OPENING
Recap of season. Back at camp the women celebrate.
Parvaty doesn't miss the guys. The women are happy to have beaten the men with their brains. Natalie is so thankful she's there Natalie and Parvaty have a heart to heart. Parvaty tells Natalie to "just ask" in real life; Natalie's usually scared to do that. The two have made a personal connection.
They get Tree Mail.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
Each goes to a small perch atop a 20 foot pole in the water. They pull buckets of water up to pour down a bamboo chute, which will raise a bar with keys. They must swim back to shore and unlock steps to a ladder. The first to build the ladder correctly wins.
Natalie gets her keys first, then Parvaty. Amanda gets here keys, then Cirie. Natalie's in the lead but then Amanda catches up. Amanda wins immunity!
BACK AT DABU
Natalie's not going to give up. Amanda and Parvaty consider that Cirie can sway jury votes and got lucky to be there with them, and that Natalie deserves a spot. Parvaty loves Natalie and thinks she's less of a threat with the jury than Cirie. Cirie knows she could be voted out. They duped so many people… with straight faces.

They set the last chicken, Gloria, free. The chicken doesn't want to leave and starts making a nest.
They feel like the craftiest survivors of all time. They find Tree Mail. They will go and honor their memories on Exile Island. They also have another Immunity challenge. Amanda is breaking down. Cirie and Parvaty feel sick. Cirie feels it poetic that they are getting blindsided.
They give tribute to each of the other players.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
They must balance a cylindrical piece between two handles and balance a ball on the top. After five minutes they are all still in and must add two more pieces of cylinders. They all make it to the next round and must add two more pieces. Parvaty drops her ball. Amanda and Cirie make it and have to add two more pieces. Amanda goes underhand while Cirie continues to hold it overhand. They both make it through to the final round. They add the final two pieces. Cirie loses her concentration and drops her ball.
Amanda wins final Immunity! She will choose the person to go with her to the final two.
BACK AT CAMP
Cirie thought she would win the competition. She feels like she's going home. Amanda and Parvaty talk. Parvaty says that Cirie understands. Parvaty's not worried. Amanda feels in an awkward position. She doesn't know what to do. Amanda feels more loyal to Parvaty. Cirie tells Amanda that she'd have a better chance with the jury voting out Parvaty. Amanda thinks that Cirie has angered more of the jury but is very persuasive and could win.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Amanda says winning that it was a blessing and a curse to win Immunity. She has to vote out someone she's close to. Jeff wants to know what's risky. Amanda sys that Cirie is a great talker and that Parvaty has great relationships. She based her decision on her gut. Amanda's crying and the women on the jury roll their eyes.
Amanda votes out Cirie. Cirie is the 15th person voted out and eighth member of the jury.
Amanda and Parvaty are the final two.
It's Mother's Day and I won't be recapping the details of the the live ending and reunion. I will edit this post with the final outcome.
