'Survivor 41' Finale: Erika first female winner in 7 seasons, fans love the 'new era'

Erika wins the 41st Season of 'Survivor' and becomes the first female in 7 seasons

After nearly three months of grueling action, ‘Survivor’ Season 41 has finally come to an end and it was undoubtedly an insane journey, not just for the contestants but for the viewers as well. There have been a lot of reactions throughout the show’s run and some of the fans thought things were a little bit complicated this time around, but they loved the show and labeled it as a massive win for CBS.

However, it was time to pick out the winner. After 26 days, we had our Top 3 and it included Deshawn, Xander, and Erika. It was up to the jury and former ‘Survivor’ contestants of this season to choose the winner. At first, they asked questions to the Top 3 and asked their game plan while coming to the show. All three of them gave some really amazing answers and were ready for the final vote out. The jury picked out the winner by voting, but there was one twist and the twist was that the winner will be announced on-location.

By winning the ‘Survivor’ Season 41, Erika also became the first female winner in seven seasons.

As soon as the winner was announced, social media went ahead and congratulated Erika for her victory, but they also were shocked to learn that Xander didn’t get even a single vote.

One of the users said, “FIRST CANADIAN WINNER FIRST FILIPINO WINNER.” Another fan shared, “I’m so happy Erika won but Xander deserved at least one vote lol but that was a good finale!!!!” Meanwhile, one of the users noted, “Yes my girl!

“How did Xander not get ONE vote,” opined another user. “True but I'm kind of sad Xander didn't get at least a vote like Idk I'm happy for Erika I am but with his game, I just feel like the main excuse as to why he didn't get a vote was that oh he's young and a bit naive you know? Which is irritating for me cause’ I had a lot of social,” noted another user.

‘Survivor’ Season 41 ended with an after-show with all the contestants and we also got to see the first look at ‘Survivor’ Season 42.
