Jeff Probst has revealed who won Survivor 2015 last night as the Worlds Apart Jury cast its votes and awarded one castaway a million dollar prize as the Sole Survivor of Season 30.
Only five castaways remained and we had seen the spoilers on who makes it to the Final Four, but beyond that were still anxiously awaiting results for the F3 and Jury decision.
The finale kicked off with Merica returning to camp and Carolyn arguing with her tribe and alliance members over why they turned on her while they want to know about her secret Immunity Idol. Carolyn isn’t ready to turn on them just yet because she needs their numbers and Mike remains the target.
Loved ones have arrived as part of the first Reward Challenge of the night. Everyone is excited to see their missed family so Jeff is happy to make those reunions. Mike’s mom, Rodney’s dad, Carolyn’s husband, Sierra’s dad, and Will’s wife are all here.
Winner of the Reward gets time with their family and an advantage in the next challenge. I suppose the rest of the loved ones just head back to the hotel. Ouch.
Reward Challenge:
Will got the initial lead running down the field but Mike caught up and leads going in to the puzzle phase. Will was close behind but stumbled and has to return. Will keeps dropping. It’s painful to watch.
Mike has a huge lead and is sorting his puzzle pieces. If he loses this then he fell asleep at the wheel. Sierra is catching up fast but Mike stays a step ahead and finally finds the combo to unlock the case. He wins Reward, time with his mom, and an advantage at the next challenge.
Immunity Challenge:
Mike’s advantage gave him 30 mins at the challenge but he was blindfolded and his mom had to guide him the whole time. Time runs out and Mike is worried he didn’t learn enough. Mike’s home is heartbroken and thinks she let him down.
Mike goes in to the comp with this small advantage, but will it be enough? Well, it sure isn’t hurting him as he tears through the positions and collects all the medallions.
Rodney finds a medallion and starts helping his other three allies to his position. Doesn’t seem to matter though as Mike has his fourth and goes looking for the Immunity necklace… Mike wins Immunity!
Tribal Council:
It’s either going to be Sierra or Rodney. Who does Mike want to go against in the next round?
Jeff tallies the votes: Sierra, Rodney, Sierra, Sierra.
Sierra Thomas was voted off Survivor and just shy of the F4 tonight. Time for the next round.
Immunity Challenge:
Final Four faces a massive challenge ahead of them. They’ll have to race up a huge platform to get a key, slide down to climb an obstacle course, and unlock a bag of puzzle pieces.
Mike is the first to the bags and unlocks his first set. The other three are side by side and not far behind. This could still be close.
Mike maintains his lead, but Rodney is not far behind him at all. He needs to hustle as Rodney is closing in on him.
Now it’s everyone at the puzzle phase. Carolyn is closing in FAST on Mike. This is going to be between these two… MIKE WINS IMMUNITY!
Mike is guaranteed a spot in the F3. Who will be joining him?
Tribal Council:
Looks like we could get a split between Carolyn and Rodney. Mike encouraged Carolyn to practice fire but she’s exhausted after hours of attempts and can’t do it.
Jeff tallies the votes: Rodney, Carolyn, Carolyn, Rodney. Tie!
Fire-making challenge is the tie-breaker. Oh this is going to be awesome fun.
Carolyn and Rodney are racing to build a fire that will burn a string and lift their flag. 20 minutes in to the challenge and neither have built fire, but both have had to trade out their flint with Jeff.
Rodney has fire!… and he loses it. Good grief this went from exciting to pitiful. After 53 mins Rodney has a serious burn going. WOW! Now Carolyn has fire too and she builds a smarter fire that climbs higher, faster.
Carolyn wins the challenge! Rodney is eliminated from Survivor.
Final 3: Carolyn, Mike, & Will
Tribal Council:
Castaways head to sit before the Jury and get chewed out. This should be fun!
I’ll post the clip later of everyone doing their rants at the F3. I’m really thinking Mike made a bad choice taking Carolyn to the end over Rodney, but just how bad of a choice was it?
Jeff tallies the votes and takes them off in to the jungle & down in to the CBS studio…
Who won Survivor 2015 Worlds Apart? Votes: Mike, Will, Carolyn, Mike, Mike, Mike!
Mike Holloway wins Survivor! Congrats to Mike & the F3.
Following the Survivor finale winner results we’ll get the Reunion show so stick with us as we update all the results from tonight’s Worlds Apart finale.

OT… I voted on the CBS website for the cast of the next season but I have to admit I didn’t remember 80% of the people. I’ve watched every season but don’t remember who most of these people are, do I have a bad memory or does anyone else feel the same way?
That’s why they put those little video. They were helpful for reminding me who they were.
Ready for tonight’s show. If I start rambling it’s just the beer. Lol
We’re here.
Yeah, I scratched my head on several of them.
Oh wow, we get the result of the vote tonight. Can’t wait.
Yeah, I was excited that they were going to do it so soon after the end of the vote. Kinda sucks the wind out of cast spoilers.
Face tattoo thing might have been the smartest comment Rodney made all season.
LOL
This is a great reminder of why I’m so glad to see some of these folks gone. Best of all might be Dan and his pointless-power.
Is that a spoiler ?
Oh, what? I missed it.
Just saw that on twitter.
So right.
Alright ..I’m ready !
That was from last season, sorry, I jump the gun.
Mike !.that’s my man !
Go Mike!
Yeap, we are pulling for Mike.
He’s definitely played a heck of a game
Will still is a disaster!
He is the most deserving of who’s left.
go Wil !
Yep.
Slick challenge. I like how they figure out the combo.
Blah, blah, blah
He’s the only one who deserves it. A long, long time ago he sang a song at a gas pump. The rest was written in the stars. Long live, Sole Survivor Will!
lol..nice
Does everyone call their dad “bro”?
Hahaha
OMG !..enough !
Nobody I know.
Will running! What the what? Well good for him.
I STILL haven’t seen that video.
Go Mike, go!
Go Wil..go…GO DROP ! lol
What an idiot Caroline…the only one that has your back you want gone. Yippee final four. Well Caroline hate to burst your bubble but only 3 go to the finals. And from last tribal you’re number 4
I hope so!
Hooray!
Haha, Mike’s mom has to sleep at the camp site? That does NOT sound like a Reward for both of them!
Is Mike in the zone ..or what? !!
And she’s in a dress.
He’s an animal, but at the same time, does he have any real competition? Carolyn and Sierra are good, but Rodney and Will are so bad it’s bad.
He certainly is. With an advantage in the immunity challenge, he is in a good spot.
I’m cool with that. lol
Me too.
Me three
They let her change.
This is a huge advantage for Mike. It’s a massive opportunity to give a personal impression for him & get the others to like him. Rodney & Will won’t, but I think this could help with Sierra or Carolyn if either heads to the Jury.
Good observation.
The water timer is so cool. I love clever little things like that.
Yea, it’s cool. But not sure that give much of an advantage.
Oh!..I left my room..what’s the advantage?
Matt, are you checking twitter ?
It’s a maze they have to do blindfolded. So they give a try at it for 30 minutes with his mom giving pointer.
awesome.
Yep, just saw it. Thanks!
Yeah, probably not enough time. Didn’t last season give someone sun up to sun down?
BBCAN3 HoH spoilers for anyone interested –> http://bit.ly/1EYT3Al
Carolyn.
Hey did you get my last message? About the eviction being live tonight?
I can’t breath! 3 brains against one..and they can’t cut it ! hahaha
Hooray yet again.
Now you have to go make an article about it.
Yes, everything I told you was live and happened.
Either he didn’t need it or it did give him just enough. But he’s good.
Oh was that episode last night?
No tonight just before Survivor. You’ll get it tomorrow morning.
Oh. I didn’t know it was on that early.
Can’t wait for the other competition. The climbing on stairs?.Wil will kill this…watch out for him Mike.
I think it’s more like one brain against one. Or maybe 1/2
It was exceptional, because of Survivor. Same channel in Canada.
Why won’t they just say it? “Let’s keep Will because it’s Will and he can’t win comps or the game.”
It would be nice if they could vote out 2 players in 1 tribal..Rodney/Wil
Done and done. Had one prep’d and ready with a fill-in-the-blank.
I’d love it
It’s a big dilemna.
*snort* Rodney’s head-shaking “please don’t say that right now” at Will.
I hate Wil !..the nerve !
Dan look so pissed at Mike.
Dans an ass. So glad he’s gone.
Me, too.
Ha everyone voted for Seria except her.
Why do I feel like washing my hand ?
LOL
I can barely watch. There’s so much pressure on Mike!
Will won’t make it running up stairs 3 stimes.
Oh!..this comp is awesome !!!!!! goooooo!! MIKE !!!
I just wanna do the slide.
It can be all lost while doing the puzzle.
Yep
This puzzle looked simple in the Dream Team run through, but maybe it’s not.
Okay, now that we get up close views, it’s obviously not easy.
haha Wil..go to sleep !
Oh snap. Is Carolyn going to snatch this away from Mike?
He did it.
Hell yeah.
That’s the win. No way he doesn’t enough vote to win.
We got a photo of Jeff kneeling like that, but not who he was looking at. I was wondering if someone had a medical moment.
Gotta win it. Gotta win.
Somethings wrong with those people don’t vote for him.
Love how the Second Chance potential cast all has their bags there. I wonder if they’ll be sent directly from there.
I think that’s the idea.
Looks like it .
lol
I think Mama C get a second chance.
I cannot understand Dan.he is supposed to be a fan of the game and yet when he sees Mike with the idol he is so pissed this guy has blinders on he can only see 1 way he is such an unlikable person dude Mike is playing the game and yet I do not think you will give him a vote petty petty man
You do?
He may have and they cut it since it turned out not to be serious
H
Like I said before he’s the biggest ass!
I have a feeling she is likeable for the viewers.
I think you may be right.
Eh
It’s funny how after the hard part of the comp, those 2 clowns were disoriented by the time they get to the puzzle. lol
I think you nailed it. Dan is a petty, petty man. Arrogant and delusional to boot.
Mike has to get rid of Carolyn, right?
She turned me off during the first episode with her politics.
Wow. Mike encouraging C to practice fire. Oh my. I hope we get to see it.
That would be smart. How could anyone vote for Will or Rodney.
Heh. No one is even debating Will “seat filler” for the vote-out.
This is such an anti-climatic disappointing finale. I don;t like Mike and wish he would take the toothpick or whatever out of his mouth. I’m assuming Mike wins and am not happy! Bring on next season.
Bitter Dan would vote for Rodney over Mike.
Make sense, but then, who would vote for Carolyn either.
Please just vote her out and end the drama.
She’s at least won comps. If someone refuses to vote for Mike then she’d be a justifiable option.
It’s the smartest, It’s just hard to stomach seeing those two in the finals.
go Mike win it all
Yep you’re right. One vote. It would just prove what an ass he really is.
Maybe he expects her to lose the first challenge but thinks helping her will give him her vote from Jury.
YES!!!
Not enough to win.
Bitter, bitter Douche rolling his eyes again. I mean Dan.
I didn’t recognize Sierra
I didn’t recognize Sierra
Ponderosa treated Sierra well. She’s looking nice tonight from the Jury.
When was the last time we got a fire tie-breaker? I can’t even remember the last one.
The juries are always brutal here in the tribal, but they seemed to always award the best gamer in the end .don’t you think so?..compared to BB
She looks beautiful!
I like this.
I like this.
Love it!
Yes she does.
It’s been a while.
Like this…go Carolyn
Like this…go Carolyn
I would say so too.
I would say so too.
I just dont understand Dan as a fan of the show he could show some respect that Mike has played a great game and yet he is so pissed that he probably would award 1 million $$ to Will if he could what a little man he is
I agree..Mike has the best argument..It would be an outrage if the Jury gives it to anybody but Mike..
I guess I should have watched them…just didn’t have time
LOVE THIS. I seriously can’t remember when we last saw it. Wait, can you just run over to the center pit and steal it from there? No? Okay.
Joe is laughing: “I’d be done already”
And you know Dan is thinking “I can make fire by simply willing it. I AM A GOD.”
Never saw this happen in a fire challenge.
Wow this is pitiful
Give them matches !! OMG!
Hmm, will anyone see this as “they EARNED their spot in the F3” with this?
Lol
oh oh oh Carolyn.
Good for her. She earned this.
I still think Mike expected Carolyn to lose so he’d have her vote at Jury.
Intelligence Rodney..we need that..sorry dude
Yeap, you want it, you have to earn it.
I don’t know, he warned her not Rodney.
I don’t. I feel he decide to let faith decide.
Wish it was final 2. Will is a waste.
Yeah, Rodney isn’t voting for Mike. Mike needed Rodney in the F3 and Carolyn as a vote in the Jury.
Wait wait. Hmm, what about this “extra footage”? Hmm.
I can’t wait to here Dans intelligent question.
Agree
Give him 24 hres.
… or speech. I have a feeling he will just ramble on some weird idea he has.
Don’t agree that this was a season of gamers.
They don’t do the trail of remembrance anymore.
There were many who thought they were gamers.
Yeah!
Oh this is fun to watch..Wil with the Jury? lol
Didn’t notice because I didn’t miss it! Glad it’s gone.
Guesses on how many questions he gets?
Yea, that was a long and painful process.
OMG!..listen to him now.
OMG !..do I feel like this Juries are taking the whole thing personally?
We needed Jenn. What a relief. Thank you, Jenn!
Wow glad Dan is following her.
YES !!..OMG do the right thing you all !!
Blowhard: Waaaaaaaaaahhhh, wahh, wwwwwaaahhh.
Exactly!
seriously? Mile pulls a Colby and brings the only other person in the game that could beat him into the finals. This a Texas thing?
Oh wait, he’s taking an encore. If you missed it: “waahhhh, blaaaah blaaah, wwwwaaah.”
I have an awful feeling Mike isn’t going to win.
This is one bitter group of amateur voters.
Yep, he messed up taking C over Rodney. Question is how deep did he mess it?
OH my God Shirin – you bitch!
Hopefully, sanity prevail.
Yep
OMG Shirin..lol did you write this?
Toss up. Mike vs Carolyn.
Odd that Haley, the big lawyer wanna be , asked the dullest question.
Badly I fear, there’s 15 guys in the back cursing his decision right about now and Jim rice might just stab him.
I still think Mike.
It was great!
I think she practice it in front of the mirror.
If so, it will be a shocking finale! I think Carolyn, but I really hope Mike. I really didn’t see him as the villain they did – what did I miss? And I saw every episode!
You’re probably right! I wonder if her Ponderosa roommates could hear her practicing – lol.
I hope Carolyn wins she played a better game overall.
I don’t see any contest between Mike/Carolyn.. In paper it’s Mike 100%..any angle
wow, how mean :(
I think Dan has been trying to sway the jury. Now Mike has said he was sorry. So who knows.
I think Mike did. Everyone wanted him out for weeks and he’s in the finals.
But that jury ….. OMG
But maybe that means she did it better if people didn’t want her out the same.
Ha, Will got a vote.
Dan and the drama move!
Rodney = a joke.
And the Oscar goes to…!
If mile loses its on him, bitter jury or not he would of crushed rod/will in the f3.
She was a floater
Mike*
But when you have an alliance it’s easy…. Mike had nothing.
100% agree
Big time.
I’m not so sure, but Mike probably made some kind of record on Survivor in terms of the number of wins. Immunity/rewards both.
YEAH!!!!
That’s a fitting end.
Wow really didappointed
Go MIKE GO! HE WON!
YIppee!!! I Did not see that coming!
He tied somebody. At least that what I think I heard Jeff say during that last comp.
I wanted Mike to win, but aside from that, again maybe Carolyn did it better if she had an alliance while Mike didn’t. He had to work harder, she worked smarter.
YES !!..This was a good finale!!…yes!..congrats Mike!
Glad it came out this way.
I love that he’s a Mama’s Boy -so sweet with his mom!
Yeah, Jeff said it was an elite group.
Great job Mike…you deserve the win!
But he seems sweet under his tough guy persona. I felt so sad for him when he lost the fire contest -I just wanted to give him a hug. ;-(
I think Boston Rob or Malcom
Rodney voted for his buddy. lol…all star !
But I feel like he had a one dimensional game…winning challenges. He had no social game and lucky for him no competitor in challenges.
Rodney voting for Will – that bugs me. I get that it’s his friend, and he likes him so much. But he dint’ play the game? He coasted and he was MEAN. The things he said to Shirin were awful.
Yeah, makes the results of all his efforts a complete joke.
The set looks great.
good night all. Looking forward to Big Brother
Was just thinking that. It’s gorgeous yet again.
It’ll be here soon. Few more weeks and I’ll be sitting down with the BB17 cast.
Looking forward to it
Oh my, Rodney.
Jenn would have voted for Rodney OVER Mike? What what?
Joe will definitely win the 2nd chance…big fan base
Definitely. He was probably rocking, near if not at, the top of the votes.
He did lot of bonehead comments. That vote was a bonehead move.
She’s getting a second chance. So will Joe.
Matt do you really think that they will yell us tonight who’s picked?
lol
Plane ticket are booked already I guess.
Yeah I do. Pretty sure Jeff said the other week that they would tell us tonight.
Good
Wow. Jeff calling out Dan by playing the raw footage.
lol. Dan is sorry now of course, he already know the viewers think he’s a d bag.
Completely.
Jeff is protecting the show.
I love it, the lying dog.
We’ve seen this so many times in the reunion.
He should.
Of course.
Jeff loves calling out people too on live. lol Corrine on Gabon comes to my mind.
I love this show and would hate for non fans to get the wrong idea. They may join us fans one day.
Let say, Dan will not get a second chance.
Oh yeah.
That’s not enough of a reunion show.
That was funny.
They have to show the new players.
I know. But I always said, finale night, the show should one hour and the reunion two hours. Just need one more week.
I agree, I like the Reunion. Jeff always has great questions.
I like it when he does that. He’s giving us some relief? lol
The Asian girl I remember.
Wow! I can’t wait for next season. Looks good.
That won’t be until September.
About half I voted for.
Yes, true definition of a hypocrite.
Couple of villains there.for drama.

I know, but something to look forward to. It will start when BB is ending.

Great cast ( with one or two exceptions)!! Ooh, can’t wait til next season. However, I can already see who some of the targets are going to be.

Well, that was a long night. The cat is mad at me for not giving him any attention.
Well, that was a long night. The cat is mad at me for not giving him any attention.
Nice logo.
what was the combination for the reward
Can’t wait for that! Always controversial and fun.
Being on the West Coast and missing out on these blogs is almost enough to make me move east!!
Rodney’s a whiney spoiled brat. He was just pissed off that he didn’t get further and didn’t want to give credit where it was due. Stupid and immature move.
Anybody know the final votes, who they were casted for? Wanting to know who came in second. Thanks
Great job, as usual, Matt. Don’t know how you keep it up, year after year. Thank you.
I saw a tiny bit of that side of him, but it didn’t begin to make up for other 99% obnoxiousness of his personality.
The only thing that stuck out for me was when he said he was going to spend his money, made sure he was last in line, and then didn’t do it. He changed his mind, but only because he realized it would work badly against him.
Can’t stand her and her constant smirk, as though she knew something others didn’t. Definitely a mean girl, and now we have to see her again on Second Chance! Yuk…………….
She cleans up really nicely – gorgeous young woman.
Me too! It would give everyone a good laugh to see me screaming and nearly peeing my granny panties all the way down!
I agree. BUT.. it’s a game and they’re all playing. If he had done as his gut told him ,he would have had the advantage, and I think his idea was pretty smart. But then .. he realized how bad it was going to look. I was shocked that night – even Jeff was !
He’s classless.
Yes, and we never got to hear anything at all from the old players – the non duty players. And I don’t feel like Mike got enough air time, and they didn’t do a Fan Favorite. And, I wish I knew who voted for who.
I thought “the dead fish” speech was hilarious! lol
Was laughing my head off seeing Dan hit his head banging it on the table because he could not decide who to vote for. Eventually, he did the right thing and voted for Mike. Sierra voting for Carolyn and Rodney voting for
Will, really? Kudos for Jenn for making the comment about some on the jury being mad at Mike for outlasting them but, that is part of the game.
I’m thankful everyone kept their legs together.
Call the w-a-a-a-a-mbulance.
Stupid til the very end.
I’m glad Carolyn won’t be back. And I can’t imagine who would vote for Kass.
Sorry Carolyn didn’t make Second Chance. Hope to see her again in the future.
Dan the Diva! From banging his head while voting to his mean spirited self indulgent ugly facial expressions ~ just a creepy sore loser!
Loved Shirin’s words to the final 3 at the last tribal ~ spot on! Thought I liked her, now I know I like her.
Will is one of the biggest floaters in Survivor history.
Really? 3 people would have voted for Rodney??? He did nothing but rant and rave obnoxiously about everyone else’s game play and personality. He’s the King of HOSTILITY!
I wasn’t a fan of Mike or Carolyn but I believe she did play a better overall game. She had an alliance, was good in challenges and managed to avoid being on the block, except for the week she used her immunity idol. Mike’s only saving grace was that he was able to win challenges, which wasn’t difficult when your competition is Rodney, Will, Dan, and Sierra. He had nothing else going for him so I don’t feel good about his win.
I don’t see how she had a choice.
I was surprised he didn’t have a heart attack.
