Rick Devens may not have won the latest season of “Survivor”, but he still came away with quite the award.
“Survivor” superfan Sia gifted Devens $100,000, with Jeff Probst announcing the news during the finale taping.
The hitmaker’s contributions have become known as the “Sia Award.”

Just Jared reports that Probst said: “We happen to have a superfan, who is Sia, this global pop star. She just loves ‘Survivor’. And every season, she created her own award. The Sia Award, which she gives to the contestant she was most entertained by.”
“And I’m happy to say, Rick Devens, this season, the Sia Award goes to you. It’s a very nice award. It is $100,000. And the reason is, I want to be really clear, because it sounds crazy. This is the truth, Sia says, ‘I’ve been so lucky in my life. I like to share my success and I get a lot of enjoyment from this show.’”

Devens came in fourth place this season, telling Entertainment Weekly of Sia’s gift: “I was absolutely floored when it happened and I am still riding high from it.”
“Sia singlehandedly took what was a very depressing night, watching my demise, and turned it around. My wife broke down in the front of the audience. She was going nuts.”
Wednesday’s season finale of “Survivor: Edge of Extinction” saw Chris Underwood be crowned the winner.
“Survivor” returns to Global with season 39 this fall.
