PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Alexis, Ali, and Morgan celebrated being the final three. Alexis knew that Morgan and Ali were both huge competitors and she would need to make a big move to give herself enough to win the game. At the final immunity challenge, the final three had to hold on to buoy in the water, similar to Survivor: Palau. Last person holding onto their buoy would win. The three held on for hours and hours until finally Ali’s arms gave out, knowing that she wasn’t going to outlast Morgan. Morgan was solid, and Alexis tried to make a deal. Alexis said that she would take Morgan to the end if she let her win. Alexis thought this would be a big move if it worked. Ali couldn’t necessarily hear the conversation. Morgan wanted to hold on to prove what she could do, but knew if she fell, Alexis would take her to the end. At the same time, she didn’t know if Alexis would go back on her word and take Ali. Morgan knew that she could hold on for a while, but was feeling sore and wanted to take Alexis’ deal, so she fell. Alexis won final immunity. Back at camp, Ali told Alexis that they had been together from the very start and they should stick it through to the end. Morgan and Alexis talked, Morgan saying that they made a deal, and that Ali would be impossible to beat in the end. At tribal council, Alexis knew she had a big decision to make. Pick Morgan, the challenge beast. Or Ali, the strategic beast. She didn’t know which way to go. When the one vote was revealed, Alexis stuck to her word at the challenge and voted Ali out, sending out her biggest strategic threat. Ali felt upset, but knew she was probably the stronger competitor and Alexis made the right move by taking her out.
