Last time The First Boots lost the challenge Deb and Peter being from the very old school Survivor days bonded quickly over the past days and had an Alliance since day 1 Francesca,Zane and Marrisa also decided to stick together which left the remaining 4 with no Alliance So brought them all together and created the majority Alliance but set off by her overbearing personality Sekou convinced Wanda and Chicken to vote So with the other two alliances blindsiding her 
Previously on Survivor after Genal won Immunity Etra had to figure out someone to vote out Mike,Garrett,Jessie, Mari and Vince forming an Alliance before the Immunity challenge decided that Ryan was the first to go but Vince's paranoia got to him think the alliance was targeting him Vince went to Ryan, Misty and Erika who all had no Alliance and formed one with them to take out Mari, Misty believing Vince to be a threat then Misty went to Garrett, Mari, Jessie and Mike telling them of his betrayal they all decided Vince was a loose cannon blindsiding him in a 5-3 vote leaving Erika and Ryan at the bottom and Misty in a power position
Last time Earl and Chris headed to final tribal council and sat down in their seats Jeff brought in the jury and they sat down, Jeff gave his usual final tribal council speech and then brings all the jury to ask their questions, they ask there questions no one being bitter on how either of them played the game, Both Earl and Chris made their closing statements and the jury went up to vote Tina was up first, She voted for Chris because she felt that he deceived more and worked harder to get where he got, next was Denise who voted for Chris because of the bond she felt they shared and the fact that Earl never talked to her, Next was Sandra who voted for Earl because she made a good friendship with him and played the best game out of any of them not receiving a single vote all season, Next was Yul who voted for Earl because he felt he ran the game behind the scenes making all the decisions without anyone realizing it next was Kim who voted for Earl because of the great social and strategic game he had, Next was Rich who voted for Earl because of the close friendship they had over the course of the game, Next was Ethan who voted for Earl because he just liked Earl more then Chris, Next was Parvati who voted for Chris because she felt like he played a way better game then Earl did leading many blindsides and making the right moves, and Finally was Tony who voted for Earl because of the alliance they made on day 1 and because he played the best game out of anyone, Jeff took the votes and walked off then showed up at the live finale walking in he then got to the area where everyone was sitting did his speech and read the votes
Last time when Earl won final immunity he had the distinct choice on who he wanted to bring to the final 2, Chris argued that Tony played great games twice and if brought to the final 2 would get every vote and Tony argued that Chris made nice with every single one of the jury and it would be suicide to bring him to the final two, Earl thought long and hard and after a heated tribal discussion Earl went up too vote only taking a few seconds and sat down, Both Tony and Chris rocked back and forth in their seats and the vote was read and it was for Tony, Tony sighed and congratulated the final two in a sad tone, Chris thanked Earl and Tony brought Jeff his torch, Tony thanked Jeff and Jeff thanked him back, then Tony walked out of the tribal council area and Jeff did his usual final two or three speech and Earl and Chris went back to Camp for the final day 
Last time after Chris won immunity and Probst told them that it would be a final 2 finale instead of a final 3 the competition became more tense Rich and Earl got together feeling like it was Tony's time to go and Tony and Chris felt like Rich needed to be gone so at Tribal council it was a tie between Tony and Rich and after a heated 40 minute fire challenge Tony came out on top and earned his way into the final 3 and Rich smiling grabbed his torch and congratulated the final 3 now it is only Chris,Tony and Earl who will win
