@ben_s16 started the conversation via Reddit, suggesting the contestants most likely to take home $1 million and the title of “Sole Survivor” at the end of the year. Survivor 45 are Dee Valladares and Katurah Topps, contrary to popular belief.

“If I had been asked to guess the winner between these two a few weeks ago, I would have said Dee in a heartbeat and without question, but after last night, I’m starting to change my mind to believe that it really could be. Katurah, but I’m not sure yet tbh. What is your assessment of these two, and what do you all think needs to happen to their matches and editing for either of these two to be winners?

Of course, Survivor fans responded to the thread, giving their reasons as to why both Dee and Katurah have the potential to win. Survivor 45.

For a more traditional winner, viewers think Dee will take the cake, probably due to her strong performance in challenges, as well as her great social and strategic gameplay. After all, the edit she made on the beloved competition series was nothing short of amazing!

“Dee’s editing just makes her look good… Her success is a lot about her story, not to mention the fact that she’s very secretive in the family, and on top of that we’re actively looking at how she’s doing. game going every episode, which puts her really high on my radar. I think this is what a winner would look like in an edit for a player like Dee, so I’m like 99.9% sure it’s her”

With Austin Li Coon, Drew Basile, and Julie Alley seemingly wrapped around her finger, things could be smooth sailing for Dee from here on out, as long as she doesn’t introduce herself as too much of a threat.

While it looks like Dee is getting a winner’s edit on the super competition, we’ve seen him in the “New Era” of Survivor that the underdogs win in the end. After all, no one expected Mike Gabler to win Survivor 43 because of his crazy personality!

With individuals saying that Dee has struck them as a “decoy winner,” like Omar Zaheer in Survivor 42 and Jesse Lopez i Survivor 43Katurah has had the perfect underdog story thus far, making her a perfect candidate for $1 million and the title of “Sole Survivor”.

“Dee’s editing seems more like a traditional winner, but Katurah’s editing seems unpredictable, and ‘New Age’ winners seem to be trending. Right now, I’m slightly leaning Katurah – like 52-48. I almost think if she comes out of the Kaleb vote unscathed, she is getting an underdog winner edit. File in with the Rebas, and he’ll be the last Belo at the end.”

With the elimination of Kellie Nalbandian just last night, and massive goals from Bruce Perreault and Jake O’Kane on their backs, Katurah is one step closer to being the first Belo member standing.
