After 26 days of minimal food, competing in grueling challenges and dealing with paranoia and back-stabbing alliances on an island in Fiji, the winner of “Survivor” season 47 is finally here.

Rachel LaMont was crowned Sole Survivor in Wednesday’s Part Two finale after receiving the most votes from the jury.

The episode began with four remaining contestants competing in the final immunity challenge. This winner selected the two players who would meet in a fiery challenge to secure the coveted third place in the final Tribal Council.

Teeny Chirichillo, a 23-year-old freelance writer from Manahawkin, New Jersey, lost in the heat to Sam Phalen and became the final juror in the life-changing vote. The jury then selected the finalists they felt most embodied the game’s motto of “outwit, outwit, and outlast,” earning the $1 million prize.
