SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about the season finale of CBS‘ Survivor.
Five contestants, Austin, Dee, Jake, Julie and Katurah, went into the finale of Survivor‘s Season 45. Three hours later, Dee emerged as the sole survivor.
It wasn’t a smooth ride for the Florida native who was on her way out as the first eliminated contestant in the finale but a last minute vote switch by Katurah got Julie booted off instead, with Dee and Austin getting a clear path to the final tribal council.
Katurah payed for her hesitation by getting voted off next. Meanwhile, Dee followed through on her planned strategic moves, culminating in her reveal to Austin and the final tribal council jury that she told Julie about the plan to vote her out. The bombshell and it perfect timing sealed the victory for Dee with 5-3 votes, earning her the title of Sole Survivor and the $1M prize.
