Superior Stakes

**Superior Stakes is the season finale of Survivor: Fire Frenzy**

## Plot synopsis

Bonfire Camp Return Challenge (Day 35):

The rules are simple: Build a fire that burns through the rope before anyone else can. If you succeed, you rejoin the game for a legitimate shot at the grand prize. If not, you will become a member of the jury. The challenge begins, and seconds in, Mike gets fire. Stephanie gets fire next and then Lauren. Lauren and Stephanie both use all of their coconut husk, both burning the rope. Both fires burn through at the exact second. After reviewing the tapes, Stephanie's fire was faster by 0.083 seconds. Stephanie rejoins the remaining four contestants (Devon, Dean, Angela, and Danielle) for a shot at the money.

Jury Members: Aubry, Devens, Cirie, Bobby, Becky, Matty, Lauren, Kara, and Mike. 2 more will join them.

Immunity Challenge (Day 36):

Each player will stand on a narrow beam holding onto a pole. On the pole you must balance a ball for as long as you can. At regular intervals, you will move farther down the beam and your hands will move farther down the pole, making it more difficult. If at any point you drop the ball or you fall off the beam, you're out. Last 2 left standing will step off their beam and navigate that ball through a table maze. First to finish the table maze wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final 4. As for the rest of you, somebody going home tonight. Let's do this! After 8 minutes, Angela drops the ball. After 15 minutes, the first transition happens and Danielle can't handle it. Stephanie slips but recovers. Devon falls off after the second transition. Stephanie and Dean do a table maze showdown. Dean gets the first ball in first, but Stephanie gets the long one moments later. Dean's second ball falls off during a tricky section, and Stephanie gets her second one in to win immunity.

At Sparra, Stephanie strategizes with Angela to get Devon out. Devon wants Dean out because of fire. Dean overhears others plans again and targets Devon for bringing his name up. Everyone searches for idols, but no one finds any. At Tribal Council, it was pretty calm for just 5 votes, which were:

First vote, Angela

Devon

Devon

Angela, one vote left

Fifteenth person voted out of Survivor: Fire Frenzy, Angela.

For day 37, everyone rested and was fed pizza to prepare for Final Immunity and the Fire Challenge

Final Immunity Challenge (Day 38):

For the final immunity challenge of the season, the players will drop a ball down a chute. At regular intervals, more balls will be added, making it more difficult. If at any point a ball drops, you're out. The first ball went in, and nobody dropped. The second ball went in, and still nobody dropped. The third went in, everyone still comfortable. Nobody dropped until five balls, when Dean loses focus and his ball drops. Then at six, Stephanie dropped. It took 8 balls until Danielle dropped, giving Dean final immunity.

Back at camp, Devon tried to persuade Dean to force Stephanie and Danielle to make fire by saying he was the only one of the three who lost their original fire challenge, so he would be no help getting Stephanie out. Dean knew he needed a big move, so he decided to give up immunity. All of them were practicing fire before Tribal Council. At Tribal, he knew he couldn't get Stephanie out, so he went against Devon.

Dean vs. Devon Fire Showdown (Night 38): Originally, Dean won fire in Island of the Idols vs Lauren and Devon lost in HvHvH to Ben. Devon scraped magnesium while Dean built a structure. Devon got a small fire first, but Dean was right on his tail. Dean got a bigger fire, while Devon's stayed small. Devon started building a structure efficiently, and he got a huge fire. Dean continued to build and he got a huge fire as well. Devon's was slightly larger until it burned through the rope, and Devon earned a spot in the Final Tribal Council.
