Lena talks with Julius. She tells him about Feleysa targeting Kira tonight. Julius tells Lena it may be a good idea. Lena is shocked about Julius opinion. Julius tells Lena that it may be Lena tonight going home, so when Feleysa gives her this proposition, then it's good to do that.

### Day 38

Kira, Lena, Julius and Daniel arrive at the Final Immunity Challenge. Jeff explains the rules of the challenge. They will race through an obstacle and down a giant water slide collecting bags of puzzle pieces as they go. Once they have all three bags, they will use the pieces inside to solve a lighthouse puzzle. The first to finish is guaranteed a spot at the Final Tribal Council. One of the losers will be the seventeenth person voted out at Tribal Council and the tenth and final member of the jury.

The challenge begins. Everyone runs to the first post where they untie their key and head through the obstacle to their first bag. They will use the key to unlock it. Daniel gets his bag first. Daniel climbs up the stairs to get his next key and takes it with him down the slide. He is still in the lead as he unlocks his second bag. Daniel takes the lead as he gets his third bag before the others. Daniel makes quick work of his lighthouse puzzle. Kira is now working on her puzzle, but it's too late as Daniel finishes his puzzle first and now unties his bag of number tiles. He uses the three numbers to unlock a combination lock and the final piece of his puzzle. No one else is close. Daniel wins himself immunity once again. He has guaranteed himself a spot at the Final Tribal Council.

The Final 4 returns to the camp. Daniel is really happy to finally make it to Final 3.

Kira sits alone and thinks what to do. She really needed this immunity.

Kira talks with Lena about tonight's vote. She says that with Daniel being safe the only target she considers is Julius. Lena is really sad to choose between Kira and Julius as she wanted to go to the end with them. Kira says Lena has to believe her that it's hard to put Julius name down too, but it's about Final 3 right now. Kira mentionts she knows Julius will probably target Kira too, so it's down to Lena.

Lena talks with Julius. She asks him if he's going to take her to the Final 3. Julius is honest with Lena and tells her that he would love to go with Kira and Julius as they are his friends, but he has to think in a game perspective. Lena laughs asking Julius does he think he can beat Lena. Julius says yes. Lena tells Julius so it's going to be Kira. Julius says yes.

Kira has a conversation with Daniel. Kira and Daniel are talking about *Africa* and how they've met. Daniel tells Kira this vote is the hardest ever. Kira says she knows that. Daniel asks is she going to vote against Lena or Julius. Kira says she would prefer to vote out Lena, because Julius is her friend too, but nobody can beat Julius in the end. Daniel says he knows it. Kira asks Daniel if it's going to be Julius then. Daniel tells Kira he loves her, but he can't tell her as he has to think about it more.

Daniel and Julius are sitting together watching the sunset. Julius starts to talk about *All-Stars*. Daniel says it was good times. Julius agrees laughing that they were both losers, so nobody was upset. Daniel says he thinks Lena is going to vote out Kira tonight. Julius says he's going to do Kira too, because he thinks when it comes down to Final 3 with Lena and Daniel, his only threat is going to be Daniel. Daniel says he thinks his biggest competition is Julius too, but Kira is a threat to win it all as much as everybody. Julius asks Daniel what he's going to do. Daniel says he still doesn't know.

The Final 4 are getting ready for their Tribal Council. Daniel still doesn't know what to do.

At Tribal Council there's a huge discussion about Daniel's victory and the story of Julius, Kira and Daniel playing together several times in a past seasons. Jeff asks them is it going to be Lena then. Daniel says that the situation is more complicated as they need to think 'who I can beat in the end'. Lena thinks it's going to be a battle tommorow. Julius says he thinks tonight it's between him and Kira and that's the worst feeling, but it's about money so they need to fight. Kira agrees saying she knows her fate is in Lena's and Daniel's hands. The voting begins. Jeff reads the vote and by a vote of 3-1 Kira becomes 16th person voted out and the tenth and final member of the jury.

The Final 3 wakes up after yesterday Tribal Council. They're in a very good mood talking about how amazing it is to be on Day 39. Daniel talks that it's his first time being there, because Julius and Lena previously have made it to the end with Lena winning the show.

Lena comes with tree-mail that says they have to go for their Day 39 breakfast which is hidden in the middle of the forest. They go there and see beautiful meal. They start to enjoy it.

Later on, the Final 3 watches the sunset. They can't stop smiling how happy they are about being in the Final 3.

The Final 3 says goodbye to their camp as they head to the Final Tribal Council where Jury will decide who wins this season of Survivor Fanon by Bartosh.

### Final Tribal Council

The Final 3: Daniel, Julius and Lena arrive at the Final Tribal Council. Then Jury of 10 arrives. It's Tommy, Sarah, Sylvester, Ciara, Shekinah, Julia, Jude, Bartosh, Feleysa and Kira voted out in the last Tribal Council. Jeff then announces that Tribal Council will be different this season to allow a more open question and answer session between the jury and the final three. It will be centered on the three aspects of the game, which are outwit, outlast and outplay. The jury then addresses the final three, asking them vital questions to help make their decisions of who is the most worthy of the million-dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor.

Jeff tells them to start with the outwit portion of the game, which is the social part of Survivor. Lena is first and she starts to talk that her relationship with Julius, Kira, Tommy and Daniel safed her at the swap. She was considered to be voted out and not Wess, on Day 9. But she knew that she has to trust somebody, so she got closer with Julius and Kira, not to mention Tommy who she was even working since Solevu tribe. Lena mentionts that even though she voted out Sylvester, she was a part of blindsiding Ciara and then she helped Bartosh, who was mad at her about voting out his husband, but Lena could do so much that he gained her trust again. Then Julius starts to speak that relationships where always his strong side, because they helped him move into Final 3 every time with in *Heroes vs. Villains* and now to Day 39. Julius says he was always honest with everybody and even though he knew somebody was going home, he was still cool with these people and treated this person who was just about being voted out as the player, not as some trash, because Julius knows in the end of the day this person becomes a juror. Despite that, Julius mentionts it's his honesty and loyalty with people and not just his "game face". Then Daniel starts to talk that he thinks about emotional intelligence in some different level. Daniel starts to talk about his alliance with switched Nalau tribe and then how he connected with people by voting out Sylvester. Daniel mentionts for him Sylvester was not the biggest threat, but he voted this way because he wanted to show his loyalty to Sarah, Ciara or Shekinah to make bigger alliance, however he never left his true bond with Kira or Julius despite they often voted in a different way.

Jeff changes the focus to the outplay portion of Survivor where they have to make shelter, compete in challenges, maneuver through tribe switches and know how to best play idols. Feleysa starts to talk how well Daniel did in this portion of the game. She says Daniel has won four immunities and with both times that he switched tribes he somehow maneuvered himself to make it to the merge and now to the Final 3. Daniel says he used his idol so Wess was gone, because he was on the chopping block on Day 9, then he allied himself with enemies from Solevu: Dexter and Spencer in case he's in trouble, so he was a total control of the whole tribe. He says he allied himself with Ciara, Sarah and Shekinah and at some point even Tommy was more loyal to him than with Kira who he was very close with. Sylvester says that Julius also was playing a good outplay portion of the game, because he was working hard around camp, he won immunities too and every time he was in different tribe he was in majority. He always found himself in a good position and he played an idol on Sylvester which proves that he was thinking who may help him make it far, because he knew that he doesn't need it as much as his allies, because he's protected from every side. Then Bartosh asks the question to Lena about her Legacy Advantage. Bartosh says he's a big fan of Lena and he loves watching her competing this season, but he doesn't understand why she didn't use her Legacy Advantage on Bartosh on Day 36, so Daniel would be in jury. Lena says she was not sure about the vote, because it was between her and Bartosh that night. Lena also mentionts that with using it on Bartosh she would be in minority, because Julius, Feleysa and Kira would probably vote together. Bartosh says he thinks Julius would stay loyal so the Final 3 would be Bartosh, Lena and Julius. Lena says probably, but she was playing safe that night not to ruffle anyone's feathers and it was a good idea, because now she is in the Final 3.

Jeff brings them to focus on the last portion of the game, which is the outlast portion of the game. The focus now is whether they put the right people on the jury that respect their outwit and outplay more than the other two. Lena says she has a lot of friends in jury like Kira, Tommy, Bartosh or Jude, but she never got any blood on her hands to make that moves. She made different people look like they were responsible for that, because she was always cool with everybody. Lena also mentionts the only time when she was a deciding vote which changed the course of the game was when she flipped to vote out Sylvester, because she knew it will bring some people closer to her. Tommy says he loves Lena and he know her since Day 1, but he feels like a lot of moves where decided because of Julius. Lena says it was a decision made based on our opinions, but when she didn't trust Daniel enough on Nalau tribe, she voted against him. She reminds Tommy he did it too. Lena says she was never scared about flipping, that's why she was against Daniel and against Sylvester too. Ciara tells Lena that despite Lena was trying to play her own game, Daniel is still there. Lena agrees saying that when Daniel was mean to Bartosh at merge feast, she saw the opportunity to keep him. He was a threat at late game, but after Bartosh and Feleysa were voted out he won immunities, but at the same time she saw Kira and Feleysa as bigger threats than Daniel. Then Daniel starts to talk about his outlast portion of the game. Daniel says he was playing from the bottom this whole game so the only thing that helped where his immunities, an idol and relationships. He feels that in jury are people who he was working with, but people who he voted out were not blindsided by him, he was honest with who should go home and he says he thinks nobody would beat people like Sylvester, Bartosh, Shekinah or Kira in the end. Kira says that's right, but in the other hand for most of the votes Daniel was out of the loop, because he tried to vote out these threats for weeks. Daniel says that's right, but even though he was wrong about the vote and he was in miniority, he was protected by relationships and by his wins. Daniel mentionts that Kira has told him yesterday that it would be him on the jury and not her or Feleysa if he didn't win those immunities. Then Julius starts to talk about jurors. He says he put in the jury people who he thinks may vote for him. Julius says he was honest with Kira when he told her it's between him and Kira. He was honest with Feleysa and he was playing with Bartosh for as much as long as he could, but when his closer allies saw Bartosh a threat, he voted him out. Julius says the only time he was not in control was when Julia was eliminated by drawing rocks and when he didn't know about Tommy vote. He mentionts that Lena's move with voting out Sylvester was good, but it didn't weaken his gameplay, because it helped him as Sylvester was a threat further in this game and that's why Julius feels like he didn't hurt anybody, because he was good with others opinions and feelings.

Jeff then calls for the vote. The ten jury members then cast their votes for the winner. Jeff Probst reads the votes live from Los Angeles, and with the majority of the 6 votes cast for him, Julius wins the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar prize for **Survivor: Game Changers**.
