Unfortunately, the “Sia Prize” has come to an end, according to Jeff Probst.

The host just posted a statement on his Instagram Stories to share all of the details about the end of the prize and the legacy of her fandom.

It’s the end of one of the most unique eras in the history of Survivor.

After eight years, 14 seasons, 19 players and over 61,000,000 awarded, Survivor is officially bringing the Sia Prize to a triumphant end!

I still vividly remember the day Sia stood up in the audience during the live finale of Survivor: Kaoh Rong back in 2016 and made her way onstage. She was so taken by Tai’s commitment to protecting a chicken from being eaten that she awarded him $50,000 of her own money.

Tai was shocked, the audience was shocked, I was shocked! What was happening? Sia was on stage in her wig handing out money to a Survivor player!?

That was the beginning of what became affectionately known as “The Sia Prize.” And over the many years Sia has brought so much joy to so many players and it was always straight from her heart.

So it is with tremendous gratitude and admiration to Sia that we bring to a close one of the most unique relationships a TV show could ever have with a pop star of Sia’s global wattage.

I’m really honored for Survivor to have this one of a kind association with Sia. She’s in the Survivor Hall Of Fame of Superfans!

See who received the money last year!
