Kiran himself weighed in:
What an amazing journey it has been!

Thank you to absolutely everyone for the kind words🔥🙏🏾 I’m so proud of the game I played and to say I’m a @Survivor_SA alum.
I am steadily making my way through all the posts and just want to say it means the world to me❤️#SurvivorSA
Of course, his bestie Tyson posted a heartfelt note.

And even Chappies had something nice to say!
Give it up to the BEST strategic player #SurvivorSA has ever seen. https://t.co/zxAAGea2Kb

Here are some of the best goodbyes!
One thing about Kiran is that he's the most perceptive player I've ever seen. From Day one right up until now he's always known what's been going on the entire time. Even if he's going home he saw it miles away😭😭😭 that's incredible but so sad😔 #SurvivorSA pic.twitter.com/z3iH94gaiz

Kiran and Tyson now that no one wants to work with them because they've played the game too well #SurvivorSA pic.twitter.com/H2ZhVK5eO7

I really thought Kiran was going to win the season. Absolute shock right now.

Nonetheless, another Survivor great’s journey has come to a close (for now) 😉 #SurvivorSA pic.twitter.com/adqJYy3U2W
Cried real tears at the boot. A wonderful player, a top-tier strategist & someone I'm grateful to now call a great friend. I loved watching them apply their super fandom to playing the game with immense logic, intellect & heart in a game any fan would be so proud of #SurvivorSA

Pouring 1 out for an all time duo. Kison, Tyran, whatever it was, these 2 were the perfect complement. Fire & water, action & thought, our Dom & Wendell. They pulled off huge moves together & their farewell at camp & tribal hit me hard. So much love for this epic pair #SurvivorSA
