Let's Rock!

This is the season finale of Survivor: Bismarck Sea

Previously on Survivor
Sixteen castaways from across America arrived to compete for their chance to become to ninth ever sole survivor on this series. They were divided up into two tribes by gender. The men were called Rabaul while the women were called Popondetta. Before the game started, they were given more startling news when Survivor Goa: Fans vs. Favorites returners Cordell and Laura joined in the game.

From the start of the game, both tribes had issues. On Popondetta, it became a clear Millenial vs. Gen-X scenario as Clara led an alliance of Annie and Rose against the elderly. Laura's presence made Ashley weary and she had planned to take her out as soon as possible. On Rabaul, an alliance was formed between the green men of Monty, Oliver, and Percy while James and Gordon caused trouble with controversial statements. Despite this, Percy betrayed his alliance and would end up voting out Edward to start the game. Ashley's plan to eliminate Laura failed and she was sent home second.

The two tribes would exchange victories and losses for the remainder of the pre-merge. Percy's complicated plan to have everyone vote different ways came back to bite him and he was sent home third. During a challenge, Elizabeth suffered an injury, which would be called into question as her laziness would ultimately send her packing. Clara had located two idols, but played them at wrong times.

When the tribe swap occurred, controversy arose from the new Rabaul tribe as Clara and Gordon got into words leading to a controversial moment that some say Clara got hit by Gordon, when it was Izzy who did it. Clara's drama and her incorrect strategy would be enough as she would be sent home. At the new Popondetta, James' past with drug usage would lead Caroline to try to send him home. However, despite James' previous antics in the challenge, the tribe felt he was better to have around and Caroline was sent home. Cordell was playing a remarkable game as he would find an idol and would use it at the next Tribal Council that would see Annie be voted out.

The tribes would merge and thanks to inspiration from a cancer survivor, they named their new tribe Waldo. Trailing six to three, the girls aligned with each other and avoided a split vote scenario by letting Gordon join in with them. Gordon's fourth vote would not only send Cordell to the jury, but it would also put him in trouble. During the reward challenge, Izzy decided to twist Gordon's story, which made him angry. However, James tried to make the game complicated by having extra votes for Monty. He also convinced Laura to play an idol she found for herself. Toby, who saw through James, voted for the mastermind, but Izzy was sent home by way of a revote.

Desperate to save herself, Laura decided to work with Rose to come up with a plan to find the idol. By winning the clue at the auction, Laura gave Rose the chance to locate the idol. Unfortunately, Gordon got to their first and would play the idol for Rose on the condition that Rose would send Laura to the jury. Thinking her game was safe, Rose, the Big Brother fan, felt like she could trust Gordon and James. However, her efforts to find another idol were thwarted by Toby. Rose's strong gameplay, which came out of nowhere were enough to send her to the jury as the last remaining female.

Last time, all eyes were on Toby as he was caught between two alliances of Monty and Oliver and Gordon and James. Having received different ideas and suggestions, it would boil down to Toby's gut feeling. With James winning immunity, Toby was forced to choose between Gordon and Monty. In the end, he went with Gordon and James, as he would send Monty to the jury.

Now, only four remain.

Gordon, the hulk. Despite a raging temper and a tendency to say some controversial comments, he made his mark by playing a strong game. Playing an idol and getting people to side with him allowed Gordon to march through to the game. He's tamed many wild bison, but will the Boulder, Colorado bison herder tame the jury to side with him?

James, the red herring. Like Gordon, he also made statements that were deemed controversial. But he also made moves as well. Allowing Toby to be aggressively approached by his rivals, James unintentionally got them out of the game. Still, even with his play, his comments and past drug habits have been called into question. Can the rockstar from Vicksburg, Mississippi save his game in front of the jury?

Oliver, the captain commando. As second in command to his alliance with Monty, Oliver played a tight strong game to this point. However, he's been in a slump with plans going array and his ally out of the game. The only way to survive is to win immunity. Is this going to be too much for the Ruston, Louisiana soldier?

Toby, the deliveryman. He may have been the least productive player in the group. Still, he was responsible for making the biggest move of the game by taking out Monty. However, he has a jury to ask about his moves if he gets to the end. Does the mailman from Marshall, Texas have a prayer to save himself from defeat and a miracle for a million dollars?

It comes down to this. Four players, three Tribal Councils, two hours. One Sole Survivor. Who will be voted out? Who will win Survivor and a million dollars? Find out on the season finale of Survivor: Bismarck Sea.

Final Words
"waldo"

- I made a strong pitch to Toby hoping he would side with me. Unfortunately, he bought Gordon's pitch and I got sent to the jury. I made a strong run and I don't have regrets. I had a blast and made it to the top five. I just hope my bro Oliver can pull it out. He's going to give the other three major fits. You can bet on that.
