As one of three players eligible for the title of "sole survivor," White earned three votes, including one from fan-favorite Christian Hubicki, one of the targets of White's blindsides. In casting his vote for White to win the season, Hubicki praised White's "transformative game," saying, "I hope this changes how the game is played."

Angelina Keeley, best remembered for her viral moment asking for a jacket after being voted out, swapped island survival for luxury, playing a wealthy beachgoer at The White Lotus’s Italian resort. Fellow Goliath tribemate Kara Kay, who was eliminated just before the final vote, joined Keeley in a brief yet stylish beach cameo.
