DABU:
Natalie's mad because he should have sent her to Exile Island. Cirie fuels the fire for fun. Cirie's enjoying watching Natalie stressed out.
REWARD:
Erik and Amanda fly by Cirie and Natalie in the helicopter. He says he wanted to spend time with Amanda and wouldn't have had fun with Natalie. They agree to get out of the game for a day. They get massages and pedicures. Erik's never been to a spa. They have dinner together. He's feeling at the center of the game and he works in an ice cream parlor. He knows he'll kick himself about his choices.
EXILE ISLAND:
Parvati enjoys her private vacation and suns on the beach. She doesn't think it matters if she finds the idol or not.
DABU:
Erik and Amanda arrive back at camp. Cirie knows it was wonderful because she won the same challenge before. Natalie's mad. Natalie eavesdrops on Erika and Cirie talking. Erik's saying they should go with Parvati and says that Natalie and Amanda are the biggest threats with the jury. Natalie says she could b**** slap him like his mother.
The women all talk about what Erik has been saying to each of them.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE:
They will each get a set of coordinates and must cross ropes to find the spot to dig and find puzzle pieces. They have to then solve a puzzle. They will do this three times. The first person to solve the three puzzles wins.
Erik wins immunity! He is "guaranteed" a spot in the final four.
BACK AT DABU:
Natalie wants to know if she's going home and the other women say it looks that way. They talk about how Erik would be gone if he didn't have the
necklace. They tell Natalie to convince Erik to give her the immunity necklace. They plot for her to tell him that Cirie will vote for Amanda but needs to
believe him.
Natalie tells Erik and tries to convince him it would help with the jury. He agrees to talk to Cirie. Cirie says she wishes she could trust him but doesn't because he was telling them all different things.. Cirie thinks the odds are 50/50 that he'll go for the plan.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
In comes the jury. The women talk about how Erik made alliances with every single person. Erik admits it was a stupid mistake. He apologizes to them. Erik gives individual immunity to Natalie. The jury laughs.
They vote: Erik votes for Parvati, Natalie votes for Erik and thanks him to the camera, Amanda votes for Erik, Cirie votes for Erik, Parvati votes for Erik and says he'll go down in history as the dumbest survivor ever. No one plays the hidden idol.
Jeff reads the votes: Erik, Parvati, Erik, Erik
James says he lost his reign as dumbest survivor ever.
Jeff says he thinks that's what you call a "life lesson."
Erik's final comment: Damn , damn they got me. He could survive the island but not the "sexy" women.
The two-hour live finale Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET
