The final four return to camp. Earl and Yul applaud Jenna and Sandra for the move to idol out Natalie. With their final three plans ruined Earl and Yul are unsure of who to bring to the final three. Jenna has at least three built in votes from her alliance and with Sandra's amazing track record with jurors and jury speeches, neither option seems like a great one.
Jenna makes a deal with Sandra to go with her to final three and vote out one of the guys next. Jenna says she's not scared of the fire-making tie breaker. Sandra, in confessional, reveals that she has no intentions of taking Jenna to the final three.

Once they have put the 18 torches into the fire pit, they set them ablaze. The path ahead leads them to their the final immunity challenge.
It is a massive staircase and slide with four different obstacle courses out in front. Starting at the top of the stairs where puzzle stands are, they must go down the slide or poles and go through each obstacle course to retrieve a bag of puzzle pieces, climbing the stairs in between each to take one bag at a time up to the puzzle board at the top. Once all four bags are retrieved they may begin their puzzle. They must complete the puzzle to win the challenge.
Jeff sends them off down the slide/poles to begin the challenge. They each go to a different course. Sandra and Jenna struggle through their first obstacle while Earl and Yul fly through their first to retrieve their puzzle bag. They begin to make the climb as Sandra and Jenna retrieve their first puzzle bag. Earl and Yul are neck and neck near the top when Sandra and Jenna begin their climb up the stairs. Earl and Yul drop their puzzle bags showing signs of fatigue. Sandra and Jenna reach the top of the stairs as Earl and Yul reach their second obstacle course. Jenna reaches her second obstacle course before Sandra. Earl and Yul struggle with their second. Jenna catches up to them both. Earl retrieves his bag first, with Jenna and Yul getting their second just moments after. Earl heads up the stairs first just as Sandra retrieves her second bag. On the way up the stairs Yul bypasses both Earl and Jenna. He drops off his second puzzle bag first. Sandra begins her climb up the stairs just as Yul reaches the bottom of the slide. Jenna drops off her second bag just seconds before Earl does. Yul begins his third obstacle course. Earl and Jenna are right behind. Sandra makes her way down to the obstacle course. Yul retrieves his third bag and heads back. Earl and Jenna retrieve their third bags not long after. As the others head up the stairs, Sandra retrieves her third bag. Yul drops off his third bag first and heads down with Jenna and Earl right behind him. Sandra makes her way up the stairs. Yul, Earl, and Jenna begin their fourth obstacle at the same time. They get their fourth bag at the same time. As they head up the stairs, Sandra begins her fourth obstacle. When they reach the top of the stairs and drop off their puzzle pieces, Sandra heads up the stairs with her fourth bag. Earl/Jenna/Yul begin their puzzles. Everyone struggles at first. Earl gets an early lead finishing nearly half of his puzzle, but Yul comes out of nowhere with a string of pieces placed. Jenna begins to panic a bit. Sandra arrives at the top with her fourth bag of puzzle pieces and begins her puzzle. Jenna gets a few pieces placed. Yul passes by Earl, having placed more pieces. Sandra places a few, getting back in the challenge. Jenna places a few more pieces as Earl and Yul begin to stall. Sandra completely catches up. Suddenly, Jenna and Yul are on a roll and place several pieces, both nearly finished. But Jenna places her final piece before Yul, winning the final immunity challenge and guaranteeing her spot in the final three. Jeff hands her the immunity necklace and the final three applaud her win.
Back at camp, Jenna barely contains her glee over making it to the final tribal council for the second time. She's confident going in because she's played a hard fought under dog game from Day 1. Sandra goes to talk to her and they both agree to vote for Yul this vote. He's played a pretty aggressive, open game and made enough moves to sway the jury. They don't want him there.
Earl and Yul discuss the vote too. They both decide to vote out Sandra, their only option. She's too much of a threat to take to the finals. She's won the game twice and knows how to sway a jury her way. Earl goes off to talk with Sandra while Yul goes off to talk with Jenna.
Yul talks with Jenna about voting against Sandra to avoid a fire-making challenge. There's no telling who would win that. Plus, Sandra is a huge threat. Jenna agrees with his points. This is potentially a million dollar vote. She know Sandra is a threat but so is Yul.
Sandra tries to bring Earl on board to vote out Yul. Earl does not seem interested. She cites that loyalty is a huge thing for juries. Voting together would mean that they have stayed loyal since the beginning. They were on the Samburu tribe Day 1 and then the New Pagong tribe Day 11. Yul's Survivor resume is too good to let him go to the final tribal council. Earl turns her down and says he made a deal with Yul and he has got to stick with it. That would show the jury that loyalty played a big part in his game. He's been working with Yul since the merge. They agree to disagree and wish each other good luck in the tie-breaker challenge.
Jenna tells Yul that she'll vote with him. Sandra is a dangerous competitor in Survivor. They shake on it, but Jenna says in confessional that she's not so certain about the vote still.
The final four head into tribal council. Jeff brings in the jury: Tina, Todd, Denise, Danni, Boston Rob, Fabio, Parvati, and Natalie A. Jeff talks to Jenna first, asking her how it feels to have gone from being the perpetual underdog to having an official spot in the final three. She says it's weird after being an outsider for so long and now everyone asking for her vote. She went from being a target to be an important swing vote. She hasn't really decide which side she will go to. Jeff asks Sandra about the possibility of being in the finals for a third time. She says it's great always being underestimated and the maneuvering her way to the end. She's ready to give her speech again. Jeff turns to Earl, asking how it feels to be this close once again. Earl can't wait to give a speech either. He came out her a second time to win not get voted out. Jeff asks Yul the same question. He says that he wanted to play a riskier game. He had a special idol the first time to sway people to vote along side him. Now he can say he's made it to the end with much less help this time around. Jeff asks about the vote. Jenna reply's that the major alliance of the merge has turned against each other and the vote is still up in the air. Jeff send them off to vote. The four of them go to vote:
Sandra, holding up her vote for YUL, whispers that he's gone too far and played too good of a game to go any farther.
Yul, holds up his vote for SANDRA, and whispers I've made enough risks this game, taking you to the end would be way too risky.
Earl pauses a second before voting, unsure. He places his vote into the urn.
Jenna writes down a name holds it up and whispers: "This is for Tina, Todd, Denise, and Fabio." She puts her vote into the urn.
Jeff retrieves the urn and reveals the votes:
YUL......
.....SANDRA
Jeff pulls the next vote....
YUL....
"2 votes Yul, 1 vote Sandra. If the next vote is for Sandra we'll have our first tie of the season and head into a re-vote."
Last vote....
.....
"Ninteenth person voted out and the ninth and final member of our jury is YUL."
Yul is surprised, compliments the game move, says "thanks for that" to Earl, says his goodbyes, and hands Jeff his torch. Jeff snuffs the torch and Yul heads out to jury.
Jeff congratulates the final three on making it this far. He tells them to prepare for the final tribal council and the final three heads out.
