IDK what I like extra, Survivor, Jeff Probst, or Dee and Austin’s relationship. For those who watched season 45 (THE FINALE WAS LAST NIGHT SO IF YOU DIDN’T WATCH IT YET, GET THE FUCK OFF THIS POST!!!) that BEEP was the winner. Okay, severely, that is your final spoiler warning!!! Our woman Dee Valladares took residence the $1 million prize, together with her boo factor/showmance/boyfriend Austin Li Coon coming in second place. So are Dee and Austin from Survivor 45 nonetheless collectively and courting after the present?
The brief reply? YES… however they’re “taking issues sluggish” as a result of he’s in Chicago and he or she’s in Miami. Dee confirmed on Jeff’s On Fireplace podcast on December 20 that she and Austin’s relationship was a showmance, but in addition persevering with post-finale. Proper now, although, they’re attempting to maintain it on the DL.
So Dee went residence wealthy and with a boyfriend? Feels like a profitable season. Nevertheless, she is 100 % remaining coy about it when any media shops ask for extra deets.
“This has been a whirlwind of feelings and we now have determined to maintain it low-key for now,” she informed Leisure Weekly. “It’s been too loopy and it’s getting crazier. So we’ve determined to maintain it low-key for now, solely as a result of it’s been insane.”
Sooo no ring and honeymoon plans but? Dee explains that by retaining it “low-key,” followers will “see footage right here and there,” including, “We’re not going to concentrate on it proper now as a result of a lot is going on in our lives, and yeah, we’re simply going to maintain it low-key for now.”
A romance blossomed between the 2 over the course of the season — one they tried desperately to be discreet about however legit everybody (INCLUDING THE ENTIRE CAST LMAO) knew was a factor. They’d cuddle, maintain palms, hug, and primarily confess their love to one another with out flat-out saying it. TBT to when Austin took Dee on his helicopter reward date and invited Katurah and he or she simply third-wheeled your entire factor, lol.
Dee and Austin have been, firstly, alliance members a part of the Reba 4, however tried their finest to cover their feelings and emotions for one another to make it to the top. Dee ended up beating him in only a 5-Three vote. Oh, additionally, Jake was there. He got here in third with 0, however we’re SOOO pleased with you, babe!!!!
In all truthfully, I hoped for the 2 to point out a TINY bit extra PDA in the course of the finale. A kiss? One thing! However I suppose Dee did blindside Austin in entrance of your entire jury when she informed him that she informed Julie to play her idol, so possibly they’ve ~issues~ to work out behind the scenes. She even informed Jeff that she was so nervous Austin wouldn’t forgive her after the present for not being truthful and thought possibly he wouldn’t “know tips on how to separate the sport an actual life.”
One other level the 2 mentioned on the podcast was how the FUCK Dee and Austin discovered one another engaging when everybody was disgusting and smelled like shit. Truthful query!
“There’s a factor known as island sizzling on the market,” Dee stated, including that you simply additionally “don’t odor one another” but when she DID odor Austin, she would have“most likely appreciated it.”
“The extra bruises and scrapes on his physique, the warmer I discovered him,” she informed Jeff. (Actually, identical.)
Soooo will we be invited to the marriage? Will Emily be the maid-of-honor? She did inform the cameras: “I suppose coronary heart actually does win Survivor, however, woman, should you spend 1 penny of this million {dollars} on this boy, I’ll personally fly to Miami and take it from you.” EMILY!!!
I suppose we’ll have to remain tuned for Dee and Austin’s romantic vacay pics within the meantime!
