Original subtitles

Down, down, faster, hurry up. 36 days ago, 16 Americans began the adventure of

a lifetime.

All right, here we go.

They were abandoned in the heart of wild Africa and forced to work together to

build a new world while competing against each other for the title of sole

survivor and $1 million.

Survivors ready.

As two separate tribes, Samburu and Buran, they faced extreme challenges.

Get that down.

Get that down.

They battled each other. It don't matter. We're all making it. You

can't make the decision.

Tommy, Tommy, I had to open it for her. And they confronted the dangers of an

exotic land.

As alliances hit a fevered pitch.

We're going to take it all the way.

Trust me. A new twist to the game sent them reeling.

Silas, Teresa, Frank, you guys are now members of Braun.

Kelly, Lex, Tom, you guys are now members of Samburu.

Smokes.

Since that time, emotions have run high.

Well, then, which one do you want to take? That's what I'm saying. Well,

let's decide, then.

Some friendships held.

I didn't vote for a friend of mine.

And that makes me the happiest person on the face of the earth.

While others crumbled. I'm always set up by somebody who I love who's my friend.

After the merge, on day 20, tempers flared when Lex received a mystery vote

at tribal council.

I will not live with a snake.

I'm sorry. Someone voted against you, Mr. Ego. Deal with it. My gut tells me

that you stabbed me in the back and you're playing both sides.

Good riddance.

But through it all, they have continued to play the game.

And they have experienced the

culture in unforgettable ways.

It was a day I will never, ever forget.

This just shows me that there's more to life than just what's around the corner

at the house.

Last week, Lex won immunity.

And before tribal council, Teresa was desperate.

I know that I'm going to be the next one to go unless I can think of something

real quick.

To save herself, she played her final card.

She confessed to Lex that she was the one who cast the vote that sent him on

his witch hunt. She said, you know, when you got that one mystery vote, who at

the time I thought might be Kelly, I was the one that cast that vote for you.

But in her confession, Teresa also implicated Tom in hopes of getting him

voted out.

When I came over this tribe, a little birdie whispered something in my ear.

Did Tom tell you not to trust me?

Teresa's plan to get Tom ousted didn't work. At tribal council, the ex-Baron

members remained true to each other, and Teresa was the 12th person voted out of

the tribe.

Only four remain.

Tonight, they will compete in their final immunity challenges.

Two will continue on to face the jury.

One will outlast all the rest and become the sole survivor.

Congratulations, everyone.

Making the final four. Final four.

It's been quite an experience.

We're in the home stretch, and emotions are just all over the map. I mean, this

game goes over a 39-day period, and the whole thing is like a giant puzzle.

And sometimes when one person says something to you, like what T-Bird said

to me before Tribal Council, all of a sudden, some of the loose puzzle pieces,

you find the spot that they fit in.

T-Bird, don't.

Yesterday, right before tribal council, Teresa came clean that back when we were

voting off Clarence, she was the one that voted that second vote for Lex that

upset Lex so much in the beginning.

And Teresa also said Tommy had been lobbying to get Lex voted off, and that

was very upsetting to Lex.

Tommy had a grudge because he felt that Lex hung him out to dry.

I'm still skeptical of the whole Teresa thing. I would be skeptical.

Mama Cat had been approached a couple times by Tom, who had told her, you

know, if you happen to vote for Lex on any of these tribal councils, that's

totally okay by me.

In his mind, he can't write the vote down, but if someone else does, that's

okay.

because I am going to take Tommy and he and I are going to have a man-to-man

talk, just the two of us, and I am going to make him shake on it, on his son's

name. And if he won't do that, then I know what the truth is.

All right.

I'm not naively going to let myself be led to slaughter.

I've worked too hard.

What's up, Kimmy?

Nothing's changed.

Same place, same old, same old.

Today is day 37.

It's exactly five weeks today that we've been out here, and that's a long time.

Day 37.

Amazing, huh? I can't believe it.

The four of us left are all probably more surprised than the next about the

fact that we're still here.

I couldn't have imagined it being as crazy as it is. It's good, it's bad,

it's bitter, it's sweet.

Men are going off to work.

But more now than ever, our brains are focused on, well, is there anyone trying

to burn me?

I

felt

that there was a really good chance that Tom had pulled a bit of treachery when

it came to him and me.

And what I need to do is confront Tom with it and just find out, was it true?

Was he going to fess up to it?

Tom, I want to talk.

I heard some stuff yesterday that made me really unhappy.

And I need to talk to you about it because I believe in having everything

right out in the open. When we came back from Samburu, did you tell T-Bird that

she couldn't trust me, that I was not to be trusted?

Absolutely not.

No question.

No ifs, no ifs, no ands about it. What kind of question is that to ask this far

down in a game?

Hell, as far as I know, I don't think I did.

But if I did, Lex has been the man to watch. Hell, he's been winning the

immunities and everything else.

That's the reason he's getting all the votes.

If you're going to run in the front of the pack with a white horse, you're

going to be shot at.

Also, did you ever tell Kim that she should vote for me? That you would never

vote for me because we made a pact, but that she should vote for me? I told her,

yeah.

Yeah. Why'd you do that? Because in the game, if she wanted the other players, I

had no control.

Why would you tell her to vote for me when we made a pact?

Why dig up bones?

Not digging up bones. These are current events.

That's kind of like over at San Bruno.

You were the first one to say, well, don't vote for me.

No, I didn't say that, Tom, at all.

I thought it was only fair and right for me to say that none of us had votes

against us. And I talked to you about it before I talked to Brandon about it. And

you said that was the fair thing to do. I feel like you saved your ass, Omar.

No, that's not.

You know what? Well, I'll tell you right now, you're wrong.

Tom and I, there have been a couple of situations in the past that have arisen

that we haven't quite seen eye to eye on.

And I guess Tom had the impression that.

I wasn't really working quite with him or for him, but against him. All right,

now let me ask you this. Lex, all I had to do is vote one time and get you off.

Anytime I wanted to. I know that.

Anytime I wanted to. All I had to do was go like this. L-E-X. Yeah. Down there at

that cart. And you know what I did? You know what? I could have done the same

thing. That's right.

Tom, I want to go back to camp.

with you and I square it. But I don't want you walking back there thinking

that the only reason I'm still in the game is by your good graces. I'm not

here because anybody carried me along. No one carried me here.

You're responsible because you're here. I'm responsible because I'm here. It's

not because Big Tom did Lex a favor that I'm here. I haven't saved you. We've

covered each other. Right. And the thing about Lex, we've got three more days and

I'm not going to fall out in three days.

All right.

The thing between me and Lex is basically a case of paranoia.

and variation, but my alliance with Lex and Ethan has not, you know, has not

quivered.

I don't have to.

You're not going to shake on the fact that you... I don't have to make another

alliance. Today is the day we're going to go vote, and I don't want you to feel

like it. You're obligated to me.

I can't forget about what Tom has done for me in the past.

We could thank each other.

equally for still being here.

So I would not feel right about cutting him off at the knees because on a couple

of occasions, he's fallen from grace.

You know, the handshake's a big deal, though.

He's all, I already shook your hand once. I don't need to shake it again.

I said, all right.

We're taking a gamble bringing Tom in.

Yes, we are.

But, I mean, are you willing at this point to dissolve the original pact?

No, I'm not at all.

I'm not either.

Last night and this morning, there were some tough and trying times.

So we decided to take some time, go up to Borax and just sort of zen out for a

while.

What a view.

Isn't it incredible?

When you go up to Borax, it's so peaceful.

And we can also get, you know, a look down at our boma, which kind of gives

you a different perspective on things. And you just can't help but think about

stuff. We've been living in that little circle for 36 days.

This has been the ultimate adventure for me.

Every little bit of myself, my being, has been touched in some little way.

It really says the remoteness of the whole thing.

To walk away with that million takes a lot of luck.

And so far, I've been pretty lucky.

I'm just extremely happy that I've made it this far.

So I'm going to suck it in a little bit and enjoy it.

Three more days, we can't see this anymore.

Take it all in, cowboys.

It feels great to be the last woman standing.

I may make it to the final three, but I have to do that in my own power.

I have not won an immunity challenge yet. I haven't won a reward challenge

either. That's not to say that it can't happen, and nobody would be happier than

me if I could pull it off and buy myself another day or two here.

Playing the game for me at this point has become all about winning.

Damn it, I am going to walk away with that prize.

And I am here for one thing and one thing only, to take that million dollars

and to run with it. It's mine.

The torch with the message.

Oh, wow.

Names of dogs, college degrees, I hope you paid attention.

You may just be the next to go if your memory lacks retention.

What's your name again?

We're going to have to answer questions about ourselves or about past members of

Motomaji, you know, people that are on the jury right now, and whoever gets the

most questions right, then...

They get immunity.

What's Frank's other kid's name? Hunter Sage. I don't know.

That's another mental game.

I'm not that strong in that game, and it'll be tough with me.

Hunter Sage?

I have no idea.

One thing that I'm worried about is if I get a question wrong.

about one of the jurors that, you know, I supposedly close with, but could play

a little bit on the jurors if they just think you went through the motions

pretending to ask some important questions but not really listening to

the answers.

I think Kim's going to be strong. She is.

It's bones to bones tonight, isn't it? Yep.

I think Kim has got the best chance at winning this challenge. She's got a

really good mind for facts, she's got really good retention, and she takes a

genuine interest in everybody.

You ready, Lex?

Okay, guys.

Alex.

Ethan.

What's up, Big Tom? How are you?

Hey, Ken.

Now bring in the members of our jury.

Tonight's immunity challenge is called Fallen Comrades.

We're going to reveal how much you guys have learned about your fellow tribe

members. You've had a lot of conversations. How much listening have

you really done?

We're holding it at Tribal Council because ultimately, this is a game about

relationships. And the final vote will come down to the relationships you have

formed with the members of the jury. It'll be followed by a Tribal Council

where the 13th member will be voted out.

I'm going to ask you eight questions about the original tribe mates you spent

time with over the last 36 days.

Whoever has the most right at the end of the competition wins immunity.

Kim, congratulations.

Well earned.

Enjoy it.

Congratulations. Thank you.

So, Kim, you're immune from the vote tonight.

Guaranteed yourself a spot in the final three.

You also have assured yourself that you'll take part in tomorrow's final

immunity challenge, which means you will have participated in every single

challenge we've had.

Great achievement.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It's time now to vote.

Obviously, the only person you can't vote for is Kim.

The other three of you, a fair game.

Somebody's going home. Let's find out.

Kim, you're up first.

Sorry, buddy. You were great fun. He started playing that manipulating game

setting one person up against the other It just doesn't cut it with me

It was the exact thing I didn't want to happen.

It's not personal. It's every man for himself.

And I have no prayer beating you against the jury.

I respect you more than anything in the world.

You carried me all the way.

And I thank you for that.

Boys, it's been a hell of a bunch of fun.

We have kicked ass all the way from 16, and we would have done it again tonight,

but round one got immunity.

So, best of luck.

It's been fun.

We'll have to go run.

I'll go tally the votes.

Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person will be asked to leave

the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Tom.

Lex.

One vote Tom, one vote Lex.

It's two votes Tom.

Last vote.

Big Tom.

Bring me your torch.

Enjoy it.

Enjoy it.

Big Tom. Good to have you here. Thank you. Time is spoken.

So here you go. Goodbye.

Come down to this.

Three people. One immunity challenge left. Win, you're in the final two.

Get a good night's sleep. You're going to need it.

Can head back to camp.

Well, well.

Look at old Big Tom now.

It's been a journey.

I do want to say a special thanks to Lex, Ethan, for making our

lines with me and being man enough to stay with our lines.

Without y'all, I couldn't have made it this far.

Hey, love, peace, and higher grace.

Big Tom will talk to you later.

Day 38's here, buddy.

Let's go.

What up?

What up? It's you. Come on in, buddy.

Let's go. Come on. Where are we going?

Hey, welcome.

We've got a big, fun day.

How was night watch?

Good. Yeah?

Uneventful. It sucked.

I hit all night. Yeah.

You were no help with the night watch. You were just in there. Are they gone?

Well, about 30 minutes ago, they weren't. We'll see.

All right. I was up pretty much all night with...

which is diarrhea that I was cramping up pretty bad this morning, couldn't really

hold down water. It's just one of those things.

You went 12 or 13 times last night? At least.

I just didn't stop.

The game of Survivor never takes a time out. It's the real deal.

You come out here for 39 days, and if at any point during those 39 days you're

not 100% on your game or something happens to you, that's just tough.

It is a road trip. Just follow the move.

You can't predict anything in this game. That's why it's an amazing game.

It's, you know, twists and turns, and, you know, you can't control it, and that

makes it exciting and frustrating and new. You know, you can't predict

anything.

This morning, you will participate in a final rite of passage.

This is a chance to think about what it took to get to day 38.

This is a Samburu ritual, so we will follow their lead, always walking north,

fires on east and west, never looking back.

It begins with a blessing from the elders, who will beckon the spirits with

their sticks, asking them to forgive you for any wrongdoings you may have done to

others. and you should also focus on what you need to get through these last

two days.

Continuing north, you'll follow a trail of staffs representing your fellow

survivors. This is a chance for you to reflect on the impact the former tribe

members have had on your life and the impact you've had on their life.

You'll then come upon a group of Samburu tribe members who will lead you through

a ceremonial cleansing, which represents new life, your new life.

A mixture of goat fat and blood will be washed over your body, and you'll then

be asked to celebrate your rebirth.

This is for you. I encourage you to give yourself over to the experience.

It's yours.

Begin.

I'm 42.

This is a chance of a lifetime for me. I've done something that I wanted to do

and that just makes my life better.

That's really what counts to me.

It is very hard out here.

Harder than I ever expected it to be. And I think I've accomplished enough

just by being here.

I do have a charmed and wonderful life, and I appreciate it more since I've been

out here. Because the little things that you take for granted, like turning on

that faucet of water, crawling in that bed at night, you don't have it here in

Africa.

Mother Africa is just this wonderful, wonderful place.

I've grown.

I've learned.

It was an amazing adventure.

I planned on winning the whole thing, obviously.

I mean, you come here to win, and, you know, it was an unbelievable experience,

unbelievable game.

I play the game tomorrow. I play it next year.

I'm an athlete. I love to compete, but I'd much rather do it in a civilized

environment where I'm not battling manipulation and backstabbing. This game

is a serious, emotional rollercoaster ride.

I'd kind of assumed a leadership role for like day one. And then the incident

with Diane kind of like threw me down to the bottom. I went from like the CEO of

the company to the janitor.

I can't help but be myself.

It was hard for me not to have friends in different places and that kind of

screwed me. But hey, I made it past the hard part with the boulders and whatnot.

And for a skinny girl, you know, it's a big deal.

The funniest thing, you know, that I'm going to miss the most is the

challenges. I have come in like second or third on all the challenges. Me, I

mean, I won that one with Frank that was like the most physical one we've had.

And, you know, nobody will ever take me for granted again.

Not only is the game a challenge to me physically and mentally for my

competitive spirit, but just being out here in this isolation under these

conditions is also therapeutic.

The game hasn't really ever been about the money for me. It's been about coming

out here and doing something like this, which is just an amazing experience.

When you take a step back, you're like, wow, I mean, who gets this kind of

opportunity in their life?

Out here, you can't be as vocal as you might be back home, because if you are,

you might not be here long, and that's just part of the game.

I have met 16 of the...

Greatest individuals that I've ever met in my life. Some of them are like more

than others. They were all unique kind of people and damn what a ride.

You know

This is your final immunity challenge.

It comes down to one quality.

Willpower. How badly do you want this? This is your final endurance test.

Put one hand on the idol, each foot on a stump.

Once you commit your hand and your feet, you can't move them. The last person

left standing goes to the final two, and just as importantly, decides who goes

with them to that final vote.

Take your positions. Wait for my go.

Guys, just remember, keep your feet on the wood and be careful with your hands.

Don't lose contact with the idol. Don't lose your concentration.

Game is on.

Well, the good news is you guys have lasted an hour. The bad news is it's

only 9 a.m. The sun hasn't even begun to heat up yet.

Stay strong. Remember, keep your feet on the logs, your hand on the idle.

You guys have come a long way.

Another update for you.

Two hours.

It's got to feel like a lot longer. The sun is as hot as it has ever been.

Draw on whatever you have left.

Keep a hand on that aisle.

Ethan, your foot came off.

After two hours, 26 minutes, you're out of the game.

Are you nuts doing this?

I should be old enough to know better.

No matter what you guys are feeling, keep going, all right?

Because it doesn't feel good to let go.

Give it everything you got.

Don't leave anything up there.

All right?

OK.

Worked my butt off to get right here.

Then I go and I blow it on such a silly little mistake.

And I just lost concentration. My back foot came up. And that's the killer.

I can never, ever get to that spot again.

Feels horrible.

Feels horrible.

Still in the game.

I pretend I'm someplace else.

Where are you?

Lying on a beach, roasting in the sun, with a planter's punch at my side.

What do you figure, six, seven, eight more hours of this?

You look strong, but Lexus, you're just as strong.

Neither of them will give up, because they want the choice to bring whoever

they want to the final two.

Belly's gonna, you know, my belly's gonna... You've got the worst of it all,

right? Yeah, it's just, just drained.

Lex had problems with his stomach all night last night. He was up like ten

times going to the bathroom.

I'm sure he's dehydrated. Well, the sun is ridiculous right now.

It's hot.

Lex, you're out. Three hours, 21 minutes.

Kim, you have immunity.

The final immunity challenge was not luck, was not being nice, was not any of

the things that I had done so far. That was something that came out of me,

inside of me, a determination that I haven't seen in me maybe ever.

In your wildest dreams, you know, things like this happen. It doesn't ever really

happen to you, but it shows that dreams come true.

Never thought I'd see this again.

Never thought I'd see it ever. Got a little streak going on.

Never thought I'd see it ever.

I'm very stunned now that I'm in the final two when I can remember thinking

the first night here, oh, my God, I'm going to be the first one voted off.

Lex, Ethan, let's go.

A lot of the three of us are here.

No? Thank you. I'm glad we're here, too.

It's a good group. We had a pretty good bond right from the beginning. We all

needed each other to get here, that's for sure. Yeah, that's for sure.

You know, what will be weighing heavy on our minds and on our hearts today is

wondering which one of us is out of the game tonight and which one of us is

going to be here until the very end, until the final two.

Only one of us can stay.

And that's all up to Mama Cat.

Regardless of what happens, I was proud to play the game with you, and I was

proud to have an alliance with you.

That's true.

I mean, really.

I mean, I worked out really well.

My destiny is definitely in someone else's hand, and it's a scary feeling.

I've never been in that situation before, and I feel very vulnerable.

You know, my stomach's in knots. I don't know, you know, what to think. I mean, I

could be going home tonight.

I could, you know, I could be here tomorrow.

I'd understand because you wouldn't have to head with Lex and it's probably a big

decision for you. It's a hard decision just anyway.

You know, making two when there are three.

You've got a really, really hard job ahead of you. I'm just trying to think

of all kinds of things that would make me be able to make a decision easier.

I mean, I love you both equally.

Absolutely equally.

I know. It's just horrible. I mean, it's not just the biggest decision here. It's

probably one of the biggest decisions in my life.

You're in a tough, tough, tough situation.

When you won today, that was a bittersweet victory, but it also comes

with great reward.

Deciding who I'm going to vote off tonight would be more of a strategic

move if I thought one of the two of them would be more easily beatable than the

other. And I wish that nobody had to feel bad about it.

That's the double-edged sword of winning this immunity, that I have to do

something that will pain me and it will pain the person that I don't bring with

me to the final two.

There's nothing fun about that.

Now bring in the six members of our jury.

Then there were three Long day today started very very early

Let's talk about the immunity challenge Kim today in an absolute test

of willpower You a 56 year old grandma took on two young fit able-bodied guys

and you kicked their ass You earned that immunity Tell me about it today. It was

strictly just Stamina and guts going on, and there was something inside of me

making me stay.

It went beyond the game. It was something that I needed to do for me to

show me that I could do something, to will myself to do something that I

really didn't think I was capable of.

Ethan, what was it like for you? It was tough, obviously. It was very tough for

me.

I thought I would have done better, and I thought I would have been stronger.

It's going to bug me for a while. It's going to take a long time to be able to

get over that.

Lex, you two were fighting it, hung on as long as you could. What finally

happened? It boiled down to a physical problem. I finally did not have the

strength to stand anymore, and my mind and my will and my pride would have had

me up there another three hours.

But my body wasn't ready to deliver, and it didn't. And the strongest person won.

Here's where we're at.

Can't vote for Kim. She has immunity.

The rules clearly state you can't vote for yourself, which means, Lex, you can

only vote for Ethan. Ethan, you can only vote for Lex.

No need for you guys to vote. Your votes nullify each other.

Therefore, the only person who will vote tonight is Kim.

Obviously, Kim, lots of reasons why you might pick one guy over another.

The only question I have for you is, do you want to hear from these guys as to

why they think they should stay, or have you already made up your mind?

I actually haven't made up my mind yet.

This is probably the most bittersweet thing that's ever happened to me. I just

feel so bad that I can't choose both of them. I almost wish that one of them had

the immunity and I didn't even have to make this decision.

If they have anything they'd like to say, I'd love to hear it.

Lex, anything you want to say?

I want you to vote. Vote your heart.

And don't look back and don't regret anything, because it'll be all right,

and that's fine.

How about you, Ethan?

Do what makes you feel good inside.

Yeah. Okay, Kim. And this is the last time you will have any control over this

game. After 38 days of being in control, after tonight's vote, all the power goes

to the six members we already have in our jury and the seventh that you're

about to add.

Time to write down a name.

You're up.

Please forgive me. This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do You're

an incredible competitor a great friend If I could come up with a wonderful

reason, I'd love to give it to you.

I Know we'll always be friends

I'll go tally the vote.

Once the vote is read, the decision is final. The person will be asked to leave

the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the vote.

The 14th person voted out of the tribe.

Lux.

Congratulations, good luck.

Lex, Travis, welcome.

It's time for you to go.

The power is now completely in the hands of the jury.

You guys have tonight and tomorrow to think about what you're gonna say to

convince seven people you just voted out of this game to turn around and vote for

you and reward you with a million dollars.

You can head back to camp.

We'll see you tomorrow.

I can honestly say I spent 38 days here. I played as hard as I could. I played

straight and honest and true.

And, Mama Cat, I don't have any ill feelings. I've got no problem with the

vote that you cast tonight. You had to vote for somebody.

It was a tough call.

I'm sure he was really upset.

I did the right thing, and I really did the right thing.

No regrets.

Oh, yeah.

It's hard to think no more nights.

No, it's not.

Final two, day 39.

I can't believe I'm even saying the words.

Yesterday I was concerned about having to vote off one of the two guys, and

today I can just really, just relish being at the end here with Ethan and the

final day.

I'm just beside myself that I'm here.

Yeah, it's huge, Ethan. It's huge.

We've been waiting a long time for this.

Today is a very good day.

I'm just feeling relief, a sense of joy, a sense of gratitude for Kim for

choosing me.

I really couldn't be here with a better person. I'm very excited about that. I

mean that, you know, sincerely.

As the time drew closer to decide who to bring to the final two with me, the

decision became harder and harder. But I feel that Lex thought he deserved it.

I'm not so sure that Ethan felt he deserved it, and maybe ultimately that's

what made the decision easier for me. I only won two challenges.

People might think, well, he just got lucky and fell into this. No, and you

don't get here just by being a nice guy. You've got to do a lot of things right.

I mean, there are things that you would do anyway, just in your life. You know,

you are who you are when you come here.

That's what got you here. I think that's what got you here, and that's what gets

you through.

Kim, we have to cross off our days.

Don't you think this whole thing will go down as one of the ultimate experiences

in your entire life?

Yeah. I thought this would never happen to you. Yeah.

38.

Goodbye.

Here you go, Flint.

Put your initials down there somewhere, and I'll put my initials.

Good, huh?

Good.

You like?

I like. I'm done.

Okay, okay.

Tonight at Tribal Council, you know, I think it's going to be a one-vote jury.

I see myself getting the guy votes, Lex and Tom and Frank.

And I see Kim getting the girl votes, which is Kelly, Little Kim, and Teresa.

And Brandon is going to be maybe the swing vote.

Same piece now.

We'll take one last look because you're never going to be in this spot again.

I'm hoping it's not. I mean, hopefully, you know, Tom will lighten it up a bit

and maybe... But Lex is going to ask a deep question.

So they're going to be deep and they're going to be heavy.

I guess the experience

tonight, it will probably be tense.

It's a big deal that now...

have to decide which person is the one that deserves to win and not only win

the money but deserves to win the game and to me that's really important you

might say they were an unlikely pair to make it this far if you were placing

best at the beginning of the game you'd probably say that kim might have gone

early because she was oldest and you might have thought weakest.

And Ethan, you might have thought, might go far because he's going to hide under

the radar for a while, but at some point in time, he's just not going to have

bonded with people.

So it's interesting that an introvert and the oldest person in the tribe are

the last two left.

No one ends up in the final two by luck or coincidence.

You can end up maybe in the final four by being lucky.

But when you're in the final two, that's on your own valor, and that's on your

own merit.

What's going to be really interesting about tonight's tribal council is that

you look at the seven members of the jury, and they are all over the map.

They run the gamut. You've got all different kinds of people with different

opinions of the final two, and it is still anyone's game.

Tonight's tribal council for me will be bittersweet. Number one, the game is

over.

Number two, I didn't get as far as I would have liked to have gone, which

would have been first or second, ideally first.

Also bittersweet because the two people that I'm trying to make a decision on

are two people that I respect and genuinely like a lot.

Of course, the whole game's been pretty difficult, so why should it change now?

There's a lot of revenge involved in tonight for me and not so much revenge.

It's just satisfaction because I Don't really care for one of the people that

are up there tonight And ultimately I'm gonna get to vote against them. So I

think that's pretty much the ultimate Satisfaction for not really liking

somebody but the fact that they made it 39 days with so many of us who have

really big personalities You have to give them credit.

I mean anybody who made it 39 days you have to give them credit

There is loyalty in this game. It's that loyalty that will catapult you up.

As seen with these two people that are in the final, they had a loyalty to each

other. But even in this game, everything gets cut loose at the end because there

can only be one survivor.

As far as making a decision on who to vote for, I made it in 2.9 seconds.

As soon as I got voted off...

That night going out of tribal council, I said to myself, Seth, I know who I'm

going to vote for or anything.

So my question tonight, it'll not be a serious question. They're going to

scratch your head and say, what kind of stupid question did he ask?

And I want them just to laugh and think, how stupid is old Tom Buchanan?

I don't know what approach I'm going to take tonight.

i would like to see them squirm i'm the source loser out there and i'll be the

first one to admit it so after the kelly voted off debacle which it was because i

didn't vote for stupid lex but that's fine i can't wait i hope i get in there

and they're quaking in their little rebox i just want to see fireworks

because i've been sitting there for a really long time and i just like to

watch things happen i want to go now

Ready to bring in the jury? I am.

Welcome, Ethan, Kim.

Welcome, jury, to the final tribal council.

Significant differences from any other tribal council.

First one is, you two won't vote.

Tonight, only the jury votes.

And the other very big difference, tonight, you want to see your name on

that piece of paper.

The jury is no longer voting against somebody. Tonight, the jury is voting

for a winner.

We're going to start by giving both of you a chance to address the jury.

State your case.

Why should the seven that you've already voted out turn around and vote for you?

Kim, start with you.

I can't ask you guys to vote for me. I think that when you're out here with

somebody for 39 days, 24-7, I'm not sure I've ever experienced anything like that

before in my life, not even with my family.

So it would be very hard for me at this point to tell you something that you

don't think I am already.

The only thing I can tell you is that by being older than every single one of

you, all of you made me feel young. You all made me feel important.

Without exception, each one of you has helped me be the best that I can be. And

so I'm leaving here like a winner big time.

Ethan.

Well, when I first arrived here, I set some goals for myself.

Obviously, to last as long as I can, but more importantly, to go home with my

integrity and to kind of prove that...

Good, honest people can get far in the game. The game consumes so much of

everyone, and sometimes it clouds people's personality. It clouds the way

you act. It clouds the way you treat other people. So it was important for me

to achieve those goals.

And if you knew me from day one, if you knew me from the switch, if you knew me

from the merge, it's important just to, you know, look at the whole picture and

got to vote what's in your heart.

That's all I have to say.

Okay, Jerry, I want you to take some time to think about what Ethan and Kim

have just said.

Because in a moment, you're going to each ask them a question that will help

you decide who will be the sole survivor.

Okay,

Jerry, here's your chance to address the final

two.

And here's how it's going to work.

You guys can ask a question and or make a statement.

When you're done, have a seat.

We'll move on to the next jury member.

Brandon, get us going.

It's kind of funny tonight because I honestly do not know whose name I'm

going to write down.

Honestly don't. I didn't know either one of you until the merge.

And in the eight or seven or eight days we spent together, I'm not sure how well

I got to know either one of you.

So then I started thinking, who got to know me and liked me the best?

And I realized neither one of you liked me enough to keep me around three days

longer than Frank, so you couldn't like me that much.

So what I want to know is, if the two of you weren't sitting there, out of the

seven of us, which person would you most like to see sitting there and why?

Ethan. The person I would like to see sitting next to me the most would be

Lex.

Lex was confident. He had extreme will. He won so many challenges. And if

I could beat Lex at one of the hardest games around, it would be one of the

greatest accomplishments that I could accomplish.

Kim.

I would definitely agree that, I mean, I'd have to go with Lex.

He was as supportive of me as anybody here.

I mean, even at one point I said, you know, I can't believe I messed up this

challenge. You know, I don't have any excuses. And he said, like, yes, you do.

You have 56 excuses.

And I thought that was very thoughtful, you know, that he would, you know, say

that. And he meant it with all sincerity.

The second part of my question was, I wanted to know who you thought deserved

to sit up there the least out of the seven of us. Just tell me the name. You

don't even have to say why.

Um, you.

That's tough.

I guess... I guess Tommy and...

It's only because I felt that he was at the end, maybe not so, so in favor of

women, but that's just a feeling that I had at the end. I think, I mean, I think

he's cool because he's a guy's guy, but that's maybe if I have to pick a reason,

that would be the reason.

Sorry, Tom.

Lex.

Once you get back home, what is the first selfless act that you are going to

perform? The first unselfish, selfless act. The first act of charity that I am

absolutely going to do is to look into this project that we all want to do as

survivors, the Wamba Project.

When I heard that 33 million people have AIDS, but 22 million of those two-thirds

are here in Africa where we are, it's something that I feel really strongly

about doing.

Ethan. When me and you went on our trip to Wamba, that very last second where I

was playing hacky sack with all those little kids, that kind of touched me,

and my selfless act would be to give my time to some sort of inner city soccer

league where I can look at these kids, these diamonds in the rough, and get

them to start a league. Because the smiles on those kids' faces when I

started playing soccer, that inspired me a little bit.

Okay, thanks.

Frank. Evening, Kim, Ethan.

Congratulations so far on your achievements.

When we set foot on this continent, the first thing we were educated and warned

about was Africa's big five, the rhino, the Cape buffalo, the elephant, the

lion, and the leopard.

16 new contestants.

were placed before you and you had to personally advise them on how to outwit

outplay and outlast i want you to name me the big five characteristics that

those individuals would have to possess to be the ultimate survivor i would

think you need willpower you need strength you need integrity

you need um intelligence

and a little bit of luck.

Kim. I think you need respect, thoughtfulness,

flexibility, love, and

understanding.

Thank you.

Kelly.

Hi, guys. I'm going to say hi. I haven't talked to you in a while.

I've had 15 days to sit here and think about who was going to be across from me

on this big night.

And to be totally honest, I had hoped to see you guys on this side of things with

me.

But it could have been worse.

Kim, I was surprised and disappointed by

your conduct my last few days at camp.

But... You did do some great things, too.

You gave me something that I've been wanting for a while now, and that was

giving Lex the chance to do his own walk of shame, so thank you for that.

Though you totally sold me out, I admire you for everything you've done, but

I hope you know that part of your success tonight comes at my expense.

If you think you did this with high integrity, Don't flatter yourself.

On the other hand, we have Ethan.

You know, I've had to sit there for a long time, and I've listened to what

Jeff said, and this game's about relationships, and I certainly didn't

see you try to make one with me. I don't know about everybody else.

Hence my dilemma.

I thought a lot about it.

I'm going to need a little help.

I've got to pick a number between one and a thousand.

Kim.

Three.

Ethan.

Um... 888.

Thank you. Very proud of you both.

Kim Powers.

Hi.

Um... When I play the game... I learned something about myself from people like

Tom and Frank that I would never, ever have the opportunity to learn from. And

it was more about myself than it was about them. It was things that they

showed me. So my question to you guys is, who on the jury did you learn the

most about yourself from?

And who on the jury did you learn the least about yourself and why?

Kim.

Strangely enough,

I think I learned the most about myself from you. I mean, you know, it wasn't

that you were on with the tribe with me for so long. It wasn't that you were

particularly supportive of me, but you had the guts to call off a wedding

that I don't know that I could have done.

I think that in all my years, I would just maybe keep doing what was expected

of me.

And for you to have learned that at such a young age, I wasn't too old to learn

it. And then the next thing was when you sort of got...

dealt a blow by one of your tribe members and when you took your whatever

amount of time to get over it your immediate reaction after that was was

that it was very very important to you to want to get back and be friends with

that person so you may not forget but you you were a forgiver and i think that

that's that's huge so i mean i i learned an amazing amount from you the second

half of the question um

Tom, I'm not picking on you, buddy, but I had a lot of laughs with you, and I

liked that, but it wasn't that I learned a whole lot.

I mean, I had a great time, but I didn't learn a lot.

Ethan. I think I learned the most about myself from Teresa.

I felt a bond with Teresa because she's almost like my safe place in this game,

and I felt...

Extremely comfortable with her and her willpower and her desire to win her

desire to be here. It was just Such an inspiration to me and something I strive

to be like and something I'll carry away from this forever forever and the person

I I Learned the least about from would be probably

Kelly It seems that I didn't take enough time to get to know Kelly

And I'm sure she's a great girl, and I'm sure I could learn a lot of things from

her. But it was a mistake that I didn't spend as much time with her as I could

have.

Big Tom, you're next.

First of all, I want to congratulate both of you for making it this far.

And just...

Just getting there because it's a great accomplishment. So I've got to ask a

question and I will.

In camp, I lost a little bit of weight and it was because of the mush.

Ethan, if a hyena came through camp and ate our mush and then after he ate

it, he turned around and licked his hind end, did he do it because that was an

animal instinct or because to get the taste of the mush out of his mouth?

What do you think?

Well, if I know, if I was a hyena and I had eaten that mush,

it would probably be the cleanest hyena, because I didn't

mind the taste of that mush as much as you did.

Okay. Kim, you cooked that mush, so it might be double standard for you,

but do you understand? I mean, did you hear the question?

I did hear it. Okay, what's your rebuttal? I'm answering the same

question. Yeah.

I would have to say that the hyena, you know, was just cleaning his hind end.

I mean, the mush was the only thing he had to eat, and I would think that

maybe, you know, he needed it to survive, and when you get hungry enough,

you eat what you have to eat, and taste is one of the first luxuries that goes

out the window.

And thank y'all, and congratulations again on both of you.

Teresa.

Well, that's a tough act to follow.

What I'd like to ask you is, even trying to play with integrity, I know

there are times when you have to say something about somebody that you wish

you could take back.

So if you could take back anything you said about any of the jurors.

What would it be, and who was it said about?

I'm not so sure it was something that I said, but it was something that I did.

I didn't sell Kelly out, but I didn't know enough to go to her defense.

There was a vote that was cast that I really didn't think was a vote of hers,

but... I misjudged that it was somebody else, and it was somebody else, but it

all occurred so fast that, and I'm not making excuses because there is no

excuse for it. I was wrong not to at least look into it better, but that's

the one thing I regret of all of this more than anything that I've done here.

On a similar line, when that same vote was cast, this mystery vote that

everyone was talking about, I had thought that vote came from Frank.

And I sat on it for a while and I definitely mentioned my concerns that it

was from Frank and that we got to take care of this right away.

And luckily I didn't because it turns out that it wasn't Frank and I would

have made the wrong decision. But I feel bad about, you know, accusing someone so

quickly without, you know, going in and finding more detail about things.

I congratulate you both. I think you both deserve to be there, and I'm crazy

about both of you, so good luck.

Okay, jury, you have a big decision to make.

You're about to reward somebody with a million dollars and the title of

survivor.

I'll give you a minute to think about that decision.

Okay, jury, it's time for the final vote. I just want to remind you,

tonight, you are not voting against somebody. You are voting for somebody.

The person you feel most deserving of the title and the money.

Or perhaps in the case of a couple of you, the lesser of two evils. Either

way, you are voting for a winner.

Brandon, you're up first.

This is a pretty funny game because I came here. I mean, my question was

totally just a way for me to get one last jab at Frank.

I totally was going to vote for Ethan without even thinking about it.

But you know what?

Ethan was so stupid, he slammed me on my own question.

So you don't slam somebody on their own question and say you would be the least

likely to pick that person and then expect them to vote for you.

Kemp's just as deserving as Ethan, and it's kind of cool that a 56-year-old

woman did really well, so... And she didn't slam me on my own question.

Dumb Ethan. So stupid.

This was just an unbelievably hard decision for me to make, and I have to

say that I came in here tonight thinking that I would be voting for Ethan. I

think I realized that both you and Ethan were absolutely amazing competitors in

very different ways, and I was extremely impressed with both of you, and it was a

very hard decision for me.

Kim, you impressed me so much.

You're 56 years old, and you are a really strong woman.

For whatever reason, I think he deserved to win.

Just like the Indian woman in my hometown that stuck a knife in my back.

Everything goes around, comes around.

And Kim, you lost two or three challenges, and I felt sorry for you.

But then I decided we'd keep the weakest one.

And you was the weakest one, and you rode me in, Ethan, and Alexis Cotell, to

get where you are.

But you're not Dorothy, and you can't click them shoes and do something

miraculous this time.

Because your fate has caught up with you. No, I'm not whispering like you

tell me every morning. Tonight it's my turn to tell you. Shh, I'm hushing you.

Shut up, you're done.

Ethan, the best man is one.

The weak one just runs off.

I don't care if they did hear it.

Well deserved.

Benjamin, isn't there something you wanted to tell me?

Oh, yes, Mrs. Robinson. Thank you very much for the opportunity. No, no,

Benjamin. The room number.

568.

Graduate was my favorite movie.

Congratulations.

For the last time in Africa, I'll go tally the votes.

Jerry, 39 days, long time.

39 days out here in Africa in what has been without question the most

physically demanding and mentally challenging environment Survivor has

ever taken place in.

Life-changing. But as Lex said, you don't get to this spot by accident

or by coincidence. You get here because you earned it. No matter how you break

it down, no matter how you justify it or apologize for it, You're here. They're

not so Now that the votes have been cast nothing you can do to help yourself or

hurt yourself Kim before I read these anything You want to maybe admit

to? That you wouldn't want it to admit it to during the game because it might

have affected the vote But that now that everything's done you're willing to give

up Yes, if the truth must be known I was probably

really scared out there a lot of the time

I may not have covered it as well as I thought.

And I think I was scared of failing, scared of letting myself

down, scared of letting you think that maybe I didn't deserve to be there. And

then at some point, that kind of all changed for me.

When? Do you recall? Was there a moment when you got power or what?

I'm not so sure I got power, but...

In that last community, I felt like I needed to prove that

I deserved to be there, that I could do it on my own, that none of you guys

needed to carry me or was because of my great cooking, you know, or whatever,

that I was still there.

And somehow I just held on, and I felt that I

needed to do that just to prove it.

Were you proving it to them or were you proving it to yourself?

I guess I like to think I was proving it to them, but I think for me and what

I'll take away for the rest of my life is that I did prove it to me.

Ethan, after enduring a certainly tough final tribal council where you were

evaluated and maybe even felt attacked at certain times, anything about...

What went on, whether it be a question or a comment or anything that surprised

you tonight?

Yeah.

I was surprised with Kelly, someone so smart, so knowledgeable about the game.

I was surprised that it came down to the fact that she was the number to

determine who, you know, who's going to win.

That surprised me a little bit.

Frustrate you after spending 39 days in a hut made of elephant dung?

Yeah. We all worked hard. Everyone worked hard to get where we are.

It's a little bit silly to come down to something as simple as that. Silly, but

is it fair? If that's the deciding vote, and it comes down to you picking a

number between 1 and 1,000, you going to be okay with that?

I guess I have to be, don't I?

Yeah, I guess you do. All right, let's get to the vote.

Here's what's at stake for the winner.

Chevy Avalanche truck.

Same truck, in fact, that Lex...

used to deliver the HIV test kits out to Wamba Hospital.

The title of survivor.

Bragging rights, which, when you're a type A, like the 16 of you guys, that's

worth something.

Finally, a million bucks, which is $900,000 more than the runner-up gets.

So keep in mind, as I read these votes, if your name is on the ballot, that is a

good thing.

That is a vote for you to win.

There are seven votes. It takes four to win.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Kim.

Ethan.

One vote each.

Kim.

Ethan. Two votes Ethan, two votes Kim.

Three votes Ethan.

Ethan, you need just one more.

The winner of Survivor Africa.
