Welcome to finale night for Survivor 49.
Well, the first half of this season,
tribal loyalty was as permanent as a tattoo--
bold, visible, impossible to remove.
Even after two tribe swaps, those original tribe colors
were etched into every strategic decision.
And then the merge happened.
And it was as if, overnight,
those tattoos vanished.
Memories wiped clean, old tribal loyalties forgotten,
like a collective Survivor amnesia set in.
And since then,
any alliance has been, at best,
a temporary tattoo, easily washed away
and replaced with a new one the next day.
So here's what we know.
Five players, three days left.
Who knows how this is gonna play out
because this has been one of the most unpredictable
post-merge games we have ever seen.
Here's the one thing we're certain of:
individual immunity is gonna matter a lot,
because that is the only way to guarantee you stay in this game.
All right, our final five:
Rizo, Savannah, Soph, Sage, Kristina.
Tonight, we will have two immunity challenges,
two Tribal Councils and then a fire-making showdown.
Then the final three will get a chance to plead their case
about why they deserve the title of Sole Survivor
and the million dollars that goes along with it.
And then we will crown a winner
of Survivor 49
and immediately go into the aftershow
here in the beautiful jungles of Fiji.
Finale night's our big night for Survivor.
We love our finale nights.
So let's get to it.
Here it is, the finale
of Survivor 49.
♪ ♪
RIZO: This is where legends are born.
I'm expecting fireworks,
and I don't think anyone's gonna let up.
PROBST: Previously on Survivor...
Let's go.
Yeah!
I can
block someone's vote.
In theory, this gives us the majority.
I am casting this Block a Vote Advantage on Savannah.
So I don't have an advantage anymore,
and hopefully this works.
SAGE: There's one person that
certainly could beat me, and that is Steven.
We're good.
SOPHI: I actually have
a lot of power here.
I have the Knowledge Is Power Advantage.
Am I gonna use it to steal Steven's advantage
or am I gonna go against Rizo and Savannah
and steal Rizo's idol?
I have a little something here
that I've been quiet about for a while.
I'm sorry, Steven, but do you have an advantage?
- Nope. - (laughing)
Oh, my God.
(sighs)
If anybody has an advantage or an idol and you want to play it,
now would be the time to do so.
RIZO: All right, Jeff.
I've had this idol for a long time,
but I'm not gonna play it tonight, Jeff.
Thirteenth person voted out and the sixth member of our jury:
Steven.
You friggin' turd.
The tribe has spoken.

- Congrats on final five, everyone. - Nice.
This is the finale.
I will say, I don't know what the ...
- happened for us to get here, - KRISTINA: What happened?
- but we got here. - SAVANNAH: We're all
- friggin' final five. - SAGE: Whoo!
It feels kind of cool to be in the final five
of Survivor 49.
I think it's, like, finally
starting to hit me for realsies.
- Whoo! - Oh, my gosh. We made it.
SAGE: I feel bad that I feel good, because, like,
one of my best friends I just sent home.
Great, great player.
Probably hates me now, but...
SAVANNAH: No.
SAGE: But, like,
this is an individual game.
And at the end of the day,
I'm playing for me, not for Steven.
Oh, Rizo.
- You turd. - Sorry, guys. (chuckles)
SAGE: Congratulations on final four.
