Overview
- The live finale, which aired Tuesday June 23, ended with the jury in Paris naming Cynthia the season winner in a broadcast announced near 23:25.
- Cynthia secured her spot by winning the endurance poteaux test and then chose Clarisse rather than Guillaume to join her in front of the jury.
- Across the 40-day game in the Philippines Cynthia built a steady record with four individual challenge wins and two immunity necklaces and said the victory had deep effects on her family life.
- Guillaume staged repeated comebacks this season after being voted out, returning through relic-triggered duels and a secret potterie clue that let him re-enter the game.
- Season rules and twists — relics, duels, a course d'orientation and the final poteaux followed by a jury vote of twelve former contestants — drove late reversals and decided the €100,000 prize.
