who won  " survivor " season 44?

In a dazzling end Wednesday night, one player on "Survivor" Season 44 got the title of Last one

standing

and the $1 million award that goes with it.

That player was Yamil "Sweet potato Sweet potato" Arocho, a 31-year-old salon proprietor from Puerto

Rico. Arocho beat the other last three contenders, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt and Carolyn Wiger, in the

last jury vote, getting most of votes from players he contributed to removing throughout the season.

The final episode of Survivor did not disappoint in delivering a climatic, tense ending. Heading into the

 last episode of the 44th season of the reality competition series, there were five people remaining:

 Lauren Harpe, Carson Garrett, Carolyn Wiger, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt, and Yam Yam Arocho. By the

 time the episode concluded, only one was left as the sole survivor. With two Immunity Challenges

 looming and a fire-making challenge to boot, there was always going to be an intense finale. What

 ended up transpiring was exactly that as Yam Yam navigated his way to victory without winning any of

 the three aforementioned challenges. Regardless, Yam Yam was the most deserving contestant to win

 on this season for a variety of reasons.
