Maryanne Oketch Wins Survivor Season 42! Mike Turner is The Runner Up! Romeo Escobar is the 2nd Runner Up! Maryanne -SOLE SURVIVOR Mike -2nd/18th Romeo -3rd/18th
The sweet irony of Maryanne's victory is how doubted she was all season "she's way too loud" and "she can't keep a secret." She kept the biggest secret of the game and revealing it during final tribal council secured her win. 🔥💸
@@fernandaauzoategui2347 She revealed during the Final Tribal that she's had the merge hidden immunity the entire time. She pulled it out to show the jury and explained her strategy on securing her Final 4 spot without even having to use her idol. The jury was extremely impressed.
@@lizseg1954 100%. She got votes because she’s a woman and one of colour. I’m South Asian and could see this a mile away. Mike deserved the win but didn’t because Survivor has gone full liberal. The same with Erika last season. I think I might quit watching this show. The players with merit who deserved the wins aren’t winning anymore. And the winners keep playing the gender & race card because they can’t win otherwise. Pathetic.
I feel like if Cirie would’ve been at any FTC she would’ve had this performance. Maryanne persuaded 7 people to vote for her instead of Mike and pretty much dominated and answered every single question honestly. She may be one of the best person EVER to dominate the FTC. I always say, it doesn’t matter how you start, but it’s how you finish.
She was an absolute rockstar! From someone who felt so misunderstood early on, or like she was "too much", she laid it all out at FTC. Her idol was the ace in her pocket. And the beauty is, this cast was so strong. A case could be made for any of them to win it. When the competition is that high, to come out on top just proves how deserving she is. This cast was so good. (*I'm still bitter Cirie never made to a FTC*)
Don't get me wrong, Maryanne's FTC was amazing, but you should see the FTC of the first season of Australian Survivor, the winner went from almost no one voting for them to basically sweeping the jury their performance was so good.
I've watched this multiple times over the last few months... and each time I sob. It's astonishing that she is only the second black female winner in the show's history, crowned 20 years after Vecepia. And so deserving! She was true to herself and played hard. She cemented her legacy in Survivor history.
Some fans don't get it. Survivor is all about TIMING. Maryanne's gift was perfect timing. For her quintessential move in getting out Omar. For her getting Mike to play the idol on her so she didn't have to reveal hers. For the coup de grace of revealing her idol at FTC. It was all perfectly timed. Many survivors forget good moves are nothing without timing.
You're saying it like it was her plan all along but he wouldn't make any move if not for Mike and Jonathan telling her about Lindsey's idol and wanting to go after them. Kudos for winning but if she ever comes back can be easily voted off at the beginning.
@Josh Kolbo i wouldnt say it was absolutely terrinle, just had some glaring issues, mainly the edit, some twists we saw this season, and people found some parts of the season to be too woke. Though I believe the cast itself is great and has some all star people many hope to see return one day
@Josh Kolbo it's not horrible bit yeah I also would say the edit is POORLY distributed. We got so much of beasts and movemakers and most of them were eliminated. Then the actual winner who playef the best game got an edit similar to Natalie White's except that Erika won challenges and reminded us about her lamb to lion story which was her highlight.
@@jdm6613 Jonathan, Maryanne, and Mike was my ideal final 3. I was heartbroken when Romeo won, knowing one of the three people I'd been rooting for all game would be losing their shot. Super happy Maryanne still won in the end, though.
I feel bad for Mike. I think he was a little disappointed at the end, he thought he was going to win and I don’t blame him for that. Hope he comes back for another season in the future.
@@hanna554 we see it all the time somebody claims to play with honor and integrity but then when they betray somebody they refuse to admit they lied and weren't honorable. Mike saw his mistake and tried to backpedal but at this point it was too late. If Mike had owned his game he would have had it
Truth be told, other than wanting someone out, he pretty much was a follower in my opinion. I don't think he came up with anything substantiable at all, but I could be wrong. He was however a really sweet adorable guy, his family is blessed.
Lindsey summed Mike up with her comments about how its okay for him to do certain things, but anybody else besides Johnathan, becomes a target with that guy. In other words he was cocky and arrogant as hell-o. The right person won
@@gayleholmes9081 mike had every right to act like that though. He had people thinking into that he was in their back pocket but whole time he was calling the shots. Mike should’ve definitely been the Winnie’s over her. Mikes game outplays maryanne one play she made during the end.
@@Mikey_Mike1 my wife watches this bullshit and we couldn't stand her. She played the race card constantly. Hope she goes broke faster than any of these winners.
She was the ONLY person that saw how sneaky and back stabbing Omar was. In his off camera interviews, he ripped all the players apart, he wasn't a nice guy and the way he clowned Mike....classic!!
Saw her as annoying and probably a solid member of a alliance but she not only did what most players don’t have the balls to do by taking out her closest Allie who would definitely win but she also made great improvements to her game like her social game
She observed and she learned and what I found so enduring about her, she's sitting around with the others; just soaking up the moment, the atmosphere, the ambiance, the ppl, and she said this was the happiest she's been in a long time....Maryanne clearly has a story to tell us all someday and I hope despite her journey, things are gonna get a whole lot better for her and her family.
That is what I noticed too. Maryann was so young and wanted others to like her. She was nice and bubbly all the time. Her game improved with each vote and I could finally understand her game play at the end.
@@froglor4 I said her edit was not overbearing. Tony had an obnoxious edit in both Cagayan and Winners at War that taints his victory. Maryanne was never shoved down our throats since the edit was balanced.
Excited to be seeing the finale in Australia tonight but had to spoil as I couldn''t wait. I'm so happy for Maryanne, loved her from Day 1. Congratulations from an Aussie fan!!
Also from Australia and couldn't wait until tonight. Wasn't surprised she won she killed it socially and played some great moves along the way. Well deserved
I'm so glad she won! She was without a doubt my very first pick and favorite to win!! She definitely deserved it. She was very underestimated and is without a doubt one of the most loving And sweetest people to win!!!! She played with heart and took the win!!! Way to go Marianne!!! You are now officially my favorite survivor winner EVER!
That's why I don't understand why she wasn't one of the fire makers. She's loved by all and was underestimated. He should've let Maryanne and Mike compete for the final seat.
Brandon, I absolutely agree with you. From the moment she was introduced to fans, I saw something very special and engaging about her and the fact she had so much insecurities about herself and how the others found her annoying, made me root for her even more. But without a doubt, this by far was the best Survivor Ever....no back stabbing, no pettiness, just pure survival genre' to win. Hate seeing the season end!!
I liked her but there is no way she played a better game than Mike. Never won a challenge. Made one play the entire game. But We know why they voted for her. No one wanted to be the “racists” that voted for Mike.
Are you serious? This cast was pathetic. Couldn't finish challenges, crying constantly and used their race at every turn. Rocksroy was voted by a tribe of homosexuals and minority males and Drea still had the audacity to make a race issue.
@@craigneeve61 Absolutely, they finally figured it out.....keeping score, back stabbing and whining is a lost cause....BECUASE DISPITE THE MILLION, ITS STILL JUST A GAME!!
2:00 What awesome reactions!!!!! Chanelle, Rox-Roy, Tori and Hai look like their country just scored a goal at the world cup! This was an excellent cast. So so so so happy that Mary-Anne won. I do hope Romeo is proud of himself too.
Romeo was one of the worst players ever. He literally didn't do shit. He was only cast because he's gay. Maryanne personality was fake AF and annoying. Mike deserved the win but no way would they let that happen.
@@briancarney1827 For those of us who are tired of the back stabbing, the constant lying and trickery, dispite what you think, everything played out perfect and the right person won. Mike spent the entire season listening to other ppl's ideas, like Maryanne, he made one darn good move and won ! challenge. So take a chill pill and relax
@@briancarney1827 It was in Mikes hands. He had the chance to articulate himself. He had the chance to be accountable at final council. If anything, he was poor at Jury management. You suggest Mary-Anne was fake? Mike 'loved' everyone. You watch the season back and tally up how many times he exclaimed 'Í love you guys' to his alliance, and then proceeded to knife them all in the back. The jury wanted him to justify his actions, his moves, his general gameplay. He couldn't. If you can't perform at final council, you won't win. Period! Mike was also Omar's puppet for a week or so. It was pretty embarrassing to watch. Also I feel sorry for you that you think embracing diversity is all about tokenism, and an attack on fairness. The real world is echoed into and through the game. What is amplified depends on the dynamics of the groups formed in the game. If you're a racist, a chauvinist or homophobe?? New world survivor is not for you.
Am so happy she is a Kenyan and a luo,she reminded me of how I was bullied got zero interest from people,always doubted myself .always an under dog and when people treated me bad I felt like I deserved it..she gave me the voice and am happy
All of her post interviews have her smiling, engaged and so happy and she's finally met that skinny white boy she was craving.....I think she's in love.
First time I’ve ever cried when the winner of Survivor is announced (and I’ve watched almost every season). Maryanne deserved this win so much. I am so happy and emotional at the same time. You did it Maryanne!
Right on, right on...that beautiful sister deserves every nickle of that million and I hope and pray her family heals from her win. And I would bet my last dollar, she has waiting for her at home, a whole lot of haters of her past that wish they had been kind...Karma!!
@@randalcquebedeaux314 of course you’ll get hate for daring to post this comment. Just like the “outrage” she had seeing the first two members of the jury were black. She even gave up her immunity idol because of the cruel injustice. Fast forward a few tribals and she happily voted out the only other black contestant left. Diversity at its finest! And notice how every woman and person of color voted for her. Just like last season when the white guy dominated the season and got snubbed at the end. All in the name of diversity. White men shouldn’t even bother playing Survivor. In todays woke society they don’t stand a chance.
@@maxxh5331 in addition, here is my other comment: this was the single worst final result in survivor history. mike deserved it 300% and this fucking sympathy came through. nobody thought about how her “plan” she explained was fully luck based and worked only because of crazy random circumstances if anybody responds to this with beef, i can explain that. this is disgraceful and simply ridiculous. these last 2 seasons have crowned the wrong winners, especially this one. in the end, mike played one of the best games ever and maryanne’s “strategy” was no strategy and all luck. survivor is getting on my nerves
Can’t believe Mike didn’t win. I really liked Maryanne’s personality and character but I feel Mike did more throughout the game and outplayed everyone else. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to articulate his points very well and it cost him.
+Aiden Neill Did you listen to that jury at all? Yes, Mike voted people out, but he did so after giving his word to them. And he didn't just _own_ that he played with less integrity than he claimed. With the hammering he got, he was NOT going to win.
Truth be told, I don't remember Mike doing anything but protecting Johathon and himself and listening to everyone's game....he never really had anything going on for himself and like Mayanne, never won anything...The right person won, if not on personality alone.
Mike would’ve won if he owned what he did. He wasn’t playing with honest or integrity. Had it went into FTC and came clean saying yeah I didn’t keep my word, cause it’s game, I wanted to win. He would’ve definitely won.
I'm very happy for Maryanne, she was my favorite all season. I just wish they still revealed the winner like they used to before Covid...surrounded by a live audience, the full cast and their families.
@@gayleholmes9081- they don't have to fly anyone anywhere. They send each family equipment with instructions how to set it up and they can be televised live and watch the winner get crowned.
I agree, he was by far the jaw dropper in all this and his sadness over being dropped by everybody, but MaryAnne, thank goodness made me cry and the tribunal. He's the great comeback kid and he's so good looking, gay guys look out
So did I, so did I and as much as I was team Maryanne from the begining, her win just made me proud of my wide nose, my dark skin, my naps...and I'm 63 years old!!
I was a Mike and Lindsay fan from the beginning, and neither one of them won. I am somewhat upset about that, but tis the game. Maryanne won, and I hope to see players like her, Omar, and Lindsay again. (And maybe Jonathon). ONWARD TO 43!
Congrats to Maryanne. When she had her _huge_ meltdown over Jackson, whom she'd only known for two days, getting evacuated, I doubted that she'd have the emotional fortitude needed for the game. I was especially bewildered when I read the spoiler saying that she would win. But she just proved me wrong week after week after week! Her moves as the game went on, particularly in the endgame, were excellent, and her jury performance was beyond expectations! Well-earned victory!
she didn’t know him only for two days, with the casting process, and quarantine. she’d probably knew him for a good 2-3 weeks. and knowing how hard it is to get casted in Survivor
@@morangirls No, that's _exactly_ what it was. Everyone else on Taku just looked sad for him, but she burst out into tears like he was dying or something.
Romeo Romeo Romeo…where art thou brain Romeo? Why wouldn’t you face off the 2 best liked competitors for the fire challenge and give yourself a better chance with the judges??? C’mon! I mean, fire challenge is unpredictable and Maryanne could’ve won it but that little bit of strategy could’ve helped win some points with the judges regardless of the turnout. As soon as Romeo saved Maryanne I knew she was gonna be the winner….but I gotta say that Maryanne taking out Omar was genius and she played a great social game.
I think Romeo knew he was a looser too. Especially after Maryann gave him a hug for picking her. It was as if MaryAnn knew being up agaisnt Romeo would secure her win.
Great job Maryanne! I knew it was gonna be her or Lindsay when they were both in the final 5! I also like how she reminded the jury of the fact that Zach, Swati, and Lydia were voted out before the jury, and they're all under 25 like her.
Not even close, Xander was perceived as a goat by F6 at least. Hell DeShawn even got 2nd over him. Mike HAD an opportunity to win, but he stupidly played his idol on an already safe Maryanne at F5. Was out of the FIC first within a minute and didn't own his game whatsoever at FTC. Terrible end game for Mike. Maryanne positioned herself so well after Omar went home she had a winning F3 combo with every person left (maybe not Lindsay)
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett if this is your argument, I'd invite you to stop watching this show then. If you hate the "wokeness" you should've stopped watching after Season 4 where Sean and Vecepia had almost the exact same conversation both Maryanne and Drea were involved in this season. No? Then I'll unfortunately see you next season premiere. Hypocritical like always these casual fans.
They showing that respect now but they counted her out the whole time. They all think they were smarter than her. There is wisdom in not always trying to prove your your strength.
@@gayleholmes9081 why did they all want to vote her out than if she didn't do anything they would have brought her to the end like romeo they knew she would have easily won
I knew Johnathon was never ever gonna win....he's the typical brainless muscle beach guy. When it came to puzzles, he'd stop and just watch the others...LOLOLOL All he would do is set up Mike to make the moves and keep his hands clean. Same thing with Mike.
@@randalcquebedeaux314 I don't remember her playing the race card but gave a speech about how it wouldn't be right for their people to send another black player in a row.... You should re-watch that episode :)
@@tripped_and_fell_into_his_bed We are dealing with an idiotic stan who gets offended by every person of color especially women who play better than his flop fav here. The greatest advice for them is to just let them stay mad and pressed af as Maryanne Oketch enjoys her life with her money. Hopefully Jonathan will get some endorsement so he doesn't have to go back to his job of being a pedophile's bodyguard.
I'm happy for Mary Anne. She somehow became A LOT LESS annoying in the past few episodes and really played the game well. Was it as good as Erika's last season? No where near close, but it's still a heartfelt moment to see her succeeding at a brutal social game, especially knowing her backstory that she wonderfully told in her final tribal speech. Mike also played a wonderful game, and I'm glad he at least received one vote has he does not deserved to be tied up with Romeo, who no doubt played one of the best third place games since Laurel in Ghost Island. This season overall was on par with the previous one, but there's still SO MUCH to fix.They need to go back to 39 days, live reunions, no more hour glass twist, and need to remove the lose your vote twists. Jenny was no doubt one of the most robbed players in history due to those omitted votes despite having the numbers. This might be a new era of Survivor, but it still feels no where near like the real thing when you watch better seasons like David vs Goliath and Cambodia.
So proud of Maryanne for winning but also all of our fellow Canadian Participants, Canada has definitely got some strong players and hopefully I can be one of them one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How utterly stupid that Romeo didn't force maryanne to make fire. Odds are she would have lost and been a non factor. Romeo didn't stand a snowball's chance in Hades of winning and I believe Mike would have edged out Jonathan for the win. I've watched this show since it's inception and believe these last two (41 & 42) are it's worst. It's become overly complicated and far too politically correct for a huge portion of it's formerly loyal viewing audience. One last thing of note.....I believe the entire cast would have drowned if Jonathan hadn't pulled them all out of the drink. Too bad he couldn't solve a puzzle to save his life.
She deserve maryanne i was pulling for her. It seem drea did not like maryanne but Maryanne answer her question and nailed the million dollars it back fire on drea.
Truthfully MaryAnn irked my nerves whole season. However, when Drea told MaryAnn to "keep doing her" It made me think Drea seen some type of potential.
They fucking had the reunion immediately after the votes are read AGAIN! Romeo and Mike looked dead during the entire aftershow. Probst is playing with fire eventually there's gonna be someone who is sick of his shit and just beats his ass.
The sweet irony of Maryanne's victory is how doubted she was all season "she's way too loud" and "she can't keep a secret." She kept the biggest secret of the game and revealing it during final tribal council secured her win. 🔥💸

I think he knew the whole time.

Lol no she didn't 22o27
Why is that astonishing?
I'd say the 20 of 22 years but yes, racism doesn't exist
It's pure coincidence that the one black woman to win in 20 years didn't deserve it. How "dare" YOU bring race into it, *slurs*
She cemented as the only winner who won by being black. 😂😂😂
She fucking NAILED that final tribal. So happy she won
Racism won. It’s really sad
She didn’t give a bad answer

2:00 What awesome reactions!!!!! Chanelle, Rox-Roy, Tori and Hai look like their country just scored a goal at the world cup! This was an excellent cast. So so so so happy that Mary-Anne won. I do hope Romeo is proud of himself too.
he did good in the end, should be
Romeo is a doll, when I saw how handsome and fine he looked afterwards, WOW. What a cutie.
Romeo was one of the worst players ever. He literally didn't do shit. He was only cast because he's gay. Maryanne personality was fake AF and annoying. Mike deserved the win but no way would they let that happen.
@@briancarney1827 For those of us who are tired of the back stabbing, the constant lying and trickery, dispite what you think, everything played out perfect and the right person won. Mike spent the entire season listening to other ppl's ideas, like Maryanne, he made one darn good move and won ! challenge. So take a chill pill and relax
@@briancarney1827 It was in Mikes hands. He had the chance to articulate himself. He had the chance to be accountable at final council. If anything, he was poor at Jury management. You suggest Mary-Anne was fake? Mike 'loved' everyone. You watch the season back and tally up how many times he exclaimed 'Í love you guys' to his alliance, and then proceeded to knife them all in the back. The jury wanted him to justify his actions, his moves, his general gameplay. He couldn't. If you can't perform at final council, you won't win. Period! Mike was also Omar's puppet for a week or so. It was pretty embarrassing to watch. Also I feel sorry for you that you think embracing diversity is all about tokenism, and an attack on fairness. The real world is echoed into and through the game. What is amplified depends on the dynamics of the groups formed in the game. If you're a racist, a chauvinist or homophobe?? New world survivor is not for you.
MARYANN IS THE SOLE SURVIVOR! She played a great game and deserved the WIN. CONGRATULATIONS!
This is like the 10th time i’ve watched this and i’m still crying 😭😭❤️
I'm at work, with my head phones on plugged to my Iphone and I watch the Tribunal, over and over and over, its a classic or should be
SHE ABSOLUTELY SLAYED
And the way she address the council PRICELESS!!
Am so happy she is a Kenyan and a luo,she reminded me of how I was bullied got zero interest from people,always doubted myself .always an under dog and when people treated me bad I felt like I deserved it..she gave me the voice and am happy
YESSSS MY NUMBER ONE PICK WON!!!!
Yas queen maryanne best birthday gift ever good job maryanne all hail the new queen 👑 you made all Canadians like Erika proud good job girl
Congratulations. Maryanne
Here for our kenyan girl maryanne 🇰🇪🇰🇪💪🏿
This girl has really good social instinct about person and situations, as well as the ball to engage, she is a sniper rifle in rough camouflage.
All of her post interviews have her smiling, engaged and so happy and she's finally met that skinny white boy she was craving.....I think she's in love.
I'm so happy she won. Outsmarted them all
First time I’ve ever cried when the winner of Survivor is announced (and I’ve watched almost every season). Maryanne deserved this win so much. I am so happy and emotional at the same time. You did it Maryanne!
The racist won. Open your eyes to the truth
@@scotttavernier720 troll
Gay.
Not at all. Black jury voted for the black. It’s disgusting. America is very racist. 98% are black
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett I am, and proud.
QUEEN. So proud of her! Black power! Girl power! ✊🏿
Right on, right on...that beautiful sister deserves every nickle of that million and I hope and pray her family heals from her win. And I would bet my last dollar, she has waiting for her at home, a whole lot of haters of her past that wish they had been kind...Karma!!
@@gayleholmes9081 Tis' a shame the US government will tax her and take half her winnings..... She does deserve every nickle.
Yep that is what is always about. Always race. Black woman must win. Why can't it just be about the best player? Which she was not!
@@randalcquebedeaux314 Deal with it! Lmao. SHE IS A WINNER. Bye, Felicia!
@@randalcquebedeaux314 of course you’ll get hate for daring to post this comment. Just like the “outrage” she had seeing the first two members of the jury were black. She even gave up her immunity idol because of the cruel injustice. Fast forward a few tribals and she happily voted out the only other black contestant left. Diversity at its finest! And notice how every woman and person of color voted for her. Just like last season when the white guy dominated the season and got snubbed at the end. All in the name of diversity. White men shouldn’t even bother playing Survivor. In todays woke society they don’t stand a chance.
Very happy for Maryanne
YAS MARYANNE OMG
2 Canadian queens win in a row! Erika, now Maryanne!
Canada is gay.
the 1st and 3rd least deserving winners too. wow
@@LukiePookiePatootie You're crazy, but do tell us who the 2nd is.
@@maxxh5331 the winner of samoa. shocker i don’t remember her name. (sarcasm)
@@maxxh5331 in addition, here is my other comment:
this was the single worst final result in survivor history. mike deserved it 300% and this fucking sympathy came through. nobody thought about how her “plan” she explained was fully luck based and worked only because of crazy random circumstances if anybody responds to this with beef, i can explain that. this is disgraceful and simply ridiculous. these last 2 seasons have crowned the wrong winners, especially this one. in the end, mike played one of the best games ever and maryanne’s “strategy” was no strategy and all luck. survivor is getting on my nerves
OHHHHHH MY GOSH CONGRATULATIONS MARYANNE YOU DESERVED IIIIIIIT!!!!!!!! WOOHOOHOOHOOEY!!!!!!!!!!
No she didn’t she played a bad game
Maryanne slayed with her FTC answers 👌🏽
Can’t believe Mike didn’t win. I really liked Maryanne’s personality and character but I feel Mike did more throughout the game and outplayed everyone else. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to articulate his points very well and it cost him.
+Aiden Neill Did you listen to that jury at all? Yes, Mike voted people out, but he did so after giving his word to them. And he didn't just _own_ that he played with less integrity than he claimed. With the hammering he got, he was NOT going to win.
Truth be told, I don't remember Mike doing anything but protecting Johathon and himself and listening to everyone's game....he never really had anything going on for himself and like Mayanne, never won anything...The right person won, if not on personality alone.
Mike would’ve won if he owned what he did. He wasn’t playing with honest or integrity. Had it went into FTC and came clean saying yeah I didn’t keep my word, cause it’s game, I wanted to win. He would’ve definitely won.
Mike played a shit social game
@@PintheDog So what...Maryanne actually did nothing!! Revealing an idol she never used whoopee!
I'm very happy for Maryanne, she was my favorite all season. I just wish they still revealed the winner like they used to before Covid...surrounded by a live audience, the full cast and their families.
Me too. I'd love to see the reaction of Maryanne's family. They could've televised this from each of their homes . They did it before.
well, this was shot in middle of COVID-19 last year and they had no idea if things were going to get better enough to shoot with a live audience.
@@Clockerrs11 I still wish they could've somehow incorporated the families via video. I would love to see Maryanne's family watch her win.
CBS like most are cutting cost, has nothing to do with Covid, Its very costly to fly entire families out to view this.
@@gayleholmes9081- they don't have to fly anyone anywhere. They send each family equipment with instructions how to set it up and they can be televised live and watch the winner get crowned.
Mike played a great Survivor game, but as soon as Maryanne pulled out that idol--it was over.
Even if they're not reading the votes live, the jury capture the feeling of the live
One of the most likeable winners ever.
I am happy she won. I am also happy for Romeo.
I agree, he was by far the jaw dropper in all this and his sadness over being dropped by everybody, but MaryAnne, thank goodness made me cry and the tribunal. He's the great comeback kid and he's so good looking, gay guys look out
WHAT. A. GAME.
I screamed like a little girl when Maryanne one.
Really? I screamed with disgust when Mary Anne won! She is annoying and fake.
Me too. I was so mad a woke racist won!
So did I, so did I and as much as I was team Maryanne from the begining, her win just made me proud of my wide nose, my dark skin, my naps...and I'm 63 years old!!
She showed that black can be just as beautiful inside as well as outside
BIG PROUD MOMENT
@@dennismclaurin1487 she was a racist. Open your eyes dolt
As soon as she mentioned her idol I knew she won
I was a Mike and Lindsay fan from the beginning, and neither one of them won. I am somewhat upset about that, but tis the game. Maryanne won, and I hope to see players like her, Omar, and Lindsay again. (And maybe Jonathon). ONWARD TO 43!
Congrats to Maryanne. When she had her _huge_ meltdown over Jackson, whom she'd only known for two days, getting evacuated, I doubted that she'd have the emotional fortitude needed for the game. I was especially bewildered when I read the spoiler saying that she would win. But she just proved me wrong week after week after week! Her moves as the game went on, particularly in the endgame, were excellent, and her jury performance was beyond expectations! Well-earned victory!
she didn’t know him only for two days, with the casting process, and quarantine. she’d probably knew him for a good 2-3 weeks. and knowing how hard it is to get casted in Survivor
Huge meltdown? She cried out loud just like she talks loudly. She is a loud person. It's not like she's sobbing hysterically asking "why god why".
@@morangirls No, that's _exactly_ what it was. Everyone else on Taku just looked sad for him, but she burst out into tears like he was dying or something.
@@cloudzvibes4177 The castaways aren't allowed to speak to each other until they get on the island. So yeah. Just for two days.
@@PintheDog you're the one overreacting now. 🤷♀️
ICON
IM BAWLING MY EYES OUT FOR HER IM SO HAPPY
A woke racist sjw won. Kudos
So happy she won. She wanted to become an inspiration for women of black color and show them that they can do well in Survivor 🙌🙌🙌
Was the last one vecepia?
Wow that was long.
@@maikayee246 yes, Vecepia is the first woman of black color to win Survivor. Maryanne is the second.
Two underdog won. Many never thought Maryanne or Erika would win. They were both at the bottom. Then they rose. They both deserve it.
Omg I’m so happy for her💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
SAME
Maryanne deserves this win. Well done!! And she is the second black woman to win Survivor!
Romeo Romeo Romeo…where art thou brain Romeo? Why wouldn’t you face off the 2 best liked competitors for the fire challenge and give yourself a better chance with the judges??? C’mon! I mean, fire challenge is unpredictable and Maryanne could’ve won it but that little bit of strategy could’ve helped win some points with the judges regardless of the turnout. As soon as Romeo saved Maryanne I knew she was gonna be the winner….but I gotta say that Maryanne taking out Omar was genius and she played a great social game.
I think Romeo knew he was a looser too. Especially after Maryann gave him a hug for picking her. It was as if MaryAnn knew being up agaisnt Romeo would secure her win.
I agree 100%. Romeo chose the wrong fire starters. This is credit to Maryanne. She made herself look less threatening til the very end.
CRYING RN IM SO PROUD OF MARYANNE
She a woke racist sjw
Did you help raise her? If not, you have no reason to feel pride for HER accomplishments.
Great job Maryanne! I knew it was gonna be her or Lindsay when they were both in the final 5!
I also like how she reminded the jury of the fact that Zach, Swati, and Lydia were voted out before the jury, and they're all under 25 like her.
Playing it with perfect timing will surely make you win. Congrats maryanne
I'm teary-eyed watching this .
So happy for her.
Break out the 'Com'on Marianne ' song by the 4 Seasons!!
Very happy for Maryanne, but totally shocked that Mike didn't win and wasn't even close. I guess Mike just got the Xander edit of the season.
Not even close, Xander was perceived as a goat by F6 at least. Hell DeShawn even got 2nd over him.
Mike HAD an opportunity to win, but he stupidly played his idol on an already safe Maryanne at F5. Was out of the FIC first within a minute and didn't own his game whatsoever at FTC. Terrible end game for Mike. Maryanne positioned herself so well after Omar went home she had a winning F3 combo with every person left (maybe not Lindsay)
@@LockhartX99 - Xavier lost because he was the wrong color in this woke era.
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett no he just sucked explain to me what he did explain to me why deserved to win
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett if this is your argument, I'd invite you to stop watching this show then. If you hate the "wokeness" you should've stopped watching after Season 4 where Sean and Vecepia had almost the exact same conversation both Maryanne and Drea were involved in this season.
No? Then I'll unfortunately see you next season premiere. Hypocritical like always these casual fans.
W season W winner W cast
AND BEST OF ALL ROMEO DIDN'T WIN!
I never imagined he would make it all the way to the end.
Not one vote
More chance of a pink cow from the sky landing on Jeff’s head at final tribal than Romeo winning
Maryanne for the Win!!!!🎉🎊
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS, Maryanne, congratulations🎉
Great winner with a solid game and AMAZING final tribal performance!!
They showing that respect now but they counted her out the whole time. They all think they were smarter than her. There is wisdom in not always trying to prove your your strength.
Great season with a great winner !
She totally deserved this win. I'm glad she didn't take Lindsey. That would've really diminished her as a winner
She wouldn't be the winner if she took linsey she made the right decision not bringing her
Not really, Lindsey was just another Johnathon. Super at the games, but outside of that, what did she do on her own to get ppl on her side or out?
@@gayleholmes9081 why did they all want to vote her out than if she didn't do anything they would have brought her to the end like romeo they knew she would have easily won
@@dx-dragon4399 All she did was want ppl gone, like Johnathon. But never got the support of anybody... What kept her safe was her immunity wins.
I want to see like half that cast come back in future Allstars seasons.
Just fell in love with her.....so happy that she won. I agree...she's my favorite survivor winner. Congrats Maryanne!
I totally thought Mike was gonna win,I love Maryanne and I’m glad she won
She was racist. Sad they get away with this
Mike played a better all around game. Just blew his speech. Still think he deserved the win though.
Team Jonathan here, pretty bummed he fumbled the fire
@@jdm6613 Yeah if Jonathan was able to beat Mike he would have taken it home
I knew Johnathon was never ever gonna win....he's the typical brainless muscle beach guy. When it came to puzzles, he'd stop and just watch the others...LOLOLOL All he would do is set up Mike to make the moves and keep his hands clean. Same thing with Mike.
Congrats Mary
So happy for Maryanne! OMG she deserves it!!
I'm glad she won, too
@@dennismclaurin1487 mhm
She desereved to win❣
Absolutely hated Maryanne at first but the last final 3 episodes she took over and I found myself mad that they were even considering Mike
I'm rooting for Erica since day 1 and she won, and also rooting for Maryanne since day 1 and she also won. Woooow😱
Wanna get together and buy a powerball ticket.....LOL
Go girl!!!!
There were a lot of good noble players but I'm so glad Maryanne won.
She was the my favorite player. Two season in a row. Called it!
I loved when that idiot Romeo tried to make a big deal about throwing away the fake idol that no one believed he had anyway.
I can't believe he actually did that 🤦🏾♀️
LOL
@@jdm6613 L😂L....
@@thrshwll1526 L😂L
Yes slay it ❤
Well deserved, she played perfectly in the last couple of votes. Great job, deserving winner after not so much last season(My opinion) .
Yess i totally agree. This cast was def more memorable than season 41
I thought Mike played really good and he should of won.
Mike was good, decent and honest dispite what they said, BUT MARRYANN, WAS BRILLIANT.
NOT!!!
Mike played a better game Maryanne had a better tribal I also feel like mike winning fire wasn’t even taken into account.
Imagine being this delusional
@@antmsurvivorpokemon1 Imagine playing the race and victim card and always crying to get the sympathy vote.
@@randalcquebedeaux314 I don't remember her playing the race card but gave a speech about how it wouldn't be right for their people to send another black player in a row.... You should re-watch that episode :)
@@tripped_and_fell_into_his_bed We are dealing with an idiotic stan who gets offended by every person of color especially women who play better than his flop fav here. The greatest advice for them is to just let them stay mad and pressed af as Maryanne Oketch enjoys her life with her money. Hopefully Jonathan will get some endorsement so he doesn't have to go back to his job of being a pedophile's bodyguard.
LETS FCKN GOOOO
SO HAPPY
I'm happy for Mary Anne. She somehow became A LOT LESS annoying in the past few episodes and really played the game well. Was it as good as Erika's last season? No where near close, but it's still a heartfelt moment to see her succeeding at a brutal social game, especially knowing her backstory that she wonderfully told in her final tribal speech. Mike also played a wonderful game, and I'm glad he at least received one vote has he does not deserved to be tied up with Romeo, who no doubt played one of the best third place games since Laurel in Ghost Island.
This season overall was on par with the previous one, but there's still SO MUCH to fix.They need to go back to 39 days, live reunions, no more hour glass twist, and need to remove the lose your vote twists. Jenny was no doubt one of the most robbed players in history due to those omitted votes despite having the numbers. This might be a new era of Survivor, but it still feels no where near like the real thing when you watch better seasons like David vs Goliath and Cambodia.
You are the first person I met who likes season 41 more than 42
And the Do or Die twist needs to go immediately
Wth everyone in the survivor universe agrees 42 is million times better than 41
Erika's game was shit, too. #TeamXander
Maryanne played a far better game than Erica. Erica arguably did better pre-merge, but Maryanne blew Erica out of the water overall
So proud of Maryanne for winning but also all of our fellow Canadian Participants, Canada has definitely got some strong players and hopefully I can be one of them one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maryanne’s edit will go down as one of the best winner edits ever. The way you as a viewer even doubted her was amazing.
This is the only winner who won because she is a slave. 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit your face
@@methuz2304 I’m getting the type of small dick energy that can only be matched by loneliness and Marlboro Red.
@@vin0143 Nyahaha!! Small dick? You guys are enslaved by every race. No dick is smaller than that 🤣🤣🤣
After Lindsay got voted out I knew she was going to win I just though it would of 4-3-1 vote not 7-1
I think people overestimated Mike's chances tbh.
Although I think Mike played a better game, Maryanne just articulated her points so much better than Mike. Good job Maryanne.
me who saw the spoilers at the start:
I was rooting for Maryanne or Jonathan to win and blessed Maryanne got that win.
OMFG IM CRYING 😭😭😭😭 MARYANNE IS A LEGEND ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How utterly stupid that Romeo didn't force maryanne to make fire. Odds are she would have lost and been a non factor. Romeo didn't stand a snowball's chance in Hades of winning and I believe Mike would have edged out Jonathan for the win. I've watched this show since it's inception and believe these last two (41 & 42) are it's worst. It's become overly complicated and far too politically correct for a huge portion of it's formerly loyal viewing audience. One last thing of note.....I believe the entire cast would have drowned if Jonathan hadn't pulled them all out of the drink. Too bad he couldn't solve a puzzle to save his life.
I was bummed he didn't win
Season 42 had the best cast for at least 5 years that alone puts the season in top 20 regardless of the producers motives
YES MARYANNE!
Zach must be a proud hubby
What a queen
I feel sorry for jhonathon
This cast was awesome. Everyone played their heart out and did it all with a great attitude. I hope a lot of this cast comes back to play again.
She deserve maryanne i was pulling for her. It seem drea did not like maryanne but Maryanne answer her question and nailed the million dollars it back fire on drea.
Truthfully MaryAnn irked my nerves whole season. However, when Drea told MaryAnn to "keep doing her" It made me think Drea seen some type of potential.
Mike was the real winner!!! Just like Xander was the real winner last season!!! Both guys got robbed!
Mike speech wasn't good hurt his game
I'm a fan of this show good 👍
They fucking had the reunion immediately after the votes are read AGAIN! Romeo and Mike looked dead during the entire aftershow. Probst is playing with fire eventually there's gonna be someone who is sick of his shit and just beats his ass.
