Parvati Shallow Wins Survivor: Australia V The World.
“I feel like I’m re-writing history in a way that feels so right.”
Parvati Shallow can now add Sole Survivor of the World to her already impressive mantle.
After an incredible season where 14 of the best Survivor players from across the globe came together to battle it out for the ultimate title, during Sunday night’s Grand Finale, Parvati went up against Australia’s Luke Toki and Janine Allis to win $250,000 and the title of Sole Survivor.
“This is my final time playing Survivor, so to have been awarded the win from the jury is like the sweetest moment,” Parvati said.
“I’m so grateful to have been a part of this incredible experience of Australia V The World… there is something about this game that just gets in my blood. I feel like I was born to play Survivor.”
Arriving on the beaches of Samoa for the first time since the US season of Heroes vs Villains, Parvati was hungry for redemption after feeling like she was ‘robbed’ of victory by a bitter jury back in 2009.
That hunger served her well as she dodged any attempts at voting her out, navigating botched blindsides and proving herself to be a beast in endurance challenges, including the vital final battle for individual immunity.
All the while, Parvati stood alongside her ‘Survivor Soulmate’ and fellow legend of the game Cirie Fields, who was there every step of the way, right up until the final tribal.
Playing for her fifth time, Parvati’s strategy and social game were on full display and, despite having one of the biggest targets on her back, she didn’t receive a single vote throughout the game – until it was time to vote for a winner where she received a total of six out of seven votes from the jury, cementing her place as the greatest of all time.
Parvati said, “I think this is the best game of Survivor I’ve played because I think I made some pretty great moves, I kept myself in a majority alliance, this feels like a full circle moment for me personally.
“I feel like I’m re-writing history in a way that feels so right.”
