[@scottlarish]

yam yam helping Carson possibly win at fire even tho he was perceived as the biggest threat to win really spoke to yam yam's character, and it was one of the brightest and best moments ever in the show

[@stevencoleman3603]

Yam yam and Caroline both have my heart 😭 their reactions to Carson working with NASA was great too. You could tell they were so impressed and proud

[@survivorfan28]

FR!

[@JoeMama-yd1ve]

This was one of my favorite season. Yam yam and Carolyn is my all-time favorite survivor duo.

[@survivor.drippp]

Definitely the best winner in the new era, was rooting for him since day 1! So glad he won.

[@cameronholmes5590]

The fact that he survived the vote against Josh is absolutely mind-blowing

[@itsnotaboutyou]

I just noticed how Yam-Yam looked at the jury each time his name was read in the end. I think that further speaks to his humility and grace, as if he was non-verbally saying, "Wow, thank you for giving me your vote!" rather than smiling at himself out of pride and self-centeredness.

[@petern326]

best winner of the new era by a wide margin right

[@slimbish605]

It’s not that wide. Erika and Maryanne are a bit behind

[@RealityLionEntertainment]

Maryanne is a close 2nd Imo.

[@jornsyy]

He’s the only winner from the new era that’s an all time great imo, though I respect all of the others for different reasons

[@turbotastic7493]

Yeah I agree yam yam played an amazing game

[@yourlocalramen1660]

By FAR

[@Peyton_S]

Glad he won, he’s hilarious and such an entertaining player throughout the season!💜

[@elii5840]

Jam-Jam, Carolyn and Carson's friendship are literally the best

[@jamingrythm584]

Yam-Yam

[@EzraDair]

One thing I really admire and love about the Tika 3 is how in the ftc Carson is coaching both Yam Yam and Carolyn when Yam said “I wasn’t following Carsons orders” and how Carson nodded with like he so wanted Yam Yam to say that!

[@sethgladstone3581]

Such a great winner imo. Yam Yam was very hilarious and entertaining this season.

[@gatina7713]

I agree. I have never watched a single survivor and I almost did and it was solely to watch Yam-yam. He was hilarious and very interesting to watch.

[@user-mz4bv3xg7h]

Mad respect to him seeing him help Carson make fire

[@RealityLionEntertainment]

Watching this clip made me realize how much of his strategy was there from the very beginning. He wasn’t just a social player

[@TheChamp33]

Honestly, one of the best winners in a while. He was close to the bottom at start of the merge, but when he got everybody who voted him out after voting for him is amazing. Plus, him trying to help Carson win fire making was so wholesome.

[@DR-xt5jq]

Yam Yam makes me happy. I'd like a spin off show with him and Carolyn

[@mindyabizniz]

yam yam carson and carolyn are goals man i hope to see all 3 of them return

[@josephanderson2781]

5:30 is the funniest moment of the season hands down

[@MrJuuberi]

Nice and quick work. Surprised though that the scene when Bruce gets med-evacced and Yam Yam says something like "we are gonna win the game for you" isn't in there, considering it was even subtitled haha. That was some heavy-handed foreshadowing.

[@MrJuuberi]

Also Yam helping Carson with preparing for fire in the finale is one of the sweetest moments of Survivor I can remember. I know people are gonna say it wasn't smart but I feel like one of the themes of this season was that sometimes playing with a big heart and emotionally can also get you results.

[@TheDXJC56]

@@MrJuuberi Agreed that it was definitely a great character moment, but strategically it was actually a genius move on Yam Yam's part, if Carson did win and make it to FTC Yam could claim Carson's victory in fire as something he never could have achieved without Yam's help which indirectly adds to his own resume in the process

[@sleshstamp]

One of the best heroes to play the game.

[@jennakelly7830]

Now this is a statement I can agree with ❤

[@alcahuetasanonymous]

Love these compilations but we were missing so many smaller moments! His comments during challenges, and the “I want the gratificaaaaation”

[@EK-yp9jv]

One of my favourite Yam Yam lines! 😂

[@deeriam4136]

hes such a massive hero i love it

[@jackkolero]

Yam Yam feels like he can be a two-time winner like Sandra and Tony ❤

[@JoeMama-yd1ve]

He was a maestro

[@justthinkingof]

Erika says hi!

[@justthinkingof]

But I were him, I will bring 2 former winners to the end. So he can use them as shields. (like Kenzie and Erika). But I think Erika is super smart. Dee knows how read people. And Kenzie has strong social command. So he will have a difficulty.

[@hunterwolfe669]

His social game is acc insanely impressive. He was a target for the entire merge and was still able to squeeze by multiple close tribals even with a rocky relationship with carolyn. One of the all time best winners in the social department

[@kharihammon9784]

Damn, I just love him and he’a a great winner and character! My winner ranking for the new era would be: Yam-Yam>Erika>Maryanne>Gabler

[@overittbh]

I think my favourite part is seeing Carolyn and Heidi so genuinely happy for him :,)

[@EzMoney95]

Yam yam might be my favorite survivor ever .

[@dylangonzalez3095]

YESSSSS!!!! DO CARSON NEXT!!!

[@JordanC2004]

I think we got 1 “you know” from Yam Yam every episode at least love it

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

Yam Yam is the best newbie winner since Cagayan. Don't @ me.

[@jackkolero]

Yes

[@KristianYeager]

No

[@tyfraserweeks9216]

\/\/ Yeah “H.” That was my “H.” gets better every time I watch it

[@EzraDair]

You missed a great moment when he confronted Brandon if they’re going after him and Brandon said no and he told him you better lie to him better than that xd

[@martinbauzon7450]

3:33 at that moment jam-jam knew this wasn't childs play anymore 😆

[@toshe67]

carson and yamyam were my pick to win this season

[@Robrtttt.7]

He’s soo funny

[@popanga0994]

I picked him early on. He always had this godfather-like presence about him

[@jackkolero]

Josh vs Yam Yam in Hvv2 pls!

[@eandsm4620]

Crap, I forgot that Yam Yam was a salon owner. So glad that he won!

[@survivorturnover]

unique winner tho

[@why2goatdagame]

I want 2 see Yam Yam &nd MarryAnne play together. That be dope

[@catherinerevelle3221]

How is it Carolyn is sitting on the jury. She was one of the final three. What’s happening here?

[@gapgaming2871]

There was a twist f11 where the tribe was split, and the team that won was immune and was able to watch from the jury bench

[@npierce14]

Ima let this finish but I just wanna say Carolyn should’ve won

[@roddymac3526]

True chad

[@toshe67]

richard hatch of the new era

[@Timely864]

Carolyn not blindsiding him is one of the dumbest moves not made ever

[@ImSlydenn]

My favorite winner since Parvati ‼️‼️

[@AKIsAClown]

Why does everyone think Maryann was a great winner? She was an awful winner

[@creativeuserneim]

a fantastic winner with a great personality, and honestly Carolyn fans can go cry somewhere else I'm not gonna take away the win from the first gay man of color to defend some white woman

[@tekgid433]

Lmao, why are you woke people the most racist people in the world? And being gay isn’t some accomplishment 🙄

[@mariavasquez3456]

Is he the first gay man to win?

[@abluraskin]

Third. Richard Hatch and Todd Herzog. 1st gay man of color to win though.

[@TheDXJC56]

The first man to EVER win Survivor was a gay man my dude😂

[@CowMaam]

first since season 15

[@sonofapollon447]

The first survivor winner ever is gay. Todd also won season 15.

[@KristianYeager]

I don’t care what anyone says I will always believe that Yam Yam is one of the worst winners in Survivor history, but man, he does seem like a cool guy and has some good one liners.

[@jennakelly7830]

Ahhh, this comment is so refreshing ❤❤

[@Ian00003]

he was so annoying lol

[@arielrodriguezmidence1742]

Boring and horrible winner, 0 strategy, the real strategists were Carson and Caroline

[@richardbas7574]

Worst Survivor season in 44 years. Fake, Acting and a whole lotta crying…… 45 may be my last go if anything like this one. Like the Queen said….”Adios”

[@camrynev]

survivor s1 was in 2000…

[@richardbas7574]

@camryn evans yes it was great. Git even better in the Boston Rob, Parvati, Ozzy and Sandra days

[@camrynev]

@@richardbas7574 you said 44 years genius

[@richardbas7574]

@@camrynev 44 seasons. You know what I meant

[@dancegregorydance6933]

None of these new players touch the greats from the previous 40 seasons
