The Vince Panaro Controversy

While the win was a personal triumph for Hollis, she didn’t shy away from addressing her rocky relationship with Vince Panaro. In an interview with Us Weekly following the finale, Hollis said she had “no regrets” about calling out Panaro on live television. She accused him of manipulative gameplay and claimed his approach “crossed a line,” sparking post-finale debates among fans about strategy versus personal boundaries.
