Where Did He Come From?

Where Did He Come From? is the season finale of Survivor: Borneo.

Day 36 (night)
Rattana return to camp having just voted out Razzy from the game. Sarah doesn't hide her excitement for both Razzy's exit and her spot in the final four, jumping up and down upon reaching the shelter. Olivia begins laughing, while Tia remains silent, feeling alone as the last Pagong member. "rattana"

- When we got back to camp the two Tagi girls celebrated. They celebrated the fact that they had got Pagong down to one member, feeling as though they'd both won the game. I looked at Teddy and he kind of did that passive shrug he always does, as if to say 'Oh poor you, I feel so bad, I'm so empathetic'... Like no. You helped vote Razzy out too after leading me on to believe that you were voting WITH me. I now know that I'm pretty much the next to go, unless I can do something magical and work my way to the end.

"rattana"

- Tia decided to throw her thoughts out there back at camp, saying that we need to all think about what we're doing because... Well basically what she said was 'Girls don't go with Teddy, he'll beat you. Teddy don't go with the girls, there's two of them, you wont have the chance to beat them.' People keep raving on about this Tagi final three... It's not even a thing, had Olivia and Sarah been on Pagong I'd probably have voted with them still. I have known for a long time I'd like to separate the two girls before the final three, because that way going into the final challenge its every man for himself... Not two against one.

Day 37
The tribe lay in on day 37, enjoying the calm morning weather. Teddy gets up and begins making some breakfast, noting there is only enough left for three more meals. He watches the sunrise as the rice boils, and is soon joined by Tia, who is eager to save herself from the next elimination. She sits down next to him, bringing up that if he goes with the other two, he will have two people to beat in order to make the final tribal council, where as if he takes her, he will have one person to beat, as she is willing to take Teddy to the end with her.

"rattana"

- Tia and I both made this agreement that we'd vote for one of Sarah or Olivia next tribal, and I'll stick by that. It's just safer for me to have one of them present, because with the two of them it lowers my chances of making the final tribal council. Tia has said she'd take me to the final two, so I'll be going with her deal. However, I never offered Tia final two myself, as its risky to take her over Sarah or Olivia, when both are proven to be disliked by the others in the game.

"rattana"

- I think I might have just saved myself by telling Teddy I'll go with him. I don't intend to fully keep my word to him in this game. I don't want to go to the end with Teddy, but its better to have him present in the final three as he'd take me to the end, that way I don't have to rely on myself solely to win the challenge.

Olivia and Sarah get up from the shelter, sitting with the group as they have breakfast. The group briefly discuss being in the final four.

"rattana"

- To have gotten this far is amazing, and to know that I'm inches away from the final two is even better. The plan is to take out Tia and then Teddy, and for myself and Sarah to make this final two. If that happens then this time next week I'm a hell of a lot richer.

"rattana"

- It's all quite bittersweet right now. I'm the last of my tribe, which is an accomplishment and a saddening fact at the same time. I'm in the final four, but this could be as far as I go. It sucks to think you've got this far just to slip now.

Sarah goes off alone to collect tree mail, finding photo's of the fallen comrades. Sarah spends several moments looking through the photo's, finding them amusing. She returns to camp, informing the tribe that the next immunity challenge will be at tribal council, and that they will have to answer questions based on those who have left the game.

"rattana"

- I feel confident going into this challenge, I've gotten to know other people in the game quite well, and it looks like that'll pay off for me in the long run, because it helps you socially, strategically... and now it helps you in a challenge.

"rattana"

- Myself and Olivia don't have a chance to win this competition. It's a bit unfair because now I was obliged to speak with Uri or Danni or the other guy... Our hope is that Teddy can go into the challenge, win it, then we vote out Tia. If Tia does win immunity, then myself and Olivia have stated that we'll vote out Teddy.

"rattana"

- If Tia wins tonight then I know I'm on the chopping block which isn't great. The good things about that is that it means I can get away with voting out Sarah or Olivia without seeming as though I went for them before they came after me. It would however be nice to not have the girls voting me, because to go home at four would truly suck... If I wanted fourth place I'd have stayed with Eli, Alice and Danni.

The group depart for tribal council, where they are about to face their penultimate immunity challenge, before immediately voting someone from the game.

Challenge: Fallen Comrades

The final four castaways will be quizzed about their fallen cast members. Most correct answers would win Immunity.

Winner: Tia After winning immunity, Tia cheers out loud, while Sarah and Olivia look awkwardly at one another. The group are not given a chance to discuss the vote, having been expected to have done that before tribal. Teddy admits to feeling as though he is about to go into a tie, with Olivia and Sarah stating they know one of them will likely also be in the tie. Olivia speaks up, stating that it'd be best for Tia to "remove a threat", before looking at Teddy. The group go up one by one, casting their votes. "rattana"

- Worst outcome occurred, sorry about this Ted!

"rattana"

- Hey, your a threat... So this isn't all bad. You did good though.

"rattana"

- It's been fun.

"rattana"

- God knows how many this is now...

As the votes come in, the tie becomes a reality, with both Saran and Teddy receiving two votes. Teddy and Sarah both nod, having expected this to occur. Olivia breathes a sigh of relief, knowing she has made the final three. Jeff then gives both Sarah and Teddy a chance to speak, before Olivia and Tia revote, as Teddy and Sarah are both now ineligible to vote.

Tia grabs the urn, taking it back to the voting area, writing down her revote. Olivia goes up next, standing for several seconds before writing a name down. As the re-votes come in, Olivia is revealed to have jumped ship, voting long time ally and friend Sarah out of the game. Sarah laughs, muttering "unbelievable" as she walks over to Jeff, holding her torch. Jeff snuffs Sarah's torch, and she leaves the tribal council area, with a jury of happy faces watching her exit. Teddy turns to Sarah, giving her a single nod, which she doesn't respond to. The group learn that they will be facing their final individual immunity challenge the next day, and that one final contestant will be voted out of the game, leaving two to face the jury on day 39. The final three depart tribal council, all apprehensive as to what is coming their way.

"rattana"

- Hate to have gone before Olivia and Tia... Neither of them really did much... At least I brought beauty to the game. I don't have much to say other than I wish Teddy good luck.

Day 38
The final three are woken up early by Jeff, who has come to inform the group that they will be facing their final immunity challenge momentarily. The group gather their things, and head off to take part in the 'rites of passage'. The group arrive at a sand spit where they are greeted by tribesmen and women who shower the group in paint while they take part in a spiritual activity. "jeff"

- Today, really is for you guys. It is the final rite of passage, of this entire Survivor experience. At the other end of the sand spit is the final immunity challenge, to get there you must first walk through these pawn fronds. The natives are chanting 'the spirit is around you'. Then you all must pass the staffs of your fallen comrades, and as you go, take a moment to reflect on them. You will then pass through the bamboo curtain and walk barefoot across a fire pit where the ambers are burning at twelve hundred degrees Fahrenheit. For thirty nine days this island, sometimes a paradise, sometimes a nightmare, has embraced you as one of its own. We have some mud from the mud volcano, because I feel its important a little piece of the island goes with you in this experience.

The group walk through the passage, reflecting on each contestant as they pass their torches, before reaching the end of the spit. "jeff"

- There have been so many steps along the way that you've stepped through one door into another area. What we want this to be, right now, is a way for you guys to take everything that you've become over the last thirty eight days, and channel it into one powerful experience.

The group begin the challenge, all remaining silent for the first half an hour. Eventually the group briefly talk to one another, trying to put each other off in hopes that they will let go. Jeff asks who feels at risk if they don't win, causing all three contestants to reply with "me". Olivia puts her free hand up while saying "me", nearly slipping off in the process, causing Teddy and Tia to slightly laugh. After two and a half hours, Tia's back leg gives in, and she slips from the podium, leaving Teddy and Olivia as the last two. Tears stroll down Tia's face as she goes to sit down in the sand, knowing her place in the game is now in another contestants hands completely. Four hours into the challenge, Olivia begins to make it clear that she cant last much longer. Before dropping down, Olivia mentions to Teddy that "remember I'm hated", slipping off into the dirt, granting Teddy immunity, and a spot in the final two.

Challenge: Hand on a Hard Idol

Each tribe member held on to the immunity idol while standing on a small log. The person who lasted the longest wins Immunity.

Winner: Teddy The final three return to camp, with Teddy now immune from tribal council, guaranteeing him a spot in the final two. Tia and Olivia both feel bad about the situation, especially Tia, who feels that Teddy would be tough to go against in the end. However, Tia holds out hope that Teddy will take her to the final two, assuming that their deal for the previous tribal meant he would take her to the end and vice versa (although Tia admits she wouldn't have lived up to her end of the deal). Olivia feels as though she has a chance, believing that she could get the votes of Alice, Eli and Sarah if she is to face the jury, and Tia, if she is the one voted out, meaning she would be the winner of Survivor: Borneo. "rattana"

- Tonight Teddy holds the power, but it doesn't worry me too much. I do feel that if I'm given an opportunity I can get him on side with me, and if Teddy takes me to the end I definitely think that there are four individuals on the jury who will vote for me to win this game. I'm actually feeling so excited! Teddy is under the impression I wont win, and I'll play that up, all in hope that he takes me over Tia.

"rattana"

- Sucks that Teddy won because I'd have voted him out... easily. Facing Olivia in the end would be an easy win for me in my opinion, it just sucks that now it'll be me in third or me facing Teddy. Teddy doesn't seem like the kind of guy to go back on his word when it was a blatant deal, so I hold out hope that he'll be keeping me in this game.

Teddy decides to give the girls instructions before scrambling begins.

Teddy goes off to the shoreline, sitting to think about different outcomes that could occur depending on who he picks to face off against in the final two. "rattana"

- To be confirmed as a member of the final two is far greater than anything I've felt in this game so far. I do feel like my odds are really good going into this final tribal, its not just because I'm facing off against Olivia or Tia, but because I genuinely feel I've played a very good game. Yes people will be hurt, but I'm hoping that in the end things can go my way. When I sit up in the final two I don't want 'Where the hell did he come from?' ... I want people to know why I'm up there, and why I deserve the million dollars.

Olivia comes to join Teddy on the beach, giving herself the opportunity to speak with him about taking her to the final two.

"rattana"

- I've done all I can. I've given some truth to Teddy... Well the kind of truth he'd believe. I still keep faith that I can wrangle in quite a few votes when it comes to the final tribal council.

Tia comes to join Teddy on the beach after, checking to see if Teddy will be taking her to the end.

"rattana"

- Teddy is acting all shady now, I swear if he screws me right now I will flip my s**t!

"rattana"

- We're now headin' off to tribal and I've got my bags all with me and its getting really emotional. I don't want to go home. Not now. Not after all I've been through out here (wipes tears)

"rattana"

- Both girls made similar arguments in that the other will beat me in the final two. Maybe they're right... Maybe not socializing with certain people will be my downfall, which is fair enough. But the fact I could lose to one of these two is just... unthinkable. Neither one gave a better argument for me to oust the other, so I need to use the only reliable thing I have out here, my own head. I wont make my mind up until the last minute of tribal, at which point I'll take whoever I feel I can beat in the final two.

At tribal council the jury look on, seeing that Teddy will be one half of the duo facing them at the final tribal council. The only juror showing visible emotion is Sarah, who smiles as she sees Olivia and Tia on the block. Teddy mentions that he is over the moon to be granted a spot in the final two, and that he asked both girls why he should take them over the other, revealing that they both feel they'd be personally easier to beat. Due to not having a clear answer as to who is the least threatening, Teddy admits that he is still undecided on the vote. This causes Tia to become visibly frustrated, stating she thought she and Teddy had made an agreement, although Teddy claims this was only for one tribal. Olivia then begins to speak up, stating that Tia has friends on the jury, as Olivia speaks, it becomes apparent that Sarah, Danni and Uri are rolling their eyes, which Teddy picks up on. Jeff announces that neither Olivia nor Tia will vote, as both their votes cancel each others out. Teddy goes up to the voting area, writing down the name of the contestant he wishes to remove. "rattana"

- I feel overall you are the bigger threat, although I do honestly think I could probably beat you... Which is why you lasted longer than your 'duo' member.

Jeff collects the single vote, flipping it over to reveal that Teddy has decided to vote Tia out of the game. Tia shakes her head, standing abruptly and leaving the tribal council muttering curses. As Tia leaves, Olivia shakes her head laughing, feeling the same relief Teddy did when he won the immunity challenge. Jeff informs the final two that the power will now shift to the jury of seven, and that tomorrow evening, they will be facing them in order to decide who will win the title of Sole Survivor, and the million dollars that comes with it.

"rattana"

- (while crying) I... I... I just feel so s**t right now that I worked so hard just to go this close to the end. F**k Teddy and f**k his lies. Olivia can win it now just to make me feel better that we're not rewarding a lying pig... I wish I could go back in time just to change a few things but I can't... And I have to live with that now.

Day 39
Teddy and Olivia wake up as the final two, getting their things ready to face the jury. They are informed that they will be leaving the camp for good, and must burn whatever they leave behind. Teddy brings the raft towards the shelter, adding the cooking pots, rice bin and cutlery to the pile, before Olivia sets it all alight. The final two hug one another, knowing that they will now be fighting to earn the jury's vote that will grant one of them a million dollars. "rattana"

- This is it, day thirty nine. Everything we've done up until this point is for this one day, and to be here is completely terrifying... Out of sixteen people I'm one of two to make it to the very end.

"rattana"

- I'm going in feeling good tonight... I think after last night I've gained another vote on the jury for sure. I know there are several members who are quite annoyed at Teddy for the way he played, feeling strategy needed to overrule everything else. It feels quite immoral for him to have done this but... We'll see what gets rewarded.

The two depart the old Tagi beach, both shedding a tear as they head to the final tribal council.

Final Tribal Council
Olivia and Teddy take their places at the final tribal council, before the jury walk in one by one. Uri, Danni, Alice, Eli, Razzy, Sarah and Tia, all looking at the final two, some with blank expressions, other with cold glares. Jeff informs the final two that they can both make opening statements about their game, and why they should win the million dollars. The jury then will ask questions or make statements, helping in their decision making process. Then the jury will vote, granting one of the final two the title of Sole Survivor.

Razzy's question: Alice's question: Eli's question: Sarah's question: Uri's question: Tia's question: Danni's question: Jeff thanks the jury for a lively final tribal council, giving them several minutes to gather their thoughts before the voting. Teddy and Olivia sit in silence, looking at the jury, not wanting to make eye contact with certain members. Jeff signals the start of the voting, beginning with Alice. "rattana"

- As I said, I'm voting you Olivia. Probably not for the right reasons though.

"rattana"

- Good job buddy.

"rattana"

- Congratulations... You managed to change my mind tonight. Other totally blew it...

"rattana"

- Peace, much love... You've upset people, but you were harmless to me.

"rattana"

- Surprised I ended up doing this in the end... Congratulations.

"rattana"

- (says nothing, but places vote aggressively in the urn)

"rattana"

- If only I could vote myself. I guess your the second best choice.

Jeff collects the urn, wishing both Olivia and Teddy good luck, before reading the final votes. The jury sit eagerly and watch on, all hoping for their personal choice to win the game. Jeff removes the first vote, and begins the ready, he reminds the contestants that it takes four votes to win

Jeff: First vote... Teddy

Jeff: Second vote... Teddy

Jeff: Third vote... Olivia

Jeff: Fourth vote... Olivia

Jeff: Fifth vote... Teddy

Jeff: Sixth vote...

Jeff: The winner of Survivor Borneo... Teddy!

Teddy jumps up with his hands over his hand, not able to believe that he has just gone on to become the first ever Sole Survivor. Teddy hugs Olivia, who looks visibly disappointed. All seven jury members walk over and hug the final two, with some only going as far as a hand shake. Teddy is left alone at the tribal council area, the winner of a million dollars, a new car, and the first ever Sole Survivor. "rattana"

- I can't believe it. I know I told myself time and time over that I could win this, but until it happens you can never be sure. Despite winning there will always be regrets, I just hope I'm able to keep the friends I made out here, and I hope my family can be proud of what I achieved. Just want to thank everyone for making this an amazing experience, I couldn't have asked for anything more.
