Australian Survivor 2025 winner is crowned in nail-biting season finale leaving viewers shocked READ MORE: Australian Survivor to roll out two seasons of the series in 2025 By JIMMY BRIGGS FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 00:31, 15 April 2025 | Updated: 00:34, 15 April 2025 e-mail View comments Advertisement In an epic grand finale that tested endurance and strategy, Channel Ten 's Australian Survivor 2025 has crowned its winner. Sydneysider Myles Kuah, 23, narrowly beat out fellow finalist Kaelen Lockhart, 27, in a showdown that culminated in a nail-biting decision by a jury of their peers. The final challenge pushed the finalists to their physical limits as they were forced to balance barefoot on sharp, narrow bamboo pegs for an agonising three hours.
Myles clinched the title with a bold game that saw him dodge elimination multiple times, thanks to his knack for sniffing out hidden idols and making high-risk plays. His chaotic, unpredictable gameplay earned him the nickname 'Jungle Rat' - and also won him the respect of the jury and, ultimately, the $500,000 grand prize. During the last tribal council, both finalists presented their argument as to why they should not be voted off the island.

The presenter told Yahoo that the Tribal Council elimination ceremonies, where a contestant is voted off the island, are particularly hard to manage. 'Tribals can go for hours,' he began.
