It was a tough competition but in the end Deandra, 24, from New Jersey, was confirmed as the ultimate Wilderness Warrior who would be going home with a cash prize of $50,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much, like honestly I just want to cry,\u201d she said upon hearing the news.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the camera, her fellow cast mate Sunny gushed: \u201cThis is going to change her life. This is the perfect choice!\u201d<\/p>\n
Carl added: \u201cI\u2019m happy for her and I just can\u2019t wait to see what life brings her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all did this as a family, like the support and the appreciation,\u201d Deandra told her fellow campmates.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t always easy for Deandra, who Matt and Joel nicknamed the \u201ccheerleader\u201d of the group for often taking a backseat and not helping out. This saw her having to sleep out in the cold on one night as a form of punishment, along with Solomon.<\/p>
And it must have helped with something, with Deandra going on to beat Sunny and Liam in the final.<\/p>\n
Since the show, Deandra has opened her own beauty business, where she does the make-up and her friend works as a hairdresser.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatt and Joel just taught me so much, even simple things. It\u2019s just crazy how one [experience] can change your life forever. These are things that I\u2019m going to take with me for the rest of my life,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
