Warning: Here be series-wide spoilers!

PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: TOCANTINS…

LET’S GET THIS SHOW STARTED!

After Forza get back from Tribal Council, Stephen is absolutely bricking it because he knows that J.T. didn’t put Coach’s name down, and he’s now paranoid that this will make the jury think that he’s an evil bastard who backstabbed Coach.

It’s now Day 37! And the Jalapao Three are feeling thrilled that they all made it to the final four intact, but Taj and Stephen start to realise that J.T. is a major threat to win. Erinn, the only former Timbira left, knows that if she doesn’t win immunity today, she’s next to go.

There’s some Tree Mail, and our four castaways receive a big toy spider and a cryptic message.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!

The castaways have to race through a series of rope tunnels in the shape of a tarantula to three different stations to retrieve three bags of puzzle pieces, one at a time. The puzzle pieces would then be assembled into a web-shaped puzzle. First one to complete their puzzle wins immunity.

Off we go…

As expected, J.T. (aka the human bullet train) is way ahead of everyone in collecting all the puzzle pieces. There’s one funny bit when he’s crawling down a tunnel to collect his third bag, which Taj happens to be climbing up and the two are having to squeeze past each other.

However, Erinn is very quick getting through the puzzle, and it’s become a nail-biting finish. Can she come from behind?

J.T. wins immunity!

Back at the Forza camp, Taj is feeling very secure that she’s sailing through to the final three.

Meanwhile, Erinn, who is totally not scrambling at all, tries to make her pitch to the two boys in an effort to weasel her way into the final three by putting out the idea that Taj is a major jury threat.

With the seeds now planted, the boys entertain the idea of Erinn being an easy beat in the Final Immunity Challenge, which could open up the door for them to get to the final two. They’re now completely undecided over what to do.

TRIBAL COUNCIL!

Once our final four take their seats, Jeff asks Stephen how the former Jalapaos managed to decimate the former Timbiras despite a 6-3 minority. Stephen puts it down to the fact that they stayed united.

Jeff then mentions the fact that Erinn is now the last remaining Timbira standing. She talks about how proud she is of that achievement. She also reiterates that SHE’S TOTALLY NOT SCRAMBLING, YOU GUYS.

Jeff then asks both Erinn and Taj whether bringing Erinn to the final two would be a good idea considering that all of the jury so far are former Timbiras. Taj says that doing such a thing would be dangerous.

Jeff then asks Stephen what his vote is going to be based on tonight. He says that it will be based on what will give him the best chance of making the final two.

Jeff then asks J.T. if he can trust the other three. He says that he trusts Stephen and Taj more than Erinn.

Jeff then asks Erinn and Taj if they would be surprised if Erinn is still here after tonight. Both say they would.

It’s time to vote!

Let’s read the votes! Who will become the sixth member of our jury?

NOOOOOO!!!

Farewell Taj, our dreams of an all-Jalapao final three have just been shattered.

Once the final three get back to camp, the boys are already regretting their decision because Erinn just won’t shut the fuck up.

It’s now Day 38! And having managed to weasel her way into the final three, Erinn is now trying to weasel her way into the final two by claiming goat status to Stephen.

She and Stephen recognise that if J.T. wins final immunity, they are both royally screwed as they feel that he would win a jury vote hands down. Stephen meanwhile, is shit scared about having to be the one to make that decision, as on one hand he’s made a deal with J.T., on the other hand, he thinks that taking Erinn as a goat would win him some easy money.

As our final three make their way to the Final Immunity Challenge, we have our traditional Rites Of Passage memorial of the 13 castaways that were previously voted out. They have special idols to collect from each torch along the way which they must burn in a bonfire at the end.

FINAL IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!

The castaways have to drop a ball into a metal chute with one hand tied behind their back. The ball will travel down a spiraling metal track and exit out of one of two points. They then have to catch the ball and drop the ball back into the chute at the top. Every few minutes, an additional ball would be added to the track. If a ball exits the track and is not caught, that person is out. Last one standing wins final immunity.

Off we go…

At three balls running, Erinn drops a ball and is the first one out. It’s now between the two boys. They now add a fourth ball. J.T. is looking very focused, while Stephen is having a little trouble keeping up. Who’s it going to be?

J.T. wins final immunity!

Our final three are now back at camp, and Stephen is massively relieved that he’s not the one making the final decision over who goes to the final two.

However, despite the pact they made together, he’s now completely at J.T.’s mercy, of whom Erinn starts to weasel her way into his good graces by claiming goat status again.

She also tries to make her pitch by claiming that Stephen had told her that he would take her to the final two if he had won final immunity.

J.T. is getting concerned about potential jury votes, and isn’t convinced that he can win a jury vote (this is very hilarious in hindsight). He now has a very hard decision to make. What is most important to him? Loyalty, or easy money?

TRIBAL COUNCIL!

The final three take their seats, and as the jury make their entrance, it couldn’t be more obvious that Taj is seriously pissed at the two boys by refusing to even look at them.

Jeff asks Erinn what her pitch to J.T. was. She rattles off how he could easily beat her at Final Tribal Council and how she’s a massive goat etc etc etc. Meanwhile, a good number of the jury look like they’re seriously hoping she doesn’t make it.

Jeff then asks Stephen the same question. He plays the loyal friend card.

Jeff then asks J.T. what the value of taking Stephen with him would be. He says that it would mean that he would be bringing the best to the end, a statement which presses Coach’s good buttons.

While he talks about the big decision he has to make, Stephen interjects and tries to guilt trip him by claiming a previously-unheard pact they had of having the Day 39 breakfast together. Jeff is completely bemused by this, and mocks Stephen for suggesting that potentially throwing away a million bucks is totally worth having a poxy breakfast.

Stephen then has a serious case of verbal diarrhoea which leads Jeff to suggest that he’s digging his own grave. Meanwhile, J.T. is sat there fretting big time over what to do.

It’s time for J.T. to vote!

Let’s read his vote! Will he pick loyalty, or easy money? Who will become the seventh and final member of our jury?

Loyalty wins. Bye bye Erinn, she clearly didn’t realise that bros come before hoes.

As the vote is read, Coach celebrates as if the Wicked Witch of the East is finally dead.

We now have our final two! The Warrior and The Wizard at the very end together…

See you guys for the second part of our finale!
