Season 44 of Survivor brought us a nearly unanimous victory for the beloved Yam Yam Arocho and introduced the world to the chaos of Carolyn Wiger. But some may forget that it also featured one of the sweetest showmances in reality television history, too!

Frannie Marin and Matt Blankinship bonded over their “nerdiness” and formed a strong connection on the island when they filmed Survivor in 2022. Their season didn’t finish airing until nearly a full year later in May 2023, at which point they confirmed they had continued their relationship off the beach.
