31 days ago, 20 Tengagers walked onto the island of Bora Bora. All of them had an advantage. MENSA members, siblings, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, idols, and two unique twists were introduced to the game. Tesoro Isla allowed one person to skip the vote, and the saboteurs were to wreck havoc in camp, and if they made the merge, then they would win $50,000. The were divided into two tribes, the men, Vava'u, in blue, and the women, Tupai, in pink. The men were focused on getting rid of the weak. David, Shawn, the tribe has spoken. But, on Tupai, an alliance quickly emerged between Michelle, Rachel, Elyse, Janelle, and Jaylyn, and they voted Candace out. Candace, the tribe has spoken. But, Livvy played an immunity idol and blindsided Jaylyn. Jaylyn, the tribe has spoken. But, the alliances continued to stay strong as they voted out their opposition. Katie, Amanda, Livvy, the tribe has spoken. The men started forming alliances themselves. Landon, Luke, Lawrence & Marcos made the majority alliance as they voted out Brian. Brian, the tribe has spoken. The minority alliance, Jason, Monty & Ignas banded together, and used Monty's fake idol to get the majority to split their votes. The minority took advantage and voted out Luke. Luke, the tribe has spoken. Later that night, the merge came. And the saboteur, Ignas, got to take someone down with him. He chose Marcos. Marcos, the tribe has spoken. On night 16, the two tribes merged into Otemanu. The girls were going to stay strong, but Michelle had Jason and they were afraid she would flip, so the girls got Landon & Lawrence to flip and vote out Jason & Monty. Jason, Monty, the tribe has spoken. Michelle was trying to convince Landon to play his idol on night 25, but Landon did not trust her, and it led to his exit. Landon, the tribe has spoken. Lawrence seemed to be doomed at the next tribal council, but unknown to anyone, he played both his idol and Landon's for his new ally Michelle. Together, they voted out Rachel. Rachel, the tribe has spoken. Last week, Elyse took Keeva to the Nui Resort. While Lawrence found the idol on Exile Island, Janelle & Michelle formed a final two deal. When Elyse won immunity, Janelle wanted the blood off of her hands, so she forced Lawrence to play the idol to save himself and vote out Keeva. Keeva, the tribe has spoken. Now only four remain, Elyse, Janelle, Lawrence & Michelle. Four days, three tribal councils, two finalists, one survivor.

-Day 32-
JB: Come on in, guys!
*Castaways enter*
JB: Well hello final four! Now, I know there is only four of you left, but I think it is only fitting to throw you another curveball.
Janelle: Uh-oh!
JB: Today, you are competing for a ticket to................

.......go to Tesoro Isla.
Elyse: What?
Michelle: Wow!
Lawrence: Holy!
JB: The person that wins this challenge will go to Tesoro Isla and will be safe from tomorrow's tribal council. Tomorrow, you will also have another chance for immunity. So, two people will be immune from the vote tomorrow night. Are you guys ready for today's Tesoro challenge?
All: Yes!
JB: This challenge is originally from Survivor: Redemption Island. You will race through a maze to collect four bags of puzzle pieces at four different stations. Once all four bags were collected,you will race to the top of a pyramid and assemble a word puzzle. The first castaway to correctly solve the puzzle will head to Tesoro Isla and will be safe from tomorrow's vote. Does everybody understand?
All: Yes!
JB: OK, we will get started.
*Castaways prepare*
JB: For safety at Tesoro Isla, survivors ready, go!

Lawrence: Yes!
Michelle: Good job!
Janelle: Congrats!
Elyse: Nice job, man!
JB: Lawrence, you are in the final three. How does it feel?
Lawrence: So surreal. It hasn't hit yet.
JB: Well, maybe it will hit at Tesoro Isla. Grab your stuff, here is the map, head on out.
*Lawrence exits*
JB: Well, ladies, you will have another chance at immunity tomorrow. Get a good night sleep. I will see you tomorrow.
-Day 33, Otemanu-
Elyse (confessional): I think if me or Janelle wins tonight, then I should be going to the end. Michelle should be worried. She has played a good game, so she deserves to win, and she is a jury threat.
Michelle (confessional): I need to win today. It is really my only option.
Janelle (confessional): I am going to be throwing the challenge because if I win, then I will have to vote somebody off, and I don't want to make another enemy.
-Day 33-
JB: Come on in, guys!
*Castaways enter*
JB: Are you guys ready for today's immunity challenge?
All: Yes!
JB: For today's challenge, originally from Survivor: Redemption Island, you will put one foot on one end of a seesaw with the other end having a ceramic vase balanced on it. You will attempt to keep the vase balanced on the end with their foot still on the seesaw. The last castaway to have their vase balanced on the end of the seesaw wins immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final three. Does everybody understand?
JB: And we are down to two, bitter frenemies battling it out for immunity.

JB: Been up there 90 minutes, the pain in your quads should be starting to set in.
*Elyse falls*
Elyse: F*ck!
JB: And just like that, Michelle wins immunity.
Michelle: Oh my god!
JB: Michelle, come over here, you are in the final three. You will decide who will join you & Lawrence in the final three this afternoon. I'll see you at tribal.
-Day 33, Otemanu-
Michelle (confessional): I think I have an easy choice.
-TRIBAL COUNCIL-
*Castaways enter*
JB: We will now bring in our jury. Jason, Monty, Landon, Rachel & Keeva, voted out at the last tribal council.
*Jury enters*
JB: Michelle, how big was the win today?
Michelle: I would be going home if I lost today. JB, it feels amazing.
JB: Elyse, how does the Tesoro Twist play a role in tonight's vote.
Elyse: Big role. No ties tonight, my fate is lying in someone else's hands. It's nerveracking.
JB: Janelle, why should Michelle vote out Elyse?
Janelle: Because Elyse has played the best game here. She was the lead of the main alliance and she dominated this game. She would win if she is in the final two. This is the perfect, and it could possibly be the only opportunity to get her out.
JB: Elyse, why should Michelle vote out Janelle?
Elyse: Because Janelle will not take her to the end. Michelle, I swear on my life that if you keep me tonight, then I will take you to the final tribal council if I win immunity tomorrow.
JB: Michelle, tough decision. Go decide now.
*Michelle votes*
JB: Once the vote is read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the vote.

JB: It is time for you to go.
*Elyse exits TC*
JB: Lawrence will join you at tomorrow's final immunity challenge. Good luck, get a good night's sleep because tomorrow may be the most important day of your life. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night.
Elyse (exit interview): Michelle made a mistake tonight. She should have kept me. Her fault, her vote on the jury she won't get.
-Day 34-
JB: Come on in, guys!
*Castaways enter*
JB: We will now bring back Lawrence, returning from Tesoro Isla.
*Lawrence enters*
Lawrence: Elyse is gone!
JB: Elyse is gone.
Lawrence: Wow.
JB: Are you guys ready for your final immunity challenge?
All: Yes.
JB: Michelle, I will take it back. Immunity is up for grabs for the final time. This challenge is originally from Survivor: Vanuatu. You must stand on platform holding a bow and arrow in a warrior pose. Any castaway who falls off the platform or releases their arrow will be eliminated from the challenge. Last castaway standing wins immunity and a spot in the final three. Does everybody understand?
JB: If you lose your concentration for just a second, you could be out of the challenge. We are down to two.

-Day 34, Otemanu-

JB: Lawrence the tribe has spoken.
*snuffs torch*
JB: It is time for you to go.
*Lawrence exits TC*
JB: Congratulations final two. You have earned the right to plead your case in front of the jury of seven tomorrow night. It is a big day tomorrow, so enjoy your final night in the paradise of Bora Bora. Good night.
Lawrence (exit interview): I am a bit surprised to be here right now, but it is what it is. It's all good. They both derserve it, and I wish them the best.
-Day 35, Otemanu-
Janelle: We've got treemail!
Michelle: Wow! What does it say?
Janelle: It is time to say goodbye to the home you once knew. Bermuda has brought scenic memories that are irreplaceable. The game also leaves its mark on your life, so on your way to final tribal, recognize the ones who left.
*RITES OF PASSAGE MUSIC*
Michelle: David. Elyse always talked about him, seems like such a good guy.
DAVID: Being able to come here with my sister was a dream come true. I am definitely fortunate for the opportunity the good Lord gave me to come out here.
Janelle: Candace. I was at Tesoro when she got voted out, sorry that you had to go.
CANDACE: My sister would be very proud to see that I played this game. I was playing to enhance the family name, and I think I was successful.
Janelle: Jaylyn. You went to soon, but if you weren't blindsided, I would not be here. Sorry you went so early.
JAYLYN: I am young, naive, and I am willing to stand up for who I am. Before Survivor, I couldn't say that. So, I am thankful for the traits Survivor has granted me with.
Michelle: Katie. Mrs. Saboteur.
KATIE: I thought I had a great strategy, apparently my competitors were one step ahead of me.
Janelle: Shawn. He seemed like such a great guy. My MENSA in crime!
SHAWN: I wanted to stay quiet, so I could try to read my tribemates. But, they were extremely difficult to read. I didn't react soon enough, and I got the boot.
Michelle: Brian. Rachel's hubby. He could have gone far if he had just made the merge.
BRIAN: I know for a fact that if Rachel & I both made the merge, then we would be in the final two, but I fell on the wrong side of the numbers.
Janelle: Amanda. You were fun to have around camp. Love you :)
AMANDA: Being in this game changed my life. I learned stuff about myself that I would never know about unless I came on the show.
Michelle: Luke. It seemed like someone lied to you at that tribal, and you were a threat. I can't imagine you being voted out before the saboteur unless there was a good reason.
LUKE: I had a perfect plan. I was going to the end, but everything was not what it seemed. And, in this game, you can never get too overconfident.
Michelle: Livvy had that idol and really screwed up our plan. Hehe.
LIVVY: I knew I had to make an alliance quickly in the game, but I didn't know I had to make an alliance that early. That was my downfall.
Janelle: Ignas. The saboteur. He deserves mad respect for making it that far.
IGNAS: I did it! I am $50,000 richer. Being the saboteur is a very interesting way to play the game, but if I were a regular player, I would have made it further than if I was a saboteur.
Michelle: Marcos. I feel so bad for him. He was the saboteur's victim.
MARCOS: Before I came out here, ZJ wanted me to win it for us. I wanted to represent not only myself, but him too. We played almost identical games, and received identical results.
Michelle: My boyfriend, I love you with all my heart, and even though you didn't win, you are still a winner in my eyes.
JASON: I wanted to go to the end with Michelle, but other people wanted to stop me in my tracks.
Janelle: Monty. Eventually, you fell on the wrong side of the numbers. Very entertaining guy. Sorry that you went.
MONTY: Playing this game has always been a dream of mine, and this is definitely an experience that I will never forget.
Michelle: Landon, you should have listened to me. You deserve what you got.
LANDON: While I was here, I forgot the one important rule on Survivor, "Trust No One". And that is what got me voted out.
Janelle: Rachel. She loved this game, and she thought she was going to the end. How tragic.
RACHEL: In this game, I was the dominant one, and the other people saw that. It took 28 days and two immunity idols to get me voted out. I think I deserve some credit.
Janelle: Keeva, unfortunately, I was the vote to get rid of you. I'm sorry Keeva. You are awesome!
KEEVA: I played this game as honest as I could, and keeping my integrity is way more important than winning a million dollars.
Janelle: Elyse. What a competitor! I've never met somone so competitive.
ELYSE: I think my edge is what got me far in this game. Without my edge, I think I would have been the first voted off after my brother.
Michelle: Lawrence. You will truly be a lifelong friend of mine. One of the greatest people I have ever met.
LAWRENCE: I think that being named the Idol King is a great achievement, but I made the final three! I am extremely proud of myself and the way I played the game.
-TRIBAL COUNCIL-
*Michelle & Janelle lay down torches outside of tribal council area, and enter their final tribal council*
JB: We will now bring in the jury. Jason, Monty, Landon, Rachel, Keeva, Elyse, and Lawrence.
*Jury enters*
JB: Michelle & Janelle, first you will give your opening statements to start our tribal council. Then, the jury will ask questions addressed to one of you, or possibly the both of you. Then, we will vote. So, Janelle, please give your opening statement.
Janelle: Being a MENSA member gave me a huge target, so at the beginning I laid low. My strategy was to let other people do the dirty work for me, and it got me to the final two. I don't like to use this phrase, but I think I rode coattails, but it was the best strategy for me because there was so much conflict, and if I could camouflage myself in the women's alliance, then I could get far. When Rachel was voted out, I realized that the women's alliance would soon dismantle. And, I knew I wouldn't be in the final two because Elyse took Keeva on reward. So, in order to advance myself, I made a final two pact with Michelle. It was the right time to stop flying under the radar. My strategy worked. I don't care what you have to say about my strategy. I am in the final two. Obviously, I was doing something right.
JB: Michelle, give your statement.
Michelle: I think my true game started when my boyfriend was voted out. The women's alliance coasted pre-merge and our plan was to get our loved ones and then go to the end. I think Rachel & Elyse, you two were jealous because I was the only person to still have my loved one around. I think you guys saw that as an unfair advantage. You guys tried to get me out several times, but you didn't. I never lied in this game. Landon, I was being truthful to you the entire time. My proof was your elimination. Luckily, without you giving your idol to Lawrence, I wouldn't be in this game, so thank you for that. I think was a threat in challenges, a strategic threat, and I think I played the best game. I appreciate your vote, but if you don't give me your vote, it is just a game.
JB: OK, Jason, we will start our questioning with you.
Jason: Um, I have no questions. Janelle, unfortunately, you won't be getting my vote. Good luck though.
JB: OK, that was quick. Monty, you are up.
Monty: My questions were answered in your statements. Janelle, I think you were floating by in this game, and I don't admire your strategy. Michelle, you dodged several bullets to get where you are. I think for that reason, you get my vote. I'm finished here.
JB: Thank you Monty. Landon, you are up.
Landon: Michelle, I owe you a sincere apology. I should have never accuse you of lying to me. You, on the other hand Janelle, did lie. Why did you lie?
Janelle: Because Landon, that was the only way of getting you out. You had the idol. I'm sorry, it was our only option.
Landon: Are you telling me that you care more about the game than your integrity?
Janelle: No I'm not.
Landon: That is what it sounds like.
Janelle: Fine. You can think what you want.
JB: Thanks Landon. Rachel, you are up.
Rachel: Janelle, I want to vote for you, but I don't know if I can. What was your biggest move?
Janelle: Getting Keeva out. Now, I know that seems like a shock, but I was behind Keeva's elimination. Michelle, can you say that is true?
Michelle: It is.
Janelle: When I was with Michelle that day, we made a pact to the final two. Lawrence talked to me and told me that he had an idol. Well, I did not want the blood on my hands, even though I was the swing vote, so I faked the vote on Lawrence, got him to play his idol, and get rid of Keeva. That was my strategy, keep the blood off of my hands, so when I got to the finals, I would not have any enemies.
Rachel: OK, I have heard enough. Thank you.
JB: Keeva, you are up.
Keeva: Tell me why the person next to you does not deserve the million dollars. Michelle, you are first.
Michelle: Janelle said that she rods coattails, she admitted it. I don't believe that riding coattails is a noble strategy nor a winning strategy. Now, if the person next to her did absolutely nothing, then maybe. But, I made some moves in order to get me here. I didn't sit on my ass for five weeks.
Janelle: Michelle doesn't deserve to sit here because she never stayed out of trouble. She made enemies, and that is not a great way to play the game.
JB: OK, thank you Keeva. Elyse, you are up.
Elyse: Tell me how I helped you get to where you are right now.
Michelle: Elyse, you helped me by getting through pre-merge, and you kind of helped me by voting out Jason. Jason was a target for me, and I was a target for him. So, when you voted him out, you really kickstarted my new game, and it helped me get to the finish line.
Janelle: Elyse, I played you. You don't even realize it. I made sure that you were the bad guy every time, and it worked. You were voted out before me. I played your ass so damn hard. That's why I deserve it.
Elyse: Wow. OK, thanks guys.
JB: Lastly, we have Lawrence.
Lawrence: My one question is to Michelle. Why did you vote me out last night?
Michelle: I voted you out for three reasons: 1. Because I think you would have beaten me in the end 2. We never promised each other final two 3. Janelle did promise me final two. Those were the reasons why.
Lawrence: Well, last night, I felt really betrayed by you. And I'm not sure those reasons are legitimate in order for you to win the million dollars. If it were three weeks ago, I would have gotten over it, but this was less than 24 hours ago, and I am hurt. I'm hoping that I can get past this anger before I vote because I want to vote for you, I just don't know if I can.
JB: OK, after a revealing tribal council, it all comes down to this. It takes four votes to win. Jurors, write for the person you want to win this game and the title of Sole Survivor. It is time to vote, Jason, you are up.
*Everyone votes*
JB: I bet you wish that we would read the votes tonight. But, you will have to wait. You will have to wait until we reach Papetee.
-PAPETEE, Live Vote Reading-
JB: I have all seven votes in here. You need four votes to win. You want to see your name on the parchment. One of you is about to become a millionaire. I will read the votes.
JB: First vote..................................Michelle. 1 for Michelle.
JB: Michelle, as the winner of Survivor: Bora Bora, I am proud to present you this check worth ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!! Now, look into the camera, and say this: I am Michelle Grant, and I am a survivor!
Michelle: I am Michelle Grant, and I am a Survivor!
JB: Now, before we leave, Michelle, I think someone has a question for you.
Jason: Hey baby!
Michelle: Hey!
Jason: I am so proud of you, and I love you with all of my heart. This experience had me thinking one thing. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
*cheers*
*gets on knees*
Jason: Michelle Renee Grant, will you marry me?
Michelle: Yes!
*confetti & cheers*
JB: There you have it for Survivor: Bora Bora. We will see you next season in Brazil! Good night!
