After the last episode's blog expired, Aries and Libra were tied with seven votes each. Since we have seven Jury members, there shouldn't be a tie, so the final Jury vote will be decided by random.org.
I will now reveal the votes of our Jury members:
Gemini: "As a fellow Air sign, I give my vote to Libra. They played very intelligently."
Rabbit: "I vote for Libra. They were always so nice to me."
Tiger: "Aries gets my vote, because I feel they are someone I could do crazy stuff with outside of this game."
Dragon: "I vote for Aries. We both have that leadership spirit, and that's what I will always support."
Aquarius: "I vote for Libra, my closest ally in this entire game."
Horse: "Aries gets my vote. They were a competition beast and the only one who could match Dragon and me in physical aptitude."
So far, it's a 3-3 tie. Let's reveal the last vote.
Scorpio: "Ugh, do I have to? Neither of them deserves the win. Libra has been so wishy-washy and has floated this entire game, and even though I wanted to vote for Aries, as a fellow sign ruled by Mars, the bastard stabbed me in the back and voted me off at final three. [...] Yeah, yeah, I know I signed the contract. Fine... My vote goes to...
....
Libra, I guess. Whatever. I'm not gonna give the win to someone who voted me off."
Congratulations, Libra, you are the winner of this blog game and the Sole survivor of the Battle of the Zodiacs! Aries, you played a great game, and are the runner-up. Well done!
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who voted and participated in this game, you've made it very fun. It actually took off much better than I thought it would, so I can't tag everyone who commented throughout the season, but you all have my gratitude. <3
Until next time, XOXO, Kath. ;)
At the second to last tribal council, Aries voted to evict Scorpio and have Libra join him in the final two.
"Scorpio, I'll need you to bring me your torch." -snuffs it- "The tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Scorpio's final words: "After getting my second chance, I was out for blood. I sent most of the people who initially voted me off home, but of course, it placed a huge target on my back. In the end, I didn't quite make it till the end, but I think i showed everyone that you don't f*** with Scorpio."
No more rewards, no more immunities. In this final tribal council, the Jury will be voting for the sign they believe deserves $1.000.000 and the title of the Ultimate Survivor. Before we get to the voting, the final two will have the chance to address the Jury members one last time.
Libra: "I believe I played a smart social game. I made good connections within my initial tribe, which made sure my name never came up in the tribal councils almost until the very end. I won two key immunities during the top 5 and top 4 tribal councils which ensured I have a place in top 3. Finally, I have treated everyone with courtesy and respect, even the people I wasn't allied with. I hope I can get your vote."
Aries: "Unlike my rival here, I never flew under the radar, I won two rewards and two immunities, which is the most individual challenge wins out of any signs that played this game. I am the sign of leaders, and I proved that by leading my tribe, winning and being now in the final two. I hope you can recognize my qualities and give me your vote."
Well, Aries and Libra, you have both played a great game. It's interesting that you two are complementary signs, on the opposite ends of the Zodiac circle, and that out of all others, you are the two to stay here until the end. You've done what you could, but now the game is out of your hands. It is time for the Jurors to decide who will be the winner of Survivor: Battle of the Zodiacs.
Vote in the comments for the sign you'd like to WIN (so it's different from the way you voted before, like in the real TV show). The sign with most votes before the blog expires will win.
Top two: Libra, Aries
Also, if you vote, please plus the blog, as it gives me additional T$. <3
In the final-four tribal council, the remaining Western signs decide to revert to their old tribal loyalties and vote out the last remaining Eastern sign, making Horse the twenty-first sign eliminated and the sixth member of the Jury.
"Horse, you've been a great competitor, you defied the odds for a long time, won several rewards and immunities, but I'm afraid I now need you to bring me your torch." -snuffs it- "The tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Horse's final words: "After my tribe was on a losing streak early on, I fought tooth-and-nail to stay in the game, and sent several Western signs home. In the end, it wasn't quite enough to reach the finale, but I'm overall quite happy with my performance."
The remaining signs:
Gold tribe:
Libra
Aries
Scorpio
After the cleansing ritual, the final three take part in the last immunity challenge. They need to hold on to a totem pole for as long as they can in scorching heat. After more than 10 hours, Aries wins the final individual immunity and secures their place in the final two.
In the final tribal council, it is up to Aries to cast the final vote to eliminate one of their tribe mates, and choose their competitor in the final two.
Vote in the comments for the sign you'd like to see eliminated. The sign with most votes cast before the blog expires will be voted off.
Up for elimination: Libra, Scorpio

In the final five tribal council, Aquarius and Horse were in danger, with Aquarius receiving the majority of the votes. They become the twentieth sign eliminated and the fifth member of the Jury.
"I am sad to say this, being born under your sign myself, but I'll need you to bring me your torch, Aquarius." -snuffs it- "The tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Aquarius' final words: "Yeah, I'm disappointed. It is so cloudy tonight, I was hoping to be able to see the stars. Oh, you mean about the game? Well, no, I'm not disappointed, I joined it as an experiment of sorts, because I looked at it as a metaphor for the relationships between different planets and constellations."
The remaining signs:
Gold tribe:
Libra
Horse
Aries
Scorpio
This elimination marks the continuation of the "Survivor car curse" where the contestant winning the car doesn't win the title. The final four signs are aware that it is now down to the wire and that immunities are more important than ever. There are no more reward challenges. In a "Fallen comrades" immunity challenge, where the contestants had to answer questions about the signs previously eliminated, Libra wins immunity and guarantees themselves a spot in the final three. This is also the first time in the game that a sign won two consecutive immunity challenges.
Vote in the comments for the sign you'd like to see eliminated. The sign with most votes cast before the blog expires will be voted off.
Up for elimination: Horse, Aries, Scorpio

After a dramatic vote where Dragon and Scorpio were neck and neck for a long time, Dragon ended up being the nineteenth sign eliminated and became the fourth member of the Jury. (I of course did not count the votes cast twice by the same person.)
"Dragon, you were a fierce competitor. You won one immunity and two rewards, but now it's time for you to bring me your torch." -snuffs it- "The tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Dragon's last words: "Hey, can you blame them? If I were in their shoes, I'd get rid of me as well. I was obviously a huge threat this entire game, and I think I did amazingly well for staying this long."
The remaining signs:
Gold tribe:
Libra
Horse
Aries
Aquarius
Scorpio
The top five signs are left to sit around their camp, clutching their bellies, since the food rations are almost fully exhausted after 57 days on the island. The only thought making them still hold on is the knowledge that it will all be over soon. In the reward challenge, Aquarius wins and gets a big fancy SUV and an opportunity to spend a night in a bed made in its back part, along with a dinner. The next day, Libra wins immunity and thus secures themselves a place in the final four.
