Let the Bad Guys Win for Once

This is the series finale of Survivor: Oman - Heroes vs Villains!

Challenges
Immunity Challenge (Day 37): Final Four-Titude The castaways have to untie knots to open a gate and then race up a huge tower. When they get to the top, they will retrieve a key and then fly down a giant water slide. They will then make their way through a multi-level obstacle course where they will use the key to release a bag of puzzle pieces. They will drop the bag on a table and head back up the massive tower to retrieve the next key. Once they have collected all three keys and bags, they will use the pieces inside to solve a lighthouse puzzle. The first person to get it right wins Immunity.

Winner: Tribe/person/s who won the challenge

Mellow Yellow Tribe
(Following the blindside of Jason, the final five castaways return to camp.)

Deanne: Well, it's safe to say that was not what I was expecting.

Vanessa: I can't believe what just happened! I feel so awful. Poor Jason!

"mellowyellow"

- Tonight, I was... I was stunned! I had NO idea that there would be a third vote against Jason. Seeing his look of surprise totally broke my heart. I know I voted for Jason, but I never expected him to go home! I promised Jason I'd take him to at least 5th, and I couldn't go through with that. I hope he understands that I was just as shocked at the result as he was. I honestly feel so horrible for even writing Jason's name down tonight. I wish I didn't have to do it, but Jason wasn't voting with us and Sally was. I just can't believe Horatio somehow figured out the split vote.

Daphne: Okay, so the vote was supposed to be 2-2-2, but it ended up being 3-2-1, and there we four all voted like we planned, so Horatio must have voted for Jason.

Horatio: (holding up his hands in surrender, chuckling) Busted.

Daphne: How did you find out about the split vote? We didn't tell anyone except the four who were involved.

Horatio: That's for me to know and you to find out. (chuckles)

"mellowyellow"

- I knew a split vote was comin' tonight for two main reasons: First, Sally was actin' incredibly weird and quiet. She looked like she'd just killed someone, so I figured she wasn't votin' my way. Second, Vanessa said somethin' along the lines of "we need to be prepared for an idol", so I kinda put two and two together and figured I'd better vote Jason, and it turns out that saved my butt. I think the girls think that someone told me about the split vote, and given my situation in the game right now, I gotta find as many cracks as I can in that group, so I'm gonna keep lettin' them think that.

Sally: Horaito, could I talk to you?

Horatio: Sure, Sally. Come on.

(The two of them walk away. Sally looks guilty.)

"mellowyellow"

- Tonight I joined the girls in doing a split vote, knowing full well Horatio would be going home. It was a very difficult decision for me to make, but I did it for my family. I wanted my family to know that I had done everything I possibly could to win, instead of having no chance to win because I stuck with my allies the whole way. The problem is that Horatio is still here. I think Horatio is taking it well, but I know he must be feeling betrayed to some extent, so I wanted to smooth things over with him.

(With Sally and Horatio gone, Daphne takes the opportunity to talk to the girls.)

Daphne: Who do you think told Horatio about the split vote?

Deanne: My guess is Sally, since she made such a song and dance about not betraying him, but I don't care at this point. The point is we all survived.

Daphne: I can't believe Sally would do that. I mean, if she didn't want to betray Horatio, why not just vote for you? It doesn't make sense.

Deanne: Fr all we know, Horatio could have just figured it out on his own. As far as I'm concerned, this changes nothing, regardless of whether Sally told him or not. You're not going to try and eliminate Sally, are you?

Daphne: No! I'm in the same position as you. I think Horatio is the biggest threat ever, and we'd be stupid to let him past this vote!

Deanne: Great. So the plan is still to eliminate Horatio, okay? We're all in agreement on that?

Vanessa: Absolutely!

Daphne: No argument from me!

Deanne: I don't know about you girls, but I need some sleep after what went down tonight. If I stay awake any longer I think I'm gonna die. (giggles)

(The three girls head back to the shelter. The camera focuses on Deanne.)

"mellowyellow"

- So Horatio didn't go home tonight. While that SUCKS, it's really only a minor inconvenience. As far as I'm concerned, Horatio is still going next Tribal, regardless of whether Sally told him about the split vote or not. In my eyes that makes Sally even more of a goat than she already is, so that's a win for me. (laughs) I'm glad all the girls are on the same page as me when it comes to eliminating Horatio because, if that man manages to sneak his way to Final Tribal Council, the rest of us might as well just fly back to the United States. Nobody would EVER win against Horatio the way things are going now, not even me. He has so many friends on the Jury it's ridiculous and all we've done is piss people off. There's no other choice: Horatio needs to go home.

(The camera then focuses on Sally and Horatio as they move away from the group.)

Sally: Horatio, I know you know that I voted against you tonight.

Horatio: Yeah, I know.

Sally: I'm so sorry. I just want to explain to you why I did it. I'm like you, playing this for my family. I couldn't sit by and do nothing to win by being honourable. I needed to at least give myself a chance at the million dollars. You've got three children, you understand. That kind of money is life-changing.

Horatio: I know, I totally get it. You don't need to explain anythin', okay?

Sally: I'm honestly surprised you're not mad.

Horatio: There's no point in bein' mad. What's that gonna do?

Sally: Do you forgive me?

Horatio: Yeah, of course!

Sally: Well good, because those girls seem to think I told you about the split voite, but I didn't. How did you figure it out?

Horatio: (chuckles) You're a horrible liar.

Sally: Well I guess I am. Can we stay friends?

Horatio: Sure. I kinda need you anyway, in case you hadn't noticed.

Sally: Those girls want you gone.

Horatio: I know. I'm gonna get some sleep, okay? We can talk in the morning.

Sally: Okay.

(Horatio and Sally head back to the shelter. The camera focuses on Horatio.)

"mellowyellow"

- I wasn't lyin' back there. I'm really not angry with Sally at all. I gotta be nice to Sally though, and I gotta keep up my social relationship with her, 'cause I need her badly for this vote. If I could just get Sally on my side, MAYBE I could put myself in a position to survive the next vote without immunity, but I'm not bettin' on that. Lookin' at my situation in this game, I see there's one person out here who might be just as big a threat as I am, and I could probably force her out before me, given she's actually won more immunity necklaces than I have. (chuckles) I'll give you a clue: she's got read hair and her name's Deanne. (laughs) If these girls don't see that Deanne is leadin' them to be her goats, then she's crazy. She's gonna win this if we don't get her out now, and I gotta make them see that. It's my only hope of survivin'.

Mellow Yellow
The camera opens on Day 36 with all five members of the Mellow Yellow Tribe waking up and exiting out of the shelter.

Vanessa: I can't believe we're all here on Day 36! This is a dream come true!

Daphne: Yeah, I never thought I'd make it this far. To think we came here with twenty of the best players and we're the final five!

Deanne: To be fair, I think we had it pretty easy on Sohar. I'd hardly call Yolanda, Audrey, Carlos or Carson the best... (giggles) Well, maybe if we were talking about best trainwreck or loose cannon!

Horatio: I had my fair share of Audrey in Eyre Peninsula. She wasn't pleasant to live with, let me tell ya.

Sally: I honestly couldn't imagine living on the Villains tribe. It sounds so chaotic.

Deanne: Chaotic doesn't even begin to describe it. You got lucky, being placed on Nizwa.

Sally: (laughing) Sounds like I did.

Deanne: You know what I hate about getting down to the last few days of the game? There's nothing to do, only a couple of people to talk to. At least in the early stages of the game you've got more people to socialise with.

Daphne: If you want something to do, why don't you and I go fill up everyone's canteens? I'm really thirsty and I'm sure everyone else is.

Deanne: Alright, I'll do that.

(Deanne and Daphne collect the canteens and head towards the water well. After checking they are gone, Horatio turns to Vanessa and Sally.)

"mellowyellow"

- With Deanne gone, I really had to take the chance to put it in Vanessa and Sally's heads that Deanne was the biggest threat to win. She's smart, she's strong and she's been the biggest strategic player post-merge by far. She's easily gonna end up winnin' if she gets to the end. What Deanne seems to be doin' really well is usin' me as a shield to get her by this vote and to the end, 'cause everyone is so focused on takin' me out. Based on her relationship with Daphne, I'd say she's takin' Daphne to the end, so I wanted to see if I could use that to turn Vanessa against Deanne so I could have some hope of makin' it out of next Tribal without immunity.

Horatio: Guys, while I have you, I wanted to talk to you about somethin'. You guys might think I'm the biggest threat, but I'm not. It's Deanne, and I was wonderin' whether you guys would like to use me to shake up the game.

Vanessa: (a little hesitant) I mean, I'll listen to what you have to say, but honestly, I won't make any promises. There's not a lot I can do, because everyone and their mother wants you out of the game at this point.

Horatio: (persistent) Why can't we do anythin'? We're three to their two. Deanne is a much bigger threat than I am. You think I'm the biggest physical threat? Deanne's won more immunity necklaces than me and Daphne's won three of 'em. You think I'm a big social threat? Deanne's got Daphne in her back pocket and she's got some locks on the Jury, probably just as many as me. And when it comes to strategy, Deanne has been at the front of everythin' you've ever done. She was the one leadin' the alliance; she made all the calls, she kept you together when you and Daphne were fightin', and she's been at the helm of a lot of blindsides. What she's gonna do is use me as a shield and take advantage of her relationship with Daphne. Those two are inseparable. No matter who wins the final challenge out of Daphne or Deanne, they're takin' the other. Even if  Daphne wins, she takes Deanne to a firemakin' tie with you or Sally, and then she crushes you. That way she makes the finals and a guaranteed win. Everythin' she's done has worked, and she's got the perfect path to the end. If you guys take me out now instead of her, all you're doin' is handin' Deanne a million dollars.

(Vanessa is stunned by the ferocity of Horatio's argument. For a moment, she is rendered speechless.)

Vanessa: Wow, I... I'm honestly not sure what to say. You definitely pack a punch in your arguments, that's for sure!

Horatio: (chuckles) I do my best.

(Suddenly, Sally gets up and leaves the shelter.)

Sally: If you guys will excuse me, I might go and chase up those girls and see if they need an extra hand with the canteens.

Horatio: (suspicious) Okay, bye, Sally.

(Sally leaves. The camera focuses on her as she is deep in thought.)

"mellowyellow"

- I was listening to Horatio make his case and it really got me thinking. He said Deanne and Daphne have a tight bond with each other and would take each other to the end, but I also have a tight bond with Daphne, so I think she'd take me to the end as well. If Deanne is taking Daphne to the end, and Daphne is taking me to the end, that means that all I would have to do is side with Deanne and Daphne for the rest of the game and make sure Horatio and Vanessa go home. I would feel awful for betraying Horatio, but I really think going in to the final three with those two girls would give me the best shot at winning the million dollars for my family. I would probably get the votes of all the Heroes and Deanne has angered a lot of people, leading to even more Jury votes for me. I think Deanne would be a threat to the title but she has shown a disregard for the Jury at times, so I think I could beat her. As for Daphne, as sweet a girl as she is, she has flipped a lot, has been paranoid and really the only thing she's done is win immunity challenges, so I think I can beat her too.

Horatio: What's up with that?

Vanessa: Who knows?

Horatio: Somethin' strange is definitely goin' on with her. Anyway, what do you think of my points?

Vanessa: Well... I actually agree with a lot of it. I mean, Deanne is the whole reason Daphne stuck with us at the final eight, and they go way back to Sohar, so I guess they're going to the end together.

Horatio: Exactly, which is why it makes sense to strike now.

Vanessa: She's definitely a huge threat to win but to be honest, buddy, I think you're chasing the wrong girl.

Horatio: What do you mean?

Vanessa: Daphne is playing a much better game than you're giving her credit for. She's grown so much since she came here: she's won three immunity challenges and she's stuck to her guns when the old Daphne would've flipped in a heartbeat, case in point at the final 8. She's not the one pissing anyone off, It's all Deanne and I. And her social game has improved so much. Believe it or not, she was the one that got Sally to flip, and she must have done a darn good job to get her to do it.

Horatio: (mouth open) You're kiddin' me...

Vanessa: (imitating) No, I'm not kiddin'. (giggles) Seriously, Daphne is playing just as good a game as any of us. She got Sally so close to her that she flipped on you and Jason and I imagine they're still close, so Sally might be looking for a final three deal with Deanne and Daphne. Let's face it, the way Sally's playing, anyone's taking a final three deal with her.

Horatio: No kiddin'. I thought Sally was my ticket to stayin' around. Looks like  I gotta break that relationship up. Would you join me in takin' out Daphne, then?

Vanessa: Again, I can't make any promises, but I'm definitely going to leave my options open. I've come way too far to be kicked out at fourth!

Horatio: You and me both. The important thing is we gotta get Sally to vote for Daphne.

Vanessa: Well, if anyone can get her to do it, it's you! You two have a way longer history than her and Daphne. Surely Sally wouldn't throw that away for a relationship made on Day 35!

Horatio: Well I hope not, but looks like we got our work cut out for us. Partners?

Vanessa: I'll definitely consider it! Seal it with a hug?

Horatio: (smiles) Sure.

(The two of them hug. The camera focuses on a worried Horatio.)

"mellowyellow"

- I knew Sally had been actin' really strange, but I never thought her relationship with anyone on that side was that strong, least of all Daphne. Vanessa brought to my attention that Daphne was the one who got Sally to flip, and I'm a little worried that Sally might've flipped permanently, 'cause it would've taken somethin' real strong to get Sally to turn on me. All I know is I gotta break up this relationship between Daphne and Sally, and it looks like Vanessa is just as worried as me about it, so I might've just found my way out of elimination if I lose the next immunity challenge!

(As the hug breaks apart, the camera focuses on Vanessa, who is smiling.)

"mellowyellow"

- I'm definitely not going to be so short-sighted as to shut the door with Ray-Ray! I mean, obviously Horatio is a HUMONGOUS threat that I would NEVER want to go to Final Tribal with, but Daphne and Sally have suddenly gotten really close! Daphne and Deanne are already close, so if Daphne is close with Sally, they really could throw me out of that final three deal and take Sally with them instead! I mean, who wouldn't? I would if I were them. It's ME or SALLY. I'd be much tougher to beat. I don't know if I could save Horatio next Tribal if he doesn't have immunity, but I do know that relationship between Daphne and Sally is very dangerous, and I have come WAY too far and done WAY too much to be kicked out at fourth by a relationship that was only made to get enough votes to send Horatio home! The way I see it, if I have to use Horatio's vote to break that up then, I'm sorry, but that's EXACTLY what I'm going to do!

(Following Vanessa's confessional, the camera picks up on Daphne and Deanne, who have arrived at the water well and are filling up canteens.)

Deanne: Okay Daph, I know you didn't get me out of there just to help you fill up canteens. What's on your mind now?

Daphne: Well, okay, I didn't. I know the plan is to take Horatio out next Tribal, but I just wanted to run over the plan in case...

Deanne: In case Horatio wins immunity?

Daphne: Yeah, exactly. What's the plan?

Deanne: Sally, obviously. I know she's a goat, but I don't want to run the risk of a Jury being so inherently bitter that they award Sally the million dollars just because she hasn't pissed any of them off. I mean, look at them and all we've done: there's Peter, who won't vote for us in a million years; Kyle, who wouldn't vote for a Sohar if you gave him the million dollar cheque for doing so and Kris... who is Kris. (giggles) Point is, there's a lot of bitter people on that Jury and I can't run the risk.

Daphne: I mean, that's a good point and all, but... can I say this without you biting my head off?

Deanne: (intrigued) It depends what you're going to say...

Daphne: Well I was wondering, if Horatio were to win immunity... could we vote for Vanessa?

Deanne: Tell me why. If you want to make this move, fine, but I need an explanation. You need to tell me why it's better to take out Vanessa than Sally. Come on, Daph, I know you're a smart girl. You must have reasons.

Daphne: (nervously) Well, okay. First, obviously, Sally's not going to win. I mean, the Jury doesn't like a lot of us, sure, but they wouldn't vote for someone who did nothing! Kris would vote for one of us if we played the best game; Peter might vote for Sally, but that's literally ti! Vanessa is a much bigger threat than Sally is! She was the first one we kidnapped and it was how Bosco knew about this alliance. That's the whole reason this alliance existed in the first place! She's improved so much since she last played! No one ever suspected her of being the strategic player that she is. She has Itsuki and Bosco's votes in her back pocket. She literally has to walk in there and they're already writing her name down! If she goes to the final three with the two of us, she is going to be the one they award their votes to, because she's letting us take all the heat for it! We can't go to the final three with Vanessa. it would be suicide!

Deanne: (nodding) I can totally understand what you're saying. I think the bitch might just swipe it from under us if we take her. (laughs) She definitely has been a sneaky player too and has been totally underestimated. I never even suspected what she was doing to everyone the whole game.

Daphne: What do you mean?

Deanne: Remember how Vanessa brought Bosco into the alliance and was so confident that he'd stick with us? How he still came back to us even after we tricked him into voting Kris? How she wanted us to keep him so bad when he betrayed us the night of his elimination? It was all because they held a special idol together, one that could be played before the votes were read, but could save the both of them. Vanessa gave the note to Bosco when she was first kidnapped, way back on Day 5. He found one half, she found the other half, and they were inseparable.

Daphne: (stunned) Wh...what? A special idol? it still in play now?

Deanne: No, it needed both halves for it to work or it was useless.

Daphne: So that's why she went ballistic at everyone after he was voted out! That's why she wanted to keep Bosco!

Deanne: Yes, because her special idol was dead. She had the power to change the game and it had been taken away from her. But that's not all. Remember how Kris went into this speech about how Vanessa surely must have had a final three deal with him because he wanted to keep him so bad? Itsuki and I dismissed it as scrambling... but he was right the whole time.

Daphne: You mean they really did have a final three deal?

Deanne: Exactly. Vanessa came clean to me right after she lost it at Sally for buying the advantage. You understand why we couldn't tell you, because you would have just stuck with Kris no matter what we said. But your flip on the night of Bosco's elimination totally saved our necks, Daphne. Vanessa was taking Bosco and Itsuki to the final three and she probably would have used that damn special idol to take me out so she had a clear run to the end. She's been playing us- and everyone- this whole time, and in two Tribal Councils, because of your flip and your decision to stick with us, her two final three locks were gone. But that's why she has two votes locked on the Jury. She's playing one hell of a game.

Daphne: (drops the canteen in shock) Oh my... I never even knew about this... she's so dangerous! We have to get rid of her now! She'll expose all this at Final Tribal!

Deanne: The trouble is we might struggle to get three. If Horatio wins, Vanessa will go right to him and probably look to take one of us out. With Sally close to Horatio, that's a solid three right there. There's no way we can trick her into voting Sally. There's no idols left in play, either. Someone must have gone home with the Nizwa idol. If Horatio had it, he would have played it last Tribal.

Daphne: We can easily get a three. I think I can convince Sally to stick to our side permanently if we offer her this final three deal with the two of us. I got her to flip last night because  I convinced her that her family would want her to win the million dollars, and she had to take Horatio out to do it. Horatio's still in, so this should be easy.

Deanne: Okay, then. You need to talk to her. You definitely want to go through with this Vanessa move? She won't be too happy.

Daphne: Yes! Absolutely. This has to be done if we want to win! (Daphne bends down and picks up the canteen) We need to get all these filled and back before Vanessa gets suspicious.

(They fill up the rest of the canteens.)

Deanne: I'm proud of you, you know. Making a move all by yourself! You've come a long way.

Daphne: (smiling) I learned from the best!

(The camera focuses on Deanne as she smiles while filling her last canteen.)

"mellowyellow"

- I really am proud of my Daffy. (giggles) I taught her well. The student has become the master. She actually came up to me and asked me to vote out Vanessa instead of Sally and explained to me why Vanessa was a much bigger threat, and I came to realise she was absolutely right. It's crazy to think that the same girl who flipped on Day 6 because someone made a powerless threat to vote her out if she didn't, now wants to pull off her very own blindside and has the social relationships to do it. You know, if this final three deal with Sally ends up happening, I think Daphne could give me a very serious run for my money and actually win. She's matured as a player, she's dominated in the challenges, and she's made some great plays in her own right. I don't want anyone to beat me for the million dollars, but if someone HAD to, I'd be glad for it to be Daphne. If she managed to pull off this move and then the Final Tribal Council performance to steal the votes off me, then she damn well would deserve the money. I'd vote for her hands down if I was on the Jury and I think a lot of others would end up doing the same.

(Sally then enters from behind without anyone realising.)

Sally: Do you girls need he-

(Daphne gasps and drops the canteen. Water spills on the ground. She turns around, flustered, then relents seeing who is behind her.)

Daphne: Hi Sally! Sorry about that. I thought you were Vanessa!

Sally: Nope, it's me. Sorry for scaring you so bad.

(Embarrassed, Daphne picks up the canteen and hands it to Deanne, who begins refilling it.)

Daphne: That's okay. I wanted to talk to you about something, actually-

Sally: (interrupting) Sorry, can I talk to you about something first? It actually involves the two of you.

Daphne: Okay, what's up?

Sally: Well, Horatio's back there trying to tell Vanessa to vote Deanne out-

Deanne: (shakes head, rolls her eyes) Can't blame the man for trying.

Sally: -and he mentioned that you two are taking each other to the end, guaranteed.

Deanne: Suppose we are. What are you getting at?

Sally: Well obviously, I want to win the million dollars for my family, and like Daphne said to me last night, Horatio is the biggest threat. I need to get to the final three but I also need some sort of resume for the Jury, so I would vote Horatio out. Then,  I was wondering... if you guys are taking each other to the end, do you have room for one more? It would obviously mean getting rid of Vanessa before me, but I would really appreciate it.

Daphne: (surprised) Yes! Yes, absolutely! I'd love to have you in the final three with me. Actually, that's exactly what I was going to ask!

Sally: (beaming) Wow! Great minds think alike.

Daphne: They sure do! So, obviously, if Horatio loses immunity then he's going to home. But if Horatio wins immunity, then we're going to target Vanessa because she could beat any one of us at Final Tribal and has several locks on the Jury. Are you happy with that?

Sally: (nodding) Definitely. Like I said, anything to win that million dollars.

Daphne: Excellent! Now, since you're here, want to help us carry these canteens back?

Sally: Sure.

(Daphne and Deanne unload some canteens into Sally's arms before the three of them make their way back to camp. The camera focuses on Daphne, who could not be more delighted by what has just unfolded.)

"mellowyellow"

- I am so thrilled with how this game is going for me right now! I told Deanne I wanted to vote for Vanessa if Horatio lost immunity and explained everything to her, and she agreed! Even better, I was going to ask Sally if she would be our third, but SHE came to ME and asked for a final three deal! I can't believe that a social relationship I built could potentially get me into the final three with a really strong case to win! If Horatio loses, Horatio goes, and if Horatio wins, Vanessa goes. I actually have the numbers to pull this off! If the three of us manage to survive this next vote, then I have Deanne as a shield for the final four in case things don't go to plan, and then suddenly I'm in the final three! I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I honestly think I would have a really good chance at beating anyone other than Horatio. I took out Vanessa's Citizens' Idol and final three deal, I was the one who made the move happen at the final six, and I'm the one who built strong enough social relationships to almost guarantee myself final three! Things could not be travelling any better for me.

Immunity Challenge
Jeff: Come on in, guys!

(The final five come in and stand on the mat.)

Jeff: Before we get to today's challenge, Horatio, I have to ask: I've noticed you're the only male left. Is there a trend going on here?

Horatio: (nods) Yup. Big trend.

Jeff: So how scared are you if you don't win immunity today?

Horatio: (chuckles) scared!

(Not used to Horatio swearing, the girls immediately burst out laughing. Even Jeff has to smirk at Horatio's blunt response.)

Vanessa: (playfully slapping him) Don't swear, Ray-Ray!

Jeff: Well then let's get on with it. Daphne, I have to take it back.

Daphne: Please bring it back!

Jeff: (as he takes the necklace back) You want it back, you win it. Immunity is once again up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will untie knots to open a gate and race up a huge tower. When you get to the top you will retrieve a key and go down a giant water slide, where you will then make your way through a multi-level obstacle course to retrieve a bag of puzzle pieces. Bring this bag back to your station and then go back until you retrieve all four bags, which you will then use to  solve a puzzle. First person to solve the puzzle wins immunity and is guaranteed a one in four shot at winning this game.

Sally: I might as well just wait here!

Jeff: We'll draw for spots and then we'll get started.

(There is a timeskip. The castaways are awaiting Jeff's signal.)

Jeff: For immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final four... Survivors ready? GO!

Challenge Summary:
 * Horatio got out to a quick lead, followed closely behind by Deanne and Daphne.
 * Sally was in dead last the entire challenge as she struggled to get through all the obstacles and even up the water slide. Vanessa did not fare much better, but thoroughly enjoyed going down the water slide each time, shouting "Wheeeee!"
 * Horatio was ahead by the time he got his first bag, with Deanne very close behind and Daphne remaining in it.
 * Deanne had a slight lead on the second bag as Horatio got a little stuck in an obstacle, but Horatio had taken back the lead by the third bag. By the time they both got their fourth bags back, Horatio had the lead still. They were neck-and-neck throughout the puzzle, with Horatio still having the slight lead. Daphne joined the fray halfway through and made quick work of the puzzle. It looked like she could potentially steal it from under them, but Horatio solved the puzzle with a few seconds to spare. Deanne had two pieces left to put in and Daphne had three.

Jeff: Horatio wins immunity and guarantees a spot in the final four!

Horatio: (throwing his arms up in the air) YES!

(As Horatio celebrates, Daphne faceplants on the table and softly smacks her head repeatedly in despair. Deanne rolls her eyes.)

Deanne: Dammit, Horatio! Let the bad guys win for once.

Horatio: Not a chance, Deanne. (chuckles)

(There is a timeskip. The castaways are back on the mat.)

Jeff: Horatio, come on over.

(Horatio is applauded as he makes his way over. Jeff puts the necklace on him.)

Jeff: Horatio, you don't have to be scared anymore, because you just booked yourself a one in four shot at winning this game. Congratulations. (he turns to the rest of the group) As for the rest of you, after thirty-seven days out here, someone will be the 15th person voted out and the eighth member of the Jury, falling two days short of their million dollar quest. You have the afternoon to figure out who that's gonna be. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you at Tribal.

(The castaways head back to camp. The camera focuses on Horatio, who is delighted with his win.)

- (wearing the necklace) Yes! I finally won one of these freakin' things! (chuckles) I knew I was goin' home without it so it's safe to say I'm pretty pleased with myself. I'm lookin' forward to seein' what kinda deals the girls approach me with. All I know is Vanessa's told me about some stuff and it seems like the two Sohar girls are the biggest threats. Whatever happens, though, it's time to expose some cracks in that little girls alliance!
