Kyle Fraser, a 30-year-old attorney from Brooklyn, New York, won Survivor 48.
As with the past fifteen seasons, Survivor 48 took place in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji.
On finale night, Karthigesu came out on top in the first immunity challenge. During the tribal council, Guerra was eliminated. Erickson had an immunity idol and was safe from votes. Fraser then won the final immunity challenge and secured a spot in the final three. He chose Hunter to join him, leaving Karthigesu and Erickson to compete in a fire-making challenge. Erickson won the showdown, eliminating Karthigesu.
The jury for this season included Cedrek McFadden, Chrissy Sarnowsky, David Kinne, Star Toomey, Mary Zheng, Shauhin Davari, Mitch Guerra, and Kamilla Karthigesu. McFadden voted for Hunter, Toomey and Zheng voted for Erickson, and the remaining five jury members—Chrissy, David, Shauhin, Mitch, and Kamilla—voted for Fraser. As a result, Fraser was announced as the winner of Survivor 48.
