This is the Final episode of Survivor: Comoros

Previously On Survivor...

For the past 35 Days, 20 Americans have been fighting it out here in Comoros. They've faced Rough Conditions,

Jack: Bend your knees

Jeff: We're going to need Medical!

Injury,

Trevor: I've got a broken nose/ Two broken fingers/ Busted lip/ chipped tooth

and most of all each other

Vincent: He just made the worst Mistake of his life!

Lara: Don't sell me your Fake friendship Crap.

Chris: Whose Jackass idea was that?!

Now only five remain...

Rochelle... The Mother.

Rochelle; During the first few days of the game she seemed to be in a good position. She had a majority alliance, and a clear group of targets. However all this came undone when her alliance turned on each other at the first Tribal council to vote off their weakest team member, Leaving her on the bottom. Her luck turned around after the Tribe switch, where she was placed on the physically superior New Qarsh Tribe and managed to make it to the merge without seeing Tribal council, and from there she used her inferiority in challenges to her advantage, turning the majority alliances against her biggest threat and rival, and then using that momentum to propel herself to the finals.

“	I'm not playing this game for second place, but it doesn't hurt to pretend to be. I found an Idol, but never needed to use it because everybody wanted me here. Why? because they think that I'm an easy beat. Uh-huh, we'll see how well that turns out. I know everything going on on this beach, every dirty little secret and lie that you all thought wouldn't come back to haunt you. Well it's coming.	”
– Rochelle

Abbie... The Underdog.

Abbie; In the early stages of the game she had it all, a strong tribe, strong friendships, a good position in her tribe. All this continued to the switch where she was able to solidify her power in the failing New Namurr tribe and systematically vote out all of her adversaries, however after the merge her game caught up with her. She lost her majority, a potential ally, her pawn and her closest ally and it seemed like she too was going soon, but a close bond saved her to fight another day. Can she overcome the odds and claim the title for herself?

“	I have never given up, and I never will. I'll fight back every day until either I'm voted out, or I win this game. I've been on the bottom, I've been sent to exile, I can't remember the last time I voted in the majority, without an Idol. Nobody has fought as hard as I have to be here.	”
–Abbie

Trevor... The Free Agent.

Trevor; After suffering a near game ending injury at the start of the game He bounced back, fighting his way into a majority alliance that saw him through to the end. He's been well liked and friendly to everyone, easily blurring the lines of friends and enemies, and after narrowly avoiding the vote at the final six, he's ready to fight his way to the final 2 where he's hoping to win it all.

“	I'm out here to win a million dollars. That's been my goal since the get go, and after almost going home last night, I've got a fire under my ass. I know what I'm fighting for, I have clear motives, and a clear goal. It doesn't matter how far you make it if you don't step up and earn your keep then you won't win. It's time I earn my keep and bust my ass to make it to the end and win this for my daughter.	”
–Trevor

Romeo... The Shepherd.

Romeo; From day one Romeo quickly established himself as the man to beat. Dictating every vote and surrounding himself with bigger targets. Romeo seemed on the straight and narrow, however after the merge his power was challenged. Losing a friend, both his goats and his closest ally. Can he bounce back and overcome the odds to earn victory?

“	I'm down, but I'm not out. You don't count your chickens till they hatch, and you don't count your votes till your snuffed. I still think I'm one of the biggest threats in this game, and these fools disarmed me. You would have been better off voting me out sooner instead of keeping me this long and giving me a chance to bounce back, because I don't know the meaning of the word "quit." It doesn't exist in my dictionary.	”
–Romeo

Jack... The Lone Wolf.

Jack; After almost going home on Day 3, He bounced back hard, eliminating his biggest rival and forming one of the tightest bonds the game had seen, in Jenn. Though at times passive, by using cunning, guile and wit, he's made some of the most surprising moves of the game. Taking power away from every alliance he's faced. Will it be enough to earn him the win?

“	I warned them, I really did. If you let the enemy pawn get to far, it can become the most powerful piece in the game, and did they listen? Well I'm still sitting here. I've never gone to tribal council feeling safe, I've been playing with my back against the wall this whole time... Turns out I preform pretty well under pressure. I like this wall it's a nice wall.	”
– Jack

Five Remain, 39 Days, four Tribal Councils, only One Survivor!

Story

Night 35

The Final Five return to camp and set down their bags and torches

Jack: Well congratulations guys, final five.

Romeo: Yeah. Good job tonight, guys.

They all stand in a circle around the fire not really knowing what to say before Trevor breaks the silences.

Trevor: So can I ask how that happened?

He looks at Romeo.

Romeo: uh... Yeah. Basically I thought you were the safe vote.

Trevor: So us being in an alliance didn't matter.

Romeo doesn't respond.

Trevor: Well with Rochelle being available for the vote, I'm just confused how it fell on me.

Romeo: You seemed like you would flip.

Romeo shrugs as Trevor just shakes his head.

“	Tonight's Tribal Council was a real eye opener for me. My alliance flipped on me, but luckily I was saved by an Idol. I really don't know who to trust anymore, so I'm kind of a free agent. Right now I need to suss out who's willing to work with me and who wants me gone, and if I blow up someone else's game in the process, then I don't really care anymore.	”
–Trevor

Trevor: Did you all know they were voting for me?

Jack: No!

Abbie shakes her head.

Rochelle: I did.

Trevor: Well yeah I figured they told you at Tribal.

Rochelle: They told me at the beach.

Trevor, Jack and Abbie look at Romeo, who shakes his head.

Romeo(Mumbled): I should have voted you out.

Rochelle: Well you didn't. You're stuck with me now.

Trevor: You're stuck with me too.

“	Everything went to hell for me tonight. My closest ally went home, Trevor stayed and oh yeah, Trevor got the majority of the votes, but was saved by my enemies. So he knows it was me that stabbed him in the back. To top it all off, Rochelle Rats me out to the tribe that I was planning on voting him out and it wasn't a snap decision. It's looking like I'm public enemy number one, so what I need to do is back down for now and let the dust settle, before I run damage control. If I act now with Jack, Abbie or Rochelle here, things will only get more heated.	”
–Romeo

Romeo shakes his head and walks to the shelter.

Romeo: I need to sleep.

Rochelle: Me too.

They both climb in the shelter. Rochelle falls asleep quickly, but the other three wait until they hear Romeo's breath slow before they move. Trevor paces back and forth for a while, and opens his mouth to say something, before closing it. Finally he heads toward the beach.

Trevor: I need to go for a walk.

Abbie: Be safe.

Trevor: Ha, yeah. Safe. Right.

Abbie shakes her head, while Jack nervously strokes his beard. Abbie's face twists for a while as she too seems lost in thought before she speaks.

Abbie: You know you and me need to walk too.

She walks out of camp and up the beach in the opposite direction of Trevor, waving to Jack to follow, and though confused, Jack follows. The camera then cuts to them standing under the tree where Wendy had found her Idol.

“	I almost went home tonight and now I'm kind of pissed. Jack gave me his word that he would save me tonight and he went back on it. Yeah it worked out, but I still could have gone home tonight, just because Jack decided to go with his gut.	”
–Abbie

Abbie: I'm pissed right now. Seriously I was terrified tonight.

Jack: What?

Abbie: Don't what me. I almost went home tonight.

Jack: You weren't going home tonight.

Abbie: That's not my point, you gave me your word you would save me, and you didn't. Had any one of them not voted for Trevor I would be at the Jury house now.

Jack: But you're not, you're standing here yelling at me. Meanwhile, Romeo is powerless now.

Abbie: that's not my point.

Jack: What is your point then?

Abbie: This is the second time you've almost completely screwed me over, because of a last second decision. Was I wrong not suspecting you would keep your new best friend over me?

Jack: Second?

Abbie: Lara? How can I trust you when you keep doing stuff like this?

Jack: Oh you mean that time she voted for me, and would have screwed us anyway? The time I would have gone home with both Idols and left you and wendy with eighth and seventh place? That acting on my gut? Hey, remember that time you told me to trust you three completely and Jenn went home? I didn't trust my gut then.

Abbie doesn't say anything.

Jack: Wow... We have a chance to take all the power for ourselves, but in order to do that we need to trust each other and work together. We just took all the power from Romeo, if you and I break apart now, then all that means nothing. We're five and four, just like we would have been if Ethan survived tonight.

Jack finishes talking and walks away.

“	This is insane. Abbie's accusing me of screwing her tonight with the Idol? Sorry, MY Idol. Last I checked, you're still here. So how about instead of freaking out about it, take it for what it is and seize this opportunity for victory!	”
–Jack

Day #36

The episode returns on Jack and Trevor walking to the well in the morning.

Jack: Well that was an eventful night.

Trevor: That's certainly one way of putting it.

Jack: Sorry.

Trevor: Why? I'm still here.

Jack: Yeah, plus you know I got your back, right?

Trevor: Not sure how good I feel hearing that, you know what I mean?

He gives a soft laugh.

Jack: No I get you, but I mean it. I won't write your name down tonight or tomorrow.

Trevor: What about day 38?

Jack: Hopefully one of us get's to write a name down then.

This time it's Jack who laughs.

Trevor: What if it's you who's writing then?

Jack: If I'm honest I don't know. I think it would be a hell of a lot harder for me to beat you than anyone else, but I do like you more than certain other people here.

Trevor: Yeah, I really don't want to justify Rochelle's strategy at all.

Jack: God forbid she gets to the end and somehow sways that jury.

Trevor: We might see the whole jury walk out if it looks like she may win.

Jack laughs again.

“	The idea of working with Jack has crossed my mind before, and now with how things went down I'm starting to lean that way again. He is a good friend and someone I trust, plus when it comes down to it, there's a decent chance I could actually beat him when the time comes. TThe only problem with going with him is that it's a package deal, you don't get Jack without Abbie, and I'm pretty sure Abbie does not want to work with me.	”
–Trevor

Immunity Challenge

The scene cuts to the Immunity challenge site as the final five walk in to take their spots on the mat. In front of them is a massive structure. A four level pentagonal pyramid stands before them. They can see on each side of the pentagon is a colored gate with a set of stairs, but cannot see any more than that. They all stand, staring in awe as Jeff smiles at them.

Jeff: Good morning. You all ready for today's Immunity challenge?

Altogether: Yeah!

Jeff: Before that, Romeo, I'm taking it back.

Romeo walks over to Jeff and turns around to let him remove it.

Romeo: Keep it warm for me Jeff.

He walks back to the mat while Jeff places the necklace on it's perch.

Jeff: Immunity back up for grabs! For today's challenge you will all run through our new Survivor Maze. Each of you will be given a unique key, this key will be used to unlock a mechanism so that you may retrieve a bag of puzzle pieces on each floor. They will also be used to lower the stairs to the next floor. Once your at the top you will then open your bags and assemble your pyramid puzzle. Sound simple enough?

Altogether: Yes!

Jeff: To help you navigate the maze there are a series of navigation posts in front of each of your gates. You're going to need them, because you will be doing this challenge blindfolded.

Every nods, ready to start the challenge.

Jeff: Okay, we'll draw for spots, let's get started.

Gates
Triangle Key	Ring Key	Square Key	Cross Key	3-Pegged Key

Jeff: Okay for Immunity and a spot in the Final Four! Survivor's Ready? Go!

• All five contestants enter the maze from their designated starting spots and begin moving throughout the maze. Immediately Rochelle walks past her first navigation post, missing it completely.
• Jack and Romeo bump into each other on their way to their pieces. Abbie reaches a Set of pieces and tries to insert her key, but needs a 3-pegged key. She tries to find the hole for a while before feeling with her hands and noticing she's at the wrong post. Trevor is the first person to find his bag of puzzle pieces. After getting them he feels around the post next to the mechanism that points him to his stairs.
• Romeo follows Jack to his bag, but realizes after Jack lowers his pieces that his are at a different spot. Abbie begins moving in the wrong direction past her own pieces and toward Jack and Romeo. Rochelle reaches the stairs and tries to unlock hers before she's called off by Jeff and told she has to find her pieces first. She swears and Trevor hears her next to him. He calls out saying he'll help point her in the right direction, so she grabs his hand and he follows her to the stairs before telling her what direction to go in to get back to a sign post.
• Trevor finds his stairs and inserts his key before pulling his lever and raising his stairs. He then climbs to the second level as Jack finds the stairs. Trevor finds a lever at the top and pulls it dropping his stairs again. Romeo and Abbie bump into each other and Romeo tells her she's going the wrong way. They both walk back towards Romeo's pieces. Abbie again misses her pieces and follows Romeo to his, before leaving him and trying back the direction she came. Rochelle Finds Trevor's station, but it's empty and she begins looking for hers again.
• Trevor and Jack begin to navigate the second level of the maze. Both men get a knack for figuring it out and move quickly. Abbie finds her pieces and lowers them, heading toward the stairs. Romeo reaches his stairs and begins climbing to the next level. Rochelle finally finds her first bag.
• Jack and Trevor both find there second bags and begin heading toward the stairs again. Romeo bumps into Jack again, but ignores him. Abbie climbs the stairs to the second level. Rochelle continues to look for a signpost leading her to the stairs.
• Romeo reaches the puzzle pieces he was looking for, but finds out their Rochelle's. He realizes that the puzzle pieces are shuffled on each level and begins looking for a signpost. Trevor ascends to the third Level, with Jack close behind. Abbie begins looking for her pieces, but finds Jack's.
• Romeo finds his pieces and heads back toward the stares. Jack and Trevor move around the third level, with Jack finding his pieces quickly and overtaking Trevor. Abbie finds her second bag. Rochelle finds the stairs on the first floor and climbs to the second level.
• Jack reaches the top of the pyramid where Jeff tells him to remove his blindfold and start working on the puzzle. Trevor finds his final bag. Romeo enters the third level. Abbie reaches the stairs and begins climbing to the third level. Rochelle begins looking for her second bag.
• Trevor reaches the top and removes his blindfold. He opens his bags and begins working on his puzzle. Jack tries to pick up the pace to finish his, but hits a stopping point and has to backtrack, taking apart his puzzle. Romeo finds his third bag of puzzle pieces. Abbie finds Rochelle's third bag, but can't lower it, so she continues on. Rochelle wanders around the second level, looking for a signpost.
• Jack stares at Trevor's puzzle, trying to figure it out from a new perspective. Romeo ascends to the final level and removes his blindfold, but it's to late. Trevor has an "A-ha" moment and begins putting his pieces together quickly. Jack sees the solution and begins working fast too. Before Romeo can open his bags Jeff stops the challenge.

Jeff: Romeo begins working on his puzzle, but it's too late! Trevor wins Individual Immunity!!

Jack puts the last few of his pieces in place before walking over to Trevor to shake his hand.

Jack: Good game, man.

Trevor beams from ear to ear and pulls him into a hug. patting him on the back and laughing as the full relief of safety hits him. Romeo walks over and claps him on the back.

Romeo: I had no chance.

Abbie is shown removing her blindfold as she looks around to see where her pieces are. Rochelle removes hers and leans on the wall, looking up at the top of the pyramid. The camera cuts to show the final five standing on the mat.

Jeff: Well, yet another close Immunity challenge. Trevor come and get it.

The tribe claps for Trevor as he walks over to Jeff with a huge smile on his face. He turns around to face his Tribe as Jeff places the necklace on him and puts a hand on his shoulder.

Jeff: Trevor is safe from the vote tonight at Tribal council, guaranteed spot in the final four. The rest of you have the rest of the afternoon to figure out which one of you will become the eighth member of the Jury. Grab your stuff and head back to camp, I'll see you all later tonight.

“	I could not be more happy that I won the challenge today! I beat a Physicist with a PhD in a puzzle challenge, man. I'm Ecstatic, after being so close to going home just last night to being guaranteed for day 37, and after fighting so hard to be here. I could explode, I'm too happy!	”
– Trevor

Deva Camp

The final five enter the Deva camp and set down their bags. Rochelle and Abbie both congratulate Trevor on his win as he hands the necklace on the camp flag. He thanks them, then without thinking grabs everyone's canteens and walks to the well with Jack. Romeo lays in the shelter while Abbie stokes the fire with Rochelle sitting next to her. The camera then cuts to Jack and Trevor walking to the well.

Jack: Good job today man, I mean it. I can't believe you solved it that fast

Trevor: I can't believe I beat you in a puzzle. Right when I needed it most too. It was like something in my brain just snapped into place and it just came to me.

Jack: Something to tell you're daughter I guess.

Trevor: I hope she's going to be proud.

Jack: What do you mean "hope" of course she'll be proud.

The pair finally reach the well and begin filling the canteens.

Trevor: So you and I, we're set for Tribal Council right?

Jack: I think so, if you and I agree then I'm set.

Trevor: I'm good with it. Keeping him around any longer than we have to is a mistake, we can't give him the chance to make it another night.

Jack: He's probably going to come for me tonight.

Trevor: Oh yeah, no doubt.

Jack: I feel good though. You me and Abbie for Final three? It just makes the most sense.

Trevor: And you're sure she'll vote with us?

Jack: I think if she doesn't then int's checkmate for all three of us.

“	It's lucky for me that the only way I survive tonight is also the only way Trevor or Abbie survive the rest of the game. I mean, that's a crappy way to frame it, but it's true. Sometimes necessity begs for certain people to band together to survive, and it's a good thing that those two banding together with me are the two that I like the most and want to go to the end with.	”
–Jack

The camera then cuts to Romeo laying in the shelter looking at the two women in front of him. Abbie continues to stoke the fire as Rochelle prepares water and rice for dinner. He's silent for a moment before he speaks.

“	I may very well be sunk tonight. Trevor won Immunity, so my only chance of flipping Abbie to potentially vote him out is gone. That doesn't mean that I'm out of options though, just the easy ones. Jack has gone out of his way to save Trevor these past few days, so I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, there's enough paranoia in her that I can turn her against him.	”
–Romeo

Romeo: It's interesting how things worked out today, isn't it?

Abbie continues to work on the fire, but Rochelle turns to face him.

Romeo: I mean, the Coffee Maker, with no college education beating a physicist in a puzzle?

Abbie: What are you trying to say?

Romeo: I was the last person to get to the top, and see how the game ended. Jack was taking his puzzle apart and watching Trevor win.

Rochelle: You're saying he threw it.

Romeo: Who's to say, all I can do is tell you what I saw. It makes sense though.

Abbie: How?

Romeo: You see those two, they're best friends. Jack went out of his way last night to save Trevor, knowing full well you could have gone home. Now, conveniently, Trevor who I was going to vote out is safe tonight while you or him can go home.

Abbie: I still don't get why you're saying he threw it.

Romeo: Would you vote him out if he didn't?

Abbie: I wasn't going to vote him out at all.

Romeo: There's you're answer. He knows he's safe tonight. He probably feels safe tomorrow too, and the day after that, when you're stuck the last person standing against too men who will never take you to the end over each other.

Abbie: Jack's been my ally since way before the merge, you really think he'd betray me after so long?

Romeo: You may have been his ally, but you haven't been his friend.

Romeo stands and walks toward the beach.

Romeo: Just think about it, but I think it's foolish to go against them when you have the chance to break them up.

“	Now that I've planted the seed in Abbie's mind all I can do is wait and hope it takes root. This is my last chance to survive, and I'm too close to give up so I have no problem manipulating anyone to get to the next stage. I have nothing left to lose	”
–Romeo

He leaves as the sun begins to set, Jack and Trevor return and hand back the canteens to the women.

Trevor: Where'd he go?

Rochelle: He just left for a walk.

Trevor: We're about to have to go. I'll look for him.

Trevor leaves to find Romeo, leaving behind Jack with Abbie and Rochelle. Rochelle stands with a spoonful of rice and begins to gather her things.

“	There really is a lot to unpack with what Romeo said. I really don't want to come this far and find out I've been played for a fool. What he says makes sense in a way, but coming from Romeo, who's desperate to stay, I can't be too sure if I can trust it. Either I stay loyal, go to final three and risk getting left for third place and being made a fool of. Or I can go with Romeo, Blindside Jack and risk being made a fool of by Romeo and Rochelle. I've got two big targets in front of me, my heart says shoot here, but my brain says shoot there, and I just don't know which to listen to.	”
–Abbie

Jack: What's up?

Abbie: Nothing, just thinking.

Jack: You still good for Romeo tonight?

She doesn't respond.

Jack: What's up, what are you thinking about?

Abbie: Nothing!

Jack raises his eyebrows as she snaps at him.

Rochelle: Romeo was telling us you threw the challenge today.

Abbie: Chel, please.

Jacks eyebrows raise again. Rochelle shrugs and walks down to the beach, carrying her and Romeo's bags.

Jack: You think I threw it?

Abbie: I don't know Jack, I didn't see it.

Jack: So why is there a problem.

Abbie: Romeo was telling us that you were taking apart your puzzle and watching as Trevor solved his.

Jack: Yeah, but I wasn't throwing the challenge. I got stuck and had to backtrack, then he just solved it out of nowhere.

Abbie: You're the puzzle guy though, Jack. It's kind of hard to believe that you'd lose when you were so far ahead.

Jack: In Trevor's own words, it was like something snapped in his brain and he just solved it. He wasn't even thinking about it, he just did it. I got stuck and had to backtrack, so when he solved it I had no chance.

Abbie: You swear you didn't throw it?

He slaps a hand to his chest.

Jack: Hand to whatever god you'd have me pray to, I did not throw the challenge today.

She sighs.

Abbie: Okay.

She stands and grabs her bag and torch.

Jack: Abbie, I swear to you, I would never throw a challenge.

Abbie: Okay.

“	I can't believe this. I just got done locking in a final three with Trevor, only to come back and find out, that Romeo is campaigning for my ouster. Which okay isn't surprising, but what is surprising is how much Abbie's bought into it. Now I'm at the whim of somebody who just last night was accusing me of betrayal for not giving her an Idol. Now I have to hope that this mixed bag of nuts actually pulls through and votes out the most dangerous person to keep around. Which is Romeo. Not me, Romeo. If he stays, there isn't hope for anybody else to win.	”
–Jack

Jack's confessional plays as he, Trevor and Romeo collect their belongings and Grab their torches. There is one last shot of Trevor putting on his Immunity necklace before the final five depart for Tribal Council.

Tribal Council

The final five members of the Deva Tribes walk into Tribal Council and place their torches before sitting down. Only one row of seats remain with Romeo taking the first, Rochelle sits next to him, then jack, Trevor and Abbie. Once they all take their seats Jeff speaks.

Jeff: We will now bring in the members of our Jury. Imahn, Leroy, Jenn, Lara, Wendy, Chris and Ethan Voted out at the last Tribal Council.

The jurors all file in and take their seats. Ethan surprises everyone by wearing a muscle tank and Hawaiian patterned shorts instead of his usual suits. Once they take their seats, Jeff sits down and prepares to begin Tribal Council.

Jury

. Jeff: Okay, let's talk about last Tribal Council. Based on everyone's expressions last time, I don't think anybody was expecting that result. Trevor, was there any indication that you were going to get votes?

Trevor: Uhh No, not at all Jeff. I was really shocked when Jack played his Idol on me, and to see it negate most of the votes, it was shocking.

Jeff: Jack, Trevor brought up the Idol, it looked like you were struggling with how to play it.

Jack: Yeah, it was a tough call. I heard a lot of whispers last night, so I was really trying to decipher it all. I was thinking about how the votes would go, who the safe vote would be, are they trying to confuse or misdirect me and when that first vote came in for Abbie, my heart sank, I thought I had screwed up big time. Thankfully that wasn't the case and I left Tribal council without half the tribe mad at me.

Romeo smiles, but Abbie just shakes her head.

Jeff: Abbie, Jack brings up a good point. Had he been wrong you could very easily be sitting over there instead of Ethan.

The camera switches to Ethan smiling.

Abbie: Yeah, it definitely freaked me out to see my name, knowing that I wasn't safe. Especially after Jack told me he would give it to me. I was really scared he had cut me loose.

Jeff: Jack, you said people weren't upset, yet here's Abbie saying she thought you cut her loose.

Jack: I never intended on cutting her loose. I was going to play the idol for her all the way to the point where I stood to play it. We talked about it afterword, and I still think it was the right decision. Had I played it on her and Trevor went home, we'd be sitting here down two against three and one of us would be going home tonight. Now I think we can feel a little safer.

Trevor nods while Abbie looks at the two men. Romeo still smiles while Rochelle watches the other four.

Jeff: Romeo, "we all feel a little safe." What do you make of that?

Romeo: Uhh... That I'm going home Jeff.

Jeff: So you think they have the votes?

Romeo: Let's just say after last night, I'm the last one left in my alliance.

Jeff: Trevor, is that true?

Trevor: I don't like the way he said it, it makes me sound disloyal, but yeah after last night I don't feel very safe keeping Romeo tonight.

Jeff: Rochelle, pretty cut and dry answer.

Rochelle: It is, and I don't blame those two for it, but here's the thing Jeff. Romeo said he was the last person in his alliance, but the question was if he thought they had the votes.

Abbie places a hand over her mouth and looks at the ground.

Jeff: Jack, any idea what she means?

Romeo: Let me answer that Jeff.

Everybody turns to Romeo.

Romeo: Jeff, tonight's my last night unless I pull a miracle out of my ass. So when we got back to camp I saw Jack and Trevor going off to the well alone like they usually do, but Abbie stayed behind at camp. Pretty strange right?

Jeff: Sure.

Romeo: I mean, these two have been close for a while, and Jack did save him with the Idol last night, so maybe they're just good friends, but if they were really a threesome, why wouldn't Abbie be with them?

Abbie: I stayed behind to tend the fire, that's all.

Romeo: Is it really though?

Everybody's heads turn to Abbie, but immediately snap back to Romeo.

Romeo: Now, I'm not saying this is 100% fact, but Jack is known to make some risky moves to save himself and his allies. Giving up Immunity, Making fake Idols, redirecting votes... He's also known as the Puzzle Guy, Pre merge and afterward, he always does well or won the challenges involving puzzles. So is it really too far out their to suggest that maybe, just maybe Doctor Jack and his PhD, threw the Challenge today so that Coffee bar Trevor could win Immunity while everyone else was blindfolded?

The camera sweeps across the Jury. Wendy and Jenn both look stunned, Chris smirks. Ethan, Lara and Leroy all lean in closer enthralled in what's going on, while Imahn looks somewhat confused.

Jack: That's ridiculous.

Romeo: Is it? How many times have you lied to her before? She told me the Idol in Marissa's bag was real. So did you know it was a fake back then?

Abbie: Not when I told you that no.

Romeo: There's one.

Rochelle, leans back and looks at Abbie who meets her gaze.

Rochelle (mouthed): Jack?

Abbie sits back up, and bites her fingernail.

Romeo: Abbie, I haven't lied to you once this game. Join me tonight, and if Jack goes home, I promise I'll never write your name down unless it's to win this game.

Abbie's legs begin to shake as everybody looks between, Romeo and Jack. Trevor, looks at her nervously.

Jack: Abbie, this is the reason why he's so dangerous. He's trying to get inside your head-

Romeo: I'm not trying to get inside her head, I'm just stating facts. I saw you dismantling your puzzle right before Trevor won.

Jack: Abbie, if he survives another night, there's nothing any of us can do to beat him.

Romeo: Aside from win Immunity, there's that. If I don't win Immunity you can vote me out any time.

Jack: He's playing to win.

Romeo leans across Jack.

Romeo: So is he, you should make a move so you can win too.

Silence sweeps the area as everyone stares at Abbie.

Jeff: Alright, with that I think it's time to vote. Trevor you have the Immunity Necklace, it's yours to do with as you please.

Trevor: You know, it's my first necklace, so I think I'm going to keep it Jeff.

Jeff: You cannot vote for Trevor, everyone else is fair game. Trevor, you're up.

Trevor walks up to the voting booth, his vote is not shown. He is followed by Jack. Once he's in the booth, Abbie leans over to Rochelle.

Abbie (Subtitled): You'll vote with me?

A look of fear shoots across Trevor's face as Rochelle nods.

Jack: Romeo, don't let this you down, you're a Titan and deserve to win, but that's also why I need to vote you out.

He returns from the booth and Abbie stands to go vote, As she leans Trevor whispers to Jack. In the Both Abbie's confessional is heard, but her vote is not shown.

Abbie: This is my best shot at winning this game, sorry.

She returns and is followed by Rochelle, then Romeo who's vote for Jack is shown.

Romeo: Nothing personal man, one of us is walking out of here without his torch tonight and I'm hoping it's you and not me.

He returns to his seat and looks at Jeff, waiting for the final decision.

Jeff: I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff enters the booth. As he tallies the votes the camera fades between Romeo, Jack, Rochelle, Abbie and Trevor. Once he's done counting he returns to his podium and places the urn on top. He removes the lid and takes out the first vote as he speaks.

Jeff: Once the votes have been read the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

... First vote... Romeo.

Sixteenth Person voted out and the eighth member of our Jury... Romeo.

Abbie brings her hands back to her mouth and Jack and Trevor both sigh in relief. Rochelle smirks and gives a look to the Jury as Romeo grabs his bag. MUSIC

Romeo: Good job guys.

He grabs his torch and walks over to Jeff.

Romeo: Joke on you though I get to go eat Ice cream, while you're all stuck with rice.

He laughs as he places his torch in front of Jeff.

Jeff: Romeo, the Tribe has spoken.

He places the snuffer over Romeo's torch, killing the flame.

Jeff: Time for you to go.

Romeo: Can I get a hug? I'm a little heart broken, here.

The final four smile as Jeff laughs and Accepts Romeo's hug. Romeo turns one last time to face the final four.

Romeo: It was a lot of fun guys, I had a blast. I couldn't think of a better group to take me out. Keep your heads up and finish strong!

They all smile again.

Trevor (waving): Bye Romeo!

Romeo: Later guys!

He waves one last time before sprinting off down the path.

Jeff: Well with only three more days left, it only makes sense to fight that hard to stay in the game, but you're going to need to fight harder to make it all the way to the end and win this game. Grab your torches, head back to camp, I'll see you all at your next Immunity challenge.

The Final Four all throw their bags over their shoulders and grab their torches before leaving the Tribal Council area.

Tribal Council 16: (tribe)
Voted Against	Voter
Person (3 votes)	Jack, Rochelle, Trevor
Person (3 votes)	Abbie, Romeo
VOTED OFF: Romeo

Voting Confessionals

“	I don't make the same mistake twice, Nothing Personal, I just don't want to go home next.	”
– Trevor (Voting for Romeo)

“	If this works out the way I think it will, this should cause some fireworks tonight. Good game, but not good enough to make it to the end. See you later.	”
– Rochelle (Voting for Romeo)

Final Words

“	I just want to say, that anybody out there who ever had that thought of, "there's no way I could do this, it's just not who I am," Remember that you can do anything as long as you're willing to put in the effort. Try hard, don't give up and do what you want to do, without being concerned for how others think of you. I'm proud of myself, the things I've done and how far I've come, this has been the most amazing journey I've ever been on. I didn't make it to the end, but god damn it, did I try.	”
– Romeo Cabello

Day 37

Night 36

The Final Four all walk into camp and set down their bags and torches.

“	I am freaking out right now. I voted Jack out tonight and he stayed. With only four of us left it's only a matter of time before everything is pieced together. I don't know what I was thinking. I really thought Rochelle had my back and he was going home... Oh my god what do I do?	”
– Abbie

Trevor: Well that went as well as I could have hoped.

Jack: Yeah thanks for sticking with us Abbie.

Abbie doesn't say anything, but starts to pace around the fire.

Rochelle: She didn't stick with you. If she did, there would have been four votes Romeo.

Trevor: What?

Rochelle points to Abbie.

Rochelle: She voted you out, not me.

Jack: Is that true?

Abbie turns away from him and begins biting her nails.

Rochelle: As you were voting she asked me if I would vote you out with her.

“	It never mattered to me who went home between Jack or Romeo, I was always going to vote opposite Abbie. If Romeo went home and I voted for Jack, Then Romeo may have taken it easy on me, but since I voted out Romeo and Abbie voted out Jack I've driven a fairly big wedge into what could have been a strong final three. Abbie is freaking out because she voted out Jack and he stayed. All the guys want are answers, but she's too nervous to give them.	”
– Rochelle

Trevor: I heard that at Tribal, but I thought she changed her vote.

Rochelle: Nope it was me.

Jack: Abbie?

Abbie: I'm sorry, I thought it would have been the best move for me.

Jack: So you did vote me out?

She nods.

Jack: Alright... Alright, It's fine.

“	I'm in deep right now. Rochelle wasted no time in outing me as the second vote for Jack. I have no idea where I stand now. Any chance I had of making it to the end with an alliance is now gone. I need to find some way of overcoming this scenario right now so I can make it to the end. I need a miracle right now, please, just one small miracle. I'm so close to the end, don't let one stupid decision take me out now.	”
–Abbie

Deva Morning

The scene returns on a shot of the shelter as Abbie climbs out and walks over to Jack who is stoking the fire. Rochelle had gone done to the beach to clean up, while Trevor had gone alone to get Treemail.

Abbie: Jack?

Jack: What's up?

Abbie: You alright?

Jack: I'm fine.

Abbie: I'm sorry.

Jack: Why? You voted how you thought would help you win, that's how the game is played.

He shrugs and continues to work on the fire without looking at her.

Abbie: I wouldn't have voted for you if I thought there was a better option.

Jack: What would the better option have been?

She doesn't respond.

Jack: Look, if you want to vote me out, that's fine. That's why we're here, you don't have to apologize. Don't worry about it.

He stands and walks away down the beach toward Trevor.

“	I don't really care whether or not Abbie voted for me, or if she apologizes. I've done everything I can to come this far with the people I trust, but if they don't trust me in return that's my fault. That's the game! She says she's sorry, so maybe there's a chance she won't vote for me again tonight and I can survive another day, but you never really know for sure. All it comes down to is that I'm going to have to win Immunity today if I want to guarantee my own safety tonight.	”
–Jack

The scene catches up with Trevor and Jack walking down the beach back toward camp, both men are holding two different colored types of dishware.

Jack: So what's you're head saying right now?

Trevor: Well you can never be too sure until we know who wins Immunity. Honestly I was still on board with voting Rochelle out if she didn't win, but now I'm not so sure.

Jack: With Abbie's vote last night, right?

Trevor: Right. Look I know you two had your thing, and that you trust her, but is she really as good to us as you say she is?

Jack doesn't say anything, but instead waits for Trevor to continue.

Trevor: Okay I know she brought you on board with her against the guys and all that before we voted out Lara, but here's the thing. She never had a reason to align against the guys.

“	I'm not going to be playing mister nice guy, everyone's friend, look at me I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I see my game for what it is and I need to step it up. Right now I see a wedge between these two and I have no problem swinging away until they break apart. I need to step up my strategic game and really get out of the shadows of everyone next to me. If that means putting more stress on them, then it sucks but that's what I have to do. I was out of the loop on a lot of things in my old alliance, but if I can somehow spin this into a good thing, emphasize what I do know and push aside what I don't I may just be able to squeeze this thing out and pull off a win.	”
–Trevor

Trevor: Until Lara told us about it, there was no men's alliance. Hell the last Tribal Council before the merge I voted with Abbie to get out Lara. It wasn't until final nine that I was even aware she was working against us. As far as I knew it was a Qarsh Pagonging.

Jack: Right.

Trevor: Now don't get me wrong, it's good that it didn't end up going that way, but what I'm saying is, is it really safe to put our trust in someone who makes decisions like that without checking facts? She thought she was on the outs at Namurr when she wasn't and put herself in the bottom. Then she thought that she was a dead man walking and totally cut herself off from everyone. Yeah she spent a lot of time at camp with Chris, or on exile, but she never approached me to see where my head was. She never approached Ethan. The only time she was willing to work with anyone else was when Romeo approached her last night, and she flipped just like that.

“	Trevor makes a strong argument. It's true that Abbie never really told me what was going on at the old Namurr camp, other than after Brianna went home, the guys were an alliance and she needed me to work against them. I'll have to wait and see what happens at Immunity today, because my hearts telling me to trust her and keep her around, because she has been good to me up until now and I would love nothing more than to go to final three with her and Trevor. That said, god forbid if Rochelle wins Immunity, the safest bet may be to just cut her loose.	”
–Jack

Immunity Challenge

The scene transitions to show the final four walking into the challenge site. In front of the they see four posts planted in the ground, with a ball bearing at the top. Next to the post is a table, and laying on top of it are a series of assorted plates, cups, saucers and bowls, all in different sizes. Next to all of them is a long arm with a flat wooden disk on the end. The survivors all take a spot on the mat and look to Jeff with anticipation.

Jeff: Alright, you guys ready to get to today's Immunity Challenge?

Altogether: Yeah!

Jeff: First thing, Trevor I'm taking it back.

Trevor: Sure thing.

Trevor lightly jogs over to Jeff, removing the necklace on his own and handing it to him, before running back to the mat.

Jeff: No hesitation from Trevor. You sure you want this?

Trevor: I'll get it back, no worries.

Trevor smiles as he looks to the others next to him, Jeff returns the smile and places the necklace back on it's perch.

Jeff: Immunity back up for grabs. For today's challenge each of you will balance a series of dishes on the end of a long wooden arm. On my word, you will add a new dish every five minutes. This will continue until either three of you fall out or no more dishes remain. Should the latter occur we will go until only one person remains. Last person standing, wins Immunity. Sound easy enough?

Altogether: Yes!

Jeff: We'll draw for spots, let's get started.

Tables
Abbie	Jack	Rochelle	Trevor

The camera fades to show the final four in their positions, each of them balancing their disks on the ball bearing.

Jeff: Alright, for Immunity and a spot in the final three! We'll begin with a small bowl, Survivors ready? You may begin.

• The game begins as each competitor places a small bowl on their disk. The competition continues without much trouble aside from the occasional gust of wind, for the next twenty minutes. At the 25 minute mark they are told to grab a saucer. Abbie reaches for the saucer, but stumbles a little, almost causing her stack to fall. She's able to recover however and continues moving in the challenge.
• 55 minutes; another gust of wind sweeps through the area causing everyone's stacks to sway. Abbie and Trevor make a quick recovery. Jack struggles, but manages to hold on. Rochelle doesn't try to save herself and lets her stack fall to the ground, shattering all over the place.
• 1 Hour 35 minutes; Jack tries to place his next item on the top of his stack, but knocks one of the plates as he lifts it causing his stack to fall and shatter.
• 2 hours; all the dishes for Abbie and Trevor have been stacked and they now begin to wait each other out.
• 2 hours 20 minutes; Trevor asks Abbie who she's voting for tonight. When she doesn't respond, he says he's willing to vote for Rochelle if she is. Abbie continues to ignore him. Rochelle gives Trevor a worried look, but he's too focused on his tower to pay attention to her.
• 2 hours 30 minutes; Abbie asks Trevor if he really wants to vote out Rochelle. He responds by asking if she'd agree to that. When she doesn't respond, Trevor says he's guessing she'll either vote for Jack or himself. Abbie says she won't vote out Jack, which only makes Trevor ask if she'll vote him out instead. She again doesn't respond, making Jack and Rochelle both give her uncomfortable looks
• 2 hours 45 minutes; Another gust of wind sweeps through the Challenge site, causing both contestants to brace themselves. Abbie manages to correct herself and hold on. Trevor over corrects, sending his stack tumbling down on the other side of his post.

Jeff: Trevor tries to save his stack, but he can't hold on. Abbie wins Individual Immunity!

Abbie raises a triumphant fist as she slowly lets her tower of dishes fall to the ground. Trevor walks over to her and extends a hand which she politely shakes. Rochelle and Jack both clap for her.

Trevor: Good job.

Abbie: Thanks.

The scene transitions to show the final four standing on the mat.

Jeff: Another good challenge, Abbie come get you Immunity Necklace.

The other three all clap for Abbie as she jogs over to Jeff with a spring in her step.

Abbie: Oh my god, thank you!

Jeff: You feel like you needed this huh?

Abbie: Absolutely. It feels so good to have. After all this time, to finally know that I'm going to Tribal Council and I' 100% safe! I feel amazing.

Rochelle gives Jack and Trevor a look as Abbie talks. Jack seems confused, while Trevor bites his lip, worried about what this means for his game. Jeff places the Necklace around Abbie who gives an excited giggle as the other three applaud her once more.

Jeff: Abbie, safe from the vote tonight, guaranteed a spot in the final three. Meaning, Jack, Trevor Rochelle, after 37 Days one of your journey's is about to come to an end. Grab your bags head back to camp. You have the afternoon before I see you all at Tribal Council where one of you will be voted out and become the ninth member of the Jury.

The final four all grab their things and head out back to camp with Trevor in the lead. Abbie's confessional plays over shots of them all walking back to camp.

“	Yes! I so needed this! After last night I had no clue where exactly I stood in this tribe, but now I know one thing, I'm in the Final 3! Last night I voted out Jack, and he managed to stay, but I didn't really want to vote him out anyway, I just thought it was the best move for me. Today at the challenge Trevor was grilling me real hard, I think it really showed his true colors of how he feels toward me. I'm safe now though so I have a lot to think about tonight. Someone standing next to me is going to be sent to the Jury tonight, so I really need to play my cards right if I want to win.	”
–Abbie

Pre-Tribal

The remaining members of the Deva Tribe all return to camp and set down their bags. Jack sits down next to the fire while Trevor begins to stoke the embers back to life. Rochelle tosses her bag down and crawls into the shelter, while Abbie hangs her necklace from a nearby branch.

Trevor: Good job today Abbie, I mean it.

Abbie: Thanks.

Jack: It was close, you really earned it today.

Abbie: I really wanted this one too.

“	Moving forward in this game, I'm going to have to make the right move tonight. I think having come so far with Jack as my right hand man, it would probably be best if I didn't vote him out tonight. If I did then I think it would only show the Jury that I was using him, and I'm already going into this without the best relationships on the Jury. The last thing I want is to give them more ammo to come after me with. I still don't think moving forward with Trevor is a good idea though.	”
–Abbie

Abbie: Hey guys, while we're all here can I say something?

Trevor: Go for it.

Jack: Yeah you don't have to ask, we're all listening.

Abbie: Okay...

She takes a deep breath before looking at Jack.

Abbie: I just wanted to say, I'm sorry about last night. Jack you've been loyal to me for a very long time, I shouldn't have doubted you. I admit that I overreacted a bit.

Jack: That's fine, I know I probably didn't handle the situation that well either. I'm just glad we can put all that behind us.

Abbie: Good... That said...

Everybody's eyes snap to Abbie. Rochelle sits up to look at her better.

Abbie: No matter what I say, or think, in my heart I can't feel safe keeping you both in the game with me. I feel like you both have a bond that I just can't beat. So for that reason, Trevor, tonight I have to vote you out.

Trevor lets out a deep breath.

Trevor: Wow...

Abbie: I'm sorry, I know you're a great guy, which is why I wanted to tell you to your face without blindsiding you. I just can't feel safe going into day 38 with you still here. I'm sorry Trevor.

Trevor: It's fine I... I appreciate your honesty.

Rochelle: Okay!

Rochelle jumps up out of the shelter and everybody turns to face her.

Rochelle: Since we're all being honest here, I want to get my say in. Jack, I saved you last night, but it wasn't out of any kindness or good will, it was purely strategy. You and I don't mix, We haven't mixed since day one. I think the only reason Abbie is saying what she is is because she's too nice to cut your throat where you stand. You get more dangerous every day you stay here. I will not go another day letting you slither on by like the snake that you are. Which is why tonight my vote is for you.

Silence sweeps the camp as the other three stare at each other, then Rochelle, then back to each other.

Rochelle: Do ya'll have anything to say?

There is another small period of silence before Trevor looks to Jack and holds out a hand.

Trevor: Looks like we're making fire tonight.

Jack: I guess so.

The two men shake hands.

Abbie: Okay then.

She awkwardly pats her legs before walking off down the beach by herself, leaving Jack, Trevor and Rochelle by themselves.

“	I don't know what's going through Abbie's head right now, why she would make a speech like that. Surely she'd have to know that it would only end up with Trevor and I making fire, but hey maybe that was her plan all along. Why that is, I have no clue. I don't see this ending well for her, but hey maybe I'm wrong. Clearly what's best for me isn't best for Abbie and now I'm fighting for my life again tonight.	”
–Jack

Jack: I'm going to go for a walk.

Trevor: I'll be here, practicing.

Jack gives a half hearted chuckle as he grabs a piece of flint and walks down the beach after Abbie. Trevor finds the flint and begins pulling apart coconut husks to begin practicing. The scene transitions to a few hours later showing Jack and Abbie sitting on the beach together beneath the tree where she and Wendy had found their Idol. Jack is seen chipping away at the flint over some Coconut husks, while Abbie watches him.

Abbie: You okay?

Jack: Yeah I'm fine.

Abbie: You're not fine.

Jack: I just think this whole thing could have been handled better.

Abbie: I just didn't want to blindside him. He was the only guy from Namurr I felt I could trust.

Jack: But you don't trust him anymore?

Abbie: I just don't think he'd keep me over you tomorrow.

Jack: I get that, but if I lose tonight then aren't you in a really bad spot?

Abbie: I don't think so. I think Rochelle would keep me over him if she won, but I don't think that will happen. You can beat him.

Jack: If I go home tonight, then that could be the end for both of us.

Abbie: So just don't go home.

“	This was never my ideal situation. There are certainly other people I would have liked to sit at the end with, but now's not the time to look at the past. There are certainly a lot of risks in my move tonight, and it may not pay off in the end, but at least this way I can still say I was loyal at to the end. Yeah I wavered a bit, but I still think I have my integrity.	”
–Abbie

Abbie smiles as Jack begins chipping away at his flint again. The camera shifts to show Trevor working on his husks. Rochelle lays in the shelter behind him.

Rochelle: You think you can beat him?

Trevor: I'm going to try.

Rochelle: You got this. You're fighting for a lot more than he is.

Trevor: I know.

Rochelle: He didn't deserve to make it this far. Think about it, you've got your daughter, Abbie has her family, I have my kids. What is he fighting for? Pride? He'll be fine no matter where he finishes, so no harm in taking him out now.

Trevor: He's got a fiance, he wants to start a family.

Rochelle: He'll be fine.

Trevor doesn't say anything and continues working on his fire.

“	You know, it's real rich sitting here listening to Rochelle talk about who deserves to go and who deserves to stay. She's so confident because she's convinced that she's going all the way to the end, but when you put all the pieces together she hasn't done crap to get here. Like, seriously what has she done? She sits in the shelter and drinks water that we bring to her all day. It really pisses me off that I'm in danger of going home, and my cheer squad can be so cocky when she's done nothing, but force conflict.	”
–Trevor

Abbie walks into camp alone and begins gathering her stuff. Trevor tosses his flint aside and stands. He lifts his canteen and finishes what's inside. Jack walks into camp and past everybody to head to the well.

Trevor: I need to clear my head.

Trevor grabs both the women's canteens and follows Jack to the well.

“	I haven't taken any risks since I got here. I've played it safe and kept my hand close to my chest. This could end up being the riskiest move of the game. If it goes wrong then I end up on the Jury, but if it goes right, then I end up sitting pretty in the final three. I just hope he bites.	”
–Trevor

At the well Trevor begins to fill the canteens as Jack drinks.

Trevor: Okay, I'm about to throw out something crazy, hear me out okay.

Jack: I'm already not sure how I feel.

Trevor: Look, I know she's aiming to get me out, and I get her reasoning. I don't hold that against her, she's proven why she deserves to be here.

Jack: Right.

Trevor: You deserve to be here too, you've played a hard game and pulled some crazy stuff to get here.

Jack: Okay.

Trevor: I don't really want to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I deserve to be here. I gave a lot to this game, I may not be the best, but damn did I try.

Jack: You're not tooting your own horn, you deserve to be here.

Trevor: So then would you agree that of the four of us, only one of us doesn't deserve to be here?

Jack: Rochelle...

Trevor: Man, I was practicing fire back at camp. She's sitting behind me, going on about how I can beat you, I need to beat you. You're the only one who doesn't deserve to be here.

Jack: Why am I the one that doesn't deserve to be here?

Trevor: Because you don't have a family to play for.

Jack: What the hell...

Trevor: Right? Since when does that mean you don't deserve it?

Jack: That pisses me off.

Trevor: Me too!

Jack: So what do you want to do?

Trevor: Well, we're pretty sure we know who they're voting for tonight right?

Jack: Yeah.

Trevor: Well, if you and I vote for Rochelle, then suddenly we have the majority 2-1-1 and we survive another day!

Jack looks intrigued, but doesn't say anything.

Trevor: Worst case scenario, one of them is lying and we end up making fire against Rochelle anyway, but what are the chances we lose to her.

Jack: Best case scenario, she goes home and we both live to fight another day.

Trevor: What do you think? It's a hail Mary, but I think we can pull it off.

Jack: I think it's as good a plan as any.

“	The risk I'm taking right now is huge. I'm basically gambling both mine and Jack's votes on my word alone. Which is a huge thing to ask somebody so late in the game. This could very easily backfire on me, and I'm walking out the door tonight, if it does, then I hope I catch it quick enough and save myself, but I really don't think it will. It's a risk I'm willing to take, and we'll see how it all falls once it's all played out.	”
–Trevor

The two men refill both of their own canteens and head back to camp. Jack's confessional plays over the scene of the final four gathering their belongings and heading to tribal.

“	Trevor brings up an interesting point, this vote could very easily be swayed by the two of us voting together instead of against each other tonight. What this leave me with is four possible outcomes. 1) I trust Trevor when I shouldn't, I end up going home looking the fool and Trevor looks great to the Jury. 2) I don't trust Trevor when I shouldn't, nothing really changes, we go to fire, may the best man win. 3) I don't trust Trevor when I should, Trevor goes home and I risk looking like a total bastard in front of everybody. 4) I trust Trevor when I should, Rochelle goes home, I survive, Trevor survives, but I basically betray Abbie's trust in front of the Jury and make her look like a fool AGAIN. These are all really heavy options with each with their own pros and cons, and I need to really weigh them out before making my final decision.	”
– Jack

The camera fades to black as they head out before returning at Tribal Council.

Tribal Council

AMBIANCE

The final four all enter Tribal Council in single file with Trevor leading the way. Each of them place their torches in a slot before taking their seats. Rochelle sits on one end, closest to the entrance. Next to her is Trevor, then Abbie and Jack who sits closest to the exit. Only Jack and Trevor have brought their bags and they place them at their feet. Once they've settled down, Jeff speaks.

Jeff: We will now bring in the members of our Jury. Imahn, Leroy, Jenn, Lara, Wendy, Chris, Ethan... and Romeo, voted out at the last Tribal council.

Jury

The Jurors all walks in. As Romeo passes by he smiles and waves at the final four. Abbie returns his wave, while Jack and Trevor smile back at him. Abie gives him a wink and he seems confused for a second before nodding and taking his seat. Rochelle ignores the Jurors, all her focus is on Jeff. Once all members of the Jury find their seats, Jeff takes his and begins Tribal.

Jeff: Alright, let's start with the end of last night's Tribal Council. Rochelle, last night was all about whether or not the three would stick together and vote out Romeo. The votes come in, three votes Romeo, two votes Jack. Any concern at all that this is the end? That "hey the three are sticking together, it's obvious it's me?"

Rochelle: No Jeff, I'm not. There is now three.

Jeff: You seem pretty sure of this.

Rochelle: I am. I was the thrid vote for Romeo, Abbie voted for Jack.

Wendy seems surprised, as Abbie adjusts herself. Romeo seems somewhat unimpressed and confused.

Jeff: Abbie, is that true?

Abbie: Yes. At the time I wasn't sure whether or not I could truly trust him, so I decided to vote with Romeo. I thought we had Rochelle, but she lied to us and voted Romeo instead.

Lara scoffs at Abbie's words.

Jeff: So Trevor, Rochelle says "there is no three," even though she voted with the three, does that raise any concerns for you since you've been a pretty hot subject these past few tribals?

Trevor: Yeah it absolutely does. i mean, I don't feel like I've made very strong connections with these three, and the people who have I made connections with tried to vote me out. Plus after the challenge today I'm a hundred percent certain I'm getting one or two votes tonight.

Jeff: What do you mean, "after the challenge?" Did something happen back at camp?

Everybody looks at Abbie who avoids eye contact before Jack speaks.

Jack: Jeff, today after the Immunity challenge, there was a sort of moment. I won't say incident, since it wasn't like a big fight or anything like that, it was just sort of weird.

Abbie: It really wasn't anything.

Jeff: What happened?

Trevor: Well, after we got back to camp, before we even really put our stuff down, Abbie turned to me in front of everyone and said she was voting me out.

Abbie: That's all that happened, it wasn't a moment. Please don't make it something bigger than it needs to be.

Jack: I said it wasn't a big deal.

Abbie: Well the way you said it made it sound worse.

Jeff: Abbie is there any concern for you, with how this game is played, that maybe telling him straight to his face like that may not end in your favor?

Abbie: Jeff, all I said was what I honestly felt.

Jeff: And that is?

Abbie: I told him that I just didn't feel safe going into the final three with him and Jack. I don't think either of them would keep me for the final two over the other, so I was voting for him since I had a closer relationship with Jack. I was nothing more than that.

Jeff: So Jack, Abbie says she wants to vote out Trevor, is there any part of you that's thinking, cool, Trevor got it that's who's going home.

Jack: Well of course a little bit, I mean it's a pretty simple idea, but nothing is ever simple in this game. I know that I'm getting one or two votes tonight too.

Jeff: You know this too.

Rochelle: I told him, right after Abbie told Trevor.

Jeff: So from what I'm hearing it sounds like we're going to fire tonight, is that right?

Jack: Seems like it Jeff.

Jeff: Trevor, this is interesting. You all know where Abbie and Rochelle are voting tonight, has there been any talk about teaming up with jack and voting out Rochelle to save yourselves from fire?

Trevor: I have thought of it, but there haven't been any talks. As nice as it would be, we're at the final four and paranoia is at an all time high. Even if we did talk about it, we can't really trust each other to stay true to that. Like you said Jeff, we could save ourselves from fire by voting Rochelle, but if we don't both do it, then it would just backfire and send us home without fire. So voting with either Abbie or Rochelle really is our safest bet. It sucks Jeff, it really does. I've worked hard to get here, I deserve to be here, and knowing that my game ends while someone who may not deserve it as much gets a free ride to the end sucks.

Jack shifts uncomfortable as Trevor speaks about the votes. Rochelle rolls her eyes.

Jeff: Who are you referring to?

Trevor: Rochelle. I feel like she's been floating this whole time, not really doing anything to win this game. She's playing for second place so everyone is eager to take her to the final two.

The Jury all seem to nod in agreement.

Jeff: Rochelle, Trevor think you don't deserve to be here.

Rochelle: I heard him, but here the thing Jeff, we all got our own reasons as to why we deserve to win or lose and why we don't. In the end the people who deserve to be here are the ones who stay.

Jeff: Trevor, a good argument. Rochelle says that you all have reasons why you deserve to win or lose.

Trevor: I'll agree with that.

Jeff: alright, well let's continue with this then. Trevor, give me a reason why Jack doesn't deserve to win.

The jury all look shocked, even Trevor looks taken aback.

Trevor: Jack doesn't deserve to win because... I don't think Jack has been playing for the jury. He's very strategic and knows how to play this game, but he has no grace to his actions, so it makes a lot of people dislike or mistrust him.

Jeff: Alright, Jack, why doesn't Rochelle deserve to win.

Jack: I'll have to echo Trevor. She's not playing to win, She has no interest in socializing, she sucks at challenges and her strategy has been to lay in the shelter and annoy everybody.

Jeff: Rochelle, why doesn't Abbie deserve to win.

She takes a moment to think.

Rochelle: Abbie doesn't deserve to win because she's a little... immature, a little selfish. She tried to vote out someone who was her ally because he didn't give her an idol. My kids pulled that stunt when they were little and I'd whoop their ass for being so stupid.

Abbie looks stunned as do a lot of the jury.

Jeff: Abbie, Why doesn't Trevor deserve to win.

She thinks for a moment, but looks like she's struggling to come up with an answer.

Abbie: I don't think there is a reason he doesn't deserve to win, Jeff.

Everybody looks shocked at her answer, Trevor seems a little annoyed.

Jack: Come on, we all answered honestly.

Abbie doesn't respond. After another minute of thinking she answers again.

Abbie: Trevor doesn't deserve to win, because it means that I can't win, and I'm not playing for second place.

Trevor nods in approval of that answer, but jack and Rochelle both shake their heads.

Jeff: Okay, with that it's time to vote. Abbie, you're up first.

Abbie stands and walks into the voting booth, her vote for Trevor is shown.

Abbie: Trevor, you're way more of a threat than you give yourself credit for, you should be proud of the game you played. As for me, I have to prove why I deserve to win more than any of you. Good game.

She returns to her seat and Jack walks into the booth, his vote is not shown. He is followed by Rochelle, whose vote for Jack and confessional are shown.

Rochelle: It's taken 37 long days, You know why I'm voting for you and I really hope you don't make it to 38.

Trevor is the last to enter the booth, his vote is not shown, but his confessional is heard.

Trevor: It's game over for one of us tonight, and I really hope it's you and not me.

After he returns to his seat Jeff leaves to tally the votes. The camera fades between each of the final four before panning across the Jury as Jeff returns.

Jeff: Once the votes have been read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leve the tribal council area immediately...

Rochelle...

Trevor: Woo!

Trevor jumps to his feet in excitement, as Jack lets out a gasp of relief. Abbie looks to either side of her in confusion

Jeff: That's two votes and tonight that's enough. Rochelle, you need to bring me you're torch.

Rochelle stands.

Rochelle: Wow... Good job boys.

She grabs her torch and begins to move to Jeff and Abbie looks up to her.

Rochelle: Good luck beating them.

She places her torch in the slot and faces Jeff.

Jeff: Rochelle, the tribe has spoken.

Abbie shakes her head. The camera cuts to the Jury as Romeo leans to Ethan.

Romeo (subtitled): She has no idea what just happened.

Ethan nods before looking up at Jeff. He places the snuffer over Rochelle's torch and she walks away without saying a word before he can say "it's time for you to go." Once she's out of sight, Jeff turns to face the final three.

Jeff: Well Rochelle said it best herself. The ones who deserve to be here are the ones who stay, tonight that's the three of you, but only one of you three deserves to win it all. I wonder who it will be. Grab your torches head back to camp, I'll see you all tomorrow for your final immunity challenge. Goodnight.

The final three all stand and grab their torches with Abbie in the lead, she shakes her head as she walks out and the camera fades out.

Voting Confessionals

“	You lasted way longer than I first thought would ever be possible. You accomplished a lot, and you actually had me worried you could beat me, so I need you to go if I want to have a shot of making it to Day 39.	”
–Jack

Final Words

“	Wow! I am shocked. I never thought that this late in the game I would be sitting here on day 37. I thought I had it made. A solid second place with a good shot at first. I never would have taken either of those guy to the end if I had a choice, so I guess they made the right choice, I just hope it works out for them. Those three all better work really hard to get my vote.	”
–Rochelle

Day 38

Night 37

.

The final three all enter the Deva Campsite in sullen silence. The air is heavy and nobody seems ready to break the silence. The trio all set down their bags and stand around the fire staring at each other.

“	I... I really don't know anymore. I don't know how to feel, I don't know how to act. Tonight a lot of trash was talked. Rochelle went home. I didn't vote for her and she went home, that wasn't supposed to happen. After 37 Days I should have finally known for sure who was going home, but I didn't. Jack Blindsided me again and now I'm stuck with two people who I don't want to sit with in a final two! My safety net walked out of Tribal Council tonight. So here I am freshly trashed, and sitting between two guys who I don't know if I can beat. Hell I don't even know if I could trust them to take me to a final two! This sucks. Day 38 is supposed to be exciting, right?	”
–Abbie

Jack: Do you want to know what happened?

Abbie: Sure, let's start there.

Jack: Look, we all got trashed tonight, but Rochelle gave you the hardest punch-

Abbie: Oh so you did it to save me again?!

Jack: No, I did it because I realized that she actually had a good shot of winning this game.

Abbie: Really? That's what you're going with?

Jack: Yes, that's what I'm going with. She trashed you're game to the Jury. I mean, did you see their reaction to what she said? If she can get a reaction like that off of you, she could do it to anybody. Honestly, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I was about to blindside you until that moment.

He waves to Trevor.

Trevor: Hey, like I said, it's the final four I get it.

“	Tonight's Tribal council brought up a lot of dirt, about how we each see each other. In the end Rochelle over played her hand and went home, which I wasn't really expecting to happen, but hey, I'm not complaining. The more lucky accidents, the more my stock with the jury rises. And, I'm going to sound like a total bastard for saying it, but I may be in a better position than I had even hoped for. Jack betrayed Abbie again, right after she got trashed, she feels more betrayed than ever so now, there may be a chance that if she wins the final immunity she would take me. If I can play up this animosity she's feeling, I could be sitting on a cool million tomorrow. Who knows? We can only wait and see how everybody reacts to what they heard tonight.	”
–Trevor

Abbie: Look, I really just don't want to hear anything right now. I'm going to bed okay?

Jack: Alright. Good night.

Deva Morning

.

The scene returns on Day 38 as Jack sits on the edge of the beach alone. Behind him you can see Trevor starting up the fire again. Jack takes a bite out of a piece of coconut he has and chews on it until only husk remains before throwing it to the fish.

“	Last nights Tribal Council drummed up a whole mess of aligations and trouble for all of us, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Depending on how you spin it, what as said last night can be very useful if you're willing to learn from it. Accept your mistakes and grow from it.	”
–Jack

He gets to his feet and waves at Trevor to indicate he's going to Treemail.

“	Trevor pointed out that I've been really aggressive, but in my haste to become a great player I've screwed the jury so far against me I may have no chance of winning, even if I make it to Day 39. I didn't want to play this game this way. I started this game with an extremely loyal alliance that I was willing to go to the ends of the earth with, and yeah I can just sit back, keep playing the game that I've been playing and hope that comes back into play and I win, but with how bad I've messed up the odds are against me. I could try to play more for the jury now, but then I'm in that catch 22 of being seen as playing too obviously and getting voted out if I don't win, or being accused of being fake if I don't. (He shakes his head and sighs.) Coming this far into the game, this is kind of heart breaking. Like do I really have no chance?	”
–Jack

The camera cuts to Trevor as he tends the fire. Abbie wakes up and walks over to him, scratching her head.

Abbie: Where'd Jack go?

Trevor: He just went to go get Treemail.

Abbie: Oh.

She walks over and puts on her shirt and Immunity necklace. As she ties her shirt into a knot she walks over and grabs her canteen, drinking the last of it. She finishes drinking and caps the bottle.

Abbie: So can I go refill this, or will you guys keep Treemail from me too?

Trevor looks stunned.

Trevor: No you can go, we'll wait for you.

Abbie: Okay.

“	I'm still kind of pissed off, that Jack wouldn't include me in what happened last night. I mean I don't really trust that it was a last minute decision, since he didn't even consider telling me, or cluing me in at all. It just feels like someone you've worked with for so long deserves that much, but I can't really say I'm surprised anymore. You got to play with the hand you got, so I'm just going to pick myself up and try to win Immunity no matter what it is. That's all I can do, otherwise I'm going home.	”
–Abbie

Trevor watches Abbie leave and shakes his head once she's out of sight.

“	I don't really get Abbie's game plan here. Last night was hard for everybody, but it really seems tobe a pattern that once she feels like she's lost she isolates herself from the situation. Jack's already said that he think's Abbie would be easier to beat than me, so if he wins I'm going home, and I thought that maybe that would be the case if she won too, but maybe that's wrong? Looking at everybody here it's obvious Rochelle wanted to take Abbie to the end too. I'm starting to think there may be something to that. But, let's not start counting chickens yet, I still have to see who wins before I make a plan today, until then I just have to focus on the challenge.	”
–Trevor

Jack returns to camp and looks around.

Trevor: She went to go get water.

Jack: Alright.

Abbie returns and Jack opens the final Immunity Clue.

Jack: Congratulations on making it to day 38, it's been a long hard fought battle, during this time you have left behind many friends and foes along the way. Today you will honor these fallen comrades. Gather your belongings and follow the path to your final Immunity challenge. Along the way you will encounter the torches of the fallen. Collect their masks and burn them at the alter on the volcano as an offering to the land, then head to Exile Island where you will compete for a final time.

The trio gather their bags and torches and begin their trek up the mountain.

Due to exceeding Node Count please proceed to here to see the Rites of Passage

Immunity Challenge

The Final three members of Deva all walk onto the Exile Island beach and drop their bags on the mat before facing Jeff. Instead of wearing the necklace, Abbie is holding it in her hands.

Jeff: Alright, you guys ready to get to you final Individual Immunity Challenge?

Altogether: Yeah!

Jeff: Abbie, you already know what's coming. I'm taking it back.

Abbie walks to meet Jeff halfway and hands him the necklace. She pivots on her heel and walks back to the mat. Jeff places the necklace on it's perch and faces the final three.

Jeff: For the last time, Immunity is back up for grabs. Today's Challenge is pretty simple, a Survivor classic. For today's challenge all three of you will stand on a tall, narrow perch. Every fifteen minutes you will pull a tab that will cause a piece of you're perch to break off and fall away. We will repeat this until all that's left is a perch barely half as big as your feet. You may use your hands to help balance, however you may not sit on the perch. You also con not at any point touch the water. If your butt touches the perch, or you hit the water you are out of the challenge. The last person left standing, wins Immunity. Guaranteed a spot at the final two, where you will be facing the Jury to plead your case as to why you should be the one to win the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar prize that goes with it. Do I even have to ask if that's worth playing for?

Trevor: You do not.

Jeff: We'll draw for spots. head out.

The scene transitions to show the final three sitting in the water next to their perches. On the left next to the red perch is Trevor, Jack sits on the right next to the blue perch, with Abbie between them by the Yellow perch.

Jeff: Alright this challenge begins once all three of you have placed a foot on the perch. Survivor's Ready? Go!

The three all climb their towers in unison and take their positions. their ladders are removed and the challenge is on.

CHALLENGE:

The first fifteen minute pass without trouble from any of the competitors until Jeff says it's time to remove their first section of the perch.

Jeff: Alright on my call, pull your first tab. 3... 2... 1... pull.

With three loud clicks the first section falls away, leaving them with only two thirds of their original foot space. Trevor stumbles a bit as he pulls. His large feet, still slippery from the water, but he regains his composure and is able to correct himself. Another 15 minutes pass as dark clouds begin to move in, the winds begin to pick up. All three contestants begin to shake and Jeff waits for them to get settled before telling them to pull once more.

Jeff: 3...2...1... pull.

Another loud click and the second section falls away from the other side. Trevor, not expecting that section to fall stumbles as his foot goes with it.

Trevor: Whoa!

He grabs his own foot and pulls himself back up quickly.

Jeff: Trevor almost falls out, but saves himself!

Jack: Good save, Trevor.

Abbie looks up at both of them suddenly. as Trevor readjusts his feet.

Jeff: That just proves how quickly this challenge could be over. one small lapse in judgment and you're out.

Ten minutes pass before Jeff speaks again.

Jeff: We are now forty minutes in, about to drop another section of the perch. It's at this point other players may start to consider bargaining.

The three of them exchange glances, but don't say a word. The next five minutes pass and the clouds begin to come together, covering the sun. It soon begins to lightly rain.

Jeff: The clouds are moving in, this eliminates the challenge of the sun, but in exchange you're now going to have to deal with rain and wind. Get ready to release you're next section of the perch... 3... 2... 1... Pull.

Another click, this time the back piece of the perch drops. The wind picks up again and the two men begin to stumble. Abbie sticks out her arms to balance herself, but doesn't move much. Both men are able to correct themselves.

Jeff: Jack, and Trevor both struggling. Abbie looking pretty steady.

Jack: You good, Trevor?

Trevor: Yeah. You?

Jack: I'm good.

Abbie looks at them both again. Five minutes pass before she decides to speak up.

Abbie: So are you hoping Trevor wins Jack?

Jack looks up at her.

Jack: What?

Abbie: I'm just saying it seems like anytime he starts to move, you get worried.

Jack: I'm just trying to be a good sport and give some encouragement.

Abbie: I don't deserve that too?

Jack: You're not struggling.

Abbie: Okay...

Trevor: You're solid Abbie!

Abbie: Thanks Trevor.

Jeff: So Abbie, catch me up on what's going on here, do you think Jack's rooting for Trevor?

Abbie: I'm just pointing out what he's saying Jeff.

Jack: Abbie, you're a rock right now.

She doesn't say anything and the next ten minutes pass. Jeff calls out to the trio one last time.

Jeff: Alright, get ready to remove your last piece of perch. 3... 2... 1... Pull.

The final piece falls away, this time all three competitors stay steady. The wind picks up blowing Jack's hair into his face and he spits.

Jeff: Your perches used to be one foot by one foot squares, now less than four inches remain.

After the wind dies down, Jack takes the opportunity to remove his buff and tie his hair back with it.

Jeff: All three of you are looking very solid. Jack even having some time for fashion. It's nothing but endurance from here on out.

The competition continues in a montage as the wind picks up, kicking up waves and blasting the contestants with painful sprays of water. a half hour passes and the wind is so intense that all three are trying to regain their composure. With one last gust, the wind kicks up more water and sprays the three of them before dying down. Trevor is the first person to regain his balance. Abbie and Jack both struggle, but due to the water soaking his perch, Jack slips and falls into the water.

Jeff: Jack cannot find his balance. Jack is the first one out of this challenge. Come take a spot next to me.

Abbie regains her balance as Jack swims back to the beach and takes a seat on the mat next to Jeff. Abbie looks over to him, but he doesn't meet her gaze. The next half hour passes with more of the same. The wind picking up randomly and shaking Trevor and Abbie, but neither once is willing to back down. finally after two hours. Abbie speaks up again.

Abbie: You still hanging in there, Trevor?

Trevor: I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

Abbie nods.

Trevor: This is the only way to guarantee my safety tonight, so if you want to drop, I'd be really grateful.

Abbie: Not happening, I feel the same way.

Trevor: You sure you won't make it to tomorrow.

Jack and Abbie both look up at Trevor.

Abbie: If I you win, you would take me?

Trevor: I don't know, I'm undecided right now, but if you drop out now I would definitely lean more towards taking you.

Abbie: I thought you and Jack were a duo. You think it's smart to openly betray him like this?

Trevor: We both agreed that was only until final three, we're all free agent here.

A couple more minutes pass in silence before Abbie looks to Jack.

Abbie: Jack who would you have taken if you won.

Jack: That doesn't matter anymore, I'm sitting here.

Abbie: Very political of you. Look it matters to me, I'm still competing.

Trevor: I know who he was going to vote for tonight.

They both look at Trevor.

Trevor: He was going to vote me out tonight and take you to the end.

Abbie: Really?

Trevor: He thinks that I'm going to be harder to beat in the end.

Abbie: He told you this?

Trevor: Yup.

Abbie: Wow... okay then. Jack?

Jack: Trevor is the biggest threat between the three of us, yes. I would have voted him out.

Jeff: So Abbie, what's going through you're head right now?

Abbie: Well a lot of stuff, Jeff. It's a little bittersweet to hear that he would have taken me to the end.

Jeff: Why bittersweet?

Abbie: Well, because his reasoning was more Trevor being a threat than any previous loyalty to me I guess?

Trevor: Abbie, you drop out right now, I'll vote him out no questions asked.

Abbie: I need to think...

As the conversation ends the montage resumes. during the next twenty minutes the rain becomes heavier with the wind picking up on occasion, though not as strong as before. Trevor and Abbie both begin to lose their balance, but it's Trevor who full on falls off. Catching himself he desperately tries to re-climb his perch. Abbie begin to sway, her chest almost hitting her knee as she bends over with one leg in the air desperately trying not to fall. She regains her balance as Trevor pulls himself back up.

.

As he climbs Trevor's left foot enters the water.

Jeff: Trevor, you entered the water.

Trevor: Damn it.

Jeff: Trevor is out of the challenge.

Abbie: I won?!

Jeff: Abbie wins Final Individual Immunity!

Abbie shrieks as Jeff throws his hands into the air. She jumps off her perch and begins to swim back. Trevor lowers himself into the water and punches the surface in frustration.

Trevor: Damn it... So close.

The scene fades and returns on the final three standing on their mat. Abbie practically bouncing with glee.

Jeff: Well, a good last Challenge. Abbie come and get it.

She hops over to him, light on her feet and turns around to let him place the necklace on her. he puts a hand on her shoulder and faces the other two.

Jeff: With that, Abbie safe tonight at Tribal Council. Guaranteed a spot in the final two where she will be able to pleed her case as to why she deserve to win the Title of Sole Survivor and the Million dollar prize. Meaning jack, Trevor. After 38 long, hard fought days for one of you it all ends just one day short. Grab your bags, head back to camp. I will see you three in a couple hours at Tribal Council.

The trio head out with Abbie leading the way back to camp as the camera fades out to commercial.

Pre-Tribal

The final three return to camp with Abbie at the head of the band, a huge smile crosses her face as she tosses down her bag and does a little twirl in excitement.

“	Oh my god I just pulled off the greatest upset of this game! I was sure I was going home tonight, No doubt, but now, now only am I safe but I get the sole decision of who is going home on day 38! I'm in the final two! just one more day and I get to show why I deserve this win.	”
–Abbie

Abbie: Sorry, I know that I look like such a sore winner, but I'm just so happy!

Jack: Don't worry about it, you earned it.

Trevor: Yeah, I'd be doing the same thing, it's no big deal.

Jack chokes down all of the water in his canteen before holding out his hand.

Jack: Anybody need water?

Trevor: I'm good.

Abbie: Yeah, thanks though..

Jack: Alright, I'm going to go take a bathroom break and fill up my canteen... Not in that order, but you get what I mean. I'll be back later.

Abbie: Okay, come back soon. I'd like to talk to you.

Trevor looks at Abbie as she says that, but doesn't say anything himself. Jack waves to both of them as he heads down toward the well.

“	It may be suicidal at this point to not talk to Abbie as soon as possible, but there may not be anybody who knows these two players as well as I do at this point and I've pushed Abbie so far these past few days that any stoking is more likely to just burn the person doing said stoking. I know what I need to do to stay, and that's play into the label I've been given. If I can sell that then I may be able to predict their moves. If I'm right, by leaving those two alone, Trevor will make a really solid argument for my ouster that I can use to against him tonight. Unfortunately not only does this mean not pleading my case effectively before Tribal and giving the strategic edge to Trevor, but also continuing the anti social monster game a little longer, but that's just a risk I need to take. Hopefully this reverse psychology I'm working on right now works, and Abbie thinks that compared to Trevor, I'm so confident and lacking the self awareness necessary to win, that there's no way she could lose to me. If it works then great, if not then I had a good run.	”
–Jack

Trevor: Okay let's talk.

Abbie walks over to the shelter and sits down before facing Trevor.

Trevor: Look, I've got nothing left to lose, so I'm going to be brutally honest here. I don't think you realize how deep of a hole you're in right now.

Abbie: Oh?

Trevor: Yeah. Look, Jack's dragged you all the way here, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Abbie: That's not true.

Trevor: It is true.

Abbie: No it's not, Jack wouldn't have even made the merge if it wasn't for me, much less final 3.

Trevor: He was always secure in final 3 with the guys because of me and Chris.

Abbie: But he chose to keep his bond with me.

Trevor: No he chose someone who the jury was working against.

Abbie: You really think that's what happened?

Trevor: It doesn't matter if it's what happened, all that matter is that's what the jury sees.

“	I'm playing a very dangerous game here, it's day 38 and I'm trashing the only person able to save me to her face. At the same time I'm really selling how great of a player Jack is. It's no big deal to me if it doesn't work since I was probably going home anyway, but my hope is to make Abbie doubt herself so much that she picks me over someone she feels like she has no chance with. The big problem is tha to really sell it, I'm going to have to really undersell myself and oversell Jack, even in front of the jury.	”
–Trevor

Abbie: I've played just as strong a game as he has.

Trevor: Maybe that's true.

Abbie: There is no maybe.

Trevor: Okay, it's definitely not true, because as far as the jury sees it, you've been riding him this whole time.

She tries to speak again, but Trevor raises a hand to continue.

Trevor: You both lost a huge alliance, you both lost your biggest allies, He joined another alliance as a double agent, he dismantled both your alliance and mine, he played all the idols, he made the blindsides, hell even if they failed he still tried some amazing overthrows that actually almost worked! Everyone on the jury was still in the game when he almost took out Ethan and gave Qarsh the advantage.

Abbie: The was my plan.

Trevor: That you let him take all the credit for.

Abbie: Is trash talking me really your plan to get me to take you to the end?

Trevor: Yes. Because compared to him what have I done? seriously.

Abbie: You were allied with everyone.

Trevor: So what? This is the endgame of Survivor. It doesnt matter who my allies were, if anything that makes it even worse for me because I didn't have to struggle for anything.

Abbie: It does matter!

Trevor: No it doesn't!

Abbie: Then what does matter?

Trevor: The narrative! You're not thinking about this from the jury's point of view, and that's what's going to cost you this game. People see you sitting next to Jack and they see both of you overcoming the odds together, but they also see one leader and one follower. Only one of those people is getting votes. Compare that to you and me sitting together they see coattail rider, coattail rider, but only one of those two overcame the odds necessary to win this game. That's what you need to win this game.

There's a moment of silence before Trevor grabs his bag.

Trevor: I don't know whether you're taking him out of fear of me or loyalty to him, but I'm begging you don't let that be what costs you nine hundred thousand dollars.

“	The only thing consistent about Abbie's game is her paranoia, so I'm really betting hard on her consistent inconsistency to get me to the end. I've said all I can say, now I just hope that there's enough time for my little seed of doubt to bloom into the beautiful flower that lets me make it to the end. I just hope it's not too late for me to win this.	”
–Trevor

He walks down the beach until he's ankle deep in the water and toward treemail.

“	Trevor's argument, as much as his tone annoys me, is valid, but it's still super dangerous to take him to the end. I really don't believe that he thinks his allies on the jury don't matter, but I do get his point about seeing things from the jury's perspective. I've thought that Jack's actions were unethical enough to be easy to use to slander him in the final two, but maybe I was wrong, Maybe Jack's been playing me this whole time. I need to talk to him and figure out where his head is before I make a decision.	”
–Abbie

Abbie begins walking toward the Well to meet up with Jack, meeting him halfway as he comes back to camp.

Abbie: You should know he's making some good arguments.

Jack: Yeah, I figured he would be.

She stops, taken aback by his response.

Abbie: You seem pretty calm about all of this.

Jack: I'm more nervous than I look. I'm just trying to stay relaxed. Why, do you want me to act like a wreck?

He gives a nervous chuckle.

Abbie: I need to know something, and if I get even a small bit of doubt about what you say, that's it.

Jack: Hah... Okay?

Abbie: If you won today, who would you have taken.

Jack: You.

His answer is quick and without thinking.

Abbie: Because I'm easier to beat than Trevor?

Jack: Because we're both easier to beat than Trevor.

She doesn't have a chance to respond as he continues.

Jack: In these few hours, he's gotten you to consider voting me out, when we've been allies since the switch. I will admit, and I'm being a hundred percent honest with you, I did not want to go to the final two with you. Just like you didn't want to go to the final two with me.

Abbie: I would have.

Jack: Over Wendy?

She doesn't answer.

Jack: I've played double agent for you, I've given you my immunity and put all attention on me. I've put my game at risk trying to get us both here. I wouldn't have betrayed you.

Abbie: Okay then, what makes it a smarter move to take you to the end over him.

Jack: Loyalty. You and I have been loyal to each other for a long time, but I've betrayed everyone else in the game. Trevor betrayed Romeo to get here, but they still like him, which means you're the only one here who's been totally loyal to someone the entire game. This is going to be a very bitter jury, so if you go in there against someone who betrayed everyone and isn't liked as much as you, you're golden. Most of this jury has been rooting for you to lose this whole time. They've wanted both of us to lose, so going against someone they want to win is suicide. If they want you to lose, then you have to go against someone they want to lose more.

Abbie: Okay, thanks for your honest... I have a lot to think about.

She continues walking to the well, leaving Jack to walk back to camp alone.

“	I may be pushing it too far, it's suddenly not looking so good for me, but I do feel like it's the smart move to keep me, and not because I'm trying to downplay my own game to her, but because I think Trevor would be impossible to beat in a final two. Hopefully heart brain, or heart or however she decides to choose, sees reason and I get to day 39, if not then... Oh well I guess.	”
–Jack

The confessional plays as the final three gather their belongings and head to Tribal Council.

Tribal Council

The final three enter into the Tribal Council area and place their torches before taking their seats. Abbie sitting between both men as Jack sits closest to Jeff, while Trevor sits near the entrance.

Jeff: We will now bring in the members of our Jury... Imahn, Leroy, Jenn, Lara, Wendy, Chris, Ethan, Romeo... and Rochelle, voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Jury

Rochelle takes her seat and looks over to the final three. Abbie smiles at her and winks, and she smiles back.Upon seeing Abbie's necklace she turns to both men and her smile becomes a knowing smirk. Both men calmly smile back.

Once everyone in settled Jeff takes his seat facing the final three ready to begin Tribal Council.

Jeff: Abbie, You are all smiles tonight.

Abbie: This is the happiest I've been... Since the game started Jeff. I'v ebeen through a lot getting here, so much that I seriously thought the this was a far off dream, but here I am. Day 38 and I'm immune.

Jeff: Jack, we all know and Abbie have a, let's call it, Rocky relationship. Where do you stand tonight, do you feel safe, do you feel worried, what's going through your head?

Jack: Honestly, I'm feeling pretty confident tonight Jeff. We've had our differences these past few days, but I do think there has been some progress there.

Jeff: So you feel safe?

Jack: Oh I wouldn't say that. Anything can happen, but I am confident I have a good chance.

Jeff: Trevor, let's talk about the challenge today. Jack falls out first, leaving you and Abbie, then we get to the bargaining.

Trevor: Yeah, Jack and I have never had any sort of final two agreement. Actually we kind of aligned with the understanding that neither of us would go to the final two with the other. When Jack pitched the idea of working together I told him I wasn't sure how I felt about going to the end with him, and he did tell me that I he thought he wouldn't beat me, but we both realized that it was the only way we'd get to this point. So here we are.

Jeff: Abbie, in my shoes if I heard this I'd be thinking "oh cool, I'm in the final two," but when you were talking during the challenge you seemed almost offended that this was said.

Abbie: I wasn't so much offended that I would have been safe, but more that they were making it out to be like I was easy to beat.

Jeff: So Abbie, after you win Immunity what happens back at camp? Was there any scrambling or did they just kind of accept what was goin to happen.

Abbie: Oh there was definitely some scrambling. Not from Jack, but Trevor plead his case to me.

Trevor: Can I say Jeff, that it really prves what I said to her that Jack wouldn't scramble for her vote.

Jeff: So what is the case to keep you?

Trevor: During this game, Jack has been in complete control of everything he and his alliance does. I told Abbie this and she old me that I was wrong, that she was in charge this whole time.

Abbie: I told him Jack wouldn't have made it this far without me.

There is an audible spit-take from the Jury as Romeo covers his face, and Trevor raises his hand.

Trevor: And I told her that would happen.

Abbie: Just because I haven't been as out in the open as Jack, doesn't mean I wasn't in control of what the two of us did.

Trevor: But that's not what matters, what matters is what the jury sees. How they, and pressumably I see what's been happening, and I don't see what your saying at all. I see Jack as the dominant force in you alliance. Compare either of you to me, what have I done? I broke my nose and almost went home on day 10 and have been invisible ever since.

Several jurors nod along in agreement.

Jeff: Jack, hearing all this how do you even defend yourself?

Jack:Well let's use his argument. Hope you don't mind if I steal it.

Trevor: Go right ahead.

Jack: I would not call Trevor invisible during this game. He was a major part of the longest lasting alliance in the game, and outlasted all of his allies to make it this far. Trevor is really good at talking, seriously five minutes into a conversation and you already have a new friend.

Trevor: I wouldn't say that.

Jack: If I'm sitting on that Jury, I'm thinking of who's going to win between these other two, it's Trevor hands down. He put himself in a position where he could get to the end, be a major contributor to his alliance and yet have no blood on his hands. You just say his name and everyone's like, "Yeah, I like that guy." Now let's compare him to both of us. We have one ally on this jury each. Everyone else would rather see both of us lose, they've been trying to make us lose this whole time. Then compare just the two of us without him, I've got way more blood on my hands, betrayed a lot of people including you like you've said. You're loyalty could be the major deciding factor that wins you this game.

Trevor: I disagree.

Jack: It's better than losing unanimously.

Jeff: Abbie, hearing all of this what's your deciding factor as to what you?

Abbie doesn't immediately respond.

Trevor: You've voted for him before, this is your last chance.

Abbie: My vote tonight will be to keep who I believe is the best chance of beating.

Jack (Whispered subtitles): Don't throw away your whole game at the last second. Please.

Trevor (Loudly): Don't let him control you. Vote him out.

The jury are all on the edge of their seats. Even Chris whose usual scowl had relaxed into something more curious leans forward.

Jeff: Alright, it is time to vote. Abbie has Immunity meaning you cannot vote for Abbie, which means Jack and Trevor can only vote for each other. This cancels out your votes, so Abbie will cast the sole deciding vote tonight. This could be a million dollar decision. Abbie, you're up.

Abbie walks into the voting booth and uncaps the pen. She takes a few minutes to gather her thoughts and decide on her vote before writing. As she makes a cross shape the camera fades to show Jack and Trevor anxiously waiting for her return.

Abbie: This is for my family, I'm not taking any chances on losing to you, sorry.

She returns to her seat and Jeff walks into the voting booth. He returns moments later with the urn and places it on his podium.

Jeff: Once the vote has been read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal council area Immediately. I'll read the vote.

18th person voted out and the 10th and final member of the Jury...

Trevor...

Trevor: Hoooo, you guys are in for a rough night.

AMBIANCE

He tosses his bag over his shoulder and stands to grab his torch. Before walking over to Jeff, He claps Jack on the shoulder.

Trevor: Congrats.

He walks over to Jeff and places his torch in the slot.

Jeff: It's been 38 long days, but unfortunately it wasn't your night. Trevor, the tribe has spoken.

Trevor: It was fun...

He takes a few steps down the path before stopping and turning around.

Trevor: It takes a lot of effort to make it all the way to day 39, more than anyone gives credit for, but it's even harder to win. This is going to be a hard choice for us, but in the end just don't forget; You both do deserve to be there, that's why you are there. So good luck to you both, I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Jack: Thanks Trevor.

Abbie: Bye...

He turns again to leave and once out of sight Jeff faces the final two.

Jeff: Well, I think he said it all for me. Congratulation to both of you for going as far as yyou can go in this game, but it's not over yet. Tomorrow you'll face the jury, ten people including Trevor, who you both had a hand in eliminating, either directly or indirectly will decide which of the two of you is most deserving of the title of sole survivor and the million dollar prize that goes with it. Grab you torches, head back to camp. Abbie, you can leave that necklace behind.

The pair of them stand and grab their torches. Abbie leaves her necklace behind and the camera focuses on it laying over her seat before fading out.

Final Words

“	38 Days... 38 Days, just wow. I serously never thought in my wildest dreams I would make it so close to the end. I am so proud of myself, I'm at a loss for words. To my family back home I love you all, I did my absolute best, but I just couldn't make it that one last day. And to everybody involved here, thank you so much for this opportunity and the experiences you've all given me.	”
–Trevor

Day 39

Deva Camp

The following morning the final two awaken and go to Treemail together where they are greeted with a feast of several breakfast items. Bacon, Eggs, biscuits, gravy, pancake mix, orange juice and champagne and well as several other meat and cheeses. Jack begins cooking up breakfast, and the two exchange some pleasantries and small talk, but it's clear that today of all days neither are interested, both are completely focused on the goal ahead. After Jack is done cooking they each fix themselves a large plate, make mimosas and walk down to the shoreline to watch the sunrise together. As they eat Abbie's confessional plays.

“	I've pushed myself beyond my limit, been through so many ups and downs, come so close to losing it all, but I persevered and pushed hard to get here. I'm so close to winning the game now and helping my brothers and sisters out so so much. This is a life changing amount of money and I can do some much good with it. I've gotten here thanks to them, without them I wouldn't have had a goal to push me and keep me going. I'm doing it all for you guys.	”
–Abbie

The pair of them are then seen dismantling the Deva shelter and dragging it out to the beach where they stack the remains into a large bonfire and ignite it. Jack's confessional plays over the scene of the shelter burning as they both grab their own belonging and head off toward tribal.

“	I've done things in this game, that nobody before me has. I've pushed myself to the limit mentally and physically to get here and like I've said many times, I've been pretty damn cutthroat. I'm still proud of myself though, all these people who think getting to the end with strategy and trickery thinking you need to also lie your ass off and swear on your father's life or something? I never did that once. I played a cutthroat game and still somehow feel as though I retained my civility. I learn from everyone's mistakes around me, not just my own, so I'm going into this prepared to win, but ready to lose, and that's fine.	”
–Jack

The scene fades and returns as the two walk into Tribal Council.

Final Tribal Council

The pair of them enter the set and place their torches in the slots behind them before sitting down. Once in their seats, Jeff speaks.

Jeff: We will now bring in the members of our Jury... Imahn, Leroy, Jenn, Lara, Wendy, Chris, Ethan, Romeo, Rochelle and Trevor voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Jury

The ten of them take their seats and wait for their chance to finally speak.

Jeff: Alright, Abbie, Jack. Once again congratulations on making it to the final two, you two have done what eighteen others could not. Now, however, the power shifts to the jury. Ten people who you had a hand either directly or indirectly in voting out, who you must now plead you case to as to why you are the one deserving of the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar prize that goes with it. We will give you each one last chance to plead your case, before we turn things over to the jury. Jack, we'll start with you.

Jack: Okay... um... Look I know a lot of people here are pretty sore at me, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking otherwise, I know I got a long uphill battle ahead of me, but honestly, that's been my game this whole time. I came into this wanting to be loyal, wanting to be the good guy, and for a while that's exactly what I did. Even some of you who I met later in the game, know how loyal I could be, but loyalty can only get you so far in this game, so when that didn't work I had to shift strategies and work with my cards closer to my chest. Only one person in this room right now ever told me they wanted to sit with me in the final two, and we all know they aren't sitting next to me right now. So I'm not going to make any excuses, I'm not going to pull the wool over anyone's eyes tonight, just pure simple honesty. I just hope you all can on some level respect the fact that you have to play with the hand you're dealt, and well.. I think I did damn well holding a four and an eight.

Jeff: Okay. Abbie?

Abbie: I was able to get through this game very differently than Jack. I was able to make an alliance and stick with it all the way through to the end of it, and still make my way to the end on the game with my own strength. I was able to control my alliance and my own game to get me here in spite of everything else going on, and while yes Jack was never my first choice to take to the end, he was always there and I would have been happy to sit next to him in any other moment. I believe that Jack propelled himself through this game for himself, he would have voted me out if he thought it would suit him, but I couldn't do that. I've spent this game, battling with myself as much as anyone else here, and unlike others in this game, I chose not to play with lies and trickery, because I know that I have to keep being the strong older sister that my family looks up to, and that's really my biggest driving force. I'm here to win this game to give my family the better life they've always deserved but never got the chance for, and I think they'll be proud of me.

Jeff: Okay, jury you've heard from both sides, now it's your turn. It's time to figure out which of these two deserves to win this game. I'll give you all a chance to think about what you want to say.

The scene fades out to commercial before returning to Jeff.

Jeff: Okay Jury, it's time to choose. Trevor, you're up first.

Trevor

Trevor: Okay guys. What's up? Last to get here and the first to speak haha... um, I don't really have anything, so I'm going to keep this short. You can not make it to day 39 without doing something correctly to make it there. I firmly believe that, but whether or not what you did to get here was the right thing in order to win? That remains to be seen. I don't really have any questions, but I will say that I am still undecided, so I'll be watching closely before I make my decison. Good luck guys.

He retakes his seat and Jeff calls for Chris, who stands.

Chris

Chris: I want to keep this brief... I really do. I don't like either one of you personally, and it disappoints me to no end that I have to choose one of you. Jack, let's start with you. I don't care about your "play with the hand you're dealt" crap. You got here by lying to everyone. You were not loyal to anyone. I offered you a final two deal, and what did you do? You blindsided me at the very next Tribal Council! Don't play the victim of circumstance here, you didn't care about any of your allies.

Jack: That is not true.

Chris: shut up. This is my chance to speak, you've had 39 days to speak, it's my turn. Abbie... I hate Jack, that's no big surprise, I really don't want to vote for him, so don't make me vote for him okay?

Abbie: I won't.

Chris: Well you're not doing a good job of that. You sit here tonight and say you're family propelled you through this game.

Abbie: Because they did.

Chris: Well then where are they? Because I'll gladly vote for them if that's the case, because they're clearly a better player than you. It really pisses me off, when someone comes in to the Final Tribal hoping their sob story will win them the day. You're family didn't play this game, you did. So tell us why you deserve to win. I swear if I here you mention that your family helped you without prompting form the jury again, well I may just walk out, because I'll be out of people to vote for then.

He takes his seat and Jeff calls up Wendy.

Wendy

Wendy: That was rough. Okay guys, there are really going to be no surprises from me tonight, you both know where my vote lies. I just wanted to say congratulations to both of you. Abbie you were my most loyal ally throughout the game and my best friend so thank you for that. Jack, I don't know how things would have turned out, if you would have saved me or not if I'd asked, but we'll never know, but thanks anyway for making this experience memorable.

She retakes her seat and it's Leroy's turn to stand.

Leroy.

Leroy: Abbie, I don't really have anything to say to you, all my focus is on Jack tonight. Jack You and I started this game together, we took control of the Qarsh Tribe together, we got a long and we were really friendly, but at the first sign of failure you just threw me away. Now I get what you did and why you did it, but looking at it I have to ask if I could really have done the same things, and in all honestly... I can't. I could not have done what you did to get to that spot. Now I realize that that's probably why I'm here and you're there. I understand that, and I respect that, but I need you to understand and respect that in spite of your hand being forced, I can not vote for someone who played a game I can't agree with.

Jack: Absolutely.

Leroy: No hard feelings.

Jack: Of course, believe me I wish I'd gotten here under better circumstances too.

Leroy takes his seat and Romeo stands.

Romeo.

Romeo: You guys both know what I do for a living, what I love most about this game all that, so let's talk. I want to give my vote to the person who played the best game overall, so let's get to it, Jack, strategically, physically, socially in that order tell me how you played the best game.

Jack: Strategically I played this game very close to my chest. I made consious efforts to make sure that I and the people I wanted made it as far as possible. I made a really strong alliance that was meant to propel me toward the end, after the switch and Qarsh started losing numbers, I had to focus more on saving who was closest to me. When I couldn't save them I focused on getting close to the people in power and working them against each other. I tried making myself always there, but never the main driving force, so that the dominant alliances would keep me long enough for me to get in and overthrow them. Physically, I'll be honest I was pretty lacking. I only won two immunity challenges and barely any rewards. Pre-merge, I was on one of the worst losing streaks in the history of Survivor. I knew I wouldn't be able to rely on my physicality, but I was able to strategically compensate, that said I never gave up and always busted my ass in challenges in order to win. I never threw a challenge. (Romeo smirks) Socially, I played way more of a moral game than I feel like I'm given credit for. I was open, I talked with everyone, I laughed I shared stories about my life and listened to all of yours. I only ever lied when it came to strategic cunning, but I never lied when it came to our home lives.

Romeo: Good answer, I like that. Kinda throwing some shade at me there, but you're playing I love it. Abbie, Social, Strategic, Physical. Go.

Abbie: Socially, I think I was the same as Jack. You guys all got to know about me and my home life, I was very open about what I did and about my home life, I never lied about my life at home. I don't think that has any place in this game. You all got the chance to meet my brother and learn about me on a deeper level. I was courteous and friendly even when we were working against each other. Strategically, I almost had you, had things gone as planned you guys would have gone out one by one at final nine instead of me, but that's not how it went. I had to adapt, so when my alliance became just three and then two I started working more as a tactician role for both of us, Jack would be my spy, or I guess more accurately he was my loyal attack dog. He would bring me information and I would come up with a plan to execute for us, and it got us this far. Physically I was up there, I think only Ethan won more than I did? I was able to make through winning three immunity challenges and-

Jack: Two.

Abbie: What?

Jack: You only won twice, I gave you the third immunity at Tribal.

Abbie: Did I say three? I meant two. Either way I was able to win the challenges I needed to guarantee my spot here and pick the person I wanted to be in the end with. If you asked me what the key difference is between us, I'd say he got by on luck, while I got by with physical skill.

Romeo: Awesome. Good luck guys.

He takes his seat and Lara stands

Lara.

Lara: Abbie, my questions are for you. I only want yes or no answers, anything more and my vote is gone. Did you know I was going home?

Abbie: No

Lara: Did you know Jack had an Idol the night I went home?

Abbie: No.

Lara: Did you have an Idol when I went home.

Abbie: Yes.

Without saying anything else Lara takes her seat. Jenn stands next.

Jennifer.

Jenn: Okay. Let's play a game of pretend here. Abbie, Jack, let's say we get to final ten, the plan goes off perfectly, Rochelle goes home and we make it all the way to final final five. The ideal plan as far as I was led to believe. I want each of you to give me your elimination orders and why. Let's just say you both win the last three immunity challenges to make it easy. Abbie, we'll start with you.

Abbie: At final five, I would have to say we vote you out. We didn't get to know each other that well, but you had this reputation of being a strong competitor. I think that reputation would have only grown as you got further. Then I'd say Lara because I wouldn't know if she would take me or not over Wendy, plus I feel like I would owe him for helping build that final five. Then Jack, because I always planned to sit in the end with Wendy.

Jenn looks to Jack for his answer.

Jack: The first person to go would be, in my mind, Abbie. Despite feeling of loyalty and working together, I know how strong of a physical and social threat she is, so I would think that she would be the biggest target. I also think Lara would have joined us in voting her out due to them not really seeing eye to eye on some things. Then Wendy because of her being such an all around threat and finally Lara. I think you and I would both figure that Lara would stay with us and be easier to beat in a final two over Lara, so we'd take out Wendy to better our odds in case we both lost final Immunity. As for voting out Lara, As much as I think she would be easier to beat than you, I was with you since day one. I couldn't break that bond after 39 days even if it cost me the game.

Jenn: Thank you both. Good luck.

Jenn takes her seat and Rochelle stands.

Rochelle.

Rochelle: Alright, I'm here. No more rocking the boat tonight I know when my game is done. I'm sure both of you know exactly where my vote is going tonight, one of you was like my child, the other was trying to take me out every chance he got. Regardless of whether or not it was the right move. Jack, I hope you don't regret voting me out when the time comes. Good luck. Abbie, congratulations.

She retakes her seat and Imahn stands to take his turn.

Imahn.

Imahn: Simple question for both of you, but simple questions lead to big reveals I think. Tell me which two people on this Jury you would remove and why. Jack?

Jack: Simple answers for a simple question. Sorry if I disappoint you, but I'd remove Wendy and Chris. I know for a fact I don't have Wendy's vote, and even with what he said to Abbie before I don't think anything will make Chris vote for me.

Imahn: Okay.

Abbie: Same reasoning. I'd remove Jenn because she obviously won't vote for me over Jack, and I'd say Trevor. I think if not Jenn, he would have sat next to Trevor if he won yesterday and vise versa, they were the closest two.

Imahn: No reasons now. one more each.

Jack: Rochelle.

Abbie: Romeo.

Everyone raises their eyebrows as Imahn turns and takes his seat.

Ethan.

The last juror takes the stand. Ethan stands in front of the final two wrapping his knuckles and gathering a breath.

Ethan: Initially I had some questions for you guys, but let's just skip those. I got something else on my mind after hearing everything tonight. Abbie something you said really got to me a bit ago, and no it's not about your family or your "three Immunity wins" it was when you said that even when you were without an alliance you remained courteous and friendly... I'm going to be honest I don't see it. When you lost Lara, from my point of view you just kind of shut off and secluded yourself with Wendy, until she left. Is it fair to say that after that you just sort of gave up?

Abbie: No. I never gave up, it's not in me to give up. You know that Ethan, you worked with me.

Abbie: I told you, I was working behind the scenes, getting information from Jack and working out a plan to get us both here.

Ethan: And that includes you almost voting him out?... I'm sorry I just... I don't buy it.

He turns to Jack.

Ethan: You sell yourself too short tonight, you played a hell of a game. (He turns to face the Jury) Ladies and Gentleman of the Jury, tonight it is our duty to pick which one of these two deserves to win, based on their merits. Is it really fair then to let your pride stand in the way of what's right? Because let me tell you, when it comes to a choice between too much, and not enough, the choice to me is obvious. I hope you all see it too and make the right choice.

Ethan returns to his seat and Jeff speaks.

Jeff: Well a lot of hard questions and biting comments tonight from the Jury, but that's all to be expected when you make it this far. We'll give the jury one last moment to think before they cast their final vote as to who deserves the million dollar prize and the title of sole survivor.

The is a pause for breaks before returning to the scene. Jeff then tells the jury it's time to vote, with Romeo leading the group. He's followed by Chris, Lara and Jenn.

Jenn (Voting for Jack): Partners till the end. Sorry if I freaked you out, but there was never any other choice for me.

Wendy (Voting for Abbie): No other choice, you've had my vote locked in, hope you get five more.

Wendy is followed by Imahn and Rochelle.

Rochelle (Voting for Abbie): Win!

Rochelle is followed by Leroy and finally Ethan.

Ethan (Voting for Jack): This is the right choice.

After the jury all return to their seats Jeff goes and gets the urn before he speaks one last time.

Jeff: Thank you all so much for another great season of Survivor. You've all been amazing. I'm sure you all are dying to see what's inside here, but it's going to have to wait until I see you again in New York. I'll see you all there.

He leaves and walks down the exit ramp of Tribal Council. As he walks by, the jury all stare silently at the final two as they watch him leave. Jeff walks down the ramp and to a speed boat which takes off after he boards and straps the urn in.
