winning survivor is a dream for many of us fans and heck even if you're not a fan of survivor it's
obviously a pretty good day when you add a million dollars to your bank account and are now known by
millions of people as a survivor winner in all the 41 seasons of survivor winner reveals it's
usually something pretty similar unfortunately nowadays a lot of players know they have won
by the time the finale rolls around and have a pretty tame reaction compared to what it could be
some players have your basic i can't believe it face followed by a celebration
and recently due to the world events we've had winners be announced on camera
and on the island 40 seasons after richard hatch was initially announced the first survivor winner
in this very same way so with the exception of season 39 all other survivor finales have been
filmed in front of a live studio audience and with this being live tv we see legit reactions
that can't be edited around and these raw emotions of winning survivor is literally watching a dream
come true on live tv which leads to some great winning reactions what's going on guys i'm flint
masters and today we'll be looking at the five greatest reactions to winning survivor whether
these reactions were emotional funny or just plain authentic these reactions are just one of the many
things that makes survivor great as someone's life just changed for the better and it's not every day
we get to see someone's raw reaction to winning a million dollars with that said let's talk about a
couple honorable mentions now while the reaction itself isn't that great without question the most
emotional win in survivor history is adam klein's win in survivor millennials vs gen x his reaction
is simply him crying and hugging the finalists and his relatives but all season we had heard about
adam's struggles and playing for his mom causing some incredibly emotional moments and after season
33 finished filming adam knew he had won the game and got home just in time to tell his mother
that he indeed won survivor as unfortunately she died within hours after he returned home simply an
unreal and insane emotional ending to a dream come true you also have to love both ethan and todd's
reaction to winning survivor ethan's reaction was just simply awesome it was completely unexpected
from a guy like him and we were also surprised by the audience cheering in the background after
he was announced the winner as survivor made it look like the votes were being read on the island
three votes ethan you need just one more
the winner of survivor
africa and then todd the first true survivor super fan to win the game had a reaction i think many of
us super fans would also have especially when going into the finale not knowing who was the
winner a shocked face combined with some tears and then complete excitement taking over celebrating
with his friends and family that he was not only a millionaire but he won the show he grew up adoring
while these three reactions are great they're just not quite good enough to be on my top five in my
opinion so with that said let's kick off the greatest winter reactions in survivor history
with number five at number five is mike holloway the winner of survivor worlds apart now this
reaction is very similar to tides you have the emotional reaction followed by the celebration
however what makes this reaction better than todd's is that mike actually hugged jeff
probst before basically toppling over his mom in celebration i think it's interesting that mike is
still the only person in survivor history to hug probes or even give him any sort of recognition
as he is a big reason for even getting these people on the show in the first place and mike was
certainly an all-time great underdog in survivor winning five immunities against the bullies of
worlds apart and his run ended in an all-time great winter reaction the winner of survival
what's up buddy
at number four is a reaction very similar to another one that just missed the list while
many people might disagree with me i think tyson's emotional response to winning survivor was better
than adams the main reason being that tyson was such a different personality compared to adam
like i said adam's entire historian survivor was essentially dedicated to his mom tyson had a three
season arc leading up to his win in tokyo's he was literally one of the snarkiest players to
ever play the game constantly making fun of people and even ironically saying this line i love seeing
people cry when you crush their dreams if you would have told someone that toca jeans tyson
would be one of the only players in survivor history to cry after winning they would probably
call you crazy but it all starts to make sense as he played two more times in heroes versus villains
he made one of the dumbest moves in survivor history as he switched his boat to poverty and
got himself voted out so going into blood versus water not only was he much more mature but he was
going in knowing he was perceived as one of the dumbest and non-serious players ever and had so
much to prove and then after rachel got voted out he had even more reason to win as if he didn't
win this season he would never forgive himself for not switching with rachel at the duel this
incredible three-season arc led to tyson winning survivor between his past mistakes and winning
this for his future wife it was truly amazing to see the one snarky tyson be drawn to tears
tyson four votes tyson one vote monica
the winner of survivor blood versus
yes
let's go old school for number three in fact let's go all the way back
to the first live final vote reading in survivor history and that is tina's reaction to winning
the australian outback now i might be cheating a bit here as while tina's reaction is great
it's really both her and colby's reaction that make it one of the best ever the only
reason tina was even in a spot to win was due to colby wanting to beat the better competition
instead of someone he knew he would beat in keith as that was simply colby's motto in life and so
not only was tina happy but in some ways kobe was even more happy as even though he lost in his mind
he probably won because he became the first hero of survivor during his time in the outback
and knew that taking keith would have made him not as well perceived by a lot of the viewers
and with basically everyone thinking that colby was going to be a superstar the million dollars
and winning survivor was probably the last thing on his mind as opposed to sweet old
tina the definition of your average likable person winning survivor and a million dollars
doesn't get any better than this three votes tina
three votes colby and true survivor tradition it comes down to one final vote
the winner of survivor the australian outback
oh
now on to the bread and butter of great winning reactions
you probably can already guess which two are at the top but just a matter of which one is the best
both are completely over the top with chris's reaction from survivor vanuatu
ultimately coming in at number two it's been said over and over by me and many people but chris's
win in sabara vanuatu is absolutely insane but what makes this reaction so great is a couple
things one he was as still as a statue as the votes were being read and the second jeff props
read the fourth vote saying he won the game chris went from zero to a hundred real quickly but best
of all he dropped an f-bomb on live television which the producers quickly tried to cover up
simply one of the best and for that matter finest wins for our survivor win ever
chris
two votes chris
chris three votes chris two votes twyla
the winner of survivor vanuatu
oh
and lastly at number one the best reaction ever to winning survivor is without question vestefia
towery's reaction to winning survivor marcus not only was it completely unexpected that a
quiet lady like fosepia would have this type of reaction but it was also just flat-out hilarious
it was a close 4-3 vote with neither viscepia or nalia having any clue who the winner was it's the
most heart-pounding moment for any survivor player with one vote being the decider of
the title of soul survivor and a million dollars it's simply raw and everything great about live tv
and while facebook unfortunately is a very forgettable winner her reaction
to winning survivor will forever remain in survivor laura as the greatest of all time
