Tonight’s season finale of Survivor starts off with a quick recap of the “Blood vs. Water” season. Gervase, Monica, Tyson, Ciera and one player from Redemption Island (either Tina, Hayden or Laura,) will be battling it out.
The remaining four players are returning to Kasama after Hayden’s eviction to Redemption Island. Ciera is hoping that her Mom will be returning from Redemption Island. Tyson is banking on taking Monica and Gervase to the Final 3. He shows Monica the Immunity Idol to secure an alliance with her. Monica doesn’t plan on being their “lap dog” though, she plans on keeping her alliance with them and building one with whoever returns from Redemption Island tomorrow.
Hayden is arriving at Redemption Island, Tina and Laura are surprised to see him. He reveals to them that Ciera won the championship. Hayden confesses that “If it’s Tyson, Gervase, and Monica at the end, he is going to vote for Jeff Probst.” The Redemption Island players receive an invitation for the “final duel.”
Tina, Laura, and Hayden arrive at Redemption Island Arena. Jeff introduces the competition. They must balance with one foot on the ground and one foot on a balancing board, which holds a vase up in the air. When their foot slips, the balance board will drop the vase, and it will shatter. The first two contestants to shatter their vases will be added to the jury, and the last contestant standing will return to Kasama to compete for the grand prize. Hayden drops his case first, he is the 5th member of the jury. Tina and Laura remain, Laura is begging Tina to throw the competition, but she refuses. Laura’s vase drops, she is the 6th member of the jury. Tina wins her first duel and will return to Kasama Island to compete for the grand prize.
Tina, Monica, Gervase, Tyson, and Ceira return to Kasama. Tina has her sights set on finding the Idol, she enlists the help of Ceira. Little do they know Tyson found the Idol weeks ago, and has been holding on to it.
Tina and Ceira pay Monica a visit. Tina confesses to Monica that if she goes all the way the “jury will be ugly.” Ceira tries to make an alliance with herself and Tina sound like a strategic game move. Ceira thinks that if Monica joins forces with them the jury will respect her more for making a big move.
The final five contestants join Jeff for the Immunity Challenge. They will have to pull on a rope attached to a table, and keep the table level while they stack blocks on it. If the blocks topple over they have to start over. The first contestant to stack all of the blocks wins the Immunity Challenge. Tyson wins the Immunity Challenge and a guaranteed spot in the Final Four.
After the Immunity Challenge Monica, Gervase, and Tyson begin debating who they will vote out. Monica is pushing to vote Tina out, because she has no enemies on the jury. Gervase wants to vote out Ciera. He thinks she is a bigger threat than Tina, because she had the audacity to vote out her own Mom. Gervase and Monica get in an argument over who should go home. Monica heads back to camp, and discusses tribal council with Tina and Ciera. Monica realizes she has all of the power in her hands, and she is contemplating making a major move and voting out Gervase.
Tyson, Gervase, Monica, Tina, and Ciera head to Tribal Council. Monica reveals at Tribal Council that Ciera and Tina want to form an alliance with her. Ciera also reminds Monica that Tyson has called her a “lap dog” in the past, although Tyson denies her allegations. Monica breaks down in tears, and states that tonight she is going to make the “most strategic move for Monica.”
It is time for Jeff to tally the votes. Gervase pulls out the Immunity Idol, that Tyson has been holding on to for months, and uses it. Any votes for Gervase will not count. Ciera receives two votes, she is next person voted off Survivor.

Tyson and Gervase discuss the Final Three back at camp. They plan to vote Tina out at Tribal Council. Monica is still upset that Gervase and Tyson his the Immunity Idol form her this entire time, she is contemplating forming an alliance with Tina and voting out Gervase. Monica has to decide whether she has a better chance of beating Tina or Gervase when they go to Jury.

Gervase is going to plead his case first, “I think I played this game great. I used the best of old school and new school Survivor.” He points out that he instigated Aras’s elimination.
Monica starts out by “addressing the elephant in the room.” She doesn’t want people to think that she was dragged along like “a puppy dog on a leash” by Gervase and Tyson. She believes that forming an alliance with Tyson and Gervase was a strategic play on her part.
Tyson says he came into this game knowing he would have a “numero uno target,” on his back. He breaks down in tears, and says he did everything because Rachel made a sacrifice to keep him in the game and he didn’t want to let her down.
Now, it’s time for some of the jury to address the Tyson, Gervase, and Monica.
Vytas goes first. He commends Tyson for getting Aras and himself out, but he also reminds him that he promised Tyson if he voted him out he would not get his jury vote. He is not voting for Tyson. He doesn’t want to vote for Gervase because he feels he rode on Tyson’s coattails. And, he doesn’t want to vote for Monica because she stabbing him in the back. He still is unsure who he will vote for tonight.
Next up is Katie, she starts out by congratulating the Final Three. She calls Tyson out for a statement he made to her when they drew rocks, he rubbed her face in the fact that she was headed to the jury. Tyson apologizes profusely for the statement he made.
Caleb is up next, he has a question for Gervase. He wants to know what Gervase thinks his “big game-changing move was?” Gervase thinks that his biggest move was orchestrating Aras’s eviction. Caleb asks Monica to tell him something “from her heart” about why he should vote for her. Monica breaks down in tears, and confesses that her entire life is about Brad, and for once she wants to accomplish something on her own.

It is Hayden’s turn to address the Final Three. He starts off by asking Tyson where he found the Immunity Idol, because it has been driving him crazy. He then turns his attention to Monica, and accuses her of being “fake,” he doesn’t think that any one has gotten to know the “real Monica.”
Aras is the final juror to question The Final Three. He asks Gervase, “Prove to me you have game-awareness,” he wants to know what Gervase thinks got Tyson or Monica to the Final Three. Gervase thinks Tyson deserves it because he had everyone looking for the Immunity Idol, when he had it the entire time. Monica thinks Tyson deserves it as well because he has been a “charging horse for 39 days.” It’s Tyson’s turn. He shocks the jury and announces he thinks Monica should win, over his ally Gervase. He commends her for keeping their alliance hidden so long, and convincing people that she was “on the bottom.”

Tyson goes on to confess that he tried have an “A, B, C, and D plan in place at all time.”
Even though Monica only received one vote from the jury, Jeff believes that “with every episode she gained the respect of more and more viewers.” Monica believes that she had to prove herself on Survivor, and that she could accomplish something great without Brad by her side.
Jeff asks Gervase why he didn’t “take on more of a leadership role?” Gervase believes that he was “playing smart” by riding on Tyson’s coattails and letting him take all the heat. He confesses that he always had a plan in the back of his head to get rid of Tyson.
Jeff believes that Ciera made the two “biggest moves in the game” this season. It was a game-changer when they drew rocks at Tribal Council, and then shocked everyone when she voted out her own Mom.
It is Colton’s turn on the hot seat, and Jeff wants to know why he quit. Colton confesses that he has always looked for other people to take care of him, and when no one was taking care of him on the island, he freaked out.
