Biography

Rachel LaMont won Survivor: 47 with a dominant, well-rounded game that few could argue with. A graphic designer from Michigan, Rachel won four individual immunity challenges, tying a record for a female contestant in a single season, while also navigating the strategy to defeat Sam Phalen and Sue Smey in a 7-1-0 vote.

Her combination of challenge dominance and strategic control made her one of the most convincing winners of the new era, a threat who proved she could win both the physical and social sides of the game.

Rachel LaMont is remembered as a commanding champion of Survivor 47, the designer whose record-tying immunity run and sharp gameplay produced one of the more emphatic winning resumes of the modern era.

Alliances fans have named

Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
