==Story==
===Day 36 (Night)===
After voting the last ex-Sole Survivor out of the game, the final four return to camp knowing that they are just three more days away from knowing which two of them will compete to win the juries votes.
Tonight we stuck to our alliance and everything went exactly like we planned. Abbas went to the jury, and I'm finally sat at the final four with a clear shot at reaching the end. This is how the game was meant to go last time, and I'm happy not to be relieving that same nightmare.	Isaiah
Tonight we stuck to our alliance and everything went exactly like we planned. Abbas went to the jury, and I'm finally sat at the final four with a clear shot at reaching the end. This is how the game was meant to go last time, and I'm happy not to be relieving that same nightmare.	
I have no real care to be friends with any of the three people I'm here with. They're all pleasant enough people, but not the type of friends I'd have. I can't pretend to be their friend now that I've lost Abbas, and I can't think that anything will happen but me being the next person voted out unless I'm able to win immunity tomorrow. Mentally I will be preparing for that now... and just get as much rest tonight. I have no other angle to play.	Mina

===Day 37===
Before the sun has fully risen, Jeff arrives at the Chaboga Mogo camp carrying a basket with him. A half-asleep Isaiah mumbles that he hopes it isn't already time for the final four challenge, but has his fears alleviated as Jeff reveals it is a breakfast feast along with a camera and book to put together a Survivor scrapbook celebrating their place in the final four.
Jeff's got a good-looking face and all... but when you see him approach you always assume the worst. Thankfully, he was just a familiar waiter for us today bringing us breakfast in beach-bed.	Ben

Jeff explains that once done celebrating with their breakfast, they must meet him for the penultimate immunity challenge, in which one of them will win a guaranteed spot in the final three. Jeff leaves the group to their own devices, giving them an opportunity to eat, take photos together and prepare for the challenge.
Each moment you progress in the game there's a different kind of celebration. If you're not the first one out... you celebrate. If you make it to the merge... you celebrate. If you make it to the jury... you celebrate. We're now at the top four and it's amazing to have a chance to eat and just have some fun with three others who you've shared this amazing journey with. You've got to remember though that this isn't the final possible celebration in this game... there's still a final two to reach... so whilst we're all happy, smiling and acting like this is a victory... I'm remembering that this isn't the final victory I want to experience in All-Stars.	Adela

It's crazy to know that all four of us left in this game come from a different season originally, and we entered this thing thirty-seven days ago as complete strangers. Other than seeing each other on TV... we had never really met. Now, we're out here closer than some people are to their families! I feel I've made genuine friends... and I'd like to think that I've really grown through this last month... but I also want to keep on growing.	Isaiah

After eating, Mina takes a moment alone on the beach to gather her thoughts, knowing that she is virtually alone when facing this individual immunity challenge. The other three sit and continue bonding, feeling good about their chances of ultimately beating Mina. The trio discuss the risk of her winning, knowing that it would force them to turn on one another, although both Adela and Isaiah believe they have Ben's complete loyalty going forward.
It's frustrating to know that I'm the only person who feels if they don't win today that they're going home. It reminds me how Holly must've felt last season, and she was able to pull off the win... so I'm hoping some of that good energy and luck will be bestowed upon me by the Survivor gods. Ben, Adela and Isaiah have really controlled this game for too long and in some regard were cocky... so I wouldn't mind bringing them to book today... and be the one person who broke up that threesome.	Mina

The four head off to the immunity challenge, knowing that when they return to camp there will be a clearer idea as to which of the three of them will be moving forward to day thirty-eight, and who will see their All-Stars experience come to an end.
===Immunity Challenge===
Challenge: Obstacle Puzzle Maze
Retrieve eight rungs in numbered order, then use the rungs to build a ladder and climb up to the top of a tower located in the middle of the maze.
Winner: Isaiah
===Chaboga Mogo===
The final four return to camp with Isaiah once again wearing the individual immunity necklace, ensuring that he will have bettered his previous fourth place finish in The Amazon. Isaiah seems in high spirits, as do Ben and Adela, both of whom congratulate him on the win.
I wanna do a victory lap of this whole damn beach, man. I just freaking won the top four challenge and your boy is now taking his ass to the top three. (laughs) I have never been so pumped... ever... ever! It's great for me because again I can say to a jury look at the challenge wins I pulled off, and ultimately I kept Mina from winning which means myself, Ben and Adela stick together and vote her out. Easy, simple, straight-forward.	Isaiah

Alternatively, Mina seems much more sombre, knowing that this loss has likely sealed her fate in the game.
I'm really down on the fact that I couldn't pull off an immunity win today. I had known going into this challenge that it was win or join the jury, and I didn't win... so it looks like I'll be joining the jury. On day thirty-seven again. That's going to be a number I dread seeing... I gave it my all in this game and in no way would I ever resign myself to giving-up. But, I know when to recognise the odds are stacked against me too high, and I will not run around and exert unnecessary energy on trying to persuade people to keep me. Of course if they want... I will speak... if not... that's just how the game finished for me. Being at peace with the end is an important part of any experience, and I do feel at peace with this. I don't have to like it... just be accepting.	Mina

It's devastating seeing Mina with this look on her face knowing that her time out here is over. It's horrible seeing that look on anyone's face... it's what needs to happen though for my game. She's an incredible athlete for her age, the smartest person out here... and she'd win against any of us in that final two. It's hard for her to probably think this way right now, but I hope she knows it's because of how much we respect her... and how highly we think of her, that she needs to leave this game.	Adela

Adela tells the group she's heading down the beach to wash herself off before tribal council, with Isaiah laying down in the shelter to rest after his big immunity win. Ben and Mina both sit by the fire talking about their feelings on making it so far, slowly getting onto a conversation about Mina's place in the game. Mina ensures to talk quietly enough so that Isaiah cannot hear.
Mina is absolutely right when she says that Adela will be much better at the typical endurance-based final immunity challenge than she would be. Now, I still don't know what Adela's intentions are for the end of this game and whether or not she will try to cut me at the very end... if she does then my smartest move would probably be to keep Mina around tonight, and give myself and Isaiah the edge going into the final challenge. Mina is the biggest threat to win though... and that's what we need to weigh up. Is the risk of keeping Mina worth it... or would it be the foolish move of the majority who finally have her in a corner.	Ben

At tribal council, the final four take their seats and note the disappointment on several jurors face that Mina is sat without immunity, namely her closest ally and newest juror Abbas. Jeff asks Mina how she feels about losing the challenge, pointing out that she has been open that she feels at the bottom of the tribe since Abbas went home. She admits to Jeff that she suspects these are her final moments in the game, saying that she has come to terms with it. He asks if she is giving up, which she outright denies, saying if she had her choice it wouldn't be her leaving, but she also recognises when three people are hellbent on sticking together. Mina then goes on to repeat her earlier plea that some of Chapera would do better in a final immunity challenge against her rather than others who are more athletic, which Adela understands is about her. Adela defends herself by reminding everyone the threat level that Mina poses, suggesting that if she is let through tonight and somehow wins the final challenge, then she automatically has become a millionaire. Isaiah and Ben both talk frankly about taking into account arguments given by Mina, which begins to worry Adela, but they also reiterate that no decision will be made hastily without thought.
(vote not shown) This is best for my game at this stage. I hope you understand.	Ben

Mina, you're a kick-ass competitor and one of the best to ever grace this game. I don't think it's me... but lets see if you've somehow wriggled out.	Adela

Adela, I think you've been quite dishonest throughout the game and really squandered a lot of opportunities you could've had to potentially win. A shame.	Mina

Mina smiles sadly, accepting a hug off each member of the final three before taking her torch over to Jeff.
Jeff reminds the final three that tomorrow they will face their final immunity challenge, determining which of them will be guaranteed to move onto the final tribal council and decide who joins them, and who becomes the final member of the jury.

This is now the third time I've been voted out of Survivor, so at least I can say when I get back home that I have set a record somewhere (laughs). Seeing my game come to a 'close' three-times... it's easier to deal with each time. Of course I'm heartbroken to have not got further, but I can't have regrets when I gave all I could. I'm incredibly proud of the game I played both times, and not many people could do this back to back like I just did. There's no sour grapes on my side, and I'm all smiles!	Mina

===Day 38===
All three sit up to watch the sunrise, with the apprehension of the final immunity challenge preventing them from sleeping. The trio talk through their time in the game together, clearly excited to have managed to stay together as an alliance for almost the entirety of the thirty-eight days they've been in the game.
Mina went home last night and now this is really it. We got three Chapera to the top, and there's one more challenge. Ben and I have been together since the start and we always said we're being loyal, so I know he or I gotta win today. Adela is a great girl and she's been a solid ally... I had my doubts but you know she proved me wrong and I owe her mad respect. But when it comes down to it she ain't got that bond that Ben and I had... so she's gotta get cut at this last tribal.	Isaiah

Jeff arrives once again at camp, informing the final three that they will be taking on a Rites of Passage to pay tribute to those who fell before them in the game. The trio are also supplied with paint to decorate themselves, giving them an opportunity to have some fun before the daunting final immunity challenge takes place.
It's such a bizarre moment when there's just three of you left and you're standing around painting whiskers on your face or glasses and sleeves up your arm, looking like a kids party gone wrong. We're heading to this final immunity challenge that the whole season has been building up to, and for all of us today's win or loss will determine whether or not you're winning a million dollars at the end of this. It's a nice reminder that there were fifteen others who wanted the title, and that they weren't able to get it... and you're now here in the last three! It gives you bragging rights for sure, but also a sense of... humility. Especially when you've been on the other end of the Rites of Passage before, which all three of us have.	Ben

The final three begin their walk to the final immunity challenge, entering a path decorated by the torches of their fallen comrades. The trail begins with Lotus' torch, ending with the last individual to be eliminated from the game; Mina. The final three are encouraged to give any thoughts of views they may have in paying mind to those who left the game before them.
The trio continue on the walk, slowly coming towards the midway point of the game in terms of who left.
There's a weird sense of guilt you get in each name you pass, knowing that in being here you must've had a hand in ruining these people's dreams in reaching the end. Of course, to not do that would mean your torch is amongst this line-up. But, I'm human and I feel emotions like this... that's the thing about Survivor that's so cruel. We're forced to live together all day for weeks on end and endure the toughest moments physically and mentally... and in those moments you learn about people's most intricate thoughts and stories... and then you've got to cut their throat to advance. It's twisted... and I'm surprised we don't all have the worst PTSD because of this game (laughs)	Adela

Fifteen people, all leaving this game before you did. All made some mistakes that led to their exit... or just couldn't do it physically... and you're now here going to the last challenge with a one in three shot. I know whatever it is I've got to make sure I win today. I've had a huge journey in coming back to this game and have tried calling the shots and making sure what I wanted to happen would... to lose control of the game in the last tribal council would be devastating.	Ben

===Immunity Challenge===
The final three arrive at a small man-made pond with three sets of uneven stumps centred by the immunity idol. Jeff explains that they must each stand on the stumps with one hand on the idol, and that the last person left in this position will earn themselves a spot in the final two, and determine who out of their fellow tribe members will be joining them. Each three take their position, wishing one another luck as the challenge begins. The first hour passes, and slowly all three begin to look worn out by the intense heat the day brings.
Another hour and forty minutes pass, and all three stand with bowed heads, looking exhausted as thirty-eight days of Survivor have taken their toll on their mental and physical strength. Without thinking, Isaiah lifts his free arm and starts doing circular movements, momentarily resting it on top of the idol, breaking the rules due to only being allowed the one arm on the idol for the challenge.
As time goes on, Adela and Ben continue talking, much to Isaiah's concern, knowing that his fate in the game is totally out of his hands. Jeff asks Adela and Ben if they're making a deal, which Adela doesn't deny. Ben however claims he'd rather fight it out, saying that whoever wins the challenge has "extra bragging rights" in front of the jury. After the four hour mark, Adela begins complaining of cramp in her calf muscle gently twisting her leg whilst making sure to keep it on the surface of the stump. However, she moves awkwardly and loses her footing due to the pain, using her second arm to grab the idol, thus ending her chances at immunity. Jeff declares Ben the winner, much to his joy, knowing he will now be attending the final tribal council.
===Chaboga Mogo===
The final three return to camp with Ben wearing individual immunity, guaranteeing him the first of two spots at the final tribal council. Both Adela and Isaiah congratulate Ben, seemingly genuinely pleased for him.
I won the last immunity challenge. My first ever immunity win and it couldn't have come at a better moment for me. I really... I never could've imagined that this would turn out this way. I want to celebrate, but first I've got to work out who's coming with me... Adela or Isaiah... and having power isn't always a blessing. I know both expect me to take them to the end, so somebody's trust and maybe even respect for me is being diminished once we hit tribal council.	Ben

Firstly, Ben goes off with Isaiah down the beach, leaving Adela on her own to wait her turn to speak.
First up is Isaiah, and he's an incredibly emotional player. I have to essentially tell Isaiah whatever he wants to hear which is that he's safe. I think that would be a good thing to do, because I can't imagine Isaiah getting enough votes to win this game. I've got to just put his worries at ease, and if anything changes wait until the last minute before I give him the pink slip of the alliance.	Ben

I wanted to give Ben a big old hug after our chat on the beach. You know you always have some doubts, but knowing he's got my back I feel good and I really think I'm in the top two with him. We stuck together this whole game, and Adela can try making all the bonds she wants... fact is she doesn't have the same strength relationship that Ben and I achieved in this game.	Isaiah

Ben then returns to camp alone to speak with Adela, giving her an opportunity to pitch her case as to why she should stay in the game.
The fact Ben is having potential second thoughts on our final two deal is really worrying. I think it says a lot about his confidence that he'd rather go to the end with Isaiah who he thinks played a weaker game, just because he's concerned somehow I could beat him. Really, I think Ben is going to get a lot of credit of the jury. My hope is that sitting next to him, I too can get credit and maybe come off more relatable and less... arrogant, which is Ben's biggest flaw. Enough people might feel rubbed the wrong way by Ben that I could beat him. I just hope Ben doesn't think too much about that, and decides to show an ounce of loyalty to at least one person in this game. Because if he doesn't... I think he's going to look even more like an ass to people.	Adela

As the afternoon goes on, it becomes clear to Ben that both Adela and Isaiah have the expectation that they will be joining him at the final tribal council, forcing him to go back and forth on which of them he'll be voting out.
This decision is one that I really can't live to regret in any way. I keep thinking Isaiah will be this easy win, but I've got to remember that after the merge... Isaiah really had good relationships with a lot of people on the jury. He's got an actual friend in Sheamus on the jury! He's not this easy win like I initially thought... and I think his story might actually pull at some of their heartstrings weirdly. Adela... she's probably pissed more people off than Isaiah has. I know Abbas and Mina both felt burned by her, and that could work to my advantage. She's got no real friends on the jury... but, I feel like as a competitor she's played a stronger game than Isaiah. There's no clear answer as to which of them should come with me, and I know whoever I vote out is feeling burned. And if they're burned badly enough that's already one of four critical jury votes lost... winning the final immunity might not have been all that.	Ben

At tribal council, Jeff asks Ben how it feels to have won the final immunity challenge. He admits that winning is his greatest achievement in the game, as it's given him total control of what he feels is the most critical vote of the game. He goes on to say that whilst enjoyable, he has found it difficult after receiving compelling arguments from both Isaiah and Adela as to why they should stay in the game. Jeff asks what in particular makes it so difficult, which Ben says is the expectations the others have on being taken to the end. Adela speaks up saying that she has an expectation because she and Ben had made a deal to go to the final tribal council together, stunning Isaiah.
Teddy on the jury is seen smiling and leaning into Danni to whisper "he played them both", which she responds to by laughing.
Jeff asks the group if after that they're ready to get to the vote, but then offers Adela and Isaiah one last moment to give their plea as to why they should be kept in the game.
Ben goes up to vote and hesitates before writing down a name, with no confessional shown in order to keep the vote a secret. Jeff brings back the urn once Ben has taken his seat, leaving a still stunned Isaiah and Adela waiting to see which of them has faced the ultimate betrayal from Ben.
Adela leaves the tribal council area without looking back at Ben or Isaiah, clearly annoyed by the decision to oust her from the game. Jeff congratulates both Ben and Isaiah on reaching the end, informing them that they have one more sleep before facing the jury of seven, who will determine which of them is worthy enough to become the sole surviving All-Star.

I can't deny how mad I am with this decision. Ben acted like he came here to grow as a person and earn the respect he thought he didn't get in Borneo. Instead, he just showed himself to be a bigger fool than anyone originally thought. I can't really respect him for this decision when he's been told he could've won no matter who he went up against... but he's a coward so he picks the easy win. Well, I'll make sure it's not easy...

===Day 39===
Ben and Isaiah relax together on the beach, enjoying what will be their last day playing in the Pearl Islands. The two of them begin talking about their journey to get to the end, relieved to have made it so far without being voted out, and ultimately going as far as they possibly can in the game.
Coming into the game this time I knew I didn't want to relive the same moments that ruined my experience at the end of The Amazon. I felt played and I never got over it, and I think I had some of that anger built up inside me still even when I hit the beach this time. (he tears up) You know, I regret some of the stuff I've said and done over the last two times I've played, and I can't take some of those things back. I just want to be a better man... and take everything I can get from Survivor even if it isn't a million dollars. I hope that people can see how this experience has changed me, and given me growth I couldn't have got anywhere else. I've got what I hope is a friend for life in Ben... and if that's one of the only things I gain this time then so be it. I'm proud of how I played, and I'm proud of how far I made it. That's all I can do... the rest is now in the hand of the jury.	Isaiah

That's all I can do... the rest is now in the hand of the jury.	
Both boys begin to gather their things as the sun starts to set, taking one last stroll around their camp to get a final look at what was their home for the latter half of the game.
I definitely had a sense that there was a lot I needed to prove this time in the game. I left before making the jury last time I played, and it was clear to everyone how hard that hit me. I doubted myself as a player... as a person... and All-Stars gave me that rare opportunity to right those wrongs and find the self-worth I had denied myself internally for years. Playing Survivor is the most complex experience I ever wish to have in life, and I think watching it will never convey what it's truly like to be here for the players. I might be judged as deceptive or this bad guy... but, when you truly step back and look... everyone does the same thing in this game, just to different degrees and with different levels of success. I happened to be successful at it this time, and maybe that makes me look like the biggest liar of the bunch. I hope facing the jury that I'm given a chance to really explain my game, and have them see that despite the lies... any hurt feelings... or whatever... that I truly do deserve to be the Sole Survivor. I want to be the brightest All-Star of the bunch and take this time to shine (laughs). Isaiah is a close friend... but he's still my competition and this game is still very much active, and I'll keep that at the forefront of my mind until all seven jury votes have been put in that urn.	Ben

Both men take their torches and head out of the Chaboga Mogo camp, leaving the structure standing as a ghostly reminder of the game that took place on the isolated beach in the Pacific Ocean.
===Final Tribal Council===
Ben and Isaiah take their spots at tribal council, looking over as the seven members of the jury enter and take their spots opposite them. Both men try to keep positive reactions when facing the jury, but slowly become more nervous as they spot stern glares coming from certain members. Jeff explains that as usual both the final two will give an opening statement, which will be followed by questions or statements from the jurors. Once each juror has had an opportunity to speak, they will cast their vote for either Ben or Isaiah to become the eighth Sole Survivor.

William is selected to begin the voting, walking up to the All-Stars urn for the final time to cast his vote for either Ben or Isaiah.
(voting for Isaiah) I think you are more honest about what kind of man you are, and I hope you use this money for good.	William
(voting for Isaiah) I think you are more honest about what kind of man you are, and I hope you use this money for good.	
Ben, you played one hell of a game kid. I'm glad I got to be apart of your story both times and watch you manifest into this ice-warrior. Run with it.	Teddy

Isaiah, in The Amazon you and I had a friendship that lasted outside the game. Before coming here we spoke about never writing down one another's names and swore on it... (turns vote to reveal 'Ben') I kept to my word.	Sheamus

(voting for Isaiah) When it comes down to it, your self-awareness was better than the gentleman sitting next to you. I also think the money would change your life for the better. Good job.	Mina

(voting for Ben) I just want to say ha-ha at being able to write your name down finally. I've been dying to do this all season. Can't say it was under these circumstances though. You played a great game, and there's no bad feelings from me on it. It's a game, you played the best... it's that simple. Some people need to definitely learn this lesson, especially on their second time playing.	Danni

After Abbas sits down, Jeff goes to collect the urn, telling the group that they will find out the results when back in the United States. Jeff leaves the tribal council area, exiting the Panamanian jungle into a grassy clearing where he boards a Panamanian military helicopter bound for Madison Square Gardens, New York.
===Reunion===
Jeff enters the live studio, standing in front of a suited Ben and Isaiah, alongside the seven members of the jury. Both men admit to being nervous after seeing how close the vote was on the reel. Jeff lifts the lid of the urn, ready to reveal the results of the final vote of the season.
The audience cheer for Ben as he shakes Isaiah's hand before running down to his mother Sandra in the audience. Ben cries as he hugs his mother, before all seventeen other 'All-Stars' are present on the stage. Some are shown to be clapping for Ben, whilst others concentrate on giving commiserations to Isaiah.

===Reunion Notes===
* Ben speaks about his extreme happiness at winning the game, spending some time talking through how all his previous worries and negative feelings after Borneo were completely ridden thanks to his All-Stars experience. Jeff asks Ben about the harsh criticism he received from players and those watching that his manipulation and deceitful behaviour was that of somebody with a personality disorder. Ben laughs off the criticism, saying people occasionally can go too far, when the reality is just he's a "TV villain". Teddy (who is sat directly behind Ben) interjects to confirm that his "sociopathic" remark was said in jest, before going on a verbal defence of Ben's character and morality outside the game. 
* Jeff asks Ben about the state of his friendships with certain people in the game, namely Isaiah and Adela, both of whom seemed to have been hurt and surprised to uncover his true game-play in the final few days of the game. Ben confirms that whilst he and Isaiah have spoken, there sadly hasn't been effort from Isaiah made to maintain a friendship. Isaiah responds to this by saying that he feels duped by Ben, and upon watching the season struggles to see much of his behaviour as genuine. Adela too sides with Isaiah, ultimately feeling that Ben had prioritised winning, congratulating it on being his "only achievement" in All-Stars, which receives a mixed response from the audience.
* On a lighter note, the friendship between Abbas and Mina is shown to have survived. Both explain that despite living far apart and having busy lives, they make an effort to speak at least once a week. Jeff asks the pair why they voted differently in the final tribal council. Abbas explains for him it came down to who played a better game and who answered questions better, feeling as though Ben had more to show at the end of the season. Surprisingly, Mina says she regrets her decision to vote for Isaiah to win, feeling as though whilst she felt closer to him as an individual on the island, she felt upon seeing his controversy with Neasa and Holly that he hadn't grown like he claimed in his final tribal council speech. Jeff promises to get onto the controversy in due course.
* The Saboga alliance of Danni, Teddy and William receive a roaring cheer from the audience, with Teddy jokingly referring to them as the fallen angels. The trio admit to all still being in touch, with Danni and Teddy saying they both have spoken to Ben after the season. Danni in particular says they've put the Borneo drama behind them, and that she's thrilled to see he "deservedly" won the title of Sole Survivor. William goes against the grain by maintaining his support for Isaiah, saying that he has a good soul and that there needs to be some forgiveness so that people can heal from the experience. The audience give a mixed (albeit more positive) reaction to this, although both Lotus, Daisy Neasa and Holly are seen shaking their heads as William speaks. Holly somewhat interrupts him by saying "it's not (your) place" to comment. Teddy then speaks up again by saying that whilst it is a game and people must learn to get over impersonal things such as betrayal, a conversation needs to be had about certain things that occurred between the season. 
* On the topic of friendships, Jeff asks Sheamus about his relationship with Isaiah following the season, noting that Sheamus' disappointment in Isaiah voting for him is what ultimately helped push Ben to a win. Sheamus says he and Isaiah have reconciled after the season, but says more work needs to be done in order to fully mend their friendship. He goes on to say that regardless of his decision in the moment, he thinks it was for the best as Ben was the most worthy winner.
* Jeff then brings the conversation onto the drama between Neasa and Isaiah (and to some degree Holly), which caused a lot of controversy around topics of bullying. Isaiah is given an opportunity to speak, saying that upon seeing the footage back he feels genuinely bad for what occurred, and that he had tried to reach out to Neasa to formally apologise but received no response. Neasa talks next by saying that she feels Isaiah's apology is disingenuous, as it was only after backlash that he sought to apologise to "save face", and that she feels if there was no response to his actions by the audience that he'd stand by them. Neasa however causes some awkwardness by then saying that she doesn't hold Isaiah fully responsible, as production put them together so thinks "the show got exactly what it wanted at my expense". Holly confirms that she has received nothing off Isaiah in terms of an apology, but says that whilst she wasn't the main victim of his tirades that ultimately she wouldn't be interested in one anyway.
* Michael talks about his parasitic infection that caused him to exit the game, saying that it was undoubtedly the worst pain he's ever endured, and that it's speculated he could have even got the parasite during his first time playing. He says he feels somewhat complete on his Survivor experience despite the evacuation, and thanks the show for allowing him to return.
* Jeff asks some of the pre-merge boots how they feel about their experience in hindsight. Lotus admits that she's still crushed to have been sent home first and feels it was unwarranted. She does however say she got some joy in seeing the person who "cost her the game" get voted out before the merge. Jeff then goes to said individual and asks Delma how she feels in hindsight. She says she doesn't regret her decision to oust Lotus as it wasn't her downfall, but instead jokingly says it was thanks to the "traitors" Abbas and Mina. She points out that Mogo Mogo foolishly turned on itself, and says it was probably "the stupid tribe". Reniero confirms this, and says Mogo Mogo lost the game when they pointlessly voted him out instead of Danni, saying that Abbas and Mina aren't as good players as they are made out to be. 
* Daisy and Salma are asked about their interactions following the latter being a reason why the all-winners alliance on Saboga failed. Daisy says she doesn't hold any grudges, but still thinks Salma's decision was "idiotic". Salma defends her decision saying that she thought if three winners worked together they'd never be allowed to get through a merge scenario, and so wanted to integrate more with Michael, William and Danni, but didn't count on being turned on so quickly. Carlson jokes that the pre-jury time was "heavenly" as he got to spend time with a group of women until Reniero turned up (as Michael came later due to spending fourteen days in hospital). Daisy also confirms that she has become engaged to her boyfriend, something she briefly spoke about wanting during the season. 
* Jeff also confirms that Adela did indeed get married to her boyfriend Josh, but says she's struggled to enjoy the married life due to the "endless hate" she has gotten off fans. She becomes emotional talking about verbal abuse and written abuse she's received as a result of her time on All-Stars. She is comforted by Mina and Isaiah either side of her, who say that they do feel at times fan-mob mentality can become too much. Jeff says nobody should condone such behaviour, and says he truly hopes Adela is able to find positives from her time in the game, calling her one of the strongest players they've had, which receives applause off a majority of the cast (including Ben).
* Ben is informed that he has been gifted a truck by Chevrolet for winning the season, which he can either keep for himself or gift to another cast member of his choosing. He announces he will gift the truck on, wanting to thank somebody who "made (his) dream of a win possible". before tossing the keys over to Danni, which receives cheers from the audience and a loud laugh off Teddy.
* Jeff closes off the reunion by announcing that there will be a further special spin-off episode to the season titled America's Tribal Council. He says for the first time, America will vote on favourite moments and contestants from Survivor history, and ultimately will reward one of the eighteen All-Stars with a life-changing second $1,000,000 prize.
