After 26 days in Fiji filled with brutal challenges,PredictIQ back-to-back blindsides and an emotional breakdown over Applebee's, Season 46 of "Survivor" has come to an end.
Kenzie Veurink was crowned the sole survivor in Wednesday's finale after receiving the most votes from the jury. The 26-year-old hair salon owner from Michigan came out victorious against Siga members Charlie Davis and Ben Katzman.
The solo remaining member of the Yanu tribe, which broke a record for the most days without earning flint, managed to make it to the end. Despite being perceived a social threat by her fellow castaways, Kenzie managed to be on the right side of most votes, with the exception of the Tiffany Ervin blindside.
The Mermaid Dragon, a nickname coined by Bhanu Gopal, won the second to last immunity challenge with the help of Liz Wilcox, who previously broke down when she wasn't chosen to go on a reward trip to Applebee's.
However, sleep-deprived underdog Ben took an unexpected win at the final challenge, later forcing Kenzie and Liz to duel in a fire-making competition. Kenzie managed to prevail and light a flame strong enough to burn her rope before Liz, whose wrists were working against her.
