Season 45 of the thrilling CBS reality show reached its pinnacle on December 20, concluding with the coronation of Dee Valladares as the victorious Sole Survivor.
The 26-year-old entrepreneur clinched the title in a tight 5-3-0 vote against formidable opponents Austin Li Coon and Jake O’Kane. Just before the final tribal council, Katurah Topps and Julie Alley bid farewell, missing their shot to plead for the coveted $1 million prize.

Dee’s triumph stemmed from her stellar performance with three individual immunity wins, adept social skills, and genuine connections forged throughout the season. Her strategic masterstroke of discreetly tipping off Julie about the vote plan, unbeknownst to Austin until unveiled in front of the jury, stood as a defining move.
In a light-hearted moment post-vote, Austin quipped, “Girls outplayed the guys this time! All in good spirits!”
Choosing her showmance partner, Austin, as the final contender after securing the last immunity, Dee set up a fiery showdown between Katurah and Jake in the fire-making challenge. Jake’s victory bolstered his shaky performance in prior challenges, offering a much-needed boost for the Boston lawyer’s resume as they entered the decisive tribal council.
Despite Jake’s redemption, Dee’s prowess overshadowed his efforts, proving that in the modern era of Survivor, a monumental move or idol isn’t always the key to victory.
The season finale tantalized fans with a sneak peek at Season 45, promising extended 90-minute episodes starting February 28, 2024, continuing the show’s captivating journey.
