The Weirdest Group Ever Assembled (Part 2)

Author's Note:
I went back and discovered that node count issues had ruined the formatting on the finale of this season, so I split the episode into two parts to avoid that.

Tribal Council
The camera fades back in as the final four all make their way into tribal council, setting down their belongings and taking a seat.

Probst: I'll now bring in the members of the jury... Cameron, Matt, Samantha, Gordon, Corey, Amanda, and Alex, voted out at the last tribal council.

(The jurors all make their way in and sit down, with Alex smiling over at the final four as Lacey whistles.)

Lacey: Alex looks amazing after a shower.

Margot: Hardly.

(The camera focuses back to Jeff as everyone settles in.)

Probst: Welcome to your last tribal council that you will be voting someone out of this game. Let me start with you, Noah. Congratulations on your first immunity win at arguably the most important individual immunity challenge to win. What was going through your head when you won that?

Noah: I just... I really thought it was impossible for me to win anything. I came out here, and I expected to be the first one voted out, so to have not only pulled out a win, but to have won the final immunity challenge, it's the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. I'm seriously so grateful for everything out here, but that... that's just something I don't have words to express.

Probst: Lacey, when you see someone so caught up in the emotions of winning the challenge, what do you make of it?

Lacey: Oh, I feel what he's feeling. Noah and I have been on a tribe together for the majority of this game, and we were together at the very start of everything. What I'm feeling must be what all the mums out there feel when they see their kid score a goal, or a touchdown, or whatever. I just feel so proud to have seen Noah grow this much throughout the game, and yeah, I think it's great.

(Lacey begins to tear up.)

Probst: Wow. You're getting choked up over this.

Lacey: Well, yeah. He's really one of my best friends, not just out here, but in the world. I'm really proud of what he's overcome as a player and as a person.

Probst: Jackson, when you see two people openly expressing how close they are in the final four, does it raise red flags for you?

Jackson: Not at all. I've spent most of the game working with these two, and I know how important their friendship has been to one another. I think you have to just have a human side as well as a game side Jeff, and so I too am really proud of Noah, even if him winning puts me in danger.

Probst: So, if the three of you have been working together, does that leave you on the outs Margot?

Margot: Yeah, but I work through stuff like this all the time. I'm a hardcore player, and I don't give up.

(Alex rolls her eyes, as Samantha tries to stop herself from laughing, with Matt smiling at Margot.)

Probst: What pitch do you make to these three to get them to split apart?

Margot: I think my time spent at camp after the challenge was largely spent alone. I know what the reality of this situation is, and it's that I'm probably going to a fire duel. I needed to practise making fire, and I did. Now, I had time for little one on one conversations, but I stayed far away from the politics going on between the three of them, because see these three faces Jeff?

(Margot gestures between the other three.)

Margot: These guys have little cracks forming, and I've gotten myself into them.

Probst: Which is why I assume you're convinced on a fire duel happening?

Margot: That is correct.

Probst: Noah, does that at all come as a shock to you?

Noah: No, I think we know there's a strong likelihood of our three not exactly voting together tonight.

Probst: And why is that? Three in a group of four seems like a no brainer from where I'm sitting.

Noah: Well, people don't like to feel like they've been dragged through the game. I think the person that wants to flip the vote wants to show the jury that they're not just along for the ride.

Probst: And who would that be?

Jackson: Me, Jeff.

(Amanda shakes her head in disgust, as Alex and Corey look on surprised.)

Jackson: I think I've been viewed as someone who goes under people's wings and someone that doesn't really make decisions of my own. I disagree with that entirely, but I think for me, tonight's decision is about making one for myself, not for others.

Probst: So with Noah immune, I'm assuming you're talking about voting for Lacey?

Jackson: Yeah, that's the decision I'm tossing up on.

Probst: Lacey, how do you feel being so openly targeted?

Lacey: I don't particularly like it obviously, but from the standpoint of a game player, I respect it. Jackson had the balls to come to me one on one and told me straight up that it was a decision he was considering. That goes a long way in my books, because I think at this stage of the game, there's really no reason to have to lie about the vote. That just adds someone to the jury that you've pissed off for no reason.

(The camera focuses on Jackson, who nods, thinking about his choice to make.)

Probst: Noah, you're the one with the necklace, but after tonight, immunity means nothing. You're left to battle it out against two other people for the title of Sole Survivor, but the power shifts from your hands to the jury's. Does this decision tonight impact the jury vote at all for you?

Noah: Yes. Whoever leaves tonight, that could really impact which way votes go, and I hope my vote attributes to the people sitting at the end that I want.

Probst: Alright, on that note, it is time to vote. Margot, you're up.

(Margot walks to the voting booth, casting a vote, before placing it in the urn and walking back. Jackson heads up next, thinking through his vote, before holding it up to the camera with the name not shown.)"adirren"

- This is the hardest decision I've had to make in this game, and I hope it's one that the jury respects. If not, I may have lost a million bucks.

(Jackson places his vote in the urn, before Lacey comes up to vote, writing a vote for Margot and placing it in the urn. Finally, Noah heads up, writing his vote, before holding it up, with the name not seen.)"adirren"

- I'm nervous, my hands are shaking, and I'm the one wearing the necklace. I hope this all goes well... please all go well...

(Noah places his vote in the urn, before taking a deep breath, and walking back to join the others.)

Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

(Everyone waits patiently as Jeff goes to grab the urn, before he returns with it in hand.)

Probst: Once the votes are read the decision is final, person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. First vote...

Thirteenth person voted out and the eighth and final member of the jury... LACEY. Lacey, that's three, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.

(Margot punches the air as Lacey and Jackson both look to Noah in shock, with Noah burying his face into his hands, unable to face either of them.)

Lacey: Bro... what the hell?

(Lacey slowly gets up, patting Jackson on the back as she makes her way over to get her torch. As she passes the jury, Alex looks on in complete dismay, as Samantha looks saddened. Lacey keeps walking with her torch, heading over and placing it in the slot, still in shock.)

Lacey: I guess... I don't... wow.

Probst: Lacey, your tribe has spoken.

(Jeff snuffs her torch.)

Probst: Time for you to go.

Lacey: Yeah...

(Lacey walks down the ramp, still stunned by the vote, and once she is out of sight, Jeff turns to the final three.)

Probst: Congratulations, you are the final three. Tomorrow night, one of you will be crowned our Sole Survivor, so I suggest you get some rest, and think long and hard about what case to make to the jury. Goodnight.

Noah, Jackson and Margot stand up, with tears pouring down Noah's face. They each grab their bags as well as their torches, before heading down and out of tribal, before the camera fades out.

Final Words
"adirren"

- I can't believe Noah would turn on me like that. I mean, obviously it had crossed my mind, but after everything we had gone through, I thought the least he could do is follow Jackson's lead and tell me. I thought he had my vote locked if I left tonight, but after I said time and time again that I would respect someone if they were to tell me they were voting me out, he still didn't. That sort of gameplay... it baffles me. I'm seriously lost for words. I want to take this time to just ignore all that, even if I'm seriously pissed right now, because regardless of that, this has been a dream come true and an absolutely amazing experience for me. I can't believe I came this far knowing so little about the outdoors and survival skills, and I think the jury's reaction to me leaving says it all about my gameplay. I was so close, but I fell short, but that's life. I'll bounce back, I'll get up, and I'll congratulate whoever wins it, but damn. I need a beer.

Adirren Tribe
The camera fades back in to the Adirren camp at night, with the final three all walking up the beach into camp, setting aside their torches, before all pausing.

Jackson: Here we are guys, the final three.

Noah: Y... yeah...

(Noah, with tears rolling down his face, takes a deep breath in and sighs.)"adirren"

- ...so here we are again. Me breaking down after turning on a really close friend, only this time it was on purpose. I... I feel so [expletive], like, I'm genuinely a horrible person for that... ugh, why am I so terrible? I could have just told her like Jackson did, but now I seem like the bad guy because I just voted out Lacey after everything she's done for me... the jury is going to hate me. I know for a certain fact that Lacey was going to beat me, so now I have to win, otherwise voting out Lacey would be pointless... I just hope she doesn't hate me.

(Following Noah's confessional, the camera cuts to where Margot is sitting by the dimly lit fire, a wide smile on her face as she smirks.)

Margot: Too easy..."adirren"

- I stayed in the game through yet another vote, and I think it really is going to hit home hard with the jury just how damn amazing I played. Seriously, I've had so much backseat driver power that it's insane. I've been on the bottom so much and for so long, and yet I've still dictated how votes have gone and saved myself all season long. If anyone is the puppet master of this game, it's me. I have the million in my sights now, and there's no more challenges for these boys to win to protect them anymore. I can go all guns blazing into that final tribal council, and I can win over everyone onto my side. Sole Survivor will never sound better than when it's a prefix to Margot Tyndall.

(As a short while passes, Noah and Margot both head off to bed, leaving Jackson on his own by the fire. Grabbing his torch, he sets it alight, before walking through the forest using the torch's light to guide him, giggling along the way. As he reaches the stream, he begins to strip down to his underwear, before jumping off a rock into the stream with a splash. As he splashes about, he finally leans back in the water, happily sighing and looking up to the stars.)"adirren"

- I'm like a little kid right now that just has so much energy. I made it to the end of Survivor. This is so amazing and I have no idea what the hell to do because everything is just so exciting right now. I may keep it together most of the time, but I'm a big kid at heart, and I'm just so over the moon that I really made it to the end. There's nothing in the world that could compare to the elation I'm feeling right now. So few people get to even be on the show, much less in the final three, and I'm not taking a second of this for granted. So yeah, I'll gladly go for a little night swim.

As Jackson continues swimming around, the camera pans up to the sky, before fading out.

Adirren Tribe
The camera fades back in to a beautiful sunrise over the horizon, with waves gently crashing to the rocky shoreline of the Adirren camp. Following this, the camera pans across, showing the camp, before making its way to show the final three, all asleep in the shelter, before Noah suddenly jerks awake.

Noah: (excitedly) GUYS IT'S DAY THIRTY NINE! WE GET BREAKFAST!

(Jackson and Margot both are woken up by this, rubbing their eyes and sitting up.)

Noah: Come on! Come on! Get up! Breakfast guys!

Margot: Five more minutes...

Noah: No! We need it now!

Jackson: Come on Margot, it's the last thing we have to actually do out here.

Margot: Fine.

Noah: Yes!

(Noah excitedly leads the other two as they all make their way to treemail, seeing a large picnic basket as well as a seperate container of all the cooking utensils they could need. Excitedly, Noah opens the basket, as the other two sit down on a picnic rug laid out for the final three.)

Noah: Eggs!

Jackson: No way, there's bacon!

Margot: Spinach!

(Noah and Jackson look confusedly at Margot.)

Jackson: Thirty nine days of starving and spinach is your first thing you're happy for?

Margot: Yes. I like spinach.

Jackson: Fair enough.

(As Jackson and Margot begin to unload all the supplies, Noah looks on still bubbly with giddiness.)"adirren"

- Waking up this morning was like an absolute dream come true. I'm such a huge fan of Survivor, so to be at the final three and to have the breakfast as a symbol of making it all the way to the end, it was just beyond anything I can comprehend. Seriously, there's nothing more amazing than going through thirty nine days of starving away; I'm already super skinny, but after thirty nine days my rib cage is more visible than ever; after all this time, I can finally just sit down and take my mind off things with what looks like all the food in the world, and it's going to just be so relaxing and put me in the right mindset for the final tribal. I think saying I've been up and down and everywhere between in this game is an understatement, but for me, I'm definitely now confident that I actually have a fighting chance. Who knows, this all could still go belly up, but for now, I'm going to enjoy a mother[expletive]'ing omelette... sorry for swearing if you watch this mum.

(There is a brief montage of the final three all cooking up the various food items, before setting aside the utensils and all beginning to eat, each taken aback by the tastes.)

Jackson: This is the best thing I've ever eaten.

(Noah tries to respond, but his speaking is completely inaudible as he has a mouthful of food.)

Margot: I agree with whatever he said."adirren"

- This meal for us is the last supper, and it couldn't be more fitting that I'm sitting here with Judas and Jesus. Noah is a little Judas, turning on all the people closest to him like Corey and Lacey, and I think that's going to make the whole jury super pissed off at him. He sold out his friends for some cash that he's not even going to get the jury votes to enjoy. As for our golden boy Jackson, he's Jesus. He gets up, goes out, gets us fish, and always puts others first. Thankfully for me, in the game of Survivor, putting others first is terrible gameplay, and he has no case to make. Where do I sit in this? Well... uh... I don't actually know much about the bible, so let's just say I'm the person that crucifies them both. I'm about to nail them down, and when this jury hears my case tonight, there's no way they won't bow down before me and hand over their jury votes. This is a thirty nine day game, and you can't sit around idly for any of it. I played the greatest game of anyone here, so these two can fight it out for second while I'm back home spending my million on a Nintendo Switch or something.

(Following Margot's confessional, the final three each get up, heading over to where a sheet is covering a tall object, and upon pulling off the sheet, a mirror is revealed beneath it, with Noah, Jackson and Margot each seeing their reflection for the first time since the start of the game.)

Noah: What the hell? I don't even look different!

Margot: Speak for yourself, I've gone so ugly! Why is my regrowth so bad?

Noah: Over a month without hair dye?

Margot: Oh yeah...

Jackson: I can't believe I have a beard... and I'm so skinny.

Noah: I can't believe I don't have a beard! This is rigged! How come after thirty nine days I can't even grow one at all?

Jackson: This is crazy..."adirren"

- Seeing my reflection for the first time since this started, it cemented just how insane it is that I've come this far. Thirty nine days is such a long time, and I just can't even fathom how ridiculous it is that I made it all this way. From the very start, I played as myself, I stuck true to what I'm all about and my own morals, and even when people were coming for me I managed to escape being seen as a threat, yet still was able to win multiple immunities and make some moves. There's so much riding on me pulling out a win at final tribal council, and looking back on my game, I think I'm really proud of how it's all gone down. There can only be one winner, but there's so much more to this than winning. I've appreciated every second of my time spent out here, and so if I win, that's just absolutely incredible, but if I don't, then hey, at least I got to experience all of this.

There is a brief timeskip to later in the afternoon, where everyone begins picking up their belongings, before solemnly walking down the Adirren tribe beach for the last time. As they pass the tribe flag and continue talking to tribal, the camera pans up to the now star-covered sky.

Final Tribal Council
The final three all walk into tribal, with the camera following them up the track. As they see Jeff, they set down their belongings, placing their torches into the slots for the last time, before sitting down.

Probst: We'll now bring in the members of the jury, Cameron, Matt, Samantha, Gordon, Corey, Amanda, Alex, and Lacey, voted out at the last tribal council.

(The jurors all sit down as Noah buries his face into his hands, unable to face Lacey who looks dejected.)

Probst: Congratulations, you are our final three. You have come as far as you can in this game and now will be tasked with one final goal; to win over the eight jurors you see before you. In a moment I'll ask each of you to give and opening statement, then the jurors will have a chance to ask any questions to help with their decision, after which they will cast their votes and we will have our winner. With that out of the way, Margot, you're up.

Margot: Okay, so as you're probably aware if you actually paid attention, I was in control of this game. I had everything go perfectly for me since the very start of it all, and so I'm pretty much the best strategic player there is, so I deserve your votes. I started the game on a tribe with Corey and Alex, and right away got Corey onto my side and he was never going to vote me out over her. At the swap, I got into control once again, teaming up with Matt as a strong power duo to blindside Elijah with an idol in his pocket. We then both held strong until merge, but there we got turned on by some idiots who don't know how to play the game, and he went home. Even though that happened, I recovered and played my cards from the bottom perfectly. I was so good that I destroyed people's stuff, admitted to it, walked around with a fake idol, and people still kept me. I kept playing from the bottom and making secret moves, and that's why I survived over Alex, and even Lacey who has been close to these guys for ages. If you want a strategic winner, there's zero people up here or even over on the jury with you that outwitted me at all. So, with this being a game, I think I'm definitely the one who played the hardest and the best, so vote for me and stuff.

(Matt puts his thumbs up at Margot, as Alex and Samantha both finally crack and burst out laughing, causing Margot to roll her eyes.)

Probst: Alright, Noah, the floor is yours.

Noah: Cool. So, I just want to start by saying I'm so proud of the fact I'm here. I made it so far into the game when I didn't even think I'd make it past the first round, and I think I grew so much as a person out here. I was the quiet little disabled kid that couldn't do anything and was a burden in challenges and yet I made it all the way to the end without a single vote cast against me. I'd... uh... I'd like to think that's from me playing well. So yeah, needless to say, the fact I was able to break out of my shell and discover things about myself out here... it's really cool.

(Amanda, Samantha and Alex smile.)

Noah: As for the gameplay side of things, I think you guys might think that I was overly emotional or was paranoid a lot, and I agree with the first part. There wasn't a vote I didn't feel bad after, and I broke down several times throughout the game. If that's a bad thing, then so be it, but I just let myself play the game as me. I made some decisions that...

(Noah begins to tear up.)

Noah: That really hurt me emotionally. The issue with making friends with people was that when I voted against them, it hurt the both of us, and two people in particular know I'm talking about them. I guess I'm not sorry for doing it, because it got me to where I am, but I'm sorry for the way I did it and that I hurt you. At the end of the day, I came into this the most ill-equipped to be out here, and yet I pulled off moves, I made alliances, I blindsided people, and I even somehow won an individual immunity challenge. This is already a dream come true and I just hope you guys liked my game enough to give me the icing on the cake.

(Jackson gives Noah a pat on the back as he wipes his eyes.)

Probst: Alright. Last but not least, Jackson, you're up.

Jackson: Thank you sir.

(Jackson clears his throat.)

Jackson: Okay, so first things first, I'm not about to give you a sob story. If I win this game, I want it to be on my own merit and the decisions I've made, not on any sort of personal matters or just out of pity. Yes, my brother and my family were big parts of the game for me, but that's not what I want my story to be. When we hit the beach, I knew I had to work fast because we were in tribes of three. One wrong slip and you're gone, and so I worked hard around camp, I built connections with both Matt and Amanda, and I fought hard in challenges. When I needed a way in, I was able to rely on my social game to get me that in. I found Amanda searching for an idol, so instead of exposing her for it, I found the idol and gave it to her, that way we solidified that trust. In this regard, I stayed true to myself and was willing to be the guy that people liked. On the contrary, there were times I had to go against what I personally felt was right, turning against my moral compass. The last three vote offs in particular were all ones I was a big part of and ultimately ones that were voting out people dear to me, and that was just an unfortunate cost I had to pay...

(Jackson sighs.)

Jackson: Look, at the end of the day, I was the one taking the time out of my day to talk to each and every person and learn about you, because I knew if we could have that connection, people would trust me. Who else would know that Corey drinks pumpkin spice lattes despite not liking pumpkin because he likes to be festive, or that Noah's pet peeve is when his cat cleans herself while he's trying to sleep. Samantha, you hate balloons because a clown popped one near you as a kid. Alex isn't really a graphic designer and are actually a programmer, Amanda thinks Fifty Shades of Grey is a great book. I remember all of this about all of you, because we had a personal connection and I learnt all of it. I always got filled in on plans because I was able to be the guy everyone wanted to come to, and even so, I still was able to win multiple immunities and make some strategic moves without ever really being a big target. I think I've done enough to be the Sole Survivor, and I hope that you all think that too. I await your questions eagerly, thanks for listening I guess.

(Amanda shakes her head.)

Probst: Alright, we now hand over to the jury who will get to say a few words, Cameron, you're up first.

Cameron: Sweet.

(Cameron stands up, clapping his hands together.)

Cameron: So something you all don't know, is that I was actually in the NFL for several years and played professional football. As such, I really take pride in the physical side of this game. Here's the issue; I'm the strongest one physically, yet both myself and the lady who won four immunities are sitting on the jury, so it limits my options. As such, I'm only going to talk to the two of you that actually won an individual immunity, so Margot, shut up.

Margot: Jeez.

Cameron: I said shut up. Okay, so my question is for Noah. Jackson won two immunities, and yet you won just one. In what way do you think your one win outshines Jackson's two, because that's how I'm going to be voting.

Noah: Okay... well... I did win the final immunity challenge, and that's the most important one of all of them, but more than that, I'm me. Jackson is a super strong guy who builds houses and carries stuff around for a living, and I'm not athletic at all. Even with this, I was able to win the final immunity, which I think is pretty impressive since I'm not someone who would normally win challenges.

Cameron: Okay, thank [expletive] you didn't answer with your whole 'poor me, I'm disabled' shtick.

Jackson: Woah, that's a bit unfair. It's not like he can control having a disability.

Cameron: Why the [expletive] are you defending him? You're fighting against him for a million dollars don't talk for him you idiot! Jesus, you just made my decision a lot more complicated... I've heard enough Jeff.

(Cameron walks back and sits down, shaking his head.)

Probst: Alright, next up we have Corey.

Corey: Yay!

(Corey gets up and skips over to the finalists, standing in front of them.)

Corey: Okay, so you three are three of the people I got most close too out here, so I just want to start this with some hugs. A hug for Margot...

(Corey and Margot hug as Margot laughs.)

Corey: A hug for Jackson...

(Corey moves over and tightly hugs Jackson.)

Corey: And...

(Corey and Noah look at each other as Noah smiles, before Corey sighs and turns away, with Noah's smile fading.)

Corey: I don't know about you Noah. You hurt me, like, really badly. I literally don't know what the hell happened, but I thought you and I were friends. You were like, my best friend out here, and you were one of just two people responsible for voting me out. I'm really just like, ugh. I want to know if it was real, and like, why I should vote for you even though you betrayed me.

Noah: I... I'm sorry.

Corey: Noah, I don't want a sorry. You literally already said that you weren't sorry, like, five minutes ago in your speech. I don't care that you voted me out and stuff, I just like, thought we were friends but now I don't know if we are anymore.

Noah: C... Corey... everything that we... that we talked about, it was genuine. You're on the most amazing people I've ever met... and I can't count on my two hands the amount of times I've broken down over betraying you. I've been distraught, and I realise that I'm selfish, but I think voting you out opened me up to a part of myself that I otherwise wouldn't have ever seen... it's because of you that I finally found myself.

Corey: What's the story this time? There's always a story isn't there.

Noah: I finally found myself in that... well... I had feelings for you. I think you're great and I hope we can still talk and be friends after this... and maybe more than that. I just... voting you out is the thing that has haunted me the most in this game. I'm sorry for hurting you.

(Corey sighs.)

Corey: Okay... a hug for Noah.

(Corey and Noah hug.)

Corey: And... um... with that out of the way, I do actually, like, still have questions. Jackson, you're sitting here and saying you have a super great social game, so I want you to tell me where each juror is from.

Jackson: In order? Missouri, Ohio, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, New York, Florida and Pennsylvania.

Corey: You sir are correct. See, you took the time to get to know all of us, and it wasn't even for your personal gain. That's literally just who you are as a person, and that's like, really admirable. Thanks. Good luck to all of you.

(Corey returns to his seat on the jury and sits down.)

Probst: Alright. Samantha, you're up.

Samantha: Hell yeah!

(Samantha gets up and walks to her place, smiling.)

Samantha: Alright, so congratulations to the three of you. What I like here is that we have three very different styles of gameplay. Noah was the strategic one, who at times was a little emotional and all over the place, but in the end of the day, outwitted all of us, even if he did hide behind Lacey for a bit. I respect that. Jackson was the social one who outplayed all of us. You could look him in the eyes and talk to him and know that what he was saying was genuine, and in the few times it wasn't you didn't care anyway. If Jackson was to stab you in the back, you'd be apologising for getting blood on his knife.

(Amanda glares at Samantha and rolls her eyes in disagreement.)

Samantha: Then... then we have Margot. You did... stuff. I mean, you made it to the end, so there's that, but I think you killed your chances at winning the game about seventeen times over, because this is a jury vote. You actually need people to like you in order to win, so whatever the weird daddy thing you and Matt have going on isn't going to win you the game, that's one vote.

(Alex and Lacey both laugh as Matt is confused.)

Samantha: In terms of actually having a question, I think my one question is to Margot, and I'd like to know why the hell someone who came into the game playing smart became so damn stupid at the end.

Margot: I wasn't stupid, and I did everything with a purpose. I was able to play from the bottom and make huge and impactful decisions to get myself here. If you're calling me stupid for when I stole from people, I think you need to respect that it's a game and that there's no crossing the line. Actually... I wanted to apologise to you with a gesture of good will...

(Margot reaches into her bag, taking out Samantha's shirt she buried, tossing it to Samantha.)

Margot: If I was stupid and inconsiderate, I wouldn't be giving you back this.

Samantha: W... wait. You really think giving me my own shirt back is garnering you anything? Oh my god that's the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. Thanks for the shirt back I guess, and as for you two guys...

(Samantha looks over at Noah and Jackson.)

Samantha: May the best man win.

(Samantha walks back over to sit down as Margot shakes her head in frustration.)

Probst: Okay, next up we have Amanda.

(Jackson gulps as Amanda gets up and walks over.)

Amanda: I have been waiting for six days to speak my mind on this, so here we go. Jackson, you're a hypocritical and selfish pig who needs to get off his high horse and take some [expletive]'ing responsibility for your actions. You made me promise after promise that we'd go to the end together, and I set aside so many other plans I could have gone with so that we could move forward together, and you came to me so upset that you were going that I was willing to play my own idol on you, and in the meantime you teamed up with your little friendship circlejerk to vote me out behind my back. You spent the entire game preaching that you were an honourable and kind person and that you were never going to turn on those you were close to, yet you did it with me. How the hell can you call yourself a good person if you're willing to throw me away like that? I'm definitely going to be casting my vote for one of the other two, so good riddance and good luck with living with the guilt that you turned against me.

(Amanda begins to walk away.)

Jackson: You want me to take responsibility? I'm not upset in the slightest that I voted you out.

(Amanda turns back, shocked.)

Jackson: I made the call that you had to go, and I stuck to it. I'm here for more than just whatever friendship you and I built, and I know that I couldn't be sitting here with you and expect the win. You're cool and all, but I wanted you gone and you left. If that's selfish of me, then I guess I have to live with that, but the decision I made was for a million dollars and for my family. That takes precedence.

(Amanda looks at Jackson, completely speechless and unsure what to say.)

Amanda: Uh... th- thankyou.

(Amanda walks back to sit down, still stunned, as Alex nods approvingly at Jackson.)

Probst: Alex, you're up.

(Alex gets up and slowly makes her way over.)

Alex: Congratulations on making the final two Noah and Jackson... oh wait there's three of you. Let's just ignore the weird tumour that seems to have attached itself to the two of you.

(Margot goes to speak.)

Alex: (cutting her off) So! I'm pretty stoked to see two people who played strong but different games. Noah, you were the quiet and happy kid who was emotional and stuff, but you had this secret dark side of blindsiding all your closest allies and that's pretty damn cool to see from a guy like you. Jackson, you were the golden boy that was good at everything, and you made everyone just eat out of your hands this whole game. I'm a little disappointed that it took you so long to actually use that for your own benefit instead of going with the flow the whole time, because you could have done some crazy things, but hey, you still got here. So, what I want from both of you is to tell me what the other person's biggest move was. If you couldn't tell, I like big and flashy plays, so I want to see your perspective on each other's moves. Go.

Noah: I'd say Jackson's is pretty obviously voting out Amanda. He was able to solidify him with Lacey and I and he did it all whilst Amanda had an idol. That's pretty big.

Jackson: I think as far as big moves go, Noah was a part of a lot of them, but if I had to pinpoint one that I'd say is his move, I'd say a big one was Tyler. I wasn't there myself, but from my understanding, Noah was able to lead a charge to take out Tyler who Corey was inseparable from, and yet he still remained really close with Corey afterwards. That's a pretty big play to me.

Alex: Hm. Interesting. Well, I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed that I can't vote for Lacey, but I'm thankful the two of you are there so I at least have someone to vote for. Grandma Alex out bitches.

(Alex pretends to drop a mic, before walking back over to her seat and sits down.)

Probst: Okay, Matt, you're up.

(Matt clears his throat before walking over.)

Matt: So guys, congratulations on making it as far as you did. My attention tonight is going to be dedicated to the type of winner I want to see win. Margot, I think you've gotten an unfair roast from these jurors who can't see how you really played the game. Do you have anything to say for yourself in that regard?

Margot: I think I summed it up alright earlier, but I just want people to see that I was an underdog and I had to play from the bottom the whole game. I think people are mad that I got here and they didn't, which is pretty unfair to hold against me. You all put me on the bottom, and I rose above that, so you should just vote who played the best not who you were closest with. That's really all I have to say on that matter.

Matt: Okay. I just wanted to say, I'm really proud of you for sticking to your word and playing the game with integrity.

(Samantha looks confusedly at Matt.)

Matt: Thanks.

(Matt heads over and sits down.)

Probst: Alright, next we have Lacey.

(Noah sighs as Lacey gets up.)

Lacey: I'm hopefully going to make this speech short like Cameron's temper. Noah, Jackson, you two voting me out was hard. I don't hold it against you Jackson, because you had the balls to come talk to me. Noah, you and I have been close since the very start, and at final four, there's no idols, there's no advantages. You had zero reason to not tell me other than you being scared. I want to give you the chance to elaborate on that, so go.

Noah: El... elaborate how?

Lacey: However you see fit.

Noah: Well, uh, I just wanted to say that it was the hardest thing I had to do out here. I knew I had no chance at beating you, and I had the slightest glimmer of hope that I could do okay against these two. You not only played the game amazingly, but you also were just an awesome person to be with and... I messed up. After hearing these speeches, I now see the mistake I made, because... people don't respect my game. If I'm not going to win, I shouldn't have deprived you from winning.

(Noah begins tearing up.)

Lacey: For [expletive]'s sake Noah! Just own it for once! Don't cry that you voted me out because you already did that and you can't take it back now. You have to just have confidence in yourself. I was so proud of you when you voted me out, because you finally took the game into your own hands. Please, please, please just own it.

Noah: S... so you don't hate me?

Lacey: No, Noah. I could never hate you. I just wish you were able to really own it as your own move, because now yet again, stuff you did has gone to other people, because that's now Jackson's play.

Noah: O... okay. I did it.

(Lacey smiles at Noah.)

Lacey: Thank you. Can I move on Jeff?

Probst: By all means, do.

Lacey: Okay, now my hopefully more brief talk to you, Jackson. I really think we underestimated you because everyone thought you'd just go with the flow and do as you were told, but you really broke out into your own mind at the end. My question for you, was it too late?

Jackson: I think it was at the perfect time. Had I started turning on people sooner, I would have been a big threat and a massive target to go home. I made myself the least threatening I possibly could by just being friendly, working around camp, and that meant that when I finally did start playing more aggressively, no one was prepared for it. It was my little trump card I could pull out at the very end.

Lacey: Hm. Nicely put. Okay gentlemen, I thank you for your time. You both have made my decision very difficult, so I just want to say, no matter which way I vote, you're still two of the best friends I've ever had and I thank you dearly for all the cool times we've had together. Thanks.

(Lacey bows before the finalists, before heading back over to sit.)

Probst: Gordon, close us out.

(Gordon adjusts his tie, before standing before everyone.)

Gordon: Good evening. Congratulations first and foremost for doing something that fifteen other people failed to do.

(Gordon claps.)

Gordon: Now, with that said, I don't like any of you, I don't think any of you played particularly well, and I don't even talk to any of you, so maybe now's the time to finally change that last part and give you my thoughts. I think an interesting thing that happened this season was just how hypocritical a lot of you were. People would actively detest a certain person, or a certain play style, before suddenly adopting it as their main strategy. We saw it with Ashley early on despising Susan before turning into her, we saw it with Cameron to Tyler, and with you people, we see it again. Margot, you lambasted Alex constantly for being a bitch or for the way she played the game, and yet you spent most of the game antagonising people and being crap to everyone far more than she did. You took any chance people had at respecting you and your game and you proceeded to set it on fire, throw it into a pit of acid, dump cement onto that pit, then dropped a grenade on it for good measure. None of us like you, and yet you sit here acting like you have a chance in hell at winning. For your information, I can't stand Alex, but she is seventeen times the player you were. Case and point, she's walking away from this with friends and you're walking away with one lone vote from a complete idiot.

(Matt looks across at Gordon.)

Gordon: You will not be getting my vote tonight. Moving on, we have Jackson, and hey, what's that? The same old story! You spent the game professing that you were the good old boy who is hard working and cares for his family and would never, ever harm a fly. You sit here now, and why is that? Oh, because you did just that. You took out your closest friends and like Margot to Alex, you became the very thing you were trying to be the antithesis of this whole game. You can't walk around acting like you're [expletive]'ing Gandhi and all peaceful then turn on all the people that got you to where you are. Sorry, but I have zero tolerance for hypocrites. You will not be getting my jury vote tonight.

(Jackson nods.)

Gordon: Noah. There are so many things to criticise about your game. You were weak, you were flimsy, you turned against people for no reason and no gain to yourself. You made stupid decisions, you were always a wet rag getting lumped around from vote to vote, you cried after every conversation you had. You came in here tonight trying to use a sob story for the jury when the guy who literally has a dead little brother he prayed to throughout the game didn't. Hell, the fact you're even there is a testament to how well Lacey played, because she had to be responsible for her own survival and yours. Even with all these flaws, you did one thing right. You were consistent. Unlike so many other people, you didn't give a [expletive] about what other people were doing, you didn't ever act all high and mighty, and you just played the game for yourself. I'm saying this to you once and once only... congratulations.

(Gordon walks over to Noah, extending out a hand, which Noah shakes, before returning to sit down at his place, with everyone turning their attention to Jeff.)

Probst: Alright, that was a lively way to end things. In a moment the jury members will each cast their vote for who they wish to see win the game. Cameron, you're up.

(Cameron gets up and begins to walk towards the voting booth, casting a vote and placing it into the urn with the vote not shown. Alex heads up next, writing Noah's name down, before holding it to the camera.)"adirren"

- Cheeky little boy... in all seriousness, congratulations. You played the game I wanted to but actually made it to the end which I failed at. You deserve this.

(Alex places her vote in the urn, before a few more jurors cast their votes. Next, Matt heads up, casting his vote for Margot and holding it up to the camera.)"adirren"

- You're an awesome person no matter what any of these people say. I hope you get enough to win, because you played a hell of a game!

(Matt places his vote in the urn, before walking back, with Corey then skipping over, excitedly casting a vote for Jackson with the O being a heart, before holding it up.)"adirren"

- You're literally like, an awesome person and really good at the game. Thanks for being there for me and I hope you can win. Sorry Noah.

(Corey places his vote in the urn, before returning to sit down with the others, before the camera focuses back to Jeff.)

Probst: Alright. Congratulations to all of you for a great season of Survivor. As you know, we will be reading the votes at the reunion show. I'll see you there.

Jeff picks up the urn, walking out of tribal council, before the camera cuts to the final three, before fading out.

Vote Reveal
The camera fades back in to the live finale studio, where the contestants are all sat on stage with the audience cheering loudly. As the camera focuses in on them, Jeff walks out from backstage, carrying with him the voting urn, placing it down and standing before them.

Probst: In this urn I have the votes that shall reveal our winner. This is the one time you want to see your name show up, and it takes four to win... first vote...
