## Story

### Night 36

The camera fades in to the Hakauata camp. A small monkey is seen landing on a large tree branch before it looks to the camera. Then, we see the final five return from Tribal where Yannick was just voted out. They all put their torches on a tree before going to the shelter.

***Jillian:*** Well guys, thanks for keeping me.

***Laura:*** No problem. I just knew if he stayed, he would have caused more trouble.

We then see Noah, Laura, and Gerda at the beach. Laura has her hands on her hips while Noah brushes back his hair.

***Noah:*** So I just want to make sure we're still good on us going to the final three.

***Laura:*** No doubt, those two have to go next.

***Noah:*** Alright good, because I was worried that me voting with Yannick screwed me up.

***Laura:*** It didn't, we're still tight. We just needed to get rid of the bad apple.

***Noah:*** Alright.

We then cut to Nicole and Jillian by the fire. Jillian looks over to the three former Heroes before turning back to Nicole.

***Jillian:*** Looks like we're in trouble, ol' pal.

***Nicole:*** We'll find a way. We always do.

The three Heroes return to the camp and make their way to the shelter.

Nicole just stares into the fire, determined to fight.

*(intro plays)*

### Day 37

The camera fades in to the Hakauata camp. Both Noah and Gerda are the only ones up and the two walk down the path to go to the water well. Noah carries the pot while Gerda has the canteens.

***Noah:*** So, I've been thinking.

***Gerda:*** About what?

***Noah:*** Laura.

We see Noah filling up the pot with the well water as Gerda takes a sip out of a canteen.

***Noah:*** I think if Laura gets to the end, she beats both of us. She's made connections, moves, and won challenges. I think once Nicole is gone, we take Jillian to the end.

***Gerda:*** No, no way.

***Noah:*** Gerda, think about it. Jillian hasn't gone anything besides make enemies. Nicole and Laura are our biggest threats.

***Gerda:*** I don't care. I don't want those two to get to the end. You, Laura, and I need to get to the end.

The two come back to camp and see Laura talking to Nicole and Jillian. Noah places the pot full of water on the fire before joining the three.

***Laura:*** This is insane. I'm, like, the only one here who hasn't been in the final five before.

***Nicole:*** Really?

***Laura:*** Yeah, I was taken out at six in Tonga and at eight in Hawaii.

***Nicole:*** Well congratulations!

***Laura (Laughs):*** Thanks.

While the other three laugh at Laura's joke, Jillian rolls her eyes.

The scene then changes to the final five challenge. After a few shots of the challenge, we see Probst.

***Jeff:*** Come on in, guys!

The final five meet Jeff for their next challenge. After Nicole gives the necklace back, Jeff goes over the challenge. At the start, Gerda runs into a wall while everyone else carefully walks through the maze. Laura is the first one to a station and gets her first medallion. Nicole soon gets herself a medallion, but is on the other side of Laura. Noah and Jillian struggle greatly, trying to find a guide post. Gerda uses the walls to guide herself, a strategy that does not work as she is unable to find a station. Nicole soon gets her second medallion and rushes to find a guide post. Noah gets his first as Laura gets her second. Jillian finally gets to a station and gets a medallion. Jeff notes that Gerda is officially out of the challenge as Nicole gets her third. Nicole struggles to find a guiding post as Noah and Jillian get their second medallion and Laura gets her third. Knowing she and Nicole are tied, Laura rushes to where Nicole got her first medallion to try and get in the lead. Gerda finally gets her first medallion but Laura gets her final one. Nicole finally gets her final medallion, making it a race to the necklace. Laura and Nicole meet up at the middle of the maze and race towards the necklace. Laura grabs the necklace a second before Nicole, giving her immunity. When Jeff officiates it and the five take their blindfolds off, Laura and Nicole are shocked to see how close they were together.

We then see Jeff addressing the final five.

***Jeff:*** Laura, come on over!

Laura walks over to Jeff and he places the necklace around her.

***Jeff:*** With this around your neck, you are guaranteed a spot in the final four, one step closer to the million dollars. As for the rest of you, someone going home tonight. See you at Tribal. Congrats Laura.

***Laura:*** Thanks Jeff!

We get a slo-mo shot of everyone leaving the challenge.

We cut to the Hakauata camp. The final five return from the challenge and Laura places the necklace on a nearby tree.

***Noah:*** Great job today, Laura.

***Laura:*** Thanks Noah, we really needed it.

***Noah:*** Yeah, no kidding.

***Laura (Mouthing):*** Nicole?

Noah nods in agreement while Gerda mouths 'Of course.'

We then see Nicole and Jillian walking in the forest. Nicole has a giant stick with her, using it as a walking stick, while Jillian has her hair in a pony-tail, with her buff holding it together.

***Nicole:*** We need to find that idol, it's the only way to ensure we both make it to tomorrow.

***Jillian:*** Where would it be though?

***Nicole:*** Just look for anything significant. Like a large tree or a misshapen rock.

We see a montage of shots of the two women looking around. Nicole searches under rocks while Jillian searches in trees. Suddenly, Nicole pulls the wrapped up idol from underneath a rock.

***Nicole:*** Shut the f--k up! Shut the f--k up!

***Jillian:*** You got it?!

***Nicole:*** Yeah!

Nicole unwraps the idol and hands it to Jillian. Jillian kisses it before putting it into her pocket.

***Nicole:*** So this is my plan. We need to get as many people to dislike Laura.

***Jillian:*** Ok.

***Nicole:*** So this is my thought. I'll vote Noah, you vote Gerda. We play the idols and tie the vote and force Laura to choose one or the other.

***Jillian:*** Honestly, I think we should both vote Noah.

***Nicole:*** Jillian, please.

***Jillian:*** Gerda has done NOTHING while Noah is an actual threat.

***Nicole:*** I know but Laura is more than likely gonna win the final challenge. We need to make her look bad in front of the jury.

We then see the final five getting ready for Tribal. Jillian grabs her torch while Gerda takes hers, with a confident grin on her face.

The scene fades to Tribal Council. The final five make their ways to their seats before placing their torches down. After sitting down and waiting for the jury, Jeff begins the QnA.

***Jeff:*** So Laura, congratulations on immunity.

***Laura:*** Thanks again!

***Jeff:*** Did you feel like you needed it?

***Laura:*** Um, not really. I just feel that Gerda, Noah, or I had to win.

***Jeff:*** So that means it's either Nicole or Jillian going home tonight?

***Laura:*** Correct.

***Jeff:*** So Jillian, how do you make sure it's not you tonight?

***Jillian:*** Well Nicole has been a major player throughout this game. If one of us is to win, it's her.

***Jeff:*** Nicole, you cant blame Jillian for what she's doing.

***Nicole:*** No, I can't. I would be offended if she didn't do it because she wouldn't be playing the game. But I think there are some actual threats in that tight three that they refuse to see.

***Jeff:*** Like who?

***Nicole:*** Both Noah and Laura have played straight up honest games and they could get respect from the jury.

***Jeff:*** Noah, does that worry you?

***Noah:*** Not really. I trust these two and I know they have my back.

***Jeff:*** So Gerda, you weren't mentioned in Nicole's plea.

***Gerda:*** Yeah, I guess I haven't been seen as a threat to win. Which is fine.

***Jeff:*** How is that fine?

***Gerda:*** It means I have a guaranteed spot at the final three so I know I'm not going home.

The music intensifies as Nicole and Jillian nod at one another.

***Jeff:*** So it seems like this Tribal is set in stone. Let's get it over with. Laura, you're up.

Laura gets up to vote. No one's vote is shown but Jillian's voting confessional is heard. After Gerda sits down, Jeff goes to get the votes and returns with the urn.

***Jeff:*** If anybody has the hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, tonight is the last night to use it.

Laura, Noah, and Gerda keep their eyes locked on Jeff. Soon, both Nicole and Jillian stand up and take their idols out. Gerda looks shocked while Laura looks more annoyed than surprised. Both woman give their idols to Jeff before sitting down.

***Jeff:*** These are both hidden immunity idols. Any votes cast for Jillian or Nicole will not count. I'll read the votes.

Jeff opens the urn while Noah can only shake his head.

***Jeff:*** First vote: Nicole. Does not count.

Gerard is seen smiling from the jury, happy to see his ally safe.

***Jeff:*** Nicole. Does not count.

Nicole and Jillian fist bump.

***Jeff:*** Nicole. Does not count.

Noah closes his eyes, scared.

***Jeff:*** Noah, that's one vote Noah.

Noah begins to gather his belongings.

***Jeff:*** Gerda. We are tied.

At the mention of Gerda's name, Noah looks up. Both Gerda and Laura look at Nicole and Jillian, surprised.

***Nicole:*** Jillian, keep your vote the same.

Jillian nods.

***Laura (Quietly):*** Oh my God.

***Jeff:*** Here's what will happen. Noah and Gerda, you will not vote. Laura, Nicole, and Jillian, you may only vote for Gerda or Noah. Nicole, if you could come take this.

Nicole gets up and takes the urn. Nicole and Jillian have their vote shown while Laura's voting confessional is heard. After Laura sits, Jeff goes to get the revotes and returns with the urn.

***Jeff:*** Once the votes are read, the decision is final. I'll read the votes.

Jeff opens the urn while Laura can't look at Jeff.

***Jeff:*** First vote: Gerda.

Gerda nods.

***Jeff:*** Noah. That's one vote Noah, one vote Gerda, one vote left.

Noah looks at Laura, who doesn't return his glance.

***Jeff:*** Sixteenth person voted out and the eighth member of our jury...Gerda.

Gerda's head drops while Noah breaths a sigh of relief.

***Noah:*** Thank you.

Laura doesn't respond as Gerda puts her torch in front of Jeff.

***Jeff:*** Gerda, the tribe has spoken.

He snuffs her torch.

***Jeff:*** Time to go.

Gerda silently leaves as Jeff turns to the final four.

***Jeff:*** Well after a crazy Tribal Council, we are down to four. With just two days left, the game is far from over. Tomorrow you will compete in your final challenge. Try and get some sleep. Goodnight.

The final four leave Tribal as Gerda's final words are played. Soon, the camera fades to the final four returning to camp.

***Laura:*** Ok, that was insane.

***Noah:*** Yeah, great job you two.

***Jillian:*** Thanks.

We then see Laura and Noah laying down in the shelter.

***Noah:*** Thanks so much for keeping me.

***Laura:*** Please, don't mention it. It was awful.

***Noah:*** We have to be ready for a battle tomorrow.

***Laura:*** No kidding.

After Laura's confessional, the scene fades to black.

### Day 38

The camera fades in to the Hakauata camp. Everyone is up and around the fire. Noah takes some rice out of the pot and begins to eat while Nicole rubs her eyes, trying to stay awake.

***Noah:*** We're almost done.

***Nicole:*** I can't wait.

We cut to Jillian and Nicole walking to treemail. Jillian is eating a fruit while Nicole fixes her buff around her body.

***Nicole:*** So, I just want to know if we're still good.

***Jillian:*** Of course, why wouldn't we be?

***Nicole:*** Because we're getting down to the end and I'm super nervous.

***Jillian:*** We're good, just chill.

***Nicole:*** Ok.

***Jillian:*** I'm actually offended you thought we weren't.

***Nicole:*** Well like I said, we're getting down to the end and anything can happen.

***Jillian:*** I've been with you since the start, I'm not changing.

We cut back to the Hakauata camp. Laura and Noah are by the fire, silent. Soon, Nicole and Jillian are seen coming out of the woods with treemail.

***Nicole:*** We got treemail!

***Noah:*** Oh boy, here we go.

Nicole opens up the treemail and begins to read it but the audio is silent as Laura has a confessional play.

The camera cuts to the final immunity challenge. We see a few shots of the large challenge area before seeing Probst.

***Jeff:*** Come on in, guys!

The final four arrive to their final challenge. After stepping on the mat and Laura giving Jeff the necklace, Jeff goes over the challenge. Both Nicole and Laura get through their rope with ease. Noah soon follows while Jillian struggles. Nicole is the first up the stairs, grabs her key, and slides down the slide. Laura is slow up the stairs but manages to get her key with ease and rushes down the slide. Nicole unlocks a lock and gets her first bag just as Laura gets down the slide. Jillian finally undoes her rope just as Noah makes it up the stairs. Laura gets her first bag and makes her way back to the stairs. Nicole gets her second key and races down the slide, soon followed by Laura. Jillian gets up the stairs and gets her first key as Noah gets his first bag. Both Nicole and Laura get their second bag and race to get their third. Jeff announces that the challenge is now between Laura and Nicole as Jillian and Noah are so far behind. Both women get their final key at the same time and race down the slide. Noah crawls up the stairs, extremely tired from the challenge. Jillian gets her first bag and trails Noah. As Laura and Nicole get their final bag and begin to get their puzzle pieces. Noah gets back with his second bag and goes to get his final key while Jillian struggles to get up the stairs. Nicole gets her first two pieces while Laura struggles. As Nicole gets her third piece, Laura begins to finally assemble her puzzle. Jillian finally gets her second bag as Noah gets his third. It soon becomes a race between Nicole and Laura but Laura is able to now get through the puzzle with ease. Laura places the final piece and calls Jeff, who officiates her win. Knowing he won, Laura falls to her knees and cries, happy she got to the end. Nicole is seen disappointed that she lost while Jillian sits on the stairs, exhausted. The scene then changes to Jeff addressing the final four.

***Jeff:*** Laura, come on over.

Laura rushes over and Jeff places the necklace around her.

***Jeff:*** With this around your neck, you are guaranteed to have a seat at the Final Tribal Council where you will be able to plead your case for the million. As for the rest of you: Nicole, Noah, Jillian, one of you going home just one day short of the million. You have the afternoon to think about it, I'll see you tonight.

Jeff pats Laura on the back, starting a slow-motion shot of the final four leaving.

We cut to the Hakauata camp. The final four return to camp where Noah hugs Laura after her win.

***Noah:*** Great job today.

***Laura:*** Thanks. Now you have to talk to Jillian because they're gonna be voting you.

***Noah:*** I know.

We see Noah and Jillian in the shelter. Nicole is off on her own while Laura watches the two by the fire.

***Noah:*** Would you consider voting Nicole out tonight?

***Jillian:*** Yesterday I wouldn't have but Nicole questioned me earlier today.

***Noah:*** She did?

***Jillian:*** Yeah, so I may want to take her out.

***Noah:*** Well I would be really grateful.

***Jillian:*** I just need to think about it.

***Noah:*** I know, no rush.

Noah leaves and joins Laura.

We see Nicole returning to Jillian at the shelter. Jillian is seen staring up at the roof of the shelter while Nicole sits next to her.

***Nicole:*** We still good for tonight?

***Jillian:*** I guess.

Nicole is seen worried, not knowing what Jillian is gonna do.

We see the final four gathering their torches to get ready to go to Tribal.

We see Tribal Council as the final four make their way to their seat. After they sit down and the jurors come in, Jeff begins the final QnA.

***Jeff:*** So Laura, how does it feel to have a guaranteed spot at the Final Tribal Council?

***Laura:*** It's crazy. I didn't think I'd get this far but now that I'm at the end, I need to prepare myself for tomorrow.

***Jeff:*** So Noah, since Laura is immune that must make you the target for Nicole and Jillian.

***Noah:*** Yeah, but I spoke to Jillian and I hope I got through to her that Nicole has to go.

***Jeff:*** Jillian, what was Noah's plea?

***Jillian:*** That Nicole has played a solid strategic game and he's right. Nicole has played a very strong and would be tough to go up against in the final three.

***Jeff:*** Nicole, what do you have to say to Jillian since she seems to be the swing?

***Nicole:*** That I've been loyal to you since the first day and I think we should go to the end together like we promised.

***Noah:*** But Jillian, you do know Nicole would beat you. You have a chance against Laura and I.

***Nicole:*** You don't. Noah and Laura are two of the most social people here and if someone like Noah is at the end, he takes all the votes.

***Jeff:*** Wow. So Jillian, do you know what you're doing?

***Jillian:*** No, I honestly don't.

***Nicole:*** Jillian, if I go to the jury, Noah gets my vote. He has played the strongest game of us four and will win.

***Noah:*** And I'll vote Nicole if I go to the jury.

The music intensifies as Jillian turns to look at Jeff.

***Jeff:*** Well let's see who will join the jury. It is time to vote. Laura, you're up.

Laura gets up to vote. Laura, Nicole, and Noah have their voting confessional shown. Jillian's confessional is heard but her vote is not shown. After Jillian sits down, Jeff goes to get the votes and returns with the urn.

***Jeff:*** Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately, I'll read the votes.

Jillian keeps her eyes locked on the votes while Nicole is seen worried.

***Jeff:*** First vote: Nicole.

Nicole nods.

***Jeff:*** Noah. That's one vote Nicole, one vote Noah.

Noah looks at Jillian.

***Jeff:*** Nicole. That's two votes Nicole.

Noah closes his eyes while Nicole looks at Jillian, who doesn't return her glance.

***Jeff:*** Noah, we are tied.

Nicole breaths a sigh of relief while Noah is seen upset.

***Jeff:*** Here's what will happen. Noah and Nicole, you two will compete in a firemaking challenge. Winner stays, loser goes to the jury.

Nicole and Noah walk over to the firemaking station and when Jeff tells them to start, Nicole and Noah rush to create their fire. Nicole puts husk on her table before striking her flint while Noah uses the sticks with his flint. Noah gets a spark but is unable to keep it lit. Nicole gets a spark with the husk and tries to keep her fire alive. She gets a flame and begins to build it. Noah begins to panic, causing him to cut himself but he continues on. Nicole begins to build her flame until it is large enough. Noah finally gets a flame but Nicole's rope breaks, signifying her victory.

***Jeff:*** Nicole's rope breaks! Nicole will make it to the final three! Noah becomes the ninth and final member of our jury.

Nicole and Noah hug each other. Nicole sits down while Noah gets his torch and puts it in front of Jeff.

***Jeff:*** Noah, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff snuffs his torch and Noah quietly leaves Tribal. Jeff then turns to the final three.

***Jeff:*** Well, here we are. Jillian, Laura, Nicole, you have done what seventeen people could not: make it to the end. Tomorrow you will go through the Final Tribal Council. I recommend you go to bed early because tomorrow will be a battle. Good luck.

The final three get up and get their torches before heading out as Noah's final words are played. Then, the scene changes to the final three arriving back to camp.

***Laura:*** Congratulations ladies!

***Nicole:*** This is insane.

The three woman hug each other.

***Laura:*** I suggest we all sleep early because with that jury, we're in for some hell.

***Jillian:*** No kidding.

After Nicole's confessional, the scene fades to black.

### Day 39

The camera fades in to the final day of the game. All three woman are up and walking down the path to go to treemail.

***Laura:*** This crazy adventure is almost done.

***Nicole:*** I know, I can't wait to get a shower.

The three women arrive to treemail and see a blanket with bread, fruit, pancake mix, etc. The three woman jump for joy. Jillian grabs the blanket while Laura and Nicole take the food.

We see the final three eating the breakfast near the shelter. Laura cooks the pancakes over the fire while Jillian stuffs her face with bread.

***Jillian (With her mouth full):*** Oh my God.

***Nicole:*** So good!

Laura takes the pancake out of the pan and begins to devour it.

***Laura:*** So, what do you think's gonna happen tonight?

***Nicole:*** Oh, we're gonna get drilled. No doubt.

***Jillian:*** I think I may get the most heat but of well.

***Nicole:*** I think I'll get some grief as well.

***Laura:*** I think we all will.

Nicole chuckles.

The camera cuts to the final three grabbing their torches as they start to make their way to Tribal Council.

After Laura's confessional, we see the final three come to Tribal Council. After sitting down and bringing in the jury, Jeff begins FTC.

***Jeff:*** Well, here we are. Jillian, Laura, Nicole, congratulations on getting to this point. Now you have to face the jury, nine people you had a hand in voting out. Here's how tonight will work, the three of you will make an opening statement, the jury will then address you, then we vote. Let's start, Jillian, you're up.

***Jillian:*** Alright. I know I wasn't the most pleasant person to be around in camp but I think that just showed my determination. I had people come to me and talk down to me but I never gave up. I was a target for people before the merge and me being here shows I had done something right. So I hope you take that into consideration when making a decision and I look forward to your questions.

Jillian looks over to Jeff.

***Jeff:*** Laura.

***Laura:*** Hello everyone. This game is outwit, outplay, and outlast and I feel like out of the three of us, I did that the best. I had control of the game early on and steered the votes to where-ever I wanted them, the outwit part. I won the most individual immunity's this season with three, the outplay part, and I made it here to the final three, the outlast part. I was a very social person by getting to know everyone so I feel like that makes me the most deserving of the title of Sole Survivor.

Laura nods to Jeff, signifying she is done.

***Jeff:*** Nicole.

***Nicole:*** Hey guys. I just want to start out that I'm still here despite the threat I was from the start. I'm the only former winner left and not only that, I was in the minority for a good portion of the game. On my own tribe, I was at the bottom of the Joseph-Kim-Gerard alliance and at the merge, I was in the minority. So I'm here against God's plan. I was a fighter and it showed yesterday when I won the tiebreaker. So I hope you guys consider me for your vote tonight. Thanks.

## QnA

### Kim

Nicole's speech ends and Jeff turns to the jury.

***Jeff:*** Alright Kim, get us started.

Kim gets up and stands in front of the finalists.

***Kim:*** Hello everyone. Jillian, I'm gonna start with you. You're not getting my vote and nothing you say will convince me otherwise. Your behavior at camp sucked and it was a chore dealing with you. Now Laura, while I was in the game, you were extremely condescending to me and this was something other jurors have expressed their frustrations with. Tell me, do you regret them?

***Laura:*** I do. I never wanted to come off as condescending but the nature of the game got to my head so I do apologize.

***Kim:*** Ok, and Nicole. Why did you vote me?

***Nicole:*** The reason I voted you was because Yannick came to Jillian and I and said 'If you vote Kim, I'll help you out.' It was just to get one step further in the game.

***Kim:*** Alright, well good luck.

Kim sits down.

### Guylan

***Jeff:*** Guylan.

Guylan gets up and walks over to where Kim once stood.

***Guylan:*** Alright, Laura I have nothing for you. That doesn't mean you have no chance at my vote, but I just need to know more about Nicole and Jillian as I never spoke to them. Now Nicole, you have made your fair share of moves throughout the game. I have to ask, which one do you consider your biggest move?

***Nicole:*** That's tough, I'd say the final five Tribal where Jillian and I played both idols and split the vote. It put Laura in a position that she really hadn't been in through the game.

***Guylan:*** Awesome. And Jillian, same question.

***Jillian:*** Um, I have to say aligning with Nicole. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here.

***Guylan:*** Ok, thanks guys.

Guylan goes back to his seat.

### Luke

***Jeff:*** Luke.

Luke goes to the usual spot.

***Luke:*** Laura, my focus is on you. A lot of the jury sees you as hypocritical. You know, you talk about how you hate arrogance but some see you as the most arrogant person this season. Y'know and I saw it as well and it frustrates me.

***Laura:*** I think it was because for the first time at the merge, I was in a good position. The power just got in my head and it is easily my biggest regret.

***Luke:*** Alright, well good luck.

Luke goes back to his seat.

### Gerda

***Jeff:*** Gerda.

Gerda gets up.

***Gerda:*** Jillian, I have to ask. Do you see yourself as a coattail rider?

***Jillian:*** What? You serious? I've played this game hard so I'm not a coattail rider. And it's funny that that's coming from you since you were the biggest coattail rider in this entire game!

Gerda simply shakes her head and goes back to her seat.

### J.T.

***Jeff:*** J.T., you're up.

J.T. gets up and walks over to where Gerda stood.

***J.T.:*** First, I got to thank you three for voting out Kim. That was amazing.

The three women laugh as Kim rolls her eyes.

***J.T.:*** But back to business. Laura, you and I never had a chance to talk once so why should I vote you over Nicole or Jillian?

***Laura:*** You should vote me because I had control of the game. Only three times did the person I wanted gone not go home. Every other time? I had a big part in their ousting so I think I deserve your vote.

***J.T.:*** Thanks and good luck.

***Laura:*** Thanks.

J.T. sits.

### Gerard

***Jeff:*** Gerard.

Gerard gets up and walks to the usual jury spot.

***Gerard:*** Hey guys. First I want to say congrats. I have no reason to be bitter at you three but I want to warn you. You three didn't play perfect social games. Jillian, you were a bitch. Plain and simple. Nicole, you were kind of cold to people and that can turn them away from you. Laura, I know this was touched on, but you were pretty arrogant. You guys can't fight with the jury because it's our time now. We make the final decision. Just keep that in mind. Good luck.

Gerard sits down.

### Joseph

***Jeff:*** Joseph.

Joseph gets up.

***Joseph:*** I just have a simple question guys. If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? Nicole?

***Nicole:*** I would idol you. It would have given us a better shot at the merge to gain numbers.

***Joseph:*** Thanks. Jillian?

***Jillian:*** I guess I would be less of a bitch since you guys don't like me.

***Joseph:*** Ok, and Laura?

***Laura:*** I would be more humble.

***Joseph:*** Great answers guys.

Joseph sits down.

### Noah

***Jeff:*** Noah.

Noah gets up and walks to where Joseph stood.

***Noah:*** Although my mind is made up, I just want to congratulate you three. This was a tough season so don't let us take that away from you. You guys deserve to sit where you are because you played and played hard. Good luck,

***Nicole:*** Thanks Noah.

Noah sits down.

### Yannick

***Jeff:*** Yannick, close it out.

Yannick gets up.

**Yannick:** Nicole, Gerard touched upon this but I'm gonna go into a little more detail. You never really made any bonds with anyone from Faleloa except for me and that was a huge flaw in your game. You were very cold to people, almost heartless, and some of us are pretty pissed at that.

***Nicole:*** I wanted to but I was in such a tough position that-

***Yannick:*** That's an excuse. I talked to people in the minority alliance every day. I never let my position in the game dictate who I spoke to.

***Nicole:*** I just couldn't. Most of you guys were so high up into your alliance that you would ignore me. You were the only one who would give me the time of day.

***Yannick:*** For some reason I don't believe that, but good luck.

Yannick sits down.

### Reading of the Votes

***Jeff:*** Alright jury, a healthy back and forth. Now it's time to get to the vote. Remember, you are voting for a winner. Let's get started. Guylan, you're up.

Guylan gets up and goes to the voting booth. Joseph, Luke, Gerard, and Noah have their voting confessionals shown as they go up. We see a mix of jurors voting plus the final three. After Noah returns from the booth, Jeff goes to get the votes and returns with the urn.

***Jeff:*** Jillian, Laura, Nicole, jury, thank you for a great season of Survivor. I'll see you back in the U.S. for the reading of the votes.

Jeff leaves the Tribal Council area. As he does, the jury applauds the final three on a game well played. Soon the camera fades to Jeff arriving to the stage where the finalists and jury, now clean and well dressed, wait. The audience applaud Jeff as he gets into his position.

***Jeff:*** Alright! What a welcome!

The applause dies down.
