What do you get when you mix the psychological warfare of Survivor with the delulu confidence and chaotic hotness of Perfect Match? You get Battle Camp, Netflix’s latest reality competition fever dream. Despite dropping with basically zero fanfare — and sounding low-key ridiculous (reality stars… at camp?) — it’s honestly one of the best reality shows Netflix has dropped in years. We’re talking about egos, betrayal, sketchy challenges, and alliances that are flimsier than people’s commitment to Dry January, in other words, perfect binge content.
But only one reality star can take home the $250k prize. And while the wheel (yes, really) makes the final call, it’s your negotiation skills, athletic prowess, and occasional acting chops (looking at you, Shubham) that get your name on it in the first place. Fully expecting him to pop up in the next Marvel casting call, tbh. So, who brought home the prize?
What Happened In The Finale Of Battle Camp?
We lost Kyle in episode nine, which — plot twist — immediately made everyone realize they actually wanted Trey gone instead. Sorry Kyle, you were collateral damage. Once Kyle got the boot, the game flipped: the teams were officially disbanded, and it was every fame-hungry reality star for themselves. No more group loyalty, just pure survival mode. Nick was the next to go (RIP to the chaos), followed swiftly by Trey, who honestly managed to outmaneuver half the cast despite being on everyone’s hit list since day one. And just like that, we had our final six!!
Episode 10, aka the finale, featured our final six: Quori-Tyler, Chase, Lorenzo, Shubham, Polly, and Georgia. It leaned slightly heavy on Team Wolves, but this squad had it all: brains, brawn, and beauty—Georgia, seriously, call me.
And, of course, there was a twist. Instead of punishing losers, Battle Camp flipped the format and put the winners’ names on the final wheel. Iconic behavior. First up: an ice bath challenge à la Wim Hof, where the goal was to hold your breath the longest. Lorenzo, Georgia, and Chase came out on top — unsurprising since this was round two of icy torture for Georgia and Lorenzo. Cold queens.
Next up was a step-counting challenge (recycled, but we’ll allow it), followed by a grip endurance task. Polly had to tap out due to a hand injury—fair, honestly. Of the remaining four, only two would make it onto the wheel.
Then came the votes, which have consistently been the spiciest part of this whole show. The two The Circle alums, QT and Shubham, obviously voted for each other (further proof that The Circle is a cult). Meanwhile, Georgia and Lorenzo voted for each other—friendly fire never looked so wholesome. That left Polly and Chase, both recently ally-less. Polly made her move and convinced Chase to vote her way. Strategic queen behavior.
Then it was up to… THE WHEEL.
Who Won Battle Camp Season One?
The wheel spun. The drama built. And the winner was… LORENZO!!!
Yes, Squid Game survivor, fashion prince, and owner of the best side-eye in the game, Lorenzo, snagged the Battle Camp crown. Georgia was clearly the most excited for him, and honestly? The real prize was the friendship (plus the $250k, obviously).
“I really believe in energies, so I was trying to channel them for the wheel to land on my name. I still, to this day, cannot believe it did. I manifested and believed I was going to win, and it paid off, didn’t it?” Lorenzo told Netflix. “Maybe I was delusional. I don’t even care… As Justin Bieber once said, ‘Believe.’”
Mark my words: this is not the last time we’ve seen Lorenzo. Netflix, get this man his own show.
