Anything Could Happen is the season finale of .
==Story==
===Night 36===
The Yin Yang tribe returns to camp, and Parvati Shallow tries to get Russell Hantz to admit that Sandra Diaz-Twine made a good play at the previous Tribal Council with her Hidden Immunity Idol. Russell tells Sandra that it was a bad play and argues with Sandra about the idol.
Russell then accuses Parvati of knowing about Sandra's idol beforehand and lying to him. Parvati insists she didn't know about it. Russell doesn't believe her and storms off.
Russell talks with Jerri Manthey and Colby Donaldson and tells them that Parvati is lying out of her teeth and needs to be the next to go. After Russell leaves, Jerri tells Colby she has wanted Parvati out since the beginning of the game because she is such a threat. Colby rejoices that the Villains are all fighting with each other once again.
===Day 37===
The following day, Parvati reads Tree Mail revealing the next Immunity Challenge to be a challenge about stacking dishes, which she recognizes from . Russell plans to vote out Colby if he doesn't win immunity, but if he does, Russell plans on voting out Parvati and take Jerri and Sandra to the finals with him.
The tribe goes to compete at the challenge, and it comes down to Parvati and Colby, each with seventeen dishes stacked up. Colby's stack falls, and Parvati wins individual immunity over a visibly upset Colby.
When the tribe returns to camp, Colby announces to the tribe that he made a play at the previous vote to break up the Villains that failed, and then tried to win immunity and didn't succeed, so now he is surrendering to the will of the Villains, and he receives a hug from everybody. In reality however, Colby's surrender speech is his last chance strategic play.
Colby goes and talks with Russell around the campfire about the possibility of voting for Sandra so that the three other people; Russell, Jerri, and himself, have a better chance of beating Parvati in the final challenge. Colby tells Russell that Parvati will get all the jury votes.
At Tribal Council, Colby talks about his performance in the season compared to his other ones. Colby tells everyone this game has been the toughest on him and his journey to this point has also been the most difficult, being disappointed with his lackluster challenge performance. The tribe talks about trust, and everyone agrees you cannot fully trust anybody in the game. At the vote, Russell and Jerri decide to stick with the Villains and Colby is voted out 4-1, making him the last Hero to be eliminated from the game. Before Colby departs, he receives a hug from Jerri.
When the Villains return to camp, they talk about seeing Rupert Boneham on the jury looking as though he were a crazy person. Sandra says she has no regrets voting out Rupert and Colby because both wrote her name down, and Colby twice. Parvati worries about what Colby said during Tribal Council about her.
===Day 38===
Russell and Jerri talk about how they need to win immunity to prevent Parvati from winning. Russell tells Jerri that if Parvati is able to win immunity, that she will win the game at the Final Tribal Council.
Parvati returns to camp with Tree Mail, saying they will go through the Rites of Passage, recognizing their fallen comrades in the game before going to the Final Immunity Challenge. During the Rites of Passage, the previously eliminated castaways reminisce on their time in the game.
After completing the Rites of Passage, the final four go to compete in the Final Immunity Challenge. The challenge is a close three-way competition between Jerri, Russell, and Parvati. Ultimately, Russell exits the maze and takes the individual Immunity Necklace just a second before Jerri and right ahead of Parvati.
The final four return to camp and talk about the challenge. Jerri hopes to go though with her plan with Russell and blindside Parvati so she can go to the final three.
Russell takes a walk with Sandra and tells her that she's sitting in a very good spot. Sandra is confused by what Russell means and tells him that she is in the same spot as Parvati, but Russell tells her that she's going to be in his final three plan no matter what, he tells Sandra that he is being honest with her because he thinks he can beat her for the million. Sandra, knowing that Russell has angered most of the jury, pretends to agree that Russell can beat her and says she's fine with earning the runner-up prize money of $100,000.
Jerri, Russell, and Sandra talk around the shelter and Jerri asks them if they are still solid together to vote out Parvati. Russell confirms his allegiance to the final three of himself, Sandra, and Jerri. Later, when Parvati comes back into camp from gathering coconuts, she takes Russell and they go on a walk down the beach. Russell tells Parvati he wants Sandra in the final three and to eliminate Jerri. Parvati tries to tell Russell to reconsider his decision, telling him that Sandra would instantly get Amanda Kimmel, Candice Woodcock, and Courtney Yates' votes for the million. Russell disagrees with Parvati and insists that they send Jerri to the jury, partly because he feels like she will vote for him.
Walking together in the jungle, Russell tells Parvati his best strategic move would be to get rid of her and bring Jerri and Sandra to the finals. Parvati again tells Russell that Sandra would win.
The final four arrive at Tribal Council. Jerri and Sandra talk about what they did when they came back from the Immunity Challenge. Sandra mentions that Russell told her that she cannot win. Jerri and Parvati make pitches to Russell for them to stay in the game. The final four go to vote, and Russell decides to vote out Jerri, sending her to the jury as its ninth and final member.
===Day 39===
Returning from Tribal Council, the final three celebrate having made it all the way to the end of the game. Sandra worries about her kids back home and her husband out in Afghanistan. The final three get their feast in Tree Mail and enjoy it back at camp.
Laying down together on the ground after eating their feast, Russell asks Parvati if he had sent her to the jury who she would have voted for. Parvati says she would have voted for Sandra, just like she said she would the previous day. Russell tells her that he would have voted for her and asks her again who she would have voted for. Parvati tells Russell that she still would have voted for Sandra, and this causes Russell to get upset with Parvati. Russell tells Parvati that her game was just like his, but that his was just a little stronger. Parvati responds and tells Russell her game was nothing like Russell's. Russell tells her that he will be laying it all out at the Final Tribal Council, and Parvati tells him to go ahead.
Russell gets up and leaves, and Parvati and Sandra laugh to each other about what will happen at Final Tribal Council. Sandra says Russell is going to get destroyed at the Final Tribal Council, and the two of them laugh some more. Sandra then suggests she go over and burn Russell's hat so he could take his "bald-headed ass" to the Tribal Council. After Parvati promises not to tell Russell, Sandra gets up and takes Russell's hat and tosses it into the fire with Parvati bursting into laughter. She then goes back to lay down, joking about burning his sneakers as well.
Russell returns to camp and asks the two girls where his hat went, but they lie and say they didn't know where his hat was. Russell searches around camp unable to find it, and he angrily declares he won't be leaving without it. However, unable to find it and with the Final Tribal Council approaching, he decides to give up the search and the final three ceremoniously burn down the shelter.
The final three arrive at the Tribal Council to plead their case as to why they deserve the million dollars and the title of Sole Survivor. The jury consisting of Coach Wade, Courtney, J.T. Thomas, Amanda, Candice, Danielle DiLorenzo, Rupert, Colby, and Jerri enter Tribal Council and opening statements begin.
Sandra gives her opening statement first. She says she was sole surviving ever since her alliance on the Villains side was taken out. She tried three separate times to get the Heroes to get rid of Russell, and that she played the game in a way to guarantee that when she came into Tribal Council with her torch lit, that it was still lit when they left.
Russell gives his opening statement next. Russell says that luck played no part at all in his game and that he played the game very hard. He questions why that whenever he comes into Tribal Council, the jury looks at him as though he did something wrong, saying that all he did was play hard and that he didn't mean to offend anybody.
Parvati is last to give her opening statement. Parvati says that she started the game with a large target on her back, and that she needed to get a line of defense to keep herself in the game, telling the jury that Russell was her 'dragon' that she kept as a pet instead of slaying him. Parvati tells the jury she feels like she played the ultimate social, strategic, and physical game.
Questioning from the jury begins with Colby. Colby questions Russell's statement saying that he got to the final three with no luck involved. Colby calls Russell delusional for believing he could get to the end with no luck. Colby asks Parvati how she was more strategic than the other two.
Coach is next up, and he calls Parvati a charmer and manipulator, Russell a schemer and liar, and Sandra a coattail rider. Coach calls Russell a little man in both stature and character, telling him that if he had been humbled coming into Final Tribal Council, telling the jury that he crossed the line, that he might be one of the strongest in the game. Coach tells Sandra he wanted to play with strength in the game and that she was not strong in challenges and he wishes to have been there in her stead. Coach then turns to Parvati and tells her that he was impressed by Parvati, expecting her to be weak in challenges, but she surprised him by being very strong. Coach says the day he first trusted Parvati was the day she voted him out. He says that he came into Tribal Council with an open mind and that he will be seriously listening to the final three's responses.
Amanda is the next up, and she asks Sandra how her strategy was better than the other two. Sandra says she wished her strategy was better, saying it would have been better if Russell was out of the game had her planned worked. Sandra voices her frustration because the Heroes kept turning around on her and running back to Russell, foiling her plans.
Courtney goes up and compliments both Parvati and Sandra. She says Sandra was very loyal and that quality is an underestimated part of the game, letting Sandra explain her loyalty to her original alliance on the Villains.
J.T. steps up next, and he asks Russell whether he considered the jury votes while he was playing the game. J.T. says getting to the end is only half of the game, and that the other half is getting the jury to vote for you. Russell tells J.T. he expects the jury to respect his gameplay. J.T. asks Parvati and Sandra to explain their own game. Parvati tells him that she's physically stronger in challenges than Sandra and been trying hard to survive. Sandra agrees that she's not physically strong, but that she uses her wits instead. She even added that if she known that J.T. has given the idol to Russell and intercept it she would throw it right back to him, which Parvati quickly agrees with her.
Danielle offers congratulations to the final three, but calls out Russell for his lack of skill in jury management. She asks Russell if after hearing some of the jury's responses to him whether he would change anything in his game. Russell says he would still not change anything. Danielle asks him again if he would change anything, telling him that nobody respects the way he went through playing the game, but Russell again says he wouldn't change anything and he regrets nothing. Danielle tells him that it's too bad and sits down.
Jerri is next, and tells the final three she is undecided who to vote for. Jerri asks Russell how the plans changed from voting out Parvati at the final four, to voting her out. Russell tells Jerri that she would have won if he took her. Parvati interjects and tells Jerri that Russell really voted her out so he could get her jury vote. Jerri tells the finalists to make no assumptions.
Candice talks next, and she tells Russell he went too far with the lies he said in the game, lying unnecessarily and being mean spirited in his lies. Candice calls Parvati out, saying she was under Russell's thumb the entire game. Candice says she will be basing her vote based on who treated other people decently.
Rupert is the last to question the finalists. Rupert tells Russell that to be honest in the game is difficult, but that being a lying manipulator is very easy, and that Russell took the easy way out, telling Russell he should not be proud of the game he played. Rupert tells Sandra that he feels bad about his own game he's been swayed a lot after listening to her answers from the jury. He even mention that Sandra kept 'opening the door for them' to get rid of Russell, whom he considers a disgusting human being, but they keep refusing her offer and 'slamming the door in her face'. He thanks Sandra on behalf of the Heroes for her help whether she gets their votes or not. Rupert calls Parvati a very strong player, but that she aligned with such a disgusting human being in Russell. Parvati defends herself by saying that her whole original Villains tribe wanted her out from the beginning. Rupert ends his speech by saying that both Sandra and Parvati deserve to win because they worked hard to get to the end.
After the jury members questioned all of the three finalists, Jeff declares that it's time to vote to decide on who should be the winner of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Russell did not win any votes from the jury, thus making him the season's second runner-up. Parvati recieved three jury votes from Danielle, Coach, and Jerri. However, it was Sandra that recieved the majority of the jury votes, as she won six of the nine jury votes from all of the original Heroes and Courtney, therefore making Parvati Shallow the runner-up and Sandra Diaz-Twine the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, as well as the first Survivor contestant to be the winner of two seasons.
