Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. Out<\/s> I do. <\/p>\n

Survivor<\/em> competitors Joe Anglim<\/strong> and Sierra Dawn Thomas<\/strong> announced their engagement on Tuesday. These two CBS all-stars go way back to 2014 when they first locked eyes on the sandy beaches of Nicaragua during Survivor: Worlds Apart, <\/em>although they didn’t start dating immediately after the show.<\/p>\n

Both Anglim and Thomas posted about the joyous news on social media. Thomas’ photo showed the beautiful teardrop diamond<\/a> on her perfectly painted yellow fingernails.<\/p>\n

“Forever and ever, amen,” she captioned it.<\/p>\n

Anglim’s snapshot showed him and his signature man bun kissing his newly minted fianc\u00e9e’s hand with the ring on full display.<\/p>\n

According to People<\/em>,<\/a> the proposal was a complete and total surprise. <\/p>\n

32-year-old Thomas explained to the magazine that they were on their way back from Anglim’s sister’s wedding in Arizona and made a pit-stop in Utah to camp for the evening.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“We pulled in just as the sun was setting, and we decided to go for a little walk. We found the perfect swinging chair facing the mountains and the most beautiful sunset. There were even some deer running across a dirt road!” she told People.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After sitting down and popping open a bottle of bottle of ros\u00e9, Anglim apparently started professing his love nonstop but she didn’t think anything of it.<\/p>\n

“He was explaining his love for me, and I would say, ‘Yeah, baby. I love you too!'” Thomas said.<\/p>\n

She continued, “But then he got off the swing, reached into his coat, and got on one knee. It finally hit me what he was doing. I started crying, and he started crying! We were both crying.” Thus, she was given a teardrop sparkler and accepted his romantic proposal.<\/p>\n

Thomas told the magazine that she had “no idea” he would propose but that they’re “going to live happily ever after!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Both Thomas and Anglim have competed on multiple seasons of the reality show, which is now in its 38th season. This moment is a bit meta for Survivor<\/em> fans. Anglim vied for the win on Survivor: Cambodia\u2014Second Chance<\/em> in 2015, and he’s also on the current season of Edge of Extinction.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thomas made her strategic moves on Survivor: Game Changers<\/em> as well.<\/p>\n

Neith Anglim nor Thomas won their respective seasons (well, Edge of Extinction<\/em> <\/em>is TBD), but it’s clear that their love has outlived any competition.<\/p>\n
