Dec. 18 (UPI) — CBS’ “Survivor” crowned its Season 49 winner Wednesday night, awarding a $1 million cash prize to the season’s final contestant standing.<\/p>\n

Savannah Louie won the competition during the finale. The 31-year-old former reporter beat out<\/a> her fellow finalists Sophi Belerdi and Sage Ahrens-Nichols, and went home from the jungles of Fiji with a $1 million cash prize.\n<\/p>\n

This is the first time since 2014<\/a> that the three finalists were all women.<\/p>\n

“It feels incredible,” Louie told the CBS show’s host Jeff Probst<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s this larger than life feeling. I usually have the right words. I usually have some crap to say, but in this moment I don’t even know what to say,” she added. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before. It’s just a crazy feeling.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dec. 18 (UPI) — CBS’ “Survivor” crowned its Season 49 winner Wednesday night, awarding a $1 million cash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,42750,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-190223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-jeff-probst","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
