The two tribes have two minutes to get as many supplies as they need off of a fishing boat. They get their supplies, and paddle to their perspective beaches. At Badjao, everyone is pitching in. They have a fire started, and a shelter ready to sleep in. Meanwhile at Lumad, their shelter is subpar, and not everyone is playing an equal role. Parvati & Sammy are trying to work on their tan, leading to a fight with Dawson, the tribe's oldest and hardest worker. The rest of the tribe sides with Dawson, but they give their support nonverbally. At the immunity challenge, Badjao's chemistry leads them to a win. Facing elimination, Parvati & Sammy try to turn the tribe against Dawson, but they are unsuccessful, and Parvati is voted out on Day 3 in a 6-2 vote.

Episode 2: He's So Bossy!
When the Lumad tribe heads back to camp, Sammy goes immediately to sleep, clearly frustrated by the tribe's decision, and knowing she is the next one to go. The next morning, Sammy is once again laying down, not talking to anyone. This leads to another argument with Dawson, and the tribe is starting to turn on the both of them. At the reward challenge, Badjao wins fishing gear, boosting their high morale even higher. Back at the Badjao camp, the first alliance of the season is made between Cole, Jake, and Sean. They dub themselves "The Badjao Boys." At the immunity challenge, Badjao wins their third straight challenge, maintaining their undefeated status. Facing their second vote, Dawson tries to confirm Sammy's departure with the rest of the tribe. But Sammy is trying to convince the tribe that keeping her around is better than keeping Dawson's bossy demeanor. In the end, the rest of the tribe sides with Sammy, blindsiding Dawson in a unanimous vote on Day 6, making him the second person voted out.

At Badjao, Mariah begins to fear a possible alliance between Jake, Cole, and Sean, observing that they are together a lot. She voices her theory with Jessie, who begins to think the same thing. At the reward challenge, Badjao remains undefeated, winning three chickens. At Lumad, Sammy begins to work harder around camp, and she has caught the attention of her fellow tribemates. Natalie & Jenna talk about potentially keeping her over Nathan, the tribe's slowest member in challenges. But, at the immunity challenge, Lumad wins their first challenge and escapes the vote. Badjao's first loss sends them to tribal council. Back at Badjao, Cole, Jake, and Sean want Sam to be the first to go due to her weak performance in the challenge. But Mariah exposes her theories of the potential threesome running the game. Mariah is able to rally Sam, Jessie, Bob, and Violetta to blindside Sean, making him the third person voted out on Day 9.

At the reward, Cole & Jake talk to the tribe about pagonging Lumad when the merge comes, they all agree. At Lumad, Ethan, Jenna, Cal, and Natalie solidify a final four deal.

Episode 5: Going Once, Going Twice, Sold!
When Lumad returns to camp, Cal, Ethan, and Jenna make their final four deal a final three, making Natalie the fourth wheel. The reward challenge is the pre-merge Survivor auction. Back at Lumad, the five remaining members stress how important the next immunity challenge is, knowing that the merge is approaching. At the immunity challenge after another Lumad loss, Jeff announces that after tribal council tonight, that the four remaining Lumad members will head to Badjao's camp, and begin the second part of the game. Back at camp, Cal, Ethan, and Jenna are thinking of the merge, and think about potentially voting Natalie out, because she is harder to beat at the merge than Nathan. And at tribal council, another blindside occurs, as Natalie is shocked because she has been blindsided by the people that promised her final four. She became the fifth person voted out on Day 15. Cal, Ethan, Jenna, and Nathan left tribal council and headed for Badjao's camp, with eleven black buffs, and a tribe flag with the name Mangyan.

Episode 6: To Flip or Not to Flip
At the new Mangyan camp, the final eleven celebrated the first 15 days and anticipated the final 25. The seven former Badjaos looked to pagong the Lumads, while the Lumads were trying to get at least two people to flip. The Lumads first talked to Sam & Violetta, but were unsuccessful. At the immunity challenge, one man and one woman would each win immunity. Mariah won for the women, and Nathan surprisingly won for the men. Mariah was trying to secure the seven Badjaos in voting out Cal. But Jake & Cole were on the fence, and saw this as an opportunity to change the game. They flipped to Lumad, and took out Mariah's best ally Bob in another blindside, a 6-5 vote. Bob became the sixth person voted out on Day 18. He would be the first member of the jury.
voted for BOB: Cal, Cole, Ethan, Jake, Jenna, Nathan
voted for CAL: Bob, Jessie, Mariah, Sam, Violetta
Episode 7: Snapped My Fingers And My Numbers Are Gone
Back at camp, the ladies of Badjao were stunned at the result. The four of them now knew their days were numbered, especially Mariah, considering she was the leader of the alliance. At the reward challenge, Cal, Jessie, Jake, Jenna, and Mariah won, and enjoyed the afternoon on a catamaran with pizza & beer. They made a pact to not discuss game, but Mariah still tried to woo Jake back to her side, while they were alone. Jake quickly shot her down, exposed her plan, and made her the next target. Mariah needed immunity in order to stay in the game, and that is exactly what she did. Mariah & her ladies set their sights on getting Jake out, thinking that it would be easier to sway the four Lumads. However, the Lumads, Cole, and Jake kept their loyalty to each other, and Violetta also sided with them to take Jessie out of the game. Jessie was voted out on Day 21, and joined Bob on the jury.

Episode 8: Hail Mary
After Sam & Mariah learned that Violetta sided with the majority, they quickly interrogated her back at camp. Violetta said it would be easier to possibly get Jake & Cole back on their side. The tribe held the post-merge Survivor auction, where Mariah won an advantage in the upcoming immunity challenge. The advantage led her to her third straight immunity challenge victory. With Mariah immune, the Lumads plus Cole & Jake agreed that Sam would be the next to go. But before tribal council, Violetta talked to Cole & Jake about the future of the game. She told them that they would be 6th & 5th if they stayed with Lumad, or they could go to the final 3 with Violetta. Jake, Cole, and Violetta agreed on a final 3 deal, and they sided with Mariah & Sam to blindside Cal, the leader of the Lumads. Cal became the third member of the jury on Day 24, and he joined Bob & Jessie at the jury house.

Episode 9: The Devil You Know or The Devil You Don't
Ethan & Jenna were furious at Jake & Cole when they got back to camp, which led to the biggest fight of the season thus far. At the reward challenge, Cole won the right to decide what every castaway would eat for dinner. He gave himself a surf-and-turf, and the bowl of rice & beans to Ethan & Jenna. Back at camp, Ethan & Jenna blew up at Cole once again, making everyone else feel quite uncomfortable. At the immunity challenge, Mariah's streak ended as Jake came out on top. Jake, Cole, and Violetta saw this as the prime opportunity to take out Mariah. But in order to get the votes, they would have to ask their worst enemies, the Lumads, to vote with them. They asked, and they accepted, knowing that they would probably go home had they not accepted the deal. But, Ethan, Jenna, and Nathan saw this as a different kind of opportunity. They would tell Mariah & Sam that Jake, Cole, and Violetta were plotting against them, and then, they would have the numbers (with people they liked having around). The plan worked, and Cole was the victim of yet, another blindside. He was voted out on Day 27, and became the fourth member of the jury.

Episode 10: But Wait, There's More
The feud between Jake and Ethan & Jenna only escalated after Cole's dramatic blindside. Jake was now the number one target, with only Violetta by his side. On Day 28, the castaways' loved ones came for a special appearance for a challenge. Jake and his sister Megan won 24 hours at camp. He decided to also bring Mariah's sister Heidi, and Sam's brother Marcus, as a chance to try and sway two votes in his favor. However, Mariah & Sam still gave their loyalty towards Ethan, Jenna, and Nathan. But, Ethan, Jenna, and Nathan didn't quite trust that answer. They feared of her potentially flipping. This made it crucial for her or Jake to not win immunity. Ethan happened to win his first challenge and won a spot in the final six. Jenna, Ethan, and Nathan thought of the possibility of bringing Violetta over on their side to blindside Mariah. However, in the end, Ethan's archnemesis Jake was voted out in a 5-2 vote. After his torch was snuffed however, Jeff held the castaways, saying that the night was not over.

Episode 11: Nitty Gritty Mitty Spitty
Jeff announced that they were having a fast forward night, where another castaway would be voted out. A trivia immunity challenge was held at tribal council, which resulted in Ethan's second straight immunity win. Mariah & Sam still believed that the plan was to get Violetta out. Ethan, Jenna, and Nathan were able to communicate nonverbally that they wanted Mariah gone. And Violetta's revote for Mariah sealed her fate as she was blindsided 4-2. She joined Bob, Jessie, Cal, Cole, and Jake on the jury. Back at camp, Sam felt alone, as the other four celebrated the fact that they had survived a month in the jungle, and eleven eliminations. On Day 31, the castaways competed in a luxury competition, which resulted in Jenna winning a new car. Ethan won $5,000. Nathan won 2 tickets to the movie premiere of Catching Fire. Violetta won a trip back to the Philippines, and Sam won an advantage in the next immunity challenge. She ended up winning that challenge, securing herself a spot in the final four. Back at camp, Sam tried to convince Violetta & Nathan that Ethan & Jenna had a final two deal (which they did), and get both of them to join her in blindsiding Ethan. Ethan & Jenna tried to lock Nathan's vote for Violetta. Nathan was the swing vote going into tribal council, and in the end, he sided with Ethan & Jenna to take out Violetta. She was voted out on Day 33, and joined Bob, Jessie, Cal, Cole, Jake, and Mariah on the jury.

FINALE Pt. 1
The final four celebrated after their incredible run to the final four. They had only one week left until their journey was finally over in the Philippines. They reminisced about their amazing experiences on the island. On Day 35, Ethan won a reward to get a chance to go to the jury house to try to restructure burnt bridges with the jurors he crossed. He had the option to give that chance to someone else or keep it for himself. He chose to keep it. He was successful in reaching out to Mariah, Bob, and Jessie, but there was still bad blood with Cole & Jake. Knowing she was on the outs, Sam tried to get Jenna & Nathan to flip on Ethan back at camp. Jenna seemed less interested than Nathan, who said he would vote with her at the next tribal council. At the immunity challenge, Ethan won himself a spot in the final three. Ethan & Jenna knew Sam would be the next to go, but Nathan was still on the fence. He was again the swing vote. But, at tribal council, he stayed loyal to his allies, and Sam became the last member of the original Badjao tribe to be voted out on Day 36, leaving Ethan, Jenna, and Nathan as the final three.
FINALE Pt. 2
Before heading to the final reward challenge, Ethan & Jenna made their final two official, knowing that neither of them could beat Nathan in the end. Jenna & Ethan both felt that it would be easier to defeat each other than to defeat Nathan in the end. Nathan knew this, and began to fight for his life. The final reward was an advantage in the final immunity challenge. Jenna came out on top. Nathan knew he would have to fight as hard as ever to win the final immunity challenge. At the final immunity challenge, Jenna's advantage helped her out as she guaranteed herself a spot in the final two, and the chance to choose her adversary. At tribal council, she chose Ethan over the likeable Nathan, and Nathan was voted out on Day 39, one day short of the final two. He rounded out the jury that consisted of Bob, Jessie, Cal, Cole, Jake, Mariah, Violetta, and Sam. On the way to the final tribal council, Ethan & Jenna passed the torches of the fourteen people who had been voted out, to give them their rites of passage. At the final tribal council, both were grilled with question after question, and the jury voted for their winner. But, the results weren't revealed until months later in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, for the finale in which they chose Ethan, the hot-headed, tough underdog, over Jenna, the quiet, under-the-radar underdog in a 7-2 victory, giving Ethan one million dollars, and the title of Sole Survivor.
