Sia Ends Tradition of Awarding Cash Prizes to 'Survivor' Contestants

After eight years and over $1 million given, the pop star concludes her unique association with the reality show.

Jeff Probst confirmed the end of the 'Sia Prize' after Season 46 of 'Survivor.'
Sia began the tradition in 2016, awarding money to contestants who moved her with their stories.
The singer has given cash prizes ranging from $15,000 to $100,000 to 19 contestants.
Sia's decision to stop the prize was not explained, but her generosity has been praised by Probst.
The 'Sia Prize' was an unofficial addition to 'Survivor,' separate from the show's main $1 million prize.
