Welcome to the season finale
of Survivor46.
Well, it's been a fun
and unpredictable season
of Survivor.
We've had a lot
of strong players taken out--
including six straight
blindsides-- forming our jury.
We've had five players voted
out with idols in their pocket,
including
the last four in a row.
That's a record.
And to date, it's been 23 days
they've gone without rice.
Also a record.
But now we're down to five.
Tonight we'll have
two immunity challenges,
two Tribal Councils,
one fire-making showdown.
And then our final three
will face the jury
and we will crown a winner
of Survivor46.
We'll then immediately
go into the aftershow
while we're still here
in beautiful Fiji
and talk about it all.
All right, our final five:
Charlie, Maria, Ben,
Liz and Kenzie.
Who will be
this season's Sole Survivor
and take home the check
for a million dollars?
This is it.
Season finale, Survivor46.

Oh, my God.
[laughing quietly]
And behold.
PROBST:
Previously onSurvivor...
MARIA:
Hopefully, we get to
keep in touch
-and be in each other's lives.
-Oh, my God, yeah.
MARIA:
I adore Charlie so much,
but right now,
-he's standing in my way.
-CHARLIE: I am just
so grateful to, like,
have you just in my life.
I love her to death, but
if I'm going to play to win,
I have to vote her out.
PROBST:
Maria down to her last piece.
And there it is.
Maria's done it.
Her third
individual immunity win.
BEN:
Now everybody's trying
to come together to take down
the king and queen.
-LIZ: Yeah, I love Charlie.
-Yeah.
Maria thinks Liz and I
are gonna vote Charlie.
-I knew this day would come.
-KENZIE: Yeah.
But we're just bamboozling
Maria and Q.
All right.
Tonight is Charlie's
night to go,
and I hope I get a hug.
PROBST:
If anybody has an advantage
or an idol
and you want to play it,
now would be the time to do so.
All right, I'll read the votes.
Thirteenth person voted out
and the sixth member
of our jury: Q.

The tribe has spoken.
Congratulations on making it
to the final five.
One of you will claim the title
of Sole Survivor
and the million dollars
that goes with it.
♪
[cracking]
Charlie, can we go talk?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Where you want to go?
MARIA:
Oh, my God.
I messed up.
I messed up tonight.
I tried to take out Charlie,
my closest ally.
But my big move didn't pan out.
And, yeah, I have to do,
like, major damage control.
-Yeah.
-...to tell me that
if I sat next to you at the end,
I was never gonna win.
They pitted me against you
and did a bait and switch
and made me vote for you
so I look like an idiot,
and now Q's gone.
I'm, like, nauseated
just trying
to explain myself to Charlie,
and I'm really worried my
best friend in the game
is never gonna forgive me,
and my game is done.
-That threesome
-Mm-hmm.
-that's up there
is out to get us.
-Yeah.
-MARIA: They messed up
the alliance
-Like...
-No, no.
-I trusted the most
and now it's tainted.
You know what? There's no reason
to call the party off.
I still want to party, okay?
Because we're down
to five people, and guess what?
-We just got to think
how we're gonna play this.
-Okay.
CHARLIE:
Final five
by the skin of my teeth. Ooh!
Maria, my number one ally,
came for my throat.
You know, it'd be easy for me
to be bitter and upset, but
let's be real.
If she didn't win immunity,
I was planning
on doing the same thing.
I'm sorry.
God, I screwed up.
-God.
-What the heck, Maria?
-Man.
-What the heck?
I'm sorry.
CHARLIE:
Maria
feels terrible,
she feels bamboozled,
but it's completely fake.
I know it.
She came for me
and I came out on top.
-[laughs]
-I totally screwed up.
-Damn.
-CHARLIE: But
if one thing
came out of tonight,
it's that I'm a big threat,
and people are willing
to write my name down.
So, I have to keep every path
open, keep every option open,
to get to the end and
go for the win,
go for the million.
-We made final five.
-CHARLIE: Honestly,
-that was a great Tribal.
-KENZIE: That was a great...
And, Liz, you finally
got your wish to vote Q off.
-Mm-hmm.
-BEN: You think
that was just Liz's wish?
-Oh, no, I doubt that.
-And that's what's up.
[laughing]
Q, my darling, you got played.
I'm so excited!
That was honestly
a really good move, guys.
Y'all are playing way harder
than I thought.
Yeah, we could have
told you that, but we didn't.
MARIA:
Yeah, I know.
LIZ:
Maria says she finally
sees that we are
actually playing the game.
Just a face.
I don't even have words.
Just a face for that.
But at this point in the game,
Maria has a giant target
on her back.
Q ruined my game tonight
and I fell for it.
-BEN: Yeah. Damn.
-Y'all want
to let me win tomorrow?
MARIA:
I am on the bottom, and
now, you know,
there's a massive target on me.
Winning tomorrow is imperative.
Like, this is the time
to just, like, go for it,
to fight as hard as I can,
and hopefully
either win or go down fighting.

Come on in!
Mighty fierce-looking
final five.
Going back to day one,
nobody would have predicted
this five.
No, no.
But here we are.
All right, shall we get
to today's immunity challenge?
-Yes.
-First things first, Maria.
-Oh.
-For the third time,
I have to take it back.
-[applause]
-One more, Jeff.
I got one more in me.
PROBST:
Whoa.
That was a big prediction.
[laughs]
All right,
for today's challenge,
you're gonna race
through a series of obstacles.
Once you're through,
you'll retrieve a rope
and use it to drop a bridge.
You'll then cross that bridge
and retrieve a key,
then climb to the finish,
where you will use that key
to unlock your puzzle pieces.
Once you've finished
your puzzle,
it will reveal the solution
to a combination lock.
First person
to solve their combination
and bang their gong...
wins immunity,
guaranteed a spot
in the final four,
which means you cannot
be voted out of this game.
At the very least,
you're making fire
for a shot to get to three.
In addition, playing for reward.
-I knew it.
-Want to know
what you're playing for?
-Yes.
-CHARLIE: Oh, yeah.
The winner will be taken
to the sanctuary,
where good things happen,
for pasta...
-Oh.
-Caesar salad,
-Oh. Nice. Yes.
-garlic bread,
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
-macaroons,
chocolate pudding,
-Mm-hmm.
-wine and soda.
Losers, Tribal Council,
where somebody will be
the 14th person voted out,
become the seventh member
of our jury.
Everybody knows this.
I got to say it.
Maria, if you win
today's challenge,
-you join an elite group
of four women.
-Wow.
The only four women
in the history of Survivor
to win four
individual immunity challenges.
A lot at stake.
Draw for spots. We'll get it on!
-Here we go.
-PROBST: Here we go.
-Let's do it, let's do it.
All right, here we go.
For a guaranteed spot
in the final four.
Survivors ready?
Go!
First, you're going
through a muddy net.
-You're gonna
get covered in mud.
-LIZ: Oh, my God.
-It doesn't matter.
It's day 24.
-[Charlie groaning]
You want to get to day 25.
Right here!
Everybody struggling
through that net.
Charlie's gonna be out first.
Use the water if you need it.
You're gonna need your eyes
to see.
Ow!
-PROBST: Kenzie's through!
-Ooh!
PROBST:
Maria's through.
Ben is through.
Now you're pulling out rope
to release that plank.
The only way through
is to pull that plank out
and then cross.
Here comes Liz.
Everybody working
on their ropes.
Every second could count
in this challenge.
Charlie down to his last bit.
Plank's out. He's good.
Maria's got her plank out.
She's good.
It is Maria and Charlie
at opposite ends.
Here comes Kenzie.
Charlie through
the next obstacle.
Maria's through it.
Charlie's dropped
his monkey's fist.
Maria has hers.
Here comes Kenzie.
Now you've got
to drop your bridge,
using that ball of rope.
Kenzie has hers!
-Ooh. Yay!
-PROBST: She's in this.
Here comes Ben.
-Liz now in the tunnel.
-[grunting]
Ben's got his. He's good.
Maria with a nice toss.
That's gonna do it.
Maria first to drop her bridge.
Charlie drops his bridge.
Now retrieve your key.
We are neck and neck right now
with Charlie and Maria.
Here comes Liz.
-Aah!
-PROBST: Ben a little short.
Maria has her key.
She's heading up.
Maria now in the lead.
Charlie has his key.
He's heading up.
Kenzie drops her bridge,
working on her key.
Now you got to climb up
and unlock those puzzle pieces.
Ben and Liz still working
to drop their bridge.
Liz has her bridge dropped.
Ben's got it. Liz heading up.
Kenzie has her key.
Ben working on his key.
Liz looking for her key.
-Ugh!
-She forgot it.
-Ugh!
-She's got to come back down
and go get it.
Maria working on her puzzle.
Kenzie working.
Charlie working.
Ben has his key.
He's up top now,
working on his puzzle.
Liz had to go all the way back.
She forgot her key.
Day 24, final five challenge,
huge stakes.
Reward is secondary.
You want immunity right now.
Here comes Liz
heading back up again.
We're gonna have everybody
on the puzzle.
Another complicated
Survivorpuzzle.
It'll give you
all the information you need
to solve that combination lock.
Then you bang that gong
and you're good.
Kenzie making a lot
of progress on this puzzle.
Charlie getting
a little more momentum now.
You cannot slow down.
Do not stop digging right here.
We are very close.
Kenzie and Maria.
Maria with another piece.
Kenzie down to six pieces.
Maria at nine.
Kenzie with another piece.
And another.
Kenzie down to four pieces left.
Guaranteed spot at four.
Everybody else
vulnerable tonight.
Kenzie, one piece left.
She's got the puzzle done.
-Oh, my God.
-Now what?
♪
New twist in this challenge.
You think the puzzle is the end,
but it's not.
You've got to read the puzzle.
Everything you need
is on the puzzle.
Maria now closing in
on her puzzle.
Holes in your plank?
Confusion now.
What is happening?
PROBST:
We've never seen this before
in a challenge.
Liz now running back,
appears to be
going to help Kenzie.
Got to go over the obstacles.
Maria has her puzzle finished.
Now she's working on it.
Everything up in the air now.
It's Kenzie trying
to figure out the combination,
Maria trying
to figure out the combination.
PROBST:
The puzzle contains information
you need
to finish this challenge.
Maria now gonna head back out.
Got to go over
all the obstacles.
Here comes Liz, coming back.
She's carrying the plank.
The only guess
is she is helping Kenzie.
Maria now moving
through those rope rungs
as fast as she can.
Liz now here
with Kenzie's plank.
Maria on her own,
trying to get her plank
and get back here.
They've got what they need.
Can they figure it out?
PROBST:
No!
PROBST:
Something got to be wrong.
Here comes Maria.
She's got her plank.
Kenzie and Liz working together.
Maria on her own.
Immunity on the line.
Thirty-five.
PROBST:
Kenzie has it, bangs the gong.
-It is over.
-Yes! Oh, my God!
-Yes!
-With the help of Liz,
-Yes, yes, yes!
-Kenzie's won
her second immunity challenge,
guaranteed a spot
-in the final four.
-KENZIE: Oh, my God.
You deserve it and more.
PROBST:
Maria just a little short.
KENZIE:
Maria.
Good job.
Wow.
Another unpredictable moment
in an absolutely unpredictable
season of Survivor.
LIZ:
You're a badass.
It takes two to beat you.
You're a badass, Maria.
-KENZIE: Yeah,
you're incredible, Maria.
-LIZ: Seriously.
Kenzie, come on over.
-Yeah.
-For the second time
this season,
-individual immunity is yours.
-Dude.
-You are guaranteed a spot
in the final four.
-Yeah.
It means you will never
be voted out this season.
-Yeah.
-At the very least,
-Kenzie!
-Go, Kenzie!
-you got a shot at making fire.
Yeah, I can-I can taste it.
You know, I... [whoops]
Thank you so much, Liz.
Like, Maria, you're incredible.
Like, we had to team up
to beat you.
Like, that just proves, like,
what an amazing competitor
you are. It just made sense.
When Liz saw she wasn't
gonna finish her puzzle,
it was just like,
"Okay, girl, we got to go."
Maria, it is one of the most
interesting facets of Survivor--
is that the better you are,
the bigger the target you are.
I take it as a compliment,
honestly.
Like, I have exceeded
my expectations out here,
and if it took two people
to beat me, then, like,
it's a big compliment to me
-and good for them
for teaming up.
-It is a compliment.
You know, it's not over
until you snuff my torch.
PROBST:
All right, so here's
what's gonna happen.
You're gonna leave here,
go to the sanctuary.
-CHARLIE: Wow.
-Yeah.
-You're choosing one person.
Who are you gonna take with you
to the sanctuary?
I'm torn because,
Liz, you helped me,
but Ben's the only one
who's never seen it.
-Like, what...
-I'd go with Ben.
I'm allergic to pasta.
-KENZIE: Oh, okay.
-Are you serious?
-Yeah.
-Bennie boy.
You haven't seen
the sanctuary yet.
All right, so here's
what's gonna happen.
You two are gonna
head out to the sanctuary.
-Okay.
-You'll return back to camp
in time for Tribal Council.
-Grab your stuff, head out.
-Do I get a hug?
-Oh.
-Buddy hug. I love buddy hugs.
-Let's go.
-Thanks, Jeff.
-Congrats.
Thank you.
Down the steps, hang a right.
Boat'll pick you up.
-KENZIE: Thank you so much.
-BEN: Thanks, Liz.
-LIZ: Have fun.
-KENZIE: Thanks.
Let's go chill hard, buddy.
-Let's go chill hard!
-PROBST: All right,
Maria, Charlie, Liz, got nothing
for you. Grab your stuff.
Head back camp. See you tonight
at Tribal Council where somebody
will be the 14th person
voted out,
seventh member of our jury.
-See you tonight.
-Jeff.
-Thank you.
LIZ: Yes, what I did
was wild, but
I'm trying
to make it to the end.
And honestly,
that's all I care about.
It seems like a no-brainer
that tonight is Maria's night.
But this isSurvivor.
This is the final five.
Anything can happen.
KENZIE:
I can't believe I won immunity.
Dude. And it was, like,
the most important
-and sickest
immunity of the season.
-And the po...
I didn't care
which one of us won it
as long as it wasn't Maria.
-Damn right.
-Oh. Cheers.
My dude.
-To chillin' mad hard.
-To chillin' mad hard.
Going into
the immunity challenge today,
there was one common goal,
and it was for Maria to not win.
And Liz helped me win immunity,
which I was surprised at.
She is so unpredictable.
She's like
a secret assassin.
This is heaven.
It's a perfect day, and
I'm not getting voted out, eve.
I'm here to stay, baby.
Like, I'm going to final four
whether y'all like it or not.
Honestly, today is,
like, amazing for me.
-Like, winning...
-Because the high
is so high today.
-Like...
-I know, and, like,
I get to be out here
-with, like, my Survivorbestie.
-Oh, my God, it's sick. [laughs]
It was so sick Kenzie picked me
for the reward today
because in this game,
you hope to make alliances,
and then you make a real friend
with a person like Kenzie.
Like, how can you not feel
grateful to shred
in a situation like this?
When I go home,
I just have to catch up
on all the things
I ignored for years
'cause I was too busy
trying to rock my hardest.
-Gonna get my driver's license.
-Hell yeah.
-That's a good place to start.
-Yeah.
If you want to be an adult,
-we should get
a driver's license.
-Exactly.
On top of that,
we're sitting in Fiji,
overlooking one of the most
epic landscapes of all time.
It's such a vibe.
It's, like, electric, almost.
What do we do when we get back?
I don't want to come in cocky
and be like,
"Oh, Maria tonight," you know?
Feels, like, too perfect.
I would be shocked
if something crazy happened.
BEN:
I think we're all
on the same page
'cause the enemy is so common.
Maria is a whole-package threat.
Multiple immunities,
decimated people's gameplay,
played an epic game
of deception.
So, unless she finds an idol
or pulls a blindside,
Maria's done.
MARIA:
Well, that was a fun challenge.
-It was fun, Maria.
-CHARLIE: Oh, my God.
-It was fun.
-I do love you, dude.
-I love you, too.
You're just such
a friggin' competitor, dude.
I love you, too.
Thank you for saying that.
-I'm just really scared
of going home.
-Don't worry about it.
-Don't worry about it.
-I still really...
-I'm still really scared.
-You know what?
-I'm so proud of myself.
-CHARLIE: Liz going over
to Kenzie to help
to take down Maria--
that says, to me,
Liz is here to play.
MARIA:
I'm gonna spend the afternoon
looking for idols.
If I can find one,
I'm gonna pretend
-I don't have one.
-CHARLIE: Yup.
And then you and I take out
whoever we want to take out.
I think, that's... I mean...
After last Tribal Council,
I made sure that my door
to work with Maria was open.
'Cause I didn't know
what today would bring.
So, I want to solidify Maria
as my champion
if she's going home tonight,
and as someone
who's gonna work with me
if she finds an idol.
-We just should just check
-Mm-hmm.
tree mail, water well,
underneath,
-and then go the back way,
-Yes.
-and then go back down
to the beach.
-Okay.
MARIA: It's really hard
to come back to camp
knowing that
Liz just worked against me.
I'm, like, super pissed.
But at the same time,
I'm like, "Damn." Like,
maybe it just takes
two people to beat me.
This is cool. This feels like
it would be a good
-"tied to a branch" tree.
-Mm-hmm.
MARIA: My plan from here
is to find an idol
or convince somebody
to work with me.
MARIA:
I think Charlie has
forgiven me and would
work with me,
but that's not enough.
We need one more person.
Let's go! Let's go!
MARIA:
So,
today is definitely gonna
be an uphill climb
in the snow, barefoot.
I've just never been one
to give up. Like, I just...
It's not in me to give up.
[chuckles] Hi. You coming
to keep tabs on me?
No, I was just looking
to talk to you.
Oh.
Here's my pitch to you.
You got to know
that, like, with Ben,
I've distrusted him
since day one.
-That's why
we're not working together.
-Yeah.
Like, the fact that
he's trying to convince you
that he accidentally
wrote "Kenzie."
-You wouldn't...
-I've never believed
-he accidentally wrote "Kenzie."
-But that's what I'm saying.
You're about to move forward
with somebody
who's so deceptive,
and I'm telling you,
-I'm an open book.
-Yeah.
I just don't think
I can beat you.
-I think I can beat Ben.
-Yeah.
KENZIE:
Maria's selling
Ben writing my name down
a couple of days ago
wasn't an accident.
She is
fighting for her life right now,
which I respect,
but she's almost making
her argument worse
by being so convincing.
I'm like, "No,
you're even more dangerous."
Her pitching Ben is foolish.
There's no way any of us
are gonna fall for that.
MARIA:
I'm gonna put myself out there.
-LIZ: Mm.
-Big time, 'cause I got
nothing to lose.
-Yeah.
-Ben wrote Kenzie's
name down on purpose.
-That was not an accident.
-Hmm.
And he lied to her face, and
-he's been lying to her face.
-LIZ: Wow.
Ben's been playing a game
that nobody knows,
and he's very charismatic.
He is fully capable
of pulling something out
at Final Tribal.
He could come out and say,
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
"None of you even knew
-that I was doing this."
-Yeah.
What if he has this,
like, rocking story?
I have no idea.
That's the scary part.
MARIA:
Taking Ben to the final three
is dangerous.
-Yeah.
-MARIA: And I think the decision
is in your hands, really.
LIZ:
Well, we would
all have to do that.
I know that this is crazy,
but Maria really got to me
about Ben and the unknown.
If he drops a b*mb or two,
it might be just enough
for him to win the game.
That's terrifying.
I've been so focused
on trying to get Maria out,
but is that really
what is best for Liz?
Ben, Ben, Ben.
CHARLIE:
If you told me this morning
Maria goes to Liz
and pitches Ben
as the vote out tonight,
I would have
laughed you off of Fiji.
But it seems like Liz
is willing to do
something different tonight.
KENZIE:
We're all just
voting Maria, right?
-Yeah.
-Like, why does tonight
feel so heavy
when it should be so easy?
CHARLIE:
Maria has a lot
of enemies in this game.
Ben, on the other hand,
has friends on the jury.
He's a great storyteller,
he's charismatic, and we've
been together since day one.
So I'm worried the jury
might see us as similar player.
He could easily get
some of my jury votes,
and that's dangerous.
I don't know.
MARIA:
I am so scared because tonight
could be the end for me.
I've done all I can do,
but if I can pull off this mov,
I'm gonna win this game.
And so, tonight
is a massive night.
It's do-or-die for me.
♪
♪
All right.
Let's just get right into it.
Today was an interesting day
at the challenge.
Kenzie's in the lead.
Maria's on her tail.
And at that point,
Liz decides,
"I'm gonna help Kenzie."
And it worked.
Kenzie wins individual immunity.
Congratulations.
But, Maria,
where does that sit, knowing
that they were working together
to make sure you didn't win?
Honestly, I have
no hard feelings at all.
I think at 47
with three small kids at home
and three immunity challenges
under my belt,
I hold my head up high,
and I feel
super proud
of the game that I played.
PROBST:
And I just want to say,
there are a lot of people
that look at Survivornow
and feel like
it's a younger person's game,
but then somebody
like you shows up
and says, "Oh, no, no.
"Oh, I still got game.
I got a lot of game."
And, Ben, the better you are,
the bigger the target.
That's just how
the game goes, you know?
Maria's a great player.
I still think
she is the MVP of the season.
But no hard feelings.
We all have to outlast,
outplay, outwit, outshred,
whatever it is.
The bottom line is
we have to play the game.
PROBST:
Kenzie, what Ben
is saying is that
you do develop relationships,
and sometimes
they become like this,
but then sometimes they do this.
Doesn't mean you can't
play the game with somebody,
but it does mean
if I have the opportunity
to take you out, I might.
And it sounds like Ben
is saying, "I have no problem
writing
Maria's name down tonight."
-Am I getting this right?
-Yeah, definitely.
KENZIE:
Yeah. Maria's incredible.
Like, an amazing woman.
-Thank you.
-KENZIE: I admire you.
I respect you.
I love you deeply.
And that is what's
crazy about Survivor,
is that I can look someone
in the face and be like,
"You could kick my ass
up and down this game."
So I have to write
your name down tonight.
-I totally understand.
-KENZIE: Because...
...you would beat all of us.
You're amazing.
-You are wonderful.
-Thank you, Kenzie.
-I love you.
-I love you, too.
Liz, Ben and Kenzie
have been very open.
They're voting Maria.
So, where are you?
I'm just ready
to focus on the game.
Sometimes I'm like
a horse with blinders on.
When I was helping Kenzie
with the puzzle today,
I wasn't thinking
about Maria's feelings.
Afterwards, I was definitely
thinking about her feelings
and what a jerk I looked like.
And so it's really hard,
but Maria and I, we're like
two ships passing in the night.
Like,
we could have been the, like,
most dynamic duo out here,
but for some reason, instead
of attracting each other,
we just kept getting further and
further apart with each vote.
Charlie, where are you
with Maria?
Yeah, so...
Maria and I have worked
really side by side
a lot of this game.
We've got 24 days together.
You know,
you have people that you
build these insane bonds with,
and then you have to
vote each other out.
Tonight, it's almost like
a sibling rivalry moment.
PROBST:
Maria, from my vantage point,
you've been very gracious
about handling this pressure
and having a target
and even having them
double-team,
trying to get at you.
How are you able
to play the game
as hard as you've played
but also understand,
"You're coming for me.
If you can get me,
you should get me."
Um, I think any competitor
knows how to win
and knows how to lose.
And I can honor and respect
any move that takes down
a fierce competitor like myself.
There's also
the knowledge that
my kids are watching.
My kids are watching tonight.
You know? And I plan
on walking out of here
with my head held high.
[sniffles] I'm proud of myself,
I'm proud of my game,
and I know that they're
gonna be proud of me.
And being ungracious-- like,
that's not
what I want them to do.
And so I'm going to be
an example to them.
PROBST:
Where does that come from?
I guess it comes
from my upbringing.
You know, I'm-I'm an immigrant.
I come from Beirut, Lebanon, and
you know, I grew up
with, I guess,
an environment of survival.
You know, work hard,
be determined
and to be honest
and to be respectful
and to be gracious
and to be humble.
And I think to myself,
"My husband and I
are raising three boys,
"and Daddy is strong as hell.
But you know what?
Mommy is, too."
PROBST:
Well, it's a tough
transition to make,
but it is time to vote.
Maria, you're up.

The final four challenge
is the most important challenge
of the entire game.
Especially for me,
because I'm so nervous
about fire-making.
I have this
really weird condition
where the ligaments on my wrist
are too big for my body.
And so my joints are constantly

PROBST:
You're gonna have a timer
in the form of a giant
Survivor pinball table.
Here's how it works.
You're gonna start by rolling
your ball up an inclined ramp.
While the ball is making
its way back down the ramp,
you can work on your puzzle.
When the ball
reaches the bottom,
you got to stop,
grab your ball, roll it again.
But if you fail
to get your ball
before it hits the metal track,
then you have to wait
as the ball slowly
makes its way to the bottom.
And during that time,
you can't work on your puzzle.
So during this entire challeng,
your focus is going to be spli,
making it very difficult
to concentrate.
But you're still in.
You're not out.
You're still in.
-Yeah, that's sick.
-Just whoever

why you deserve the title
of Sole Survivor and the million

That's what I'm talking about.
Dude, you crushed it.
Charlie's really good at fire,
but the hardest part is
Charlie's been my number one
from day one.
I love the kid.
And the other side is Kenzie.
She's been one of the best
friends I made out here,
and she's been my number one
through my panic att*cks.
She's been a sweetheart.
There you go, Kenzie.
I don't know how I'm gonna
lean one over the other.
I have to think wisely.
It's heavy, bro.
I'm stuck between
a rock and a hard place.

[quietly exclaims]
BEN:
'Sup, Jeff.
CHARLIE:
Jeff.

PROBST:
All right.
We get to our final
immunity challenge.
On the surface,
it's very simple.
Just solve the Survivor
logo puzzle in front of you.
But there was a twist.
Ben,
you were the only person
that didn't
make any mistakes
in the challenge.
Explain that, because
you walked in and said,
"I am all over the place today,"
and yet something
crystallized, and you were
perfect in that challenge.
BEN:
You know, I didn't
go into that challenge
expecting to win.
I said that 'cause it was true.
I haven't been able to sleep.
Night terrors, panic att*cks.
It's just very, very brutal.
For some reason, today,
I just decided
to say, "This is it.
I'm just gonna go for it."
I don't know. I had a blast.
It just came together.
PROBST:
Charlie, you were
in it for a while,
but a couple of mistakes
cost you this challenge.
What did you reflect on
this afternoon?
Today's immunity challenge
is potentially
the one with the most power
of the season.
Ben's, of course, safe tonight,
but tonight he can do
whatever the heck he wants.
So...
it was a lot of reflecting,
but there's not much
time for reflection
when all I was really doing
was making fires all day.
Kenzie, you were very close.
Would have been your third
individual immunity win.
You, too, had issues,
not with getting the ball late,
but with just
getting the ball up the ramp,
and those few extra tosses
were the difference.
You were a few pieces behind.
Yeah, I was three pieces behind.
And they will probably
haunt me forever.
Like, crumbles. I'm happy
for my friend, but here we are.
Liz, what was
your experience today?
"Liz, you're the biggest threat.
"You're definitely
going to fire.
I don't know
who's going against you."
-Yeah.
-LIZ: And then I just
fell apart,
'cause I suck at fire.
And, um, I knew this was
the one hole in my game.
And I'm gonna go to fire.
I mean,
he's totally right.
I've never
had my name written down,
so, he's smarter than he looks.
-[chuckles]
-So, Ben, you had
one easy decision.
-You knew Liz, immediately.
-Yeah.
So then the debate became
Kenzie or Charlie.
Yeah. And when it
came down to
Kenzie and Charlie, I mean,
Charlie's the first friend
I made out here.
I know that's not great
when it comes to
talking about your strategy, but
if somebody can give you
a little bit of kindness,
it goes a long way, whether
they know it or not. And
the hard part is
my friendship with Kenzie
is very similar, except
I only met Kenzie at the merge.
But I'd say her impact
on me feeling sane--
it's like, I can't...
I can't oversell it.
Like, I'm playing Survivor,
but I'm hanging out with
my homies and having, like,
a real human experience
that, like,
you know, it sucks that
I have to make this decision.
PROBST:
So, Ben, are you ready
to tell us your decision?
So, it's gonna
be Liz and Kenzie tonight
going at it for fire.
♪
PROBST:
Which means, Charlie,
you made it to the final three.
You will take that second spot.
This is what you dream of,
because
getting to the final three
is as much as any player can do.
You've gone as far as
you can go. What's the feeling?
CHARLIE:
I'm grateful to Ben,
you know, in this moment.
Because of the relationship
and the bond that we've built,
he's gonna take me
to the final three.
And getting there with that bond
means just as much to me
as making fire.
PROBST:
Kenzie, what's it like
to hear that
when you can hear a little bit
of emotion in Ben's voice,
and he's very clearly saying,
"It wasn't easy for me because
of love and friendship"?
KENZIE:
Yeah. There is emotion. Like,
we have, like,
fallen in love with each other,
and it's so complicated.
But at the same time,
as annoyed as I am
that I have to do this,
I am grateful that I'm not
getting my name written down
and that I get a chance
to try, you know?
That's exciting.
[laughs]
We're gonna
give it our all, baby.
It's down to the ladies tonight.
[chuckles]
Like, it is what it is.
All right, it is time
for the final four
fire-making challenge.
The winner will take the third
and final spot at our final
Tribal Council.
Kenzie, Liz...
take your spots.
♪
All right. So, you both
have the same fire-making kit.
In seasons past,
we have sent this kit
out to your camp
so you could practice.
We did not do that this season.
This is new to you.
All you had
was a knife and a flint.
So, forget about
setting a record.
This is about being faster
than the other person.
Who can make fire fastest
and get it to burn hot enough,
long enough
to burn through that rope?
That's what
we're gonna find out.
The person who does that
will make it to the final three.
Are you both ready?
-Ugh. No.
-[chuckles]
This is as good as it's gonna
get, Jeff. [chuckles]
-Liz?
-Okay.
All right.
This challenge is on.
Begin.
Takes three things to make fire.
You need heat.
You're gonna get that heat
by striking your flint,
trying to get a spark,
some friction.
Then you need fuel.
That's gonna
be kindling or some hessian.
And then once you get a flame,
you need oxygen.
You got to let it breathe,
so it can get big enough
to burn through that rope.
Okay.
Liz going for a spark.
Liz has a baby flame.
Fudge.
No fire yet.
Kenzie, a lot of prep.
Unusual approach.
Oh, my God.
PROBST:
Liz, a lot of spark.
And a little bit of a flame.
Aw...
It dies.
and the pressure.
This could literally be
a million-dollar fire
you are making right now.
Oh.
What is happening?
It's pressure. Keep digging.
You're both in it, clearly.
Okay.
-Oh, my...
-Kenzie.
PROBST:
Kenzie's got
a little bit of a flame.
Now she's got to nurture it.
It's got to breathe.
Don't want to suffocate it.
Now Liz has
a little bit of a flame.
And out.
Kenzie still working.
So long as
she doesn't smother it.
Ow.
PROBST: Kenzie continues
to nurture that fire.
Oh, God.
PROBST: Liz now has flame.
Can she get this one to stick?
No.
[groans]
PROBST:
Kenzie's fire starting
to take now.
Medium-sized fire.
Now it's starting to just
light the fibers of that rope.
It's really going now.
That's burning that rope.
-Oh, my God.
-PROBST: That is a fire
that's gonna get you a spot
in the final three.
-And there it is.
Kenzie's done it.
-Oh, my God!
PROBST:
She has earned the final spot
-at the final three...
-Oh...
-Come on, you knew

Kenzie, let's start with you.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
-PROBST: You've
made the final three,
-Amazing.
-Thank you.
-you earned your way in.
What is the feeling right now?
I know it's been
-an emotional 25 days.
-[Kenzie exhales]
Yeah, I mean, I...
I've been
at the bottom since Yanu,
and I've been earning it
the whole way,
so it just made sense.
And it's so ironic
that we set the record
for the longest time
without flint, and...
Earlier today, when I couldn't
catch a fire, I was like,
"Of course my journey's
gonna end without fire.
It started without fire."
But I redeemed myself
with that today.
It's just really overwhelming.
Like, my... I couldn't
get a flame all day today.
So my confidence was shot.
I was like, "Well, you know..."
I'm just very grateful.
I earned it.
Liz, I know you've had
some very fun times
and you've had
some very low lows.
What's the big takeaway
from this journey?
You learn
so much about yourself,
and the game is so much bigger
than you think it is.
[sniffles]
But I am very proud of my game.
It was really over for you guys.
It really was.

really scary because

[whooping]
CHARLIE:
Oh, my God, it's so good.
Guys, we're eating
like humans again.
I'm chilling hard today,
but tonight,
I have to give the performance
of a lifetime.
My game was a game of honesty
built around being myself
and relying on my social cards.
Everybody called me
a vibe person.
Tonight is about showing
that a vibe or chillin' isn't
about being one-dimensional.
It's not me using it
as a gimmick.
It's about showing
I played a hard game
from day one.
Q:
Ben outwitted,
outlast, outplayed us.
The game he played
was to rock out
and fly underneath the radar.
If he can articulate
that he was behind moves,
he could receive Q's vote.
SODA:
Ben shreds,
Ben rips, Ben rocks.
That's who Ben is.
He's a social threat
playing an emotional game
that really worked for him,
but it's "outwit,
outplay, outlast,"
not "outlove."
My game has been about adapting
and knowing when
to sit back and when to step up.
I had a fake idol play.
I was a huge part in taking out
the biggest threats in the gam,
and I beat Liz in fire-making.
My biggest challenge tonight
with the jury is that
I've written a lot
of their names down.
I don't think
anybody's holding back tonight.
I know I'm not.
Like, g*ns are blazing.
I know my story's better
than Charlie and Ben's.
It's just about how I sell it.
VENUS: Kenzie's social game
was brilliant.
I don't think there's a single
person who disliked her or
didn't get along with her,
but I want to hear
from her specifically
what moves she made.
You have to have played the gae
to earn my vote.
TIFFANY:
Kenzie is somebody
who cares about people,
and I do believe that that's wy
she lasted so long in the game.
Friendship aside,
gameplay at the forefront,
I deeply feel that she's
the best candidate right now.
CHARLIE:
I had power in the game
to send home
who I thought...
I had power in the game
to send home...
or to work with
who I thought
was going to be able
to carry me forward
another vote.
I played a very strategic game
worthy of the title
of Sole Survivor.
I built alliances, constantly.
I never closed a door to anyon.
I've always made sure
that I put myself in a position
where I was safe,
but I also had power.
But a lot of what I did
was in the shadows.
Tonight, I want to pull back
the curtain on what I've done.
The biggest hurdle
is what the heck is the jury
thinking of me?
HUNTER:
Charlie has done a good job
of having his finger
on the pulse.
And he's also been winning
immunity challenges,
and so, he has, potentially,
a story to tell
that is worth a million dollars.
MARIA: Charlie and I worked
together so long
that I'm pretty sure
I know all of his moves,
except when it came
to him trying to take me out.
But my criteria
is not friendship.
I want to make sure that
the person I write down tonight
deserves this money.
KENZIE:
Is there anything
on your Survivorbucket list
you didn't get to do?
Uh, win Sole Survivor?
No, I'm kidding.
-[laughs]
-Not yet.
That one's still up for grabs.
VENUS:
There's always a chance
to change the jury's minds.
Every single person
can sway me
with what they have to say.
Q:
It's not won yet.
You can go in and change minds,
so don't blow it.
SODA:
I'm not just gonna
hand money out.
You need to have done something.
MARIA:
If you can't
connect the dots for me,
I can't give you my vote.
TEVIN:
What did you do?
Tell me that and stand on it.
If you can do that,
you'll get my vote.
LIZ:
Right now, I have no idea
who I'm gonna vote for.
TIFFANY: A million dollars
is a lot of money.
I'm not just giving it to you
'cause you cute or we homies.
HUNTER:
I'm about
to give somebody
a million dollars.
Show that you knew
what you were doing and why
you deserve to win this game.
All right.
Charlie,
Kenzie, Ben--
glad to see smiles.
You should be smiling.
You made it to the final three.
You did what
You survived every Tribal
that you went to.
And now, one of the most
unique aspects
of Survivoris that
the power shifts
from this side to the jury.
Eight players who also
were in this game
but were voted out--
they decide who wins
based on who they think
played the best game.
Tonight, you have one job.
Convince them it's you.
This is where you step up
and claim your victory,
that you're the one
deserving of the title
of Sole Survivor
and the million-dollar check
that goes along with it.
Jury, I'm gonna
give you a moment,
and we'll get started
with our final Tribal Council.
All right, let's get
into our final Tribal Council.
We've been forming the jury
for many days.
Tonight is
your first opportunity
to ask them the questions
you need to decide
who played the best game.
Let's get into it.
Who wants to get us started?
-I will.
-Go, Tiff.
Well, first of all,
good evening.
And on behalf of myself
and everybody sitting here
on the jury,
we want to say congratulations
on making it to final three.
We have very specific questions
for you guys tonight,
and we're looking
for very specific answers.
Also, please understand,
we are not looking
for Taylor Swift lyrics.
We are not looking
for pop culture
or rock and roll references.
We are looking
for serious
and thought-provoking responses.
And with that being said,
can you articulate one move
that you made on your own
that changed the course
of the game?
I would like Ben to go first.
That's a hard one.
For me, I got dealt a hand
that really sucked
when I entered the merge,
and I had to rely
on my social game.
I felt one thing
that I did help contribute to
that was sort of a move, was go
to the people who had given me
an opportunity to talk
and people
who had been on the outs
of their crew,
bringing people together, mainly
going to Kenzie,
Charlie and Liz.
TIFFANY: So, your move
was that you brought Kenzie,
Charlie, and Liz together to
change the course of the game?
-Of getting me out.
-Of getting Q out to... Okay.
-Yeah.
Which was late, but again,
like I said, I was not dealt
-the best hand.
-TIFFANY: Charlie,
you have something
-to say?
-CHARLIE: Yes.
Just, on that point,
when this alliance
came together,
Kenzie, Ben, Liz
and Venus all wanted Q out
in the final seven vote.
But a big part
of my game was making sure
that there was a four
going into six,
'cause I needed Q and Maria
as shields,
and if Q had gone out there
when Maria
won immunity at final six,
I, probably, am sitting
on the jury.
-Okay, well, since we're on you,
can you tell me what
-Yeah.
-the move is that you made that
changed the course of the game?
-My... The move
that I would pick
would be the Hunter vote.
At the Hunter vote, there was
actually an initial plan
from Kenzie
to blindside you, Tiff.
But Hunter's
a real social threat
and strategic threat,
especially given
he's got strong allies
of Soda and Tevin on the jury.
That was also the day
that I beat Hunter
in individual immunity.
You know, that was, to me,
a big accomplishment.
So I thought that was the time
to go after Hunter
and build out my options.
HUNTER:
Not to take away the move
that you made,
but I came into this Tribal
gonna play my idol.
I had the Shot in the Dark
and the idol in my pocket.
And the person that
actually convinced me not to
is, uh, Kenzie.
She, like, sold me on that.
TIFFANY:
Okay, thank you.
-Kenzie?
-KENZIE: Okay, so, post-merge,
I wanted Tim to go.
I knew I couldn't beat him, and
a lot of us had that thought.
But at the same time,
Tiff and Q,
who were my number-one allies,
did not like Ben at all.
So it was back and forth between
Tim and Ben all afternoon.
Q would come over to me and be
like, "It's Ben. Let's vote Ben.
-He has the idol."
-Q: No, no, no.
-I was never gonna vote Ben.
-KENZIE: To me...
Tiff?
-I have to agree with Kenzie.
We went back and forth
-No.
-Thank you. Yes, you did.
-several times
between Tim and Ben
that day in the woods,
-which is why I also was upset.
-KENZIE: All day.
-Y'all did, right?
-KENZIE: No, you did.
-You did... with us.
-No, no. No.
You might have woken up
with that Tim,
but you had Ben at 02:00,
you had Tim at 2:30, you had...
-Nope.
-KENZIE: At the last minute,
you said, "Fine, you can
have Ben." And then I said...
-And go Tiff.
-Wait. Tiffany said
-she wanted Ben, not Q.
-I'm saying
-you guys were
arguing about it all day.
-Q: You wanted Ben out.
Q, I'd like for Kenzie
to answer the question.
Well, I'm not about
to argue on this jury right now.
-Right.
-LIZ: I don't want to argue.
-KENZIE: Regardless,
when I was playing
with someone like Q, I can't
fight with that.
Obviously.
He doesn't remember
what he says to me.
You know what I mean?
So I had to play
in a way that Q would hear me
and think it was his idea.
Like, that
was an intentional move
that I wanted
when I won immunity.
We went back and forth all day,
and I was the last one with
the whisper that made it happen.
All right, who's up?
Me. The question
I have for each of you is
what is one mistake
that you made in this game
that you were ultimately able
to flip on its head
and capitalize on
to use to your advantage?
-Charlie?
-Okay. V, I'm so glad
this question came from you.
At the very first vote
in merge limbo,
there were-- I don't know--
ten votes for Mo
and one vote for Venus.
Also, after that vote, Q gave me
a big old thump on the back.
And let me tell you,
when Q thumps you
on the back, you notice it.
He took me down to the boat,
lecturing me
on, you know, why
I shouldn't have done that move.
I was very receptive
to everything you said,
and I wanted to, in that moment,
build a relationship
with someone who was
having a lot of power
early in the game.
The next morning,
Q invites me in to the six,
and I was part
of a new alliance.
So-- very fun.
MARIA:
I just want to be clear that
I invited you into the six.
So you came into the six
on my invitation.
Yes, you were my recommendation
letter into the six.
-I didn't have one.
-In hindsight, it's not that...
-It's just not great to be
-It's literally, like...
-No, no, no.
-part of the six.
MARIA: You don't want to be
part of the six. This six is...
TIFFANY:
You probably should have
-just left that part out, then.
-[Hunter mumbling]
-Look at his laugh.
-CHARLIE: I just...
-I love the six, you know.
-Q: Being in the six
-was a one-way ticket home.
-[laughing]
KENZIE:
Like, y'all can keep your six.
HUNTER:
We just never talked about it.
It just was a pathetic excuse
for an alliance.
So, Kenzie, you're up.
-Good-good response, though.
-KENZIE: One mistake
I made was I got cocky.
I wasn't paying attention.
I got confident,
I got comfortable,
and ultimately, Tiff went home.
Tiff and I were like,
"Don't even play the idol, girl.
Like, you'll get into six.
We're good."
-We were riding too high
together, okay?
-We were.
I'll be the first to admit it.
I got cocky, too, girl.
-That's why I'm over here.
-KENZIE: Yeah, we...
That hit me like a b*llet train.
I immediately
started rebuilding relationships
with everyone,
paying attention
to who was working with who,
and it became very apparent that
Maria and Q were number ones,
which led the three of us
and Liz coming together
to ultimately
take out the two biggest threats
who had started working together
-at that vote.
-Q: So, of course.
-Yeah.
-Q: Did y'all come together
at six or seven?
'Cause at seven,
why would Ben write your name
as the contingency plan?
'Cause he was drunk on pizza.
That's what I'm saying.
So, I'm confused.
KENZIE:
That is the question
of the hour.
We... we worked together
at seven,
but just because
Ben wrote my name down,
whether it wasn't an accident
or not, I didn't go home.
Well, she had an idol.
If she would've played it,
you would have.
Maybe.
But we were working together,
and we all ultimately decided.
That is true.
KENZIE:
Yeah. Thank you, Liz.
But just to address
the-the accidental voting.
-Yeah.
-TEVIN: I know you had
ate pizza, but were you
a bit lackadaisical
in the tribe, and you weren't...
-you listening during Tribal,
and that's...
-BEN: No.
I think, on top of me having
pizza in my stomach,
I have been having night terrors
since about day 13 or 14.
The truth is I lost my bearings.
I was really as out of it
as it could be.
-Yeah. Okay. Got it.
-And we can all appreciate that.
There's a lot of us looking back
at Tribal Council,
should have seen red flags.
I mean, we're talking
about idol, idol, idol, idol.
And so,
I'll give you the benefit
-of the doubt, you know.
-BEN: Yeah.
Sometimes Tribals are a little
bit crazy, and we miss things.
Yeah.
PROBST:
Who's up?
-Tevin.
-TEVIN: Hi, y'all.
So, my question
to you all tonight
is I want your
one best example of how
you used one of us
sitting up here on the jury
to further your game
and make it to the final three.
-Let's start with Ben.
-BEN: All right.
At some point in the game,
I was stuck
with Q and Maria for, like,
three days straight.
For those three days,
all I was fed was,
"This is what you need to do,
this is who
you shouldn't trust."
Nobody asked me
what my input was on anything.
There was no moment
where it was like, "Hey,
this is what I think
our next move has to be."
-Well, that's the point.
-So, can I ask
the follow-up question?
-BEN: Totally.
-Wouldn't you assert your ideas
-Yeah.
-on the group to try
to make a move of your own?
I took my "chillin' hard"
approach, which was,
"I'm gonna listen,
I'm gonna hear what
they have to say," and using
that information is what I went
to Kenzie with,
I went to Charlie with,
what I went to Liz with,
and it's what allowed me
to slip through the cracks,
whether I was thought of
as a threat or not.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you. Kenzie, you're up.
KENZIE:
So, after the Tiff
blindside, I was
out for blood, and then
I had to manage my emotions.
I wanted Q out
immediately after.
I was so upset, I was so hurt.
But I had to placate
and pretend to go with numbers
to gain Q's trust back
to get back in good graces.
And that's how quick I went from
devastated crying all night,
out for blood to, "Okay,
I'm back working with the guy
"that I want out of here
so I can get him out tomorrow
if I can gain his trust today."
-Great.
-Thank you.
-Excellent.
-Charlie?
-Charlie?
-Concise.
Uh, so, for me, the person
that I used was actually Tevin.
For me, coming into the merge,
Nami was an enigma.
They're either the best actors
in the world
or there are really
cracks everywhere.
-Yeah.
-But there was so much
information going around
because Soda was telling me
she was tight with Tevin,
but here Tevin was
saying he wanted
to blindside Soda, and
what I figured out from that is
that Tevin was the power player.
Okay.
-Thank y'all.
-CHARLIE: Yeah, yeah.
HUNTER:
I got it ready, Jeff.
-Okay. Go, Hunter.
-HUNTER: Okay.
So, last Tribal Council,
Ben was on the hot seat
and had to lay out
a lot of information
as to who he saw as threats,
who can make fire and not.
So, my question is gonna be
for Charlie and for Kenzie.
If you were in Ben's seat,
who would you put in fire
and why would you do it?
I would have put the exact
same thing that Ben did.
I would have gone against Liz.
I know that these two boys
have a similar game
and that I have a better chance
at beating them
than I had beating Liz.
And I would have
taken a chance on myself.
-That's what I would have done.
-HUNTER: Awesome. Appreciate it.
-Charlie?
-Yes. So, if I had won
the necklace that day,
I think I would have done things
a little bit differently.
-Okay.
-I think I would have taken Liz
with me to the final three.
I think, personally,
my game could stack up well
against hers.
I think that's someone
that I could have beat,
-despite her being a threat.
-HUNTER: Okay, well, then,
was there any moment
that you thought,
"Hey, Ben, let me do this?
Let me put myself in,
because Liz isn't the threat"?
My game has been all about
getting to this moment.
So I didn't feel the need
to push insanely hard
to get into fire for a move
that I didn't think was
going to buy me all that much.
HUNTER:
Right, and I appreciate that.
But I hope getting to this point
in a safe way
doesn't hurt you, right?
You said your goal
was to get to this point.
I hope your goal
was to win this game.
You better believe it.
That has been my laser focus
this whole time.
My goal was
to win this freaking game.
Okay.
Yup.
-Soda?
-SODA: Um, I have been
on the jury the longest.
Um, I have been listening,
um, to a lot.
Ben, my take on you was that you
were playing an emotional game
and that you had no agency.
Charlie, my take on you was that
you were playing the middle
very closely with Maria,
but you did not set yourself
apart from her.
And, Kenzie, my take on you
was that you were brought
into votes pre-merge.
And post-merge, you said,
"Tell me who to vote for."
Now, I've heard a lot
of information that,
you know, contests
some of those things,
but I want each of you
to take 30 seconds
to either prove me right
or persuade me why I'm wrong.
Also, I'll be
the 30-second timer.
When I say "time," please stop.
SODA:
Kenzie?
So, I'm a social player.
I'm not the loudest voice
in the room.
I'm not the one
who's gonna be a driving force,
but I am a number, and I am
also thinking strategically.
Like, my social game
is my strategic game.
They are one and the same.
I know
they're supposed to be separate,
but I'm a people person.
I've had deep conversations
with each of you.
I've, like, held half of you
while you've cried
about various things. Like,
yeah, I got
brought along on votes.
That's how I ended up here.
-I'll take it. I'll own it.
It's true.
-TIFFANY: Time.
-I'm not gonna say
I drove a vote. Okay.
-SODA: Time.
Nice ownership. Thank you.
Charlie?
CHARLIE:
Maria and I were
partners in crime
for a lot of the game,
but by the time
Maria was winding back her fist
to throw a punch at me,
I had already
put the pieces in place
that were setting up her demise.
I put together the four
that protected me
from the punch that you and Q
threw at me at final six,
and ultimately voted both of you
out of the game
at six and at five,
exactly how I designed
after the Tiffany vote.
I thought that I needed...
-to differentiate...
-Time.
-Time.
-Ben?
-Oh, yeah. I mean,
I'll definitely agree.
I'm probably
the most emotional person,
most "cries in this game"
this season,
but that's what
I had to do, and it crushed me
that I felt I came
into the merge with this plan
that got wrecked, and
I was very fortunate
that how emotional I was
opened the doors
to make friendships and bonds
that allowed me
to be part of moves
that I wanted to be part of.
And, yeah,
I openly admitted
I was a goat for a few votes.
But when the turn came
to not be that, the only way
-that would have happened...
-Time.
-SODA: Time.
-Yeah. Cool.
Thank you all so much.
I know that was hard, um,
-but you all did great.
-BEN: All good.
Q, you haven't asked a question.
All righty.
The most important thing
for me and my vote
is this simple question.
What do you plan
to do with the money
and how will it change
your life?
-Ben?
-Um, you know, I'm a musician.
I get a lot
of great things in my life,
but I don't make a lot of money.
I want to give my parents
some sort of retirement
'cause they're hardworking
immigrants
that always put food
on the table
and weren't around
because of how hard they worked.
And at the same time,
I want to join up
with my best friend's
nonprofit program and help bring
music education back to schools
in South Florida.
It's an initiative I've already
been a part of called
Young Musicians Unite.
And having an artistic
expression for kids is a way
for them to feel comfortable
with who they are,
which is something
I had to learn the hard way
'cause nobody gave me that
opportunity when I was a kid.
Q:
Thank you, Ben.
-Charlie?
-CHARLIE: Yeah, so,
number one: family is more
important to me than anything.
And to be where I am at
in my life--
you know, I'm 25 years old,
and a million dollars
is a whole lot of money.
Life-changing. I can set up
the rest of my life
for me and my family.
You know, part of this
experience has been
getting to meet
and know all of you.
And if there's one thing
I know, it's that
every single person here
had something
bigger than themselves
they were playing for.
I've talked with a lot of you
about the work that I do.
I've worked a lot
in immigration law.
There's a lot of organizations
that I would want
to make a donation to,
and I would also want to,
you know, bet on myself and pay
for law school with this money.
Thank you, Charlie.
-Kenzie?
-KENZIE: I've been
in my career
since I was 15 years old,
not because it sounded fun.
I would have loved to enjoy
high school like a normal kid.
I couldn't.
I started working in salons
when I was 15,
got my beauty license
by the time I was 17,
opened my salon
by the time I was 24.
I opened it
to give people a place to work.
I don't make any money off
of the chairs that I rent out.
If a business person
looked at my business plan,
they would lose their minds
and be like,
"You could make so much money
off of this."
It's not about the money. The
business is not about the money.
It's about providing people
an opportunity.
So this money
would be mine, for me.
I would invest it and I would
set up myself so I don't have
to be 70 years old
doing bang trims on kids, okay?
-[laughing]
-Like, I'm trying
to set myself up
to have a family
and to be able to be
financially secure in myself.
This was my venture.
My life is...
has been for everyone else.
-Q: Thank you so much.
-No problem.
Q:
Yes, ma'am.
Well done, jury.
Every single question got
different information.
Well done. Thank you.
Charlie, Kenzie, Ben,
I'm gonna give you 30 seconds.
-Okay.
-PROBST: If you think
there was something
not brought up
that is pertinent to your game,
this is your chance to make it.
Charlie, 30 seconds.
A pattern I wanted to highlight
was "never close a door."
Always keep my options open.
Everyone here knows
that I've strategized with them
at one point or another
in the game.
It's what gave me options.
It's what let me see my position
in the game,
stay safe and have power.
That's how I feel like
I got here today,
and I really just wanted to hit
that point home to all of you.
I think I played hard.
Thank you for listening.
-PROBST: Kenzie?
-Thank you.
KENZIE:
Oh, to sum it up, um, I went
on every sanctuary reward
because I am a social butterfly.
I competed
in every single challenge
from the first one
to the fire-making.
Won two of those,
thanks to some help, because
you get by with a little help
from your friends.
I came in here trying to make
friends, and thank you all
for listening. Um...
Yeah. I... I just love you all.
Thank you so much. [laughs]
-Thank you, Kenzie.
-Thank you.
-PROBST: Ben.
Not that I think
it stacks up against them,
but, uh, with everything
I've been through in my life,
I did want to come here
and be the emotional me
and not the bravado frontman
performer version of me.
And even though
I had a hard time
with the night terrors,
I got from the bottom
and had fun
climbing my way through moves
towards the end.
I played the game I wanted
to play, and I'm glad I got
to meet y'all,
because y'all rock, and...
-Q: Thank you.
-Who rocks?
-Thanks, Ben.
-You rock.
-You rock.
TIFFANY:
Thanks, Ben.
-I'll accept that.
-Right. The one, right?
Come on. That's for you there.
-[laughing]
-PROBST: Charlie,
Kenzie, Ben,
it's not easy to sit
in those seats
and defend your game, but
you have to claim your victory,
and one of you just did.
The question is who.
The only thing left to do
is vote.
-[laughing]
-[grunts]
CHARLIE: I love you guys.
