The "Survivor" Finale begins as they always do with a recap of the past 36 days.  How the Heroes got decimated early.  How Russell began turning on fellow Villain Boston Rob and his allies.  Only Sandra remains from Rob's allies and Colby is the last Hero standing.  Opposing them are the core of the Villains:  Russell, Parvati and Jerri.

Night 36 at Camp Yin Yang.  Russell calls out Sandra for having an idol and hiding it.  He also accuses Parvati of knowing about it, which she denies.  He talks with Colby and Jerri about getting rid of Parvati and Sandra.  They agree.  Colby and Jerri chat later, alone, about taking out Parvati first.

Day 37 and Russell thinks his best Jury-Strategy is to take Jerri and Sandra with him to the Final Three.  They gather with Jeff for an Immunity Challenge.  The task is to hold one end a pivoting arm while stacking ceramic dinnerware on the other end.  Jeff tells them which item to place.  After nine pieces, Sandra loses her balance and is out.  Jerri goes after 14 pieces.  Russell follows after 16 items.  Colby and Parvati battle it out with a 17th item placed on the pivoting arm.  Colby loses and Parvati wins her second IC in a row!

Back at camp, Colby gives a surrender speech, tells everyone he won't try to hustle votes.  But that's a lie!  Colby talks with Russell about booting Sandra, as she has less chance of defeating Parvati in a challenge.  Russell considers this, and doesn't trust her anyway. 

At Tribal Council, Colby moans about losing the challenge and compliments Parvati for being such a strong competitor.  He then tells Jeff and the rest about his effort to sway Russell into booting Sandra.  She tells Jeff she's not sure what to believe from anyone.  Parvati is surprised that Colby thinks she would be voted off had he won.  Russell says that all you can do is hope that your alliances hold together.  Colby adds that he tried to find cracks in the Villain alliance.  The vote goes 4-1, Colby votes for Sandra and the Villains boot the last Hero.  The Villains return to camp and Parvati wonders if what Colby said was true?

Day 38 finds Jerri and Russell discussing how today is a must win so they can boot Parvati.  Speaking of which, she returns to camp with tree-mail.  There is a map guiding them to where they must collect tokens from the Fallen Comrades and then set them on fire at a bamboo Burning Man before the last challenge.  We get clips from all of the booted players since Day Three. 

The Final Immunity Challenge is a Maze Race.  Each will be blindfolded and used raised impressions on guideposts to find four stations.  There, they will collect a necklace from each, then find their way out to grab the Immunity Necklace.  Russell and Jerri get an early lead with Parvati close behind.  Sandra is completely lost at first, then uses her ears to locate where the others are.  Russell and Parvati are the first to get their 4th necklaces, followed quickly by Jerri.  It's a close race to the exit, but Russell makes it out first.  However, he passes the pole where the Immunity Necklace is hanging!  He turns around and makes it back just as Jerri and Parvati arrive at the post.  Even Jeff tells them that it is the closest finish ever!

Back at Camp, Jerri is happy that Russell won.  She figures Parvati is doomed.  Russell talks with Sandra and tells her he intends to take her to the finals, because he figures nobody would vote for her.  She agrees, verbally, but thinks she now has a chance to win the grand prize.  Russell tells Jerri that he will tell Parvati that Jerri is the target.  But while taking a walk, Parvati tells Russell that they should boot Sandra instead. 

At Tribal Council, Jerri says that today was the first time she spent the whole day at camp strategizing.  Sandra admits to plotting with Russell.  He tells Jeff that tonight will be the most difficult vote.  Parvati feels vulnerable.  Jerri does call her a threat.  Parvati responds that she has always been loyal to Russell, protecting him several times.  He doesn't think he ever needed any protection from her.  The vote is 3-1 with Jerri voting for Parvati and the rest sending Jerri home.  She's shocked at the results.
