A new Survivor winner has been crowned, and the previous Survivor winner has passed the torch.
Rachel LaMont recently won Survivor 47, with the jury giving her a 7-1-0 win over Sam Phalen and Sue Smey.
Kenzie Petty won Survivor 46 on a 5-3-0 jury vote over Charlie Davis and Ben Katzman. That season also featured Liz “Applebee’s” Wilcox.
Kenzie has been busy after winning Survivor. She got married after postponing her wedding to play Survivor, and the married couple also had a baby.
The energetic Survivor 46 castaway frequently posts about her life and adventures on social media, keeping fans updated.
Recently, Kenzie chose a fun way to address people asking if she was sad about passing on the Survivor torch to a new winner.

“Hahaha you seem a little too eager 😂,” commented Austin Li Coon from Survivor 45.

Survivor alums and fans love Kenzie’s post

Could we soon see some of these folks sharing the television screen as part of the Survivor 50 cast? A season featuring Dee, Kenzie, and Rachel could be fun.
