Warning: Here be series-wide spoilers!

PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: VANUATU…



LET’S GET THIS SHOW STARTED!

After Alinta get back from Tribal Council, Eliza is pretty salty after getting blindsided tonight, and takes particular issue over what Twila not-so subtly implying that she wasn’t deserving to be at this stage of the game.

Twila immediately chimes in by calling Eliza a coattail rider, and the two have another huge fight.

Eliza then airs her grievances to Chris, and he applies some damage control by explaining his need to get rid of whatsherface (ed- Julie). And I love how he explains it: he says that, in classic Chris hammy style, that “she was a PLAYER, A PLAYER”.

It’s now Day 37! And Eliza knows that she needs immunity today because she’s 100% got two votes coming her away as Scout and Twila are sticking together.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!

It’s a vertical maze challenge. Each castaway must climb up and down the maze to collect puzzle pieces. First one to solve the word scramble wins immunity.

Off we go!

This challenge looks really freaking exhausting. Lots of climbing involved, I feel winded just watching the damn thing.

Anyway, Chris is the first to get all of his puzzle pieces, and is quick to find the winning phrase…

Chris wins immunity!

After getting back to camp, Twila airs her grievances to Chris about Eliza shooting off at her the previous night, which he’s more than happy to let her indulge in. Twila does show some awareness that the more she annoys the jury, the more votes Chris is likely to get in the Final Tribal Council.

In fact, everyone is trying to wheel and deal with Chris today. As for him, he doesn’t care as long as he wins the whole thing.

TRIBAL COUNCIL!

After the final four take their seats, we get a Probst Dick Moment when he brings up that dreaded balance beam (oh he isn’t biased against Chris, not at aaaall…).

Jeff then asks Eliza if she’s jealous of Chris having immunity. She says that she’s really happy for him and if she didn’t have the necklace, at least Chris does.

Jeff then turns his attention to Twila and asks if she still doesn’t trust anyone. Cut to Sarge in the jury box giving her a massive death glare.

Despite bringing her bag along, she claims that she feels at ease tonight, which sets off Eliza’s alarm bells.

Jeff suggests that Scout doesn’t look worried either. She says that you never know in this game and she might be the one voted out tonight.

Jeff then says that Chris is friends with the other three. Chris says that despite that being the case, he’s going to focus on playing the game.

Jeff asks Twila if she’s ever had any regrets in this game. She responds that she knows that she’s made a few mistakes, which instantly earns an eyeroll from Ami in the jury box.

She once again states that she should never have sworn on her son’s name. Don’t worry, we’re not done with Songate just yet.

It’s time to vote!

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

I mean, damn that’s cold.

After the final three arrive back at camp, the two older women are in full-blown gloat mode.

It’s now Day 38! And everyone gets a surprise visit from Jeff.

Jeff has come to explain that as part of their Rites of Passage, they will visit the grave of Roy Mata and tells them that they all need to leave a gift at the gravesite.

After paying their respects to their fallen comrades, they arrive at Roy Mata’s grave. Chris leaves the spirit stone the men were given, and the two older women leave the chief staffs.

FINAL IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!

Our final three are asked to pull back a bow and arrow, and maintain the warrior’s pose on stumps. They must not release the arrow or step off the stumps. Last one standing wins final immunity and a spot at the Final Tribal Council.

Off we go!

After a short while, Scout struggles to maintain her strength, and is the first to pierce her marker.

It’s now a showdown between Chris and Twila.

30 minutes pass, and Chris starts trying to psyche out Twila. Scout puts her foot in her mouth and tells Twila to stay focused, and Chris now realises that taking the two best friends to the final three probably wasn’t the best idea after all.

55 minutes have now passed, and Chris has made it abundantly clear that he is determined to win this challenge. He needs to otherwise he’s 100% going out in 3rd. A few minutes later, Twila is starting to feel the pain in her feet, and when trying to adjust herself, she suddenly slips…

Chris wins final immunity!

The funny thing about his victory celebration is that he throws his cap into the ocean, and then he obviously fished it back out and put on the now soaking wet cap.

After they get back to camp, Twila is worried sick that Scout’s little outburst will cost her a spot in the final two. And she should be, because Chris is convinced that they had a pact together, and is seriously considering voting out Twila as punishment.

Chris confronts Scout and tells her flat-out that he hasn’t decided who he’s taking, and demands her to honestly tell him if she and Twila had a pact. She deflects the question by saying that they had a final four agreement.

After all that, Chris still doesn’t know what to do, and says that he might make his decision at Tribal Council.

TRIBAL COUNCIL!

After the final three take their seats, Jeff brings up what happened at the Final Immunity Challenge. Chris admits that Scout’s outburst made him lose trust in Twila, and convinced him to fight it out.

Jeff asks him if he was approached. Chris says that he wasn’t, he simply laid clear that his decision could go either way. Scout effectively says that she’s happy regardless of tonight’s result because she loves both of them.

Jeff then asks Twila if she’s worried. She admits to being so, and says that she worked hard to get this far and doesn’t want to settle for 3rd.

Chris says that he’s not going to look at how the other two played the game, but how he himself played the game.

It’s time for Chris to vote!

Let’s read his vote! Who’s going to become the seventh and final member of our jury?

There you have it, Scout is our fallen angel for this season. Meanwhile, Ami on the jury box looks visibly disgusted when Scout gives Chris a big fat kiss goodbye.

And with that, Chris has only one name left to cross off his list…

See you guys for part two of our finale!
