The theme of this season was, \u201cDavid versus Goliath.\u201d The David Tribe, of which Wilson was a member, was made up of individuals who had scratched and clawed their way through life. The Goliath Tribe was made up of members who had come from a place of privilege and had capitalized on their advantage to crush the competition. After the December 12 show when the final five were announced, Wilson found himself the last David remaining. \u201cI felt like I was up against the whole Philistine Army,\u201d Wilson said. Yet Wilson continued to persevere, reaching the final vote Wednesday night against Mike White and Angelina Keeley. Seconds after the final vote was cast, host Jeff Probst whisked the jar away, explaining the results would be revealed during the live reunion. Wilson received the first vote out of the jar, but White came back with the next three votes. However, the final five votes went in Wilson\u2019s favor, causing the 27-year-old to break down in tears as he hugged his family. Wilson said he had tried to become a contestant multiple times. \u201cI grew up in Sunday School, so when I heard the theme was, \u2018David versus Goliath,\u201d I thought this is the season I\u2019m supposed to be on,\u2019\u201d Wilson said. Wilson, who works in the public defender\u2019s office, said he had initially become an attorney because of the money, but found it was his calling to help those in need. \u201cI felt like this was a calling instead of a career. I can stay in Kentucky and do what I have been called to do,\u201d Wilson said of winning the $1 million prize."}
