For Meissner, their effortless conversations and shared laughter felt like they had been friends long before the show.

While this friendship didn’t simplify their survival challenges, it definitely made the experience more tolerable.

This friendship was probably their secret sauce for success.

Wolfe won, claiming the grand prize, and Meissner finished third place.

Considering the 18 castaways and Survival’s tough conditions, this was quite a feat.

They welcomed each other into their worlds, occasionally letting the rest of us in on their heartwarming moments.

Impressively, they’ve extended this synergy beyond the beach.

Thanks to Wolfe and Meissner’s great work relationship, the renovation was a resounding success.

“It just sort of happened!

Once we got rolling, you couldn’t stop the momentum if you wanted to!”

For Meissner, collaborating with Wolfe simplified the entire process.

“She already knew me and my style so well.

Humor got us through many obstacles… even on ‘Survivor.'”

Of course, this wouldn’t be the last time the two teamed up.

In the first season, Wolfe was tasked with creating a nursery.

Since it wasn’t in the initial renovation plans, she found herself stretched thin.

“We bounce ideas off each other.

We’re constantly sharing things on Instagram.

But she has good taste and will do a great job on that nursery on her own.”
