Night 33
The tribe returns to camp and Jenna is upset. Her entire alliance is gone and her only hope is an immunity run, but she has yet to win an individual immunity challenge. She says in confessional that the rivalries brewing in the majority alliance better pay off soon or she's gone too.
Parvati talks to Sandra, she tells her it's time to make a move.
--Survivor Intro--
Day 34
Natalie chit chats with Jenna. Jenna admits that she knows she's next. Natalie says you never know with this game. Parvati and Sandra join them. (Earl and Yul are off strategizing) Sandra brings up that they have the numbers to go against Earl and Yul. Parvati agrees, they've got a tight bond. There's want to go to final three together. Natalie agrees, adding that Yul has jury votes. His alliance with Danni and Boston Rob, and they're probably swaying votes to his side right now. Jenna says that Yul has also been great in challenges. He has won two individual immunities so far. Sandra says the numbers are here and that only one of the two of them can win immunity.
Earl and Yul talk about how Jenna needs to go soon, but Sandra or Parvati should go first. They decide they want to take Natalie A to the final three with them. They just have to make sure Parvati doesn't win any immunity challenges from here on out.
Parvati goes off to talk with Sandra. Parvati says she doesn't think they can trust Natalie. They probably should not have trusted her this long. Sandra says that she has been talking to Jenna all day. Parvati says probably to ensure her jury vote. Jenna's five person alliance will determine the winner of the game. Sandra says whoever Jenna decides to vote for in the end will win the game as she's sure her alliance will vote with her. Parvati says they need to make sure Natalie doesn't get to the end. Sandra agrees.
The final six arrive at their final reward challenge of the season. Earl wins the challenge and chooses Jenna and Sandra to join him on the reward trip.
Day 35
Earl, Jenna, and Sandra return. While they were gone both Natalie and Parvati talked strategy extensively (and separately) with Yul. Yul goes off to talk with Earl and says Natalie is quite the gamer and she surprised him with how well she put forth her arguments to go against Parvati. But Parvati, on the other hand, had the best argument Yul thinks. He says that she has been getting super close with Jenna and Jenna's alliance will determine the winner of the game. Earl thinks that maybe they shouldn't take Natalie to the final three.
Sandra, Jenna, and Parvati talk about the upcoming vote. They all agree that Natalie is a threat, strategic and social. Jenna says she thinks that Natalie may have the idol. They probably shouldn't vote for her outright this round. Jenna says that Natalie has gotten quite comfortable with her place in the game. She thinks and knows that she can win it. Sandra says that the best play may be to go after her potential voting block (Earl and Yul) first. Parvati says if you take out one of them, she won't have to votes on her side at F5 of F4.
Natalie talks to Earl and Yul. She says Sandra and Parvati are working on Jenna to get her vote. Earl and Yul tell Natalie that they want to go to the final three with her. Natalie says she is in. Natalie thinks that Parvati should go next while Earl thinks that Sandra is the best bet. They can't allow Sandra to get that close to the final for a third time. Natalie rolls her eyes, in confessional she expresses her disagreement as this would be Parvati's third time in the finals too.
Day 36
The final six arrive for their next immunity challenge. Sandra, Earl, and Yul fall out of the challenge halfway through and it comes down to Jenna, Natalie, and Parvati. Jenna falls out next. Natalie and Parvati show no signs of budging. They are both determined to win this one. After a couple hours, Parvati drops out. Natalie wins individual immunity for the second time this season.
Sandra/Parvati approach Natalie about the vote. (They need a fourth vote to gain majority over Earl/Yul) They think Earl is a good play. He's on good terms with the whole jury. Parvati adds that Earl/Yul want to keep Jenna around to use her as a vote. In confessional, Natalie is laughing. They don't know about her final three deal with Earl/Yul. She's just worried the vote will come down to a tie and that they'll have to draw rocks. That would screw up so many plans. Natalie adds that she hopes she can get Jenna's vote, but she doesn't want to budge. Natalie thinks Jenna is 100% sticking with Sandra and Parvati. Natalie tells Sandra/Parvati that she's with them and that she'd like an all female final four.
Earl and Yul talk to Jenna, but she doesn't seem interested in working with them. In confessional, Jenna says she cannot trust Yul. He's already betrayed her and her alliance at the merge. (Yul flipping against Tina screwed up Tina/Todd/Denise/Fabio/Jenna's game) Jenna says she feels like she can trust Earl, but she'd rather have him on the jury. She thinks she can get Earl's jury vote. She hopes she can get Yul's jury vote. Jenna, in confessional, gives herself a pep talk. She's not on anyone's radar this vote so that means she just has two more votes to survive and then she's in the final three.
The final six arrive at their next tribal council. Jeff brings in the members of the jury: Tina, Todd, Denise, Danni, Boston Rob, and Fabio. Jeff talks to Jenna first, asking how it feels to be the only left of her alliance. She admits that it's scary, but she's found a decently comfortable spot between the now fractured majority alliance. Jenna says they all want each other out and that she's just sitting there, eating metaphoric popcorn, and enjoying the show. Jeff asks who wants who out. Jenna says it's clear that the guys are against the girls at this point, but that only means 4 to 2. Jeff asks Earl and Yul about being outnumbered by the women. Earl says it's alright. They want each other out too so he doesn't really see it as a 4 to 2 split. Jeff asks who wants who gone of the women. Jenna says it's not secret that Parvati and Natalie are working against each other. Parvati whispers to Jenna, "thanks Jen" and rolls her eyes. Natalie says well that's the first time anyone has been open about it. Parvati adds, who wouldn't be against Natalie? She's a strategic and social powerhouse who's also great at challenges. Natalie says "thanks Parv, but don't downplay your great game. Wouldn't want you going too far." Parvati says "likewise." Jeff instructs the final six to vote, they do so and return. Jeff retrieves the urn and asks if anyone has or would like to play an idol, no one budges.

Parvati says "Wow, good job, Nat. You got me out." Natalie grins. Parvati says her goodbyes and wishes good luck to Sandra. She brings her torch over to Jeff and he snuffs it. The jury is completely surprised. Parvati heads out to Ponderosa. The final five head back to camp.
THE FINALE!!!
Two more challenges, two more regular tribal councils
The jury will finally speak their mind to the final three
The winner will be revealed!
I will be splitting the finale into three posts as there is too much to do and say in just one blog.
Part 1 - 5th and 4th place boots
Part 2 - The Jury Speaks
Part 3 - Winner Reveal/Reunion
Again, to my jurors if you want to write something to the final three or about the season in general, let me know. It would be cool if I could get all nine of you to have your own speeches. And to my pre-jurors, if you want to say anything for the reunion post let me know.
