MOTHER DESERVED THAT WIN!!

honestly, well deserved dee. you had people eating out of your hands, and they let you skate to the end. that's mad social skills, and you should be proud of that. dee stands for dominate, and that's what you did

DEE VALLADORES is one of the most dominant female winners that excelled in all 3 aspects of the game. Such a fun run to watch it all unfold. Congratulations, Reina Cubana ! 💪🇨🇺

The 7-1-0 vote is finally broken, for now.

Austin only knew he was coming on Survivor 72 hour before he actually did, he played a great game!

Emily voting confessional had me rolling. She’s will be angry at Dee if she spends 1 penny of the million bucks on Austin.

I can’t believe this was a close vote…Dee is def one of my favorite winners we’ve had in a long time!

It's refreshing to have a close vote after seasons of predictable demolishings. Even though I wanted Austin to win, I think not playing his idol on Drew was his losing move.

Yes! A 5-3 vote! My wish came true!

Fun fact: if we’re not counting territories, 4 of the 5 new era winners were born outside the U.S, Gabler being the only exception

Dee genuinely played one of the best games I’ve ever seen. Herself, Drew, and Austin were very strong players. What a season.

MY HEART WAS POUNDING, DEE IS ONE OF THE BEST WINNERS

Yup yup! She absolutely deserved it. She’s a top tier winner for sure and so was this season tbh! Hopefully they all 3 come back for an all stars season that would be a bloodbath! Overall loved itttt

Great winner to top off the best season of the new era! Dare I say Dee is the best social winner since Jeremy Collins

Honestly, Dee is up there on Parv Kim and Lacina’s level.

such a queen legend yayyy dee 🥳🥳 i loved this season and the cast and i’m really happy with this outcome, it was pretty well telegraphed that dee was the front runner coming into this finale but with how crazy and unpredictable final 5 vote was we didn’t need an unpredictable winner, instead we got the best winner since tony and imo a pretty top tier winner so that’s awesome. my winner pick austin nearly won as well so that’s fire. excited for 46‼️

Best winner of the new era & top 3 female winner overall! Much deserved Dee! Love you girl!!! ❤️🥳🥳

Happy for both, Dee winning and Austin for getting 3 votes

I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!! This was such a great season regardless of the win, but Dee winning propels this to one of my Top 10 favorite seasons!!! Dee is also a Top tier winner for playing such a great social game and making the right moves at the right time. One of her best decisions was to not blow up Austin and Drew when she and Julie caught them idol hunting. She also slayed it at Final Tribal by pulling one over Austin with the Emily blindside and staying true to herself and owning that her heart and her hamead are one and the same and she managed to use both to propel her game forward! This was a great season with an incredible cast and a more than satisfying endgame!

Watching a close vote feels so fulfilling! Imagine if Katurah is there and not Jake-might have stolen some votes.

Congrats Dee! Such a respectable game play this season. Well deserved! 👑❤️

i almost picked her as my winner pick because i had a strong feeling about her the moment i saw the leaked cast, but i went with katurah instead. regardless, a very deserving winner and i’m so happy she won.

Im not even gonna lie katurah sold so hard. She literally had jake swear on his grandmother that he was gonna vote jake and then voted julie. Even if jake didnt play his idol on katurah dee still wouldve gone home.

Congratulations Dee!!! Well deserved win. I was a bit nervous since I thought it might end on a tie. Anyways, S45 is definitely a top tier in this new era.

WOOOOO GREAT JOB DEE I LOVE YOUUU ❤❤❤❤❤

Honestly, once I saw the intro I suspected Dee was the winner, her name is the only one who appears on top of the screen, while everyone else names appears down

SHE WAS MY FAVORITE FOR SO LONG I WAS GONNA CRY IF SOMEONE ELSE WON

Yeah Dee as in Delicious taste of victory.

Congrats to Dee very well deserved

They've said that they are The Rob-Amber in the new era.. and that's the hint of how the votes gonna go in the finale.. (I knew Dee-Austin got 5-3 votes compared to Amber-Rob 4-3 votes, but if we didnt count Caleb's vote, as the 1st member of jury, the votes gonna went 4-3 too)

Back to back latin winners 👏 Vamos los latinos!!

It still sucks that the non-jury members won't be w/ the jury members & final three in my opinion @ the very end of it

Just a few months ago I wrote a comment about how some of the things that made survivor so special and memorable to me had began being removed Like the "survivor theme song", survivor auction and the live show with an audience.........I don't know if someone actually read that but damn am I super glad that the theme song is back and the auction ( even better than before)....just glad someone out there finally decided to bring these factors back 🎉🎉🎉now all we need is the votes being read Infront of an audience it was always awesome watching them involve the audience and the long last episode of going through great plays and individual players that stood out and survivor favourites and stuff ............I just love this show so much, i cannot get enough of it. .........On that note! I would love to see Kaleb (Sn 45) back in the next seasons to come, such a phenomenal player, deserves a second chance....I kinda miss Joe too😅

really good season loved it start to finish!!!!

🎉🎉 she played well

i love this season :)

Emily's confessional tho LOL 😂😂😂

NOOO 7-1-0 WE WONNNN

Omg the tension between the 4th and 5th Dee votes was SOOOO GOOD Jeff let it linger for just the perfect amount of time!! I love this vote reading music sooo much glad they have kept it since s41. Dee did amazing and glad it was a close vote!!

Love it for Dee

I LOVE HER YES YES

LONG LIVE THE NEW QUEEN 👑 (congrats dee, but austin losing was a punch in my gut 😞)

Congrats 😊

Favourite season ❤

So if the mat chat theory didn’t fit this season…I guess Survivor 45 is one to add to the “the last person on the opening credits theory to win Survivor”. Congratulations Dee! 👸🏽🤙

A great season and, finally, a fantastic close vote to finish the season off! Dee was very deserving and this final 3 was great with no duds nor passive players!

Jake did good at least he gets something great he gets money too I hope he plays again

I think Emily is going to be in Florida ASAP.

Everyone complaining about “cutting your biggest ally” and it’s a polarizing topic. This is an example of why you have to. Julie and Dee made lots of moves together which would have siphoned votes from her. Being able to differentiate and articulate her game and how she controlled Austin (and not giving Julie a chance to rebuke that at FTC) nabbed her the win

So Dee only used Austin? Damn! D belongs to the Bin.

This was a great cast! Not a lot of gameplays due to Belo not being in synced, but I agree with Jeff that this is a season about relationships and secrets. Definitely one of the top 3 in the new era!

New queen crowned Looking forward for future play l

Us Always Sunny fans always knew Dee would win the bird theme season.

I think this is the first season (that I can recall) where all 3 of these players deserved the win. It was a crazy season, but Dee definitely deserved it.

Jake should pat himself in the back, he did a great job surviving and not giving up despite all the lows he went through, he is a true survivor and he should be proud

Kaleb making Penner proud

I wanted Austin.

One of the greatest seasons of all time

congrats to dee tho dominant solid winner, was rooting austin & kaleb right from the start but yeah what a fun crazy legendary season lets gooooooooo

Kendra: votes for Austin Also Kendra: jumps up and down when Dee wins.

If it couldn't be Emily, Dee was the only option. Glad it worked out for her

Katurah handed Dee a million bucks

SURVIVOR 45 CHAMPION DEE 3:20 3:21

Good job Katurah, Julie and Emily. You three handed D one million bucks!

Just finished season. Damn, I would have preffered Jake's victory. At least, it's not Austin. Overall, great season

tbh i was kinda hoping jake won

I was rooting for Austin or Jake because Dee’s win would be predictable, but I’m still happy she won. It’s been a great season.

Congratulations to Dee! However, I cannot put her win on the same level as Kim or Parvati’s wins, aka dominant wins. More than once, she could have been taken out with just one more vote with her name on it, none more evident at F5. She barely survived that vote. But she totally owned Austin on Emily’s final question at FTC. That answer won her the million dollars, imo….

Never has a cast been so strategically inept that I got frustrated. 99% fodder, this season had the least savvy players in the history of the show. Produced arguably the worst player in all 45 seasons in Katurah, and the rest of the cast made increasingly mind-boggling decisions to the point where I wondered if this was all a setup and they were all playing for Dee to win. Excruciating pre-merge with two quits right off the bat, excruciating post-merge with the Belo tribe being awful to Bruce and pagonging themselves out of the game. Even the “best” players (Emily, Drew, Jake) were incredibly strategically inept. The only good player out of the whole season is winner Dee, who is the most predictable survivor winner ever, to the point where she was playing the best game but I didn’t want her to win out of sheer boredom.

Fucking called it!!!!

Good season not have bitter jury. Thx God. Poor Cassidy S43.

Emily still slayin even to the bitter end

Katurah not sticking with her promise to Jake cost momma Julie the win.

Dee won the second she told Julie to PLAY THE DAMN IDOL! 😂

I was genuinely more surprised that is wasn't a 7-1-0 vote

1. Jake telling Austin about the idol 2. Katurah voting Julie over Dee, should have been other winner now 3. Katurah not even get a fire 4. Dee winning, not favorite but no choice after Jake and Katurah's game plays

Dee deserved this win!! She was able to take the shot at Drew when it was open. And when the 2 Belo players had the chance to take her out next, they missed. Then Dee just ran away with the win and $1 million. Austin played well, but let his emotions get in the way when he told Dee about the first attempted Julie blindside. He got more votes than I think he deserved. Jake was the perpetual underdog who did everything possible to flip the game his way, but could never do so. Love his drive and I hope we get to see him play again.

I'm glad it wasn't an Obvious, wipe out. I'm pretty okay with the final three this time. This actually wasn't that bad of the season Compared to the last couple.

I was rooting for Dee and Austin and I’m happy Dee won! Also I disliked Katurah a lot, she was a very jealous person. I didn’t like how she talked bad behind Bruce, Dee and Austin. Glad she lost.

National Championship

3:15

1:04

What would have been the outcome if the vote was 4-4 even

21st October 2023

Best winner of the new era? What about Yam Yam?

EMILY ATE 💀💀💀

At least Austin isn’t an awful person, he never helped somebody cheat on their partner when they had kids, he’s the real winner

Yeah Jake truthers kept flooding Reddit with the same take and it’s just like, he had no chance. Not to say I dislike the guy it’s just, things just never went his way.

Austin wasn’t supposed to be on the season?

ANTHONY KIEDIS WINS !

I feel like Dee had a boring edit. I get the feeling she is sassier in real life and that was edited out to ensure her as a likable winner. But thats silly. I would have preferred Dee shown in all her spunk

Happy no more 7-1-0 and pick ur fighter jake or Owen 🤣

Who voted Austin to win

Jake should have won he had the hardest fight in what we call “survivor” it shouldn’t be easy . Dee and austin had each other 2 vs 1 it was too easy for them . They deserve each other tho didn’t like neither of them . I did like jake a lot he fought hard to stay in when he could of crumbled

WHAT HAPPENED IF THAT KATURAH VOTE DEE IN FINAL 5?? DO YOU GUYS THINK JULIE WINS?

She had this in her bag. But Austin got three. Bullshit

They tried to play lip service to Latino representation this season by only casting 1 but instead they ended up with the second Latino winner in a row.

Once again disappointed!! Austin should have won!

jake was robbed

Im going to say something a bit controversial, i think that recent seasons lack in terms of winners that are memorable. Some can argue that Gabler was one of a kind. Like when i think of winners. Boston Rob and Yul come to mind, it just seems that the casting in recent seasons has been a bit one off and not as memorable as the season that came before it. A good example of this is the season where Gabler won. Plus, right now there are no specific themes to the gameplay and the entire season as whole which makes it seems bland and boring, where as the Heroes vs Villians and Edge of Extinction seasons actually contribute to the entire plot of the season.
