Luzonsdfep

is the season finale of Survivor: Luzon.
== Summary ==
=== The Final Five ===
Jeff is standing at the stage in front of a cheering crowd. He welcomes everyone to the season finale of Survivor: Luzon as only five players are remaining. One of these will be crowned as the fifty-fifth Sole Survivor of the series. But who will it be?
Will it be Ruben? The driven, strategic and dominant co-ringleader of the majority alliance. Ruben dominated the entire merge and always had his word ready when needed. While he was excellent at the strategic part of the game, his liability is his physical and overall social game. Will he be able to turn the tables and become the winner?
Could Eduardo take it home? The soft-hearted and kind father-figure has helped out majority of people which has caused people to root for him. His naive gameplay might get in the way of his possible victory as he might be overshadowed by the bigger gameplayers.
Maybe it’s Ricky who pulls out a win. Making the biggest personal growth, Ricky started from being moody and annoyed to a strong challenge beast who tried to help out his friends in the game. Will he be able to sway the jury his way?
Or will Le’wala convince the jury to vote for her? This loose-lipped, strategic and extraverted latina has added a lot of spice to the game. Being the co-ringleader of the majority alliance, Le’wala has a lot to show to the jury. But will they vote for her?
And finally we have Maddison, who maybe had the toughest route to get here. Being on the bottom numerous times, having several rivalries and having an idol played for her, Maddison had to adapt herself to several difficult situations. Could that be the story of a Sole Survivor or will she fall short?
One thing’s for sure — one of these five will win this fifty-fifth season. But who? Let’s find out in the season premiere of Survivor: Luzon!
=== Villaverde ===
After a short night for most of the final five players, Eduardo and Ricky decide to take a swim as Eduardo shares his feelings with Ricky, feeling very betrayed by the duo of Le'wala and Ruben. Ricky says that he saw it coming and feels like Eduardo believed them for too long. Eduardo says he feels disgusted by himself and wished he could turn back time so Faith was still in the game. Ricky says they need to focus on their next move.
 	"How many times have Faith and I warned Eduardo for this? He really wanted Le'wala and Ruben to stay loyal to him but they didn't and I'm not surprised at all. Because of this dumb move, I can wave the million dollars goodbye."
RICKY	"How many times have Faith and I warned Eduardo for this? He really wanted Le'wala and Ruben to stay loyal to him but they didn't and I'm not surprised at all. Because of this dumb move, I can wave the million dollars goodbye."
 	"I keep making mistakes and I deserve to be punished for it. I thought I knew these people and that I was playing a great game but it feels like I went from hundred all the way back to zero. I can't trust my allies, I lost Faith and I am possibly the target for the upcoming vote. I messed it all up and I feel like I have to face the consequences for it."
EDUARDO	"I keep making mistakes and I deserve to be punished for it. I thought I knew these people and that I was playing a great game but it feels like I went from hundred all the way back to zero. I can't trust my allies, I lost Faith and I am possibly the target for the upcoming vote. I messed it all up and I feel like I have to face the consequences for it."
Le'wala and Ruben are feeling amazing as they keep talking about their master move. Ruben says that they pretty much clocked Eduardo now because he only has Ricky. Le'wala tells Ruben not to celebrate too fast since they're still two tribal councils away from the end. Ruben says she's right about that but he's still happy about their win at tribal council tonight.
 	"I feel like I'm invincible now. The path to the end is clear as ice. I only have to eliminate Eduardo and Maddison and then it's done. I just need to play this end-game perfectly so I can win this game easily. I might need to take risks and make some people upset but in the end they will all see why I did this."
RUBEN	"I feel like I'm invincible now. The path to the end is clear as ice. I only have to eliminate Eduardo and Maddison and then it's done. I just need to play this end-game perfectly so I can win this game easily. I might need to take risks and make some people upset but in the end they will all see why I did this."
 	"The fact that we managed to blindside Faith means we got control over this tribe now. We got the numbers, we can go to the end with whoever we want. That last part is what bugs me though. I don't want to battle it out against Eduardo or Maddison because they could be capable of winning the game. I know I can win against Ricky and Ruben. So now I need to find a way to get these two out."
LE'WALA	"The fact that we managed to blindside Faith means we got control over this tribe now. We got the numbers, we can go to the end with whoever we want. That last part is what bugs me though. I don't want to battle it out against Eduardo or Maddison because they could be capable of winning the game. I know I can win against Ricky and Ruben. So now I need to find a way to get these two out."
Eduardo arrives at camp to grab some clothes as he sees Maddison sitting there, who seems to be removing some dirt from behind her finger-nails. Eduardo asks her if he can keep her some company. Maddison says she's fine with that even though she's not really in the mood to talk now. Eduardo says he understands that and only wants to make sure Maddison doesn't take it personal that he tried to get her out. Maddison says she knows it's a game but she appreciates it that Eduardo told her this.
 	"It doesn't cost anything to make someone feel better, right? The least thing I can do is to make people feel good with me and not take anything personal."
EDUARDO	"It doesn't cost anything to make someone feel better, right? The least thing I can do is to make people feel good with me and not take anything personal."
 	"I see what he's doing. He's working on his jury management. I mean, he's doing better than Le'wala, Ricky and Ruben because these three really only care about themselves. But whatever, I'll keep everyone close to me so I can hopefully wipe them out of this game and beat the rest at tribal council."
MADDISON	"I see what he's doing. He's working on his jury management. I mean, he's doing better than Le'wala, Ricky and Ruben because these three really only care about themselves. But whatever, I'll keep everyone close to me so I can hopefully wipe them out of this game and beat the rest at tribal council."
=== Challenge ===
VILLAVERDE
Eduardo, Le'wala, Maddison, Ricky and Ruben arrive at the challenge as Jeff welcomes them. They see a gigantic table with five chairs around it. Jeff says that today they will compete in a brand new challenge named Gamble of Life. Each player will be handed five-hundred fake dollars which is their playing money for the game. They will be playing gambling games until one winner is left standing. Through this games, the players have to bet money to either win more or risk to lose some of their money. After five rounds, the player with the most money left will win the challenge.
 	"Where's the "don't try this at home" advertisement? This challenge is going to be insane. I'm very good at gambling and taking risks and I'm glad that Eduardo and Ricky don't have a advantage for once."
RUBEN	"Where's the "don't try this at home" advertisement? This challenge is going to be insane. I'm very good at gambling and taking risks and I'm glad that Eduardo and Ricky don't have a advantage for once."
Jeff then announces that the winner of this challenge won't visit Comfort Island anymore.
The first game they're playing is Roll The Dice. The players have to make a bet on what number they'll roll. They will get to choose how much money they're going to bet on it. If they're right then they'll double the amount of money they bet. If they're wrong, they will permanently lose the amount of money.
Le'wala and Ruben each bet 100 dollars, Ricky bets 50 dollars and Maddison and Eduardo bet 25 dollars. Ruben, Ricky and Maddison are wrong with their guesses while Le'wala and Eduardo are right which means the current standings are:
Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings
 	 	 	 	
600 	525 	475 	450 	400
 	"Don't ask me to roll in the mud, carry tree trunks or swim behind a ball because that's not my thing. But put me on a table and hand me some money and I turn into a poker goddess."
LE'WALA	"Don't ask me to roll in the mud, carry tree trunks or swim behind a ball because that's not my thing. But put me on a table and hand me some money and I turn into a poker goddess."
The second game the final five are playing is Rock Paper Scissors. Each player gets to pick a opponent to play Rock Paper Scissors with. The same rules apply as the first game. Le'wala, Eduardo, Maddison and Ruben all bet 100 euros while Ricky bets 50 euros. Le'wala challenges Maddison. Le'wala has scissors while Maddison has paper. Eduardo challenges Maddison as well. Eduardo has paper while Maddison has rock. Maddison challenges Eduardo, having rock as Eduardo has scissors. Ruben challenges Eduardo, having scissors but Eduardo has rock. Finally, Ricky challenges Le'wala. He has paper but Le'wala has rock. That means Le'wala, Eduardo and Maddison score while Ruben and Ricky lose.
Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings
 	 	 	 	
700 	625 	575 	400 	300
The third game they're playing is Guess The Color. There are four packages that contain a color inside which can be either red, yellow, green or blue. The player has to guess what color they think is inside of it. Le'wala decides to bet 200 euros, Eduardo and Maddison each bet 50 euros, Ricky bets 100 and Ruben bets 300 euros.
 	"I've got to go all in or else I'm not gonna win. Le'wala is already four points ahead of me. If she wins this round, she could easily win the entire thing."
RUBEN	"I've got to go all in or else I'm not gonna win. Le'wala is already four points ahead of me. If she wins this round, she could easily win the entire thing."
 	"I'm counting the chances on how likely I'll get a postive result. The first challenge was a 1 on 6, the second a 1 on 3 and this one a 1 on 4. This one and the first one were very luck-based while the rock-paper-scissors one was also a bit of a insight and mental game. I'm waiting for my chance to make a higher bet."
EDUARDO	"I'm counting the chances on how likely I'll get a postive result. The first challenge was a 1 on 6, the second a 1 on 3 and this one a 1 on 4. This one and the first one were very luck-based while the rock-paper-scissors one was also a bit of a insight and mental game. I'm waiting for my chance to make a higher bet."
Le'wala gets to choose first as she guesses the package is blue. It's red, which means Le'wala loses 200 dollars. Eduardo's next, choosing red. It's red, which means Eduardo wins 50 dollars. Maddison chooses green, which is green which means Maddison wins 50 dollars as well. Ricky goes for blue, which is yellow which means he loses 100 dollars. Ruben's next, betting 300 dollars on blue. Luckily for him, it's blue which means he earns 300 dollars.
Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings
 	 	 	 	
675 	625 	600 	500 	300
The fourth round is Slots. The players will get the opportunity to press the slots button thrice. If they get three the same images in a row, they will win. It takes some time before everyone makes their bet. Eduardo bets 100, Maddison does so as well. Ruben bets 200, with Le'wala betting 500, going all in. Ricky bets 100 dollar.
Eduardo pushes the buttons first, not being lucky as he loses 100 dollars. Maddison presses the buttons and to her disbelief, she manages to get three matching images in a row, winning 100 dollars. Ruben and Le'wala both win as well, while Ricky loses again. Which means that the standings before the final round are as followed:
Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings	Standings
 	 	 	 	
1000 	800 	725 	575 	200
 	"These are usually not my type of challenges but hey ... I'm not doing too bad, right? And the odd thing is, I'm actually starting to like this a lot."
MADDISON	"These are usually not my type of challenges but hey ... I'm not doing too bad, right? And the odd thing is, I'm actually starting to like this a lot."
It's time for the final game which is Roulette. A ball will be gently pushed into a rotating circle of black and red squares. The players have to make their bet on which color they think the ball will end on. Will it be on red or on black? The players get a few minutes to decide.
 	"If everyone goes all in then Ricky gets 400, Eduardo gets something like 1200, Ruben gets around 1550, Maddison 1600 and I can get 2000. If I bet 650, I will win no matter what. If we all lose, I still win with 350. It feels like this can't go wrong."
LE'WALA	"If everyone goes all in then Ricky gets 400, Eduardo gets something like 1200, Ruben gets around 1550, Maddison 1600 and I can get 2000. If I bet 650, I will win no matter what. If we all lose, I still win with 350. It feels like this can't go wrong."
Le'wala bets 650 dollars. Maddison bets 800 dollars. Ruben bets 725 dollars. Eduardo bets 575 dollars. Ricky bets 200 dollars. That means that everyone except for Le'wala goes all in. It's time to play. Le'wala bets on red and it ends up black, meaning that Le'wala has 350 dollars left. Maddison also bets on red and it ends up black, which means Maddison has 0 dollars left and is officially out of the challenge. Ruben's next, betting on black and it turns red which means Ruben is out of this challenge as well.
 	"I had to take a risk, otherwise I wasn't going to win this challenge anyways. Let's hope Le'wala got it in the bag so we can at least get rid off Eduardo."
RUBEN	"I had to take a risk, otherwise I wasn't going to win this challenge anyways. Let's hope Le'wala got it in the bag so we can at least get rid off Eduardo."
It's Ricky's turn, who decides to bet on red. It's red which means Ricky wins 200 dollars, having a total of 400. Ricky's now in the lead. Finally, we have Eduardo. If Eduardo guesses correctly, he wins 575 and comes on a total of 1150. Eduardo bets on black and it turns out to be ... black! Which means Eduardo wins individual immunity!

The final five arrive back at camp. Ruben and Le'wala head into the woods while Maddison enters the shelter, causing Eduardo and Ricky to stay at camp. Inside the woods, Ruben tells Le'wala it sucks that Eduardo won immunity. Le'wala says she thought she had it but gambling is risky. She then says that she feels like this isn't a huge loss as they can still vote out Ricky. Ruben points out that if they keep Ricky, he could possibly beat Eduardo at the final four challenge. Le'wala says that Ricky and Eduardo wouldn't vote each other out so that means one of them needs to do the fire-making challenge. Ruben says that's the risk they got to take.
 	"I'm close to winning this game. At this point I can't afford making mistakes anymore. I know that I'm playing a dangerous game as I'm sacrificing Maddison for a possible hit at Eduardo next round but hey, playing with fire has become my hobby since playing this game."
RUBEN	"I'm close to winning this game. At this point I can't afford making mistakes anymore. I know that I'm playing a dangerous game as I'm sacrificing Maddison for a possible hit at Eduardo next round but hey, playing with fire has become my hobby since playing this game."
 	"He made a good point. I hate it when he makes a good point because it boosts his ego. If we keep Ricky, he'll be able to beat Eduardo at the final immunity challenge. Eduardo's good at making fire but so am I so we'll see where the ship strands."
LE'WALA	"He made a good point. I hate it when he makes a good point because it boosts his ego. If we keep Ricky, he'll be able to beat Eduardo at the final immunity challenge. Eduardo's good at making fire but so am I so we'll see where the ship strands."
At camp, Eduardo and Ricky are laying in the sun as Ricky feels uncomfortable. He shares this with Eduardo and explains that it's because they're basically depending on what Ruben and Le'wala decide. Eduardo says he shouldn't worry about it as he will talk with Ruben and Le'wala. Ricky tells Eduardo to stop having faith in these two for once. He says that if Eduardo lost immunity today, they would've voted him out with zero mourn. Eduardo shrugs, not really wanting to hear that.
 	"How f***ed up is it to have Le'wala and Ruben determining our destiny in this game. It's ridiculous. There's also no way we work with Maddison because Eduardo wants to spare Le'wala and Ruben. Of course he does, these two are the easiest to beat at the end. Man this is really some f***ed up s**t."

Of course he does, these two are the easiest to beat at the end. Man this is really some f***ed up s**t."
 	"I'm still positive and hopeful for a good result. Le'wala and Ruben are untrustworthy at times and they're responsible for Faith's blindside but then again, they haven't done anything to me yet. I'm naive, I know, but I'm just a person who sticks to their word. I want to avenge Faith and take a shot at the two but if I may sound a little harsh for once, the ultimate payback would be that I win against them at final tribal council."
EDUARDO	"I'm still positive and hopeful for a good result.

I'm naive, I know, but I'm just a person who sticks to their word. I want to avenge Faith and take a shot at the two but if I may sound a little harsh for once, the ultimate payback would be that I win against them at final tribal council."
Le'wala and Ruben arrive back at camp as Maddison approaches them, asking if they're still on board to vote for Ricky tonight. Le'wala remains silent while Ruben says they are and that she shouldn't worry about it. Maddison says she's happy to hear that and decides to walk towards the beach as Ruben and Le'wala share a gaze. At that moment, Eduardo arrives and asks the two if they're down to vote for Maddison. Le'wala now decides to respond and says that they'll vote for her. Eduardo is glad to hear that, however, he's not fully convinced.
 	"I love how Ruben keeps giving people false hope. They'll definitely hate him for doing that, which gives me more room to plead my case and get people to vote for me." (smiles)
LE'WALA	"I love how Ruben keeps giving people false hope. They'll definitely hate him for doing that, which gives me more room to plead my case and get people to vote for me." (smiles)
 	"I've been hanging by a thread for like three rounds now. Every time I keep thinking this is the last time I set foot on this camp and then I get to live another day. It still sucks big time that I'm only here because I'm useful for people's games rather than taking matter in own hands but if it works then it's perfect."
MADDISON	"I've been hanging by a thread for like three rounds now. Every time I keep thinking this is the last time I set foot on this camp and then I get to live another day. It still sucks big time that I'm only here because I'm useful for people's games rather than taking matter in own hands but if it works then it's perfect."
 	"I know that if they say A, they'll do B so I'm expecting Ricky to leave tonight. I will still vote for Maddison, though. I'm glad she and I don't take things personal."
EDUARDO	"I know that if they say A, they'll do B so I'm expecting Ricky to leave tonight. I will still vote for Maddison, though. I'm glad she and I don't take things personal."
 	"People will be shocked, entertained and probably pissed tonight. I'm ready for it, let it start already. I don't think the end-game has ever been more exciting than this season."
RUBEN	"People will be shocked, entertained and probably pissed tonight. I'm ready for it, let it start already. I don't think the end-game has ever been more exciting than this season."
Maddison is packing some stuff as Ricky approaches her, asking her if Ruben and Le'wala told her she's good for tonight's vote as well. Maddison looks confused and says they did indeed. Ricky tells Maddison that Le'wala and Ruben are playing everyone and maybe it's for the best to vote together and get one of them out. Maddison appreciates the try but she feels like she has no other choice but to trust Ruben and Le'wala tonight. Ricky shrugs, at least having tried it.
 	"If I go home because Le'wala and Ruben played me then so be it. If I survive this round, then there's no way anyone would be willing to keep me next round. I gotta take the risk and not jump ship last minute. That might be a mistake but whatever. I literally don't care anymore at this point."
MADDISON	"If I go home because Le'wala and Ruben played me then so be it. If I survive this round, then there's no way anyone would be willing to keep me next round. I gotta take the risk and not jump ship last minute. That might be a mistake but whatever. I literally don't care anymore at this point."
 	"So Maddison and I will be voting for each other. Le'wala and Ruben played this perfectly and that makes my stomach turn. I already see these two evil grins on their face when the votes are being read, which is why I would've loved to blindside one of these two. Maddison decides to stay loyal to them just like Eduardo so yeah, nothing's possible here."

=== Tribal Council ===
Eduardo, Le'wala, Maddison, Ricky and Ruben arrive at tribal council.
The jury then arrives, consisting of Shelly, Elaina, Haneul, Drew, Marissa, Laurie and Faith, voted out last tribal council.
Jeff welcomes the five players and starts his question round with Ricky, asking to describe the past thirty-six days. Ricky answers that it's been a huge rollercoaster that allowed him to learn a lot about himself and about other people. Jeff asks Eduardo how the game has changed since Faith's departure. Eduardo answers that it caused him to see things more clear and made him more aware of his surroundings in this game. Ruben and Le'wala quickly share a gaze. Jeff then asks Le'wala what's the most important factor in the game right now. Le'wala answers that jury management is very important and the ability to stay alive at the final stage of the game. Jeff then asks Maddison what they can expect for tonight's vote. Maddison says that some people are either making a million dollar mistake or expand their chances of winning, but in her case she's probably going for neither as she's not sure who to trust. Finally, Jeff asks Ruben what the voting criteria will be tonight. Ruben answers that it's about who you want to see next to you at the end.
The players vote. Jeff reads the votes.
First vote ...
MADDISON
RICKY
One vote Ricky, one vote Maddison.
MADDISON
Fifteenth person voted out of Survivor: Luzon and the eighth member of the jury ...
MADDISON (4-1)
Maddison nods as she saw this coming, telling Ruben and Le'wala that they played it sneaky but good. She wishes Eduardo goodluck and thanks Ricky for trying to save her. She blows a kiss to the jury, telling them to prepare some champagne for her. She gets her torch snuffed and breaths out some air of relief, leaving tribal council for good.

 	(votes Maddison) "This had to be done. Likely jury threat, rather unpredictable, underdog and uncapable of beating Eduardo at the final immunity challenge. All by all - you got to go."

MADDISON	(votes Ricky) "After getting a hang of gambling due to the challenge, I was like why not continue the trend and bet on the outcome of this tribal? I might have bet wrong and choose the wrong side but this is what I initially planned to do."
=== Final Words ===
 	"There's some sort of relief now. I'm not bitter or angry at all - which I thought I'd be because I just got betrayed like hell. Maybe it's because I anticipated on it. Le'wala and Ruben have betrayed several people throughout the season and I didn't expect them to make an exception for me either. All by all I'm proud of myself. I managed to ignore my personal ego, choose for what's right for me and my alliance and work hard from there. Getting to bond with Marissa after hating on each other was so stereotypical me. All of my best friends are people I thought were horrible people so yeah, nothing new. I see this experience as a joyful expedition and am happy to have made great memories after all. It's been fun, a lot but most of all - enough."

=== Final Immunity Challenge ===
VILLAVERDE
Eduardo, Le'wala, Ricky and Ruben arrive at the final immunity challenge. Jeff welcomes them and congratulates the four of them to their final challenge. Today they'll play the classic final immunity challenge; The Four Orbs. The players are currently standing on a big platform with four bridges. At the end of each bridge is a puzzle that needs to be completed. If you manage to complete your puzzle, you'll get one of the four colored orbs. You need to bring your orb back to this platform. The first person that completes all four puzzles, obtaining all four colored orbs and putting it on their platform here wins final immunity.
 	"This is probably the most important moment of the entire season. I'm sweating a lot because I'm nervous as hell. If only I could win the final immunity challenge ... "
RUBEN	"This is probably the most important moment of the entire season. I'm sweating a lot because I'm nervous as hell. If only I could win the final immunity challenge ... "
The final four all take place and look ready to dominate this challenge.
Survivors ready?
GO!
Eduardo, Le'wala, Ricky and Ruben all head towards the puzzles. It appears that Eduardo, Ricky and Ruben are all heading towards the same puzzle, which causes Le'wala to quickly go for another one. She's the one with the first puzzle piece and continues to run as fast as she can. Eduardo finishes the puzzle as well, followed by Ruben while Ricky is messing up a lot. Le'wala has her second orb and later her third, however, when she runs back, she misses a step on the bridge and falls, causing her orb to drop which means she has to return and re-do the puzzle.
 	"Realize ... that if I didn't slip there, I could've won this challenge maybe. Now I'm so far behind that it's impossible to beat Eduardo or Ruben. I really hope Ruben's able to pull it off now."
LE'WALA	"Realize ... that if I didn't slip there, I could've won this challenge maybe. Now I'm so far behind that it's impossible to beat Eduardo or Ruben. I really hope Ruben's able to pull it off now."
Ricky has two orbs, Le'wala has two orbs and is re-doing the puzzle for her third while Ruben and Eduardo both have gotten their third orb. They both start their puzzle as Eduardo loses focus a bit. Ruben's so nervous that he feels like he's going to throw up, causing both of the men to struggle. However, it's Eduardo who manages to solve the puzzle first. He grabs the orb and carefully runs over the bridge, placing his final orb in the holder which means Eduardo wins the final immunity challenge! Eduardo yells out of excitement while Ruben and Le'wala look like they've seen a ghost.
 	"That was really really scary for one moment. I just didn't see things clear anymore. But I managed to do it! I have made it to final tribal council. Woo-hoo! I didn't expect that at all."
EDUARDO	"That was really really scary for one moment. I just didn't see things clear anymore. But I managed to do it! I have made it to final tribal council. Woo-hoo! I didn't expect that at all."
 	"This is a disaster. This is what I feared. Eduardo basically has four votes in his pocket, Ricky included. Maybe I need to blindside Le'wala to look fierce and get some respect. Or not ... maybe that's not a good idea. Damn, I wish Eduardo lost that challenge. Damned!"
RUBEN	"This is a disaster. This is what I feared. Eduardo basically has four votes in his pocket, Ricky included. Maybe I need to blindside Le'wala to look fierce and get some respect. Or not ... maybe that's not a good idea. Damn, I wish Eduardo lost that challenge. Damned!"

When returning at camp, Le'wala and Ruben are in panic mode. They head into the woods immediately to discuss the situation. Ruben tells Le'wala that they're in big trouble now that Eduardo has won immunity and will be at final tribal council. Le'wala says that there's still a possibility that one of them wins. Le'wala quickly shuts up as she doesn't want to stimulate Ruben too much, causing him to be still in panic while Le'wala is starting to think about a new plan.
 	"Is there still hope? Shelly, Elaina, Haneul, Drew, Marissa, Laurie, Faith, Maddison ... they will all vote for Eduardo. It's basically already set in stone that Eduardo will win this game now. All this work for nothing. For absolutely no-thing."
RUBEN	"Is there still hope? Shelly, Elaina, Haneul, Drew, Marissa, Laurie, Faith, Maddison ... they will all vote for Eduardo. It's basically already set in stone that Eduardo will win this game now. All this work for nothing. For absolutely no-thing."
 	"This is good, this might be even perfect. Ruben feels like we lost and it's Eduardo's game to win now but what if we push Eduardo to the edge and cause him to flop? He didn't play a flawless game and didn't make any move this season. We can definitely play onto that. We just need to give him a gentle push."
LE'WALA	"This is good, this might be even perfect. Ruben feels like we lost and it's Eduardo's game to win now but what if we push Eduardo to the edge and cause him to flop? He didn't play a flawless game and didn't make any move this season. We can definitely play onto that. We just need to give him a gentle push."
Eduardo feels fantastic and sings a few songs as Ricky's a bit bummed as he knows he'll be getting at least two votes against him tonight. Ricky asks Eduardo if he's still keeping his word by saving him. Eduardo says that if he has to choose between him or Le'wala and Ruben, he'll choose for Ricky because he has always been loyal to him. Eduardo then decides to take a swim while Ricky stays at camp, looking slightly concerned.
 	"I know that Eduardo is quite naive and pretty gullible so I won't be surprised if I get voted off unanimously tonight. I think I could win fire against Le'wala and Ruben, but mostly Ruben, which is why I'll be voting for him."
RICKY	"I know that Eduardo is quite naive and pretty gullible so I won't be surprised if I get voted off unanimously tonight. I think I could win fire against Le'wala and Ruben, but mostly Ruben, which is why I'll be voting for him."
 	"It feels surreal to be secured a spot at the end. I hope my loved ones are proud of me. My brother used to steal the fame because his face is daily shown on television but now it feels like I am shining instead. I try to remain positive for tomorrow so I can convince the jury to vote for me to win but it's scary. If it's me, Ricky and Le'wala then I feel comfortable but if it's me, Ruben and Le'wala then I'm afraid I'll have to fight against two pitbulls."
EDUARDO	"It feels surreal to be secured a spot at the end. I hope my loved ones are proud of me. My brother used to steal the fame because his face is daily shown on television but now it feels like I am shining instead.

If it's me, Ricky and Le'wala then I feel comfortable but if it's me, Ruben and Le'wala then I'm afraid I'll have to fight against two pitbulls."
Le'wala and Ruben join Eduardo in the sea as Eduardo looks a bit uncomfortable due to the fact that he's going to vote for Ruben tonight. He stays quiet about this as Le'wala proposes an idea to him. She suggests to vote for Ricky unanimously so they're guaranteed a spot at the final tribal council as three original Solano's. Eduardo says he kind of promised his vote to Ricky. Le'wala says that he'd betray them if he does so as they always worked together. Eduardo says they blindsided Faith which broke his trust and was kind of a betrayal as well. Le'wala responds that their bond to Eduardo was much bigger and stronger than Faith, plus they never went against him. Eduardo blushes and says that Le'wala does have a point there. Ruben starts to grin, slowly gaining hope again.
 	"If Eduardo casts his vote for Ricky, then we've made it to final tribal council plus Eduardo will be seen as untrustworthy and as a follower. If this works then y'all can already book a trip to the Bahamas for me and my family because this biash is gonna be a rich woman!"

 	"I don't know if it's smart to go with these two. I promised Ricky my vote so I will keep it like that. Ruben and Le'wala have indirectly betrayed me by voting out Faith so yeah." (shrugs)
EDUARDO	"I don't know if it's smart to go with these two. I promised Ricky my vote so I will keep it like that. Ruben and Le'wala have indirectly betrayed me by voting out Faith so yeah." (shrugs)
 	"Alright, I have hope again. If this works then damnnnn, we're in for a ride! Eduardo will lose some followers while we will gain more. I just have to make sure Le'wala doesn't claim all moves I made because that'd make me look horrible. Can't let that happen."
RUBEN	"Alright, I have hope again. If this works then damnnnn, we're in for a ride! Eduardo will lose some followers while we will gain more. I just have to make sure Le'wala doesn't claim all moves I made because that'd make me look horrible. Can't let that happen."
=== Tribal Council ===
Eduardo, Le'wala, Ricky and Ruben arrive at tribal council.
The jury then arrives, consisting of Shelly, Elaina, Haneul, Drew, Marissa, Laurie, Faith and Maddison, voted out last tribal council.
Jeff welcomes everyone and congratulates Eduardo on his immunity victory, asking him how it feels to be secured a spot at final tribal council. Eduardo answers that it feels great but also scary because it's such a important evening that if he thinks about it, he starts to sweat already. Jeff then asks Ricky what is required to do in order to survive this tribal council. Ricky laughs and says that in his case it's required to be good at making fire probably. Jeff asks Ruben if he thinks it'll come down to two versus two tonight. Ruben answers that according to his knowledge, it should be an unanimous decision. Ricky looks at Eduardo, who raises his eyebrows. Finally, Jeff asks Le'wala how important this vote is going to be. Le'wala answers that it might be the most important one of all tribal councils.
The players vote. Jeff reads the votes.
First vote ...
RICKY
RUBEN
RICKY
Two votes Ricky, one vote Ruben.
One vote left.
(Ricky strokes his head as he looks very nervous, same for Le'wala and Ruben while Eduardo looks at the ground.)
Sixteenth person voted out of Survivor: Luzon and the ninth and final member of the jury ...
Will be determined by a tie-breaker challenge since this last vote is for Ruben!
Ricky shakes Eduardo's hand as he thanks him while Le'wala and Ruben look pissed towards Eduardo. Jeff explains that Le'wala has made it to final tribal council now, alongside Eduardo. As for Ricky and Ruben, they will be playing a tie-breaker challenge. In all previous seasons this challenge has been the fire-making challenge but from now on, the tie-breaker challenge will be block-stack challenge.
Both Ricky and Ruben need to stack a tower of blocks. There are two ways to win. Be the first one to stack a tower of twenty blocks or have your opponent drop their tower. Ruben and Ricky seem to understand the challenge.
Ready? GO!
Both Ricky and Ruben grab some blocks and are stacking it as they notice that the blocks become smaller and smaller. Ruben has six blocks stacked while Ricky has thirteen. When Ricky places the fourteenth block, he accidentally causes it to move a bit and the full tower drops which means that Ruben has won the tie-breaker challenge and Ricky loses, becoming the ninth and final member of the jury.
Ricky hugs Eduardo and thanks him for his support, grabbing his stuff as his torch gets snuffed. He leaves without saying a word to Le'wala or Ruben. Jeff congratulates the three on making it to final tribal council. Tomorrow they will plead their case to the jury to become the next Sole Survivor and owner of one million dollars.

EDUARDO	(votes Ruben) "I have my morals and I want to keep Ricky over you because I feel like he has been more genuine and loyal to me than you have been this entire game."
=== Final Words ===
 	"Gettin' voted out right before the end is a huge bummer but the way I went out was nice. It's good to know that someone was willing to go to the end with me, even if it was for game reasons. I've learned a lot this season, mostly things about myself. I can get moody and annoyed real quick but when I'm around people I really click with, I become more open, social and happy. I'm glad I signed up for this season even with the toxic moments that occured. It was a fun ride, for sure."

=== Day 39 ===
It's night as Ruben, Le'wala and Eduardo return back at camp. Eduardo says it's ironic that three Solano's made it to the end. Ruben says that if it was for him, they wouldn't be here. Eduardo understands that they're unhappy with his decision but they were the ones who betrayed him during the Faith blindside. Le'wala says that they explained that to him already but now he has made it personal. Eduardo looks confused as he doesn't know why they're so mad at him. Le'wala and Ruben leave as Eduardo stays in the shelter by himself.
 	"They are mad at me. I understand that but come on, they have betrayed so many people and excused themselves with the phrase "that's the game". Well, this is the game as well whether they like it or not!"
EDUARDO	"They are mad at me. I understand that but come on, they have betrayed so many people and excused themselves with the phrase "that's the game". Well, this is the game as well whether they like it or not!"
 	"Eduardo is easy to guilt-trip to we're trying to make him believe he did something terrible and hopefully it influences the way he pleads his case at final tribal council. It's evil but it has to be done."
RUBEN	"Eduardo is easy to guilt-trip to we're trying to make him believe he did something terrible and hopefully it influences the way he pleads his case at final tribal council. It's evil but it has to be done."
The next day, Eduardo, Le'wala and Ruben prepare themselves for the final night as day thirty-nine has hit. Le'wala sits at the beach and speaks to her deceased great grandparents that were rulers. Eduardo sits in the shelter and tries to practice a little for tonight while Ruben takes a long walk through the woods. When the evening hits, the three head onto the boat as they head towards final tribal council.
 	"Good." (takes deep breath) "It is showtime. Finally. I know what to say, what not to say and what to do. I prepared myself for any type of question too. I feel like nothing can go wrong anymore."
RUBEN	"Good." (takes deep breath) "It is showtime. Finally. I know what to say, what not to say and what to do. I prepared myself for any type of question too. I feel like nothing can go wrong anymore."
 	"There have been many times I doubted myself during this game. To be honest - there haven't been much moments I was confident in myself. However, I can now proudly say that I am in fact confident and proud of myself. I'm going into this final tribal council thinking I already won so I hopefully look convincing. I can do this."

 	"On day one I told myself that if I make it to the end, I will do anything to get these people to vote for me and so I will. I played hard since day one all the way to day thirty-nine. It cannot be that I did that for nothing. I've played the game as a champion so it's time to welcome my prize."

=== Final Tribal Council ===
Eduardo, Le'wala and Ruben arrive at tribal council.
The jury then arrives, consisting of Shelly, Elaina, Haneul, Drew, Marissa, Laurie, Faith, Maddison and Ricky, voted out last tribal council.
Jeff welcomes everyone at final tribal council as tonight the jury will vote for the person they think should win the game. Before that, the three finalists will get the opportunity to plead their case to the jury, followed by all jurors getting to speak up one by one to either say or ask something to the jury.
It's time for the finalists to speak up as Eduardo starts, followed by Le'wala and then Ruben.
Eduardo: Dear people, what a ride. It's been a very hectic ride, a ride I didn't think I would or could survive to the very end but I did! I got to admit, I came into this game very blind and ignorant. I didn't understand the game as much as majority of you did but along the way I picked up things and learnt that you could go far by making people feel comfortable with you, a quality I own as a person already. I decided to talk with people on a human-level and build some bridges to eventually become friends with people. I played a loyal game, in some people's eyes maybe a boring and naive game, but what I think matters the most is that I stayed true to myself and those who I cared about. Hopefully this will allow me to win the game.
Le'wala: Why should I win the game? There are a lot of reasons to state. Too many, so I will keep it short, clear and evident. I think no one would disagree when I say I played the game the hardest out of the entire cast. I was in full control over this game and managed to vote out all of my opponents, with the except of Drew's blindside. I had a say in who went home because I nestled myself into conversations and held the upper-hand. In addition, I didn't need immunity or a visit to Comfort Island to secure my safety and yet never received a single vote this entire season. I played hard, took risks, crossed boundaries and I would all do it again if I had to because that's what brought me here and what might cause me to potentially win the game.
Ruben: Hello everyone, it's time to speak out the truth here as I feel like I deserve to win over Le'wala and Eduardo as I was the one who brought up all the ideas and was the driving force behind all of your eliminations, except for Drew's obviously. Le'wala has been kind of delusional this entire game and tried to overshadow me because she felt super close to me. I let her believe that and got her to follow me like a sheep this entire game. Then Eduardo, who never voiced his opinion and did whatever I told him to do. I was the one controlling this game and pulling the strings behind the scenes. I made the decisions here. I was social, strategic but also physical because I came close to winning challenges plus I beat Ricky in the block-stack tie-breaker challenge. Please vote for me to win.
--
Jeff thanks all three for their speeches as Le'wala looks furious towards Ruben, calling him a loser for making that up. It's now time for the jury to speak up, first being Shelly.
Shelly: Didn't I warn everyone for this? Well not just me but Haneul as well. Three Solano's at the end and what's most interesting is that it seems like neither of you three think their opponent deserves the title. I was going in very bland and laid-back because my favorites are on the jury bench. So, what I'd like to ask Le'wala and Eduardo, how do you respond to Ruben's speech?
Le'wala: Oh it's one of his dumb tactics to win over the jury but little does he know it doesn't work anymore. Ruben has betrayed every single person in this cast, which I can get confirmed by several players like Maddison and Laurie. Ruben always lied in people their faces while I just remained silent as I did not want to give people false hope. What trick he pulled here is another example of Ruben's large web of lies that he got himself trapped in.
Eduardo: I don't want to play dirty but there has been a lot of words today and yesterday so the fact that he did this tonight doesn't surprise me.
Ruben: Oh please as if it's not true. Eduardo, did you ever make a move?
Eduardo: I didn't know you could only win the game by making moves. I thought investing in people and their backstories meant more than blindsides and such.
Shelly: I know enough. Thanks.
--
It's Elaina's turn.
Elaina: I don't have any questions but now that I have time to speak, I want to make a statement. I have spend lots of days at the island isolated from others and I was ignored not just by you but also by production. I let them know I didn't feel okay and I was having panic attacks and they did nothing. (starts to cry) This has been such a hard experience for me and I didn't realize it until I was on the jury and heard people experiencing the same. I want to say f*** these people who just let you sit by yourself and leave you becoming depressed. I'm done with this. I'm voting for Eduardo and then I'm going home to never talk about this show again.
It remains silent as everyone's overwhelmed by Elaina's reaction.
--
Haneul follows as she's speaking up next.
Haneul: I think that Shelly and Elaina have summed up a lot of how I feel. Not being heard, treated poorly, the obvious players we warned everyone for making it to the end, very predictable and boring. Ruben and Le'wala, you were indeed in control and were the reason a lot of us were eliminated. I find loyal gameplay more fancy and respectful, however, I won't give my vote away that easily. Eduardo, when thinking about each juror, what is the first word or sentence that comes up to you as you claim you invested in people's backstories.
Eduardo: Fun question. Shelly passion for make-up, Elaina proving herself to be more than a blonde side-girl - which were her own words - you, KPOP simple. Drew I have spoken the least but I'd say his passion for this game, Marissa her victory of Malik Survivor, Laurie his collection of party music and dream to become a DJ, Faith ... a lot but if I have to say one thing then her willpower to be heard and seen, Maddison her favorite tea club is called TeaWitches and Ricky is a well-known face in the UFC world.
--
Drew's next.
Drew: For a dull season, this tribal council is quite spicey. Eduardo, this sounds harsh but this is not the game show for you. You need to be cutthroat and more confident if you want to do well in this game. You're lucky that Le'wala and Ruben pissed off all the jurors otherwise you would've lost this game a hundred percent. Onto the twins Le'wala and Ruben, oh boy oh boy, y'all got a lot to learn. Ruben, talking trash about your opponents make you look like a bitter loser. Le'wala, honestly, no bad word to say about you. Out of the three you're the most convincing. So, to give you a chance to make more people to vote for you, what is the move you're most proud of?
Le'wala: First off, thanks for the nice words Drew. The move I'm most proud of is probably the Faith blindside. Ruben and I threw the challenge to prevent us from winning immunity and being forced to take Faith with us to Comfort Island. When Ricky won, all I had to do was to make sure Maddison was loyal to us. I got Ruben to make Faith believe she'd stay so if she had an idol, she wouldn't play it. It all worked out perfectly and that was the move that allowed me to make it to the end quite easily.
Drew: Cutthroat, no holding-back, you know how to answer these questions gurl! Goodluck.
While Le'wala looks proud, Ruben rolls his eyes.
--
Marissa stands up as she puts her hands on her hips.
Marissa: I know how you three must feel as I have been in your position before, as you all know by now. I respect players who play hard, fierce and have no mercy. If I have to give my vote to someone, I'd like to give it to the player who gave it their all. So to all of you, if you had to give your own game a score between a 1 to 10, what score would you give yourselves?
Le'wala: A solid 8 to be fair.
Eduardo: I'm going with a 7. Still good.
Ruben: Look, I made big moves and apparently Le'wala's claiming them which is dumb. For strategic game I'd easily give myself a 10. Physical game could've been better but was still really good so a 9 and for social game, everyone believed me and trusted me so a 10. Combined I'd be like a 9.5, nearly a 10.
Some jurors look quite irritated with Ruben's response.
--
It's now Laurie's turn.
Laurie: Eh, I have not much to ask honestly. I think you all did play okay, one better than the others in my opinion, and to remain positive and keeping the vibe, I want to ask you all what your favorite song is.
Le'wala: Single Ladies by Beyoncé.
Eduardo: I think something from Toto or Fleetwood Mac. I also like rock. Tough one, but I'm gonna say Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits.
Ruben: Any Rap song. I don't mind. Can't come up with one.
Eduardo: What is yours Laurie?
Laurie: Right now it's Party Rock Anthem!
--
Faith stands up and looks ready to talk.
Faith: Le'wala, Ruben, congratulations on making it to the end. If there's one positive thing to say about you two it's that the fandom is two incredibly strategic players richer. But is strategic per se a good thing? Not always. I'll leave the rest in the middle as I want to focus on Eduardo. Eduardo, when I picked my players I had a strong sense we'd get along because of your body language. When I was around you it felt like you were the coach and I was the student as you have some sort of magic around you where you manage to know what's best for everyone, and are almost always right on that. You bewitched me in a good way and as we discussed together, something has happened between us that we will explore together. Eduardo, even if you don't win, you are the winner for me so best of luck. Also - three Solano's! Proud coach here.
She takes her seat immediately so no one gets to respond.
--
It's now time for Maddison to speak.
Maddison: Good, there's not much to say here anymore. I think it's clear who's the one deserving the money and title while the others are very underwhelming. I want to say one thing though, Le'wala your final tribal council performance is quite impressing which is sad because your actual game has been dreadful. Is there anything you three want to ask me?
Ruben: Is there anything I can do to vote me to win?
Maddison: Giving me the million dollars if you win.
Some jurors laugh while Ruben rolls his eyes.
Maddison: I know who I'm voting for. Goodluck!
--
And finally it's Ricky's turn.
Ricky: I have one question and that's for Eduardo. Eduardo, you were in a spot at the final four where you could've gotten rid off me. You didn't and was this because you really cared for me or was it because you knew you beat any of us easily and you wanted to look trustworthy to the others.
Eduardo: I'm speaking the truth when I say it was really because I felt like I owed you that. You've been a loyal friend to me this game and it didn't felt right to vote you out there. It was a risk and I didn't think I'd easily beat you or Le'wala or Ruben and still don't think so.
Ricky: Alright. If I were in your position, I would've probably voted for you so I'd win very easily so I appreciate it a lot that you chose to keep me.
--
As all jurors have spoken up, Jeff says it's time to cast the votes. The jury has voted and Jeff grabs the urn, telling the group that they will meet again at the reunion and there the winner will be crowned.
=== Reunion ===
We're back in L.A as the entire cast has gathered on stage. Eduardo, Le'wala and Ruben are ready to hear who will be crowned as the Sole Survivor of the 54th season of Survivor. Jeff says it's finally time to reveal the votes. This time, you want to see your name on the parchment.
Jeff reveals the votes.

Two votes Le'wala, two votes Eduardo.
Five votes to go.

The winner of Survivor: Luzon ...
EDUARDO !!!
Eduardo has won Survivor: Luzon in a 7-2-0 vote!
Everyone rushes to Eduardo as he's being hugged by his fellow castmates. Le'wala looks happy for him while Ruben looks bummed at the fact that he received no votes. Jeff says that another season has passed and that the next season is already done filming. He thanks everyone for watching and tells them to get ready for Survivor: London!

=== Final Words ===
 	"Seriously - zero votes?! This is corrupt, really. They will look like idiots when they watch the season back and see how much I influenced the game. I would've been okay by losing against Eduardo with like a one or two vote difference but they seriously voted Le'wala over me? What kind of crap is that. I really think I deserve a second chance and be more recognizable."

 	"I've been over this as I kind of prepared myself for this. Receiving just two votes to win is kind of a smack in the face after all the hard work I put into this game. I think I played a better game than some of these old school legends and still I don't get more than two votes. It's simply ridiculous but whatever, I can't change anything about it. I gave it my all, I played extremely hard and most important of all - I stayed true to myself. To the rulers ... I will forever be grateful to have gotten your support this crazy ride. It's time to let it go and move on."

It's all very surreal and shocking that I won. I won the game and a million dollars. That is crazy. I think right now I hope my loved ones are proud of me and that my brother will see this. Besides that, I want to thank everyone included in this project. It's been a crazy ride but it was very interesting. I'd normally say more but I'm just overwhelmed haha."

=== Author's Notes ===
This season has been the toughest one to write, in terms of being invested and dedicated to the story. During this season I welcomed my puppy Yoshi, experienced some terrible news in real life which has gone better now, had lots of appointments, Eurovision drama that affected a lot of my mood for some time and was challenged with other difficulties. Besides that, I found it hard to write characters that weren't submitted by myself - something I managed to control later on as the season progressed. Looking back at the season, I'm glad I finished it and am proud of the finished product, however, I can say that now this season is finished, it will take at least some weeks before I publish the next season to not cause much gaps between episodes anymore.
