Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn on 10 crowns Myles Kuah as winner – Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II Crowns Its Winner.
From ‘Jungle Rat’ to Sole Survivor, Myles Kuah survived 47 days on the beaches of Samoa, outwitting, outplaying and outlasting 23 other castaways to become the winner of Australian Survivor: Brains V Brawn II, earning him the glory and grand prize of $500,000.
“It’s absolutely everything, I went on thinking I’d have a fun time, there’s no chance I’d win. A zero percent chance I’d win,”
– Myles said.
“It’s a completely surreal way to cap off what was an incredible experience.
“I think I achieved everything I could have imagined and then stuff I couldn’t have imagined achieving, like finding four idols.”
Having successfully blindsided Zara earlier in the week, it all came down to a brutal endurance challenge where our final three, Myles, AJ, and Kaelan, went head-to-head standing on a series of increasingly narrow bamboo pegs. While he had already broken the record for most individual immunity wins, Kaelan had something to prove and lasted more than three hours, earning him the immunity necklace for the seventh time.
The moment was made even sweeter with friends and loved ones watching as a tearful Kaelan realised he would have to make a difficult decision on who would be joining him at the final tribal. Ultimately, Kaelan made the bold choice to take Myles all the way to the end, and AJ became the final member of the jury.
At the final Tribal Council, both Myles and Kaelan made their pitches. Having both played exceptional but wildly different games, it all came down to a grilling from the jury who would be making one last difficult decision. And having broken his own record for having the most votes cast against him this season, it was finally time for Myles to enjoy seeing his name be pulled from the urn.
“Sitting there and pitching my game to the jury, going through all the moves that I had made and having the jury ask me all sorts of different questions was so surreal,”
– Myles said.
“I was just having such a fun time out there… I should have been voted out at the second vote. I got so incredibly lucky to not get voted out. From then on, I was mentally prepared and totally fine to get voted out at any time. Even when I was on the bottom, I was just happy to be there.”
Once again, in the battle of Brains versus Brawn, a Brain has reigned supreme, taking out the title of Sole Survivor and the grand prize of $500,000.
