter, was even (finally) keen on the plan. By this point in the game Kellie had come to see Bruce as her “ball and chain” in the game, dragging down her ability to work with anyone else because of how much of a social game liability he was.

Last week on “Survivor 45,” the merged tribe was shocked to learn they’d be divided into two groups of six. Both groups attended tribal council, where they ultimately voted out Sifu Alsup (who didn’t make the jury) and Kaleb Gebrewold (who became the first juror). This week, the Final 10 castaways come together to learn they’ll be competing in the Survivor Auction for the first time in years. Oh, and someone else will be voted out of the game.

“Survivor” fans have been clamoring for the return of the auction since Season 30: World Apart, which aired in 2015. Well, it’s baaack! Only now, the classic auction has been slightly altered with a trio of fun twists to keep things interesting for the new players. As host Jeff Probst explains to the “Survivor 45” castaways during the November 15 episode, “We have updated the auction for the new era in three ways.”
The first twist is “the money,” Jeff tells the players. In the past, the contestants were given dollar amounts that they could use to purchase items at the auction. Now, prior to the event, they had to find the money themselves in bamboo tubes hidden in the jungle. The most money found is a whopping $900 for Dee Valladares, followed by $700 for Austin Li Coon and Kellie Nalbandian, $520 for Drew Basile, $500 for Emily Flippen, $480 for Katurah Topps, $420 for Julie Alley,...

It was clear last week on “Survivor 45” that Kaleb Gebrewold had his work cut out for him – after being the first player to successfully play his Shot in the Dark and negating the entire merged tribe’s 11 votes against him – if he was going to survive another tribal council in the game. Alas, he could not get it done, though his final nail in the coffin turned out to be an unexpected factor in one player that he was close to, ultimately deciding the direction of the game. In addition, there was another split tribal council with a twist in the jury phase with another castaway being sent home. Let’s break down all the social dynamics in the Top 10 as the merge officially begins.

Following the double eliminations of Sifu Alsup and Kaleb Gebrewold from “Survivor 45,” only four males still remain in the game: Austin Li Coon, Bruce Perreault, Drew Basile and Jake O’Kane. Comparatively, there are still six females left: Dee Valladares, Emily Flippen, Julie Alley, Katurah Topps, Kellie Nalbandian and Kendra McQuarrie. In the upcoming eighth episode, a possible “woman’s alliance” is thrown out as the ladies wonder if they should start “picking off” the men one at a time. Watch the “Survivor 45” sneak peek video above.
It’s the morning of Day 15 at the merged tribe, and Kendra whispers to her fellow girls sitting in the shelter, “We’re the majority in the game right now.”
That prompts Dee to wonder aloud, “I don’t know, maybe we should talk.”

With 10 players remaining in the quest to become “Survivor 45” champ, the competition finally turns to a truly individual game when Episode 8, “Following a Dead Horse to Water,” airs on Wednesday, November 15. In the last two weeks, the merged tribes of Belo, Reba and Lulu had group immunity or were split when it came to the vote, so this will be the first time that every player is vulnerable to elimination. Original Reba, consisting of Austin Li Coon, Dee Valladares, Drew Basile and Julie Alley, have a numbers advantage so long as original Lulu member Emily Flippen and Belo turncoat Katurah Topps continue to work with them. That would leave the remaining Belo players, Bruce Perreault, Jake O’Kane, Kellie Nalbandian and Kendra McQuarrie, as the odd ones out.
Whether tribal lines stick and for how long, there are bound to be peaks and valleys in each player’s struggle to gain power in the game.

On Wednesday’s seventh episode of “Survivor 45,” Jeff Probst threw another twist at the 12 castaways. He randomly divided them into two groups of six and then had them compete for two individual immunity necklaces that would protect them from the two Tribal Councils that would see two players going home. Unfortunately for Sifu Alsup, his group were the overall losers at the challenge and went to Tc first. When he became the choice for elimination, he also missed out on advancing to the juror stage of the post-game. Read on for Sifu’s “Survivor 45” exit interview from the end of the episode.

“Survivor 45” made history once again last week as Kaleb Gebrewold successfully played his Shot in the Dark to a unanimous vote against him, breaking the record with 11 votes cast for him, two more than when Kelley Wentworth back in “Survivor: Second Chance” played an immunity idol negating nine votes against her. Let’s break down what events transpired that led up to this groundbreaking moment as the tribes converged to one beach.
After the ouster of Brando Meyer in the last episode, Kendra McQuarrie was on the warpath and wanted revenge on Emily Flippen for lying to her, and siding with the Reba duo of Austin Li Coon and Drew Basile. The next day, right before the boats arrived to pick the tribes up to unite with everyone, Bruce Perreault was able to find the new Lulu idol underneath the shelter and shared it with the whole tribe, minus Katurah Topps.

Cue the fireworks! There’s a fiery new rivalry forming on “Survivor 45” between bartender Kendra McQuarrie and investment analyst Emily Flippen. As it turns out, Emily’s decision in last week’s episode to vote with Austin Li Coon and Drew Basile in ousting Brandon “Brando” Meyer left Kendra as the odd woman out of the Belo tribe. Due to the betrayal, Kendra now proclaims she wants to “get revenge on Emily.” Watch the “Survivor 45” sneak peek video above for Episode 6.
The promo clip starts out on Night 11 at the Belo camp, just moments after Brando’s exit. Emily starts the fireside discussion by noting, “For what it’s worth, I think we did talk about telling you, [Kendra]. And the only fear was if it got back to Brando and he played his Shot in the Dark. I know that’s not what you expected, and I feel terrible for lying to you.

On Wednesday’s fifth episode of “Survivor 45,” the Belo tribe made their first trip to Tribal Council. As the post-swap tribe most evenly mixed with two original Reba, two original Belo and one original Lulu, the vote was a split decision between which original tribe would be allowed to keep their full numbers in the game. With a gutsy move to sway another castaway in his direction, original Belo member Brando Meyer proved to the others that he was playing too hard and was voted out. Read on for Brando’s “Survivor 45” exit interview from the end of the episode.

What a difference two episodes can make; so far in “Survivor 45,” two tight allies turned on each other, an unlikely pair emerged as a power duo, a player went from the bottom to a major deciding position, and there are new types of advantages and creative ways to retrieve idols. Let’s break down Episode 3, titled “No Man Left Behind,” and the latest from “Survivor 45” as we are about to head into our first tribe swap of the new era.
Starting with the Belo tribe, much has changed within the social dynamics with some cracks in the women’s alliance of Katurah Topps, Kellie Nalbandian and Kendra McQuarrie, with Kendra bonding with Jake O’Kane, and Kellie forming a connection with Brando Meyer, with the latter duo claiming to be in the middle deciding whether to go with the alliance of the men or the women, since Jake is also very close with Bruce Perreault.
