===Day 39===
Monica, Tyson, and Gervase head back to camp. They have to spend one more night at Kasama before they go before the jury.
It's time for Monica, Tyson, and Gervase to go before the jury at the Final Tribal Council. The jury is made up of: Aras, Vytas, Caleb, Katie, Hayden, Laura, Ciera, and Tina.
Gervase is going to plead his case first, "I think I played this game great. I used the best of old school and new school Survivor." He points out that he instigated Aras's elimination.
Monica starts out by "addressing the elephant in the room." She doesn't want people to think that she was dragged along like "a puppy dog on a leash" by Gervase and Tyson. She believes that forming an alliance with Tyson and Gervase was a strategic play on her part.
Tyson says he came into this game knowing he would have a "numero uno target," on his back. He breaks down in tears, and says he did everything because Rachel made a sacrifice to keep him in the game and he didn't want to let her down.
Vytas goes first. He commends Tyson for getting Aras and himself out, but he also reminds him that he promised Tyson if he voted him out he would not get his jury vote. He is not voting for Tyson. He doesn't want to vote for Gervase because he feels he rode on Tyson's coattails. And, he doesn't want to vote for Monica because she stabbed him in the back. He still is unsure who he will vote for tonight.
Next up is Katie, she starts out by congratulating the Final Three. She calls Tyson out for a statement he made to her when they drew rocks, he rubbed her face in the fact that she was headed to the jury. Tyson apologizes profusely for the statement he made.
Caleb is up next, he has a question for Gervase. He wants to know what Gervase thinks his "big game-changing move was?" Gervase thinks that his biggest move was orchestrating Aras's eviction. Caleb asks Monica to tell him something "from her heart" about why he should vote for her. Monica breaks down in tears, and confesses that her entire life is about Brad, and for once she wants to accomplish something on her own.
Ciera is the next jury member to question the Final Three, she has a question for Tyson. She wants to know if Tyson sees himself "as the villain or as the hero." Tyson says that he never intended to be the villain, every move he made was pure strategy. She asks Gervase if he ever planned to vote out Tyson. Gervase confesses that he decided to stick with Tyson until the end because he thinks he could beat him in jury votes.
Laura is up next, and she goes after Monica. She wants to know Monica to be vulnerable and confess an "ugliness about herself." Monica is fired up, she believes "all her ugliness's have been brought out in this game." Monica breaks down in tears.
It's Tina's turn to address the Final Three. She wants them all to describe themselves with one word. Monica says she is "generous." Gervase describes himself as " honorable." Tyson chooses the word "fun-loving" to describe himself.
It is Hayden's turn to address the Final Three. He starts off by asking Tyson where he found the Immunity Idol, because it has been driving him crazy. He then turns his attention to Monica, and accuses her of being "fake," he doesn't think that any one has gotten to know the "real Monica."
Aras is the final juror to question The Final Three. He asks Gervase, "Prove to me you have game-awareness," he wants to know what Gervase thinks got Tyson or Monica to the Final Three. Gervase thinks Tyson deserves it because he had everyone looking for the Immunity Idol, when he had it the entire time. Monica thinks Tyson deserves it as well because he has been a "charging horse for 39 days." It's Tyson's turn. He shocks the jury and announces he thinks Monica should win, over his ally Gervase. He commends her for keeping their alliance hidden so long, and convincing people that she was "on the bottom."
It's time for the jury to vote for who they think deserves the title of "Sole Survivor" and the $1,000,000. The votes have all been cast, it's time for the players to head back to the U.S. to hear the results.
Tyson, Monica, and Gervase are assembled back in the United States for the votes to be read.
The winner of Blood vs. Water and $1,000,000 is Tyson!
