It’s time to find out who won Survivor 2012 One World. When tonight’s show begins we’re left with just five castaways but by the end of the night there will be only one Survivor! The only thing we know so far: it’s going to be a woman.
The first challenge of the night is for immunity. Castaways will start with a knot challenge that leads to a balance beam maze requiring a complete start-over if they fall off. From there they’ll have to collect bags of puzzle pieces to get another combination lock code and unlock immunity.
Alicia is the first through the maze with Chelsea right behind her. They were the last two through the knot challenge, so leading didn’t help them. Chelsea is the first to the final puzzle with her parts while Alicia ends up second to last there after screwing up the parts collection. Kim is the first through the puzzle, but she still has to figure out the clues to unlock immunity. After several failed attempts and a close race with Chelsea and Alicia the win goes to Kim, her third of the season.
Heading to tribal council things are up in the air. The outcome looks to be in Kim’s hands. When Jeff reveals the votes it’s close. Chelsea receives two votes. Alicia receives three votes. Alicia is eliminated and we have our Final Four. We don’t get to see for sure who voted against who, but the camera is slow to cut away and we can see Christina makes a long first swipe with her pen rather than a curve. Looks like Christina may have saved Chelsea’s hide while Kim actually voted against her.
The next big challenge is a hard one for sure. The remaining castaways have to carefully navigate an easily toppled structure while stacking bowls. This looks nearly impossible, but I guess it’s not. Sure enough, Kim is leading by just a little with Christina right behind her and Chelsea in third. Jeff points out Sabrina isn’t even a competitor in this one since she’s so far back. No surprise here to see Kim win yet again. She’s certainly earned her ticket to the end.
At tribal council we find a resigned Christina who is ready to “roll over and die” as it’s stated. She didn’t even try to rally votes to stay. Now we’ll see if Kim has changed her mind to keep Christina. Nope, they stick to the plan. By a vote of 3-1 (Sabrina received Christina’s vote), Christina is eliminated. The final three castaways are Kim, Sabrina, and Chelsea. Now we’ll see what the jury thinks who should win the $1 million prize.
I’ll save the details for Branden’s recap, but there’s a lot of frustration in the jury but also a lot of respect. Perhaps the most bizarre was Alicia’s delusional rant that she was a “queen” in the game with her own “pawns” versus Kim and hers. She really seems to think she played a powerful game. Ah well. Tarzan has a nice speech about his wife and doesn’t bother to ask any questions. Plenty of other moments to see, but you’ll have to watch it to enjoy them.
Shifting to the live portion of the Survivor 2012 finale we’re about to hear the jury’s votes.

Kimberly Spradlin, the bridal shop owner from San Antonio, Texas has just won Survivor One World!
The “fan favorite” vote also goes to Kim which raises her cash prize to $1.1 million.
Yippie! Alicia is GONE! Ding, dong!
Yeah I never really liked Alicia anyway! :)
laaaaaaaaaaame
was there any surprises at all this season??? I DONT THINK SOOOOOOO!
who won? i missed it
The most boring and predictable season ever. I think Kat needs to talk about her brain surgery and what went horribly wrong with that.
EEwwww Alicia and Colton, ===self centered, arrogant to the end!! Why no one spoke up to them is surprising. they are examples of what truly mean, nasty people will do when they think they have some power over people. Their true self showed, not this fake being sorry.
Never bring them back, you will lose so many viewers.
Who won the Fan favorite?
Tarzan is a man who is overcome by the exuberance of his own verbosity. A legend unto himself. Way to go, Kim!!
I would not not trust Kim as far as I could spit. I can tell from her eyes that that she is a ” I am for me, only me” kind of a person. Future wedding brides, look in a different direction. Kim is not a kind or caring person. Everybody in Texas must have voted for her as Fan favorite. I would not like to meet such a bitch, She can not be trusted. Like it or not, there was no honesty or integrity in this woman.
Sour grapes!
Kim is a female Charles Manson..scarey to me he was able to manipulate so many intelligent women to do his bidding..I see Kim no differently, other than he is in prison and she just won a million dollars..however…she basically is no different..she could have ordered those women to commit murder and they would have done it..
Also can’t wait till Chesea watches the show and see just exactly how much of a “friend” Kim actually was…So sad to see Sabrina not win..but after the idiotic speeches made by Cat, Tarzan and Alicia obviously their votes had no intelligent reasoning behind them..if Tarzan is a plastic surgeon I must am declaring myself to be a brain surgeon..
Alicia s little speech was terrible!! she has such a different opinion of herself then everyone watching. she was a follower who had a mean evil mouth. Why does she keep identifing her self with”this puerto rican girl” Not one other person felt the need to keep telling people who they were(maybe colton with the gay stuff) two very immature, big mouth,weak people.
I missed a few shows…but Kim’s play in a game that is lame to begin with, deserved the win. What? 4 straight immunity challenges?…it was Coulton who really screwed this season. What a little d!@&head. Going after the balance of power within sexes gave the men no chance and hurt the show, imho.
Kim won that too, and according to Probst, it was a clean sweep.
Yes,Kim played exceptionally well! She was even brave enough to take Sab and Chelsea to the final 3, and not the two goats, Alicia or Christina. Actually smart enough might fit better than brave. With hindsight it appears she correctly gambled that taking the high road would pay off. ie being loyal to her alliance in the end, rather than taking goats to the end. She thus gets honor props and avoids potential jury speech-rath of both Chels and Sab.
Might also have been a good move to not have Alicia sitting beside her. Alicia may have convinced some of the dumb guys, as to what a brilliant scheming player she was, as Alicia sure had her self convinced. Maybe smart to avoid that scenario.
Turns out Kim played it brilliantly. Chels and Sab had nothing for the jury.
