WE HAVE A WINNER!

First, congratulations to Chris Underwood, who won Survivor: Edge of Extinction taking home the $1 Million prize and the title of Sole Survivor! I think while many of us were rooting for Devins in the end, I've got to hand it to Chris who spent about a month on the Edge of Extinction before coming back in the last few days to take it home.

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT: Massive congratulations to @stever82!! For the second season in row, he correctly guessed the winning Survivor!

As a reminder of how hard it is to win the 20 Steem Grand Prize, here are all the competitors our Steemian participants had to chose from before the first episode of Survivor even aired:
