Before we get to the first challenge it’s time for Ben to go hunting for the next Immunity Idol. Well guess what, yep, Ben found the next Idol under the raft. He’s just secured his spot in the F4. There are simply too many Idols in this game.

Survivor 2017 Finale: Immunity Challenge – Round 1

Immunity is back up for grabs. The castaways return to the water with a series of obstacles and a puzzle to wrap it all up. Winner of this round will secure a spot in the F4.

Chrissy wins Immunity & Reward!

Chrissy won the reward of “comfort food” and can pick two people to join her: Mike & Devon.

Survivor 2017 Finale: Tribal Council – Round 1

Who will fall short of the F4? Ben and Mike are the obvious outsiders, but this group has been taking a lot of shots at their own in the last few weeks.

Ben plays his real Idol while Chrissy’s fake Idol is obviously useless.

Jeff reads the votes: Devon, Mike Tied!

Re-vote: Mike, Devon, Mike

Mike Zahalsky was voted off Survivor!

Survivor 2017 Finale: Immunity Challenge – Round 2

Immunity is back up for grabs and this will secure both a spot in the F3 and supposedly a twist that gives them the choice on who else will join them there. That last spot will go to another challenge or decision.

This is a massive headache of a challenge! Castaways have to set blocks that spell out HEROES HEALERS HUSTLERS without knocking any of them over in the process. It’s wildly difficult as they keep knocking themselves out of the running. Ben almost has it but had one letter upside down and spills all the blocks. They all keep doing it. It’s a huge mess!

Chrissy wins Immunity!

Chrissy ties the record for the most Immunity Idols won by a woman in a single season. She also wins an advantage, the last secret of the game. Chrissy learns about the twist here. She gets to pick one person to join her in the F3. The other 2 castaways will face off in a fire-making challenge.

Chrissy decides she’ll take Ryan since she thinks Devon has a better chance at beating Ben in the challenge. Remember we saw Devon making fire earlier? It’s not a bad strategy.

Survivor 2017 Finale: Tribal Council – Round 2

Time to settle our F3 for S35. Who will be knocked out and who will stand in front of the jury for the million dollar decision?

Chrissy picks Ryan to join her in the F3 per her advantage. She reveals the details to the tribe and jury before making her decision official. Now it’s time for Devon and Ben to battle it out over who can make fire first to lift their flag. Well this certainly is more exciting than usual!

Ben gets the first flames going and starts to build it while Devon starts to pick up his pace but he still lacks a spark. Ben is building his fire quickly! Here it goes!

Ben wins the challenge! Devon Pinto is eliminated.

Did you like that twist? Jeff announces back in the studio that it’ll be a repeating part of the game now so watch out for it again next season.

Now with the F3 settled they’ll need to prepare for a potentially brutal Q&A with the jury members.

Survivor 2017 Finale: Winner Revealed

Jeff reads the votes: Ben, Ryan, Chrissy, Chrissy, Ben, Ben, Ben

  3. Hi, everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sharona sends her best wishes to everyone. She had a setback two weeks after her surgery, but she is growing stronger every day. Please pray for her.

  16. Hey all! I’m a glad and a little sad. This has been one of the best seasons in a while. All new people. It has been great. Now it’s over ?. By the way Merry Christmas and a wonderful joyous New Year.

  33. Awww, thank you, I’ve missed everyone too. I lost my streaming link, didn’t want any spoilers.

  35. She had a second light stroke. No vision or cognition problems. She is on her way back to us. Prayers.

  43. My lovely tr8. Hugs and kisses babe.?? Can’t wait until CBB, you in, I think it starts Feb 7th?

  49. At the start of the game I wanted Ryan to win… then Dr. Mike, but throwing the half of the idol in the fire and his inability to keep his mouth, not so much. Chrissy already lived her dream, being on the game and winning individual immunity. Devon, eh! Ben has been playing the game from start to now…

  55. right..He has the non threat look too…Ben has the best story to tell the Jury…and they want his blood.

  56. Captain. Do you have the info for the amazing race or celebrity big brother. Matthew will be posting articles? Thanks for the info. A few people have asked.

  57. Devon is not very bright. Even he knows it. What did he say…..he can’t spell 12 letter words. Right.

  73. Production would also love a dramatic tribal where Ben leaves with the idol. They just want more drama.

  75. He’s the only one who keeps looking. The others don’t even look. Dr. Mike found one when he looked earlier in the season.

  79. All he has to say is, I outlasted you, I outplayed you, I outwitted you, give me one reason why I shouldn’t win.

  85. But it’s too late in the game. Ben is only in the game because of idols . I want to see the game play out without help from production.

  91. Hope Dr. Mike wins immunity and then Chrissy, Ryan and Devon will have to vote for one of their trio since Ben has immunity.

  92. But they have always had them up to F4 once they started having them. Either cut them out completely or maybe once jury starts.

  95. Yep. They have always done it to final four as far as I can remember. Ben has been the only one looking for it.

  106. Ryan gets to share Bens info. Could be great for his game. Blindside Mike probably since he’s likeable with the jury.

  117. She knows he is hungry and has less body fat than Mike and Devon. He is going to feel betrayed because he would have taken her.

  118. I don’t recall them this late in the game except when someone saved theirs from earlier in the game but I trust that others have better memories than me. Lol. I’m a purist, I just don’t like so many idols and advantages in a season.

  122. Oh, I hope they go through with their silly plan. Weren’t they really upset when he had fake idol… She is such a ugh!

  123. Must be lots of lurkers and trollers. been trying to say hi for 35 minutes. keeps not responsive. Liked the spin ball puzzle. :-)

    Hi Alf!!! Miss You !!!

  149. Thanks, CS !! Had a Birthday 11 days ago. Still need a piece of Cake !!! But did have French Silk Chocolate Pie Slice. :-)

  168. Would have been great television. Ryan, Chrissy and Devon going after Ben and watching him survive will be fun as well.

  170. They/Production said at beginning that the twist would be MAKING FIRE !!! for the final 4/four! Peeps must be near toilet cuz I can type. :-)

  171. This reminds me of the blue collar season when everyone was against whateverhisnameis and he just kept winning immunity.

  176. Yep, that is who I was talking about below. I liked him, he was a hard worker. I remember one of the guys kept making fun of him also. I was so happy he won.

  207. I don’t mind him or Devon going to the end with Ben. Anyone other than Ben that goes to the end with Chrissy will lose; Ben is her only competition.

  218. Ben could still get either Devon or Ryan on his side, convince them they would lose if they go to the end with her. Her resume beats Ryan and Devon’s and her social game is better than his (Ben). He can convince them the jury hates him more than Chrissy.

    EDIT: Disregard that! She is the only vote!

  223. Her attitude sucks! She is so frigging smug… “I feel sorry for him as a person.” What? Stick to the game, the sympathy crap!

  228. Devon is so dumb! Fight for your survivor life, don’t just agree with her. He is not so kwute anymore.

  229. Ryan can talk..He may claim all kinds of bs. Aren’t they partner in crime.. Devin is best bet.

  230. No one can beat Chrissy or Ben. Ryan and Devon should be talking to each other but Devon still thinks he is a winner. Probably got trophies for 5th place in school.

  250. UGH! I really had a small, a glimpse of hope for Devon but just, you can’t fix dingbat!

  254. OMG! If Ben wins, he has a shot in front of the Jury. That last challenge is the icing. ha!..Does Chrissy have a lot of friends in the Jury?

  259. I’m dog sitting this week and the dog’s name is Ben, every time I yell Let’s go Ben, he jumps up hopefully, ROFL

  276. Ha ha ha ha..WINNER!…just listen to the music!…that’s how you end it..and if he wins? omg..the best! lol

  293. LOL! Keeping a smile, nice teeth, listening to his elders (Chrissy), staying positive…..

  295. No, he would be frustrating. He would let a team go ahead of his team so he can prove he can run faster.

  296. Rather see an immunity challenge at final 4 than a fire making challenge. Too bad they plan on bringing it back next season.

  301. I always liked it better when there was just two at the end. The third person is, well, always a third wheel.

  310. Both Ben and Chrissy have a good resume/story, it is up to jury and who they like the best. Some will look at gameplay.

  313. Yeah..they were trying to get rid of him. Every week, they’re unsuccessful. Until the last challenge, and she didn’t hide it in front of the Jury. Now those two Ryan/Chrissy looks like sour grapes. lol

  321. Three immunity idols and a win vs. four individual immunity wins. In addition to Ben’s blindsides (including Joe’s and Lauren’s), playing double agent…. Ryan brough along as Chrissy’s cheerleader.

  331. Chrissy deserves to win, but probably will be Ben. A woman will not be able to win against a man

  348. Ryan’s advantage was that he was not a threat, and could not make fire, he reminded me that he did find an idol so he did not slide by completely

  353. Oh my, yes! “If it wasn’t for me…” “I put in the hard work” “All you did!” “You didn’t bring home a million dollars!” Oh my, this may have created a bigger monster!

  354. Chrissy got this in the bag. Whoever got the best music back ground when they speak. lol..Ryan is out.

  359. Ben is not a good speaker, he is a doer. Chrissy on the other hand, never stop talking and she talks at people, not to them.

  379. LOL! Definitely him… He is so thin and have to lug people’s “crap” and half the time, no tip.

  413. I noticed at the end of the game, his military training (or upbringing) kicked in. He began to address others as “yes sir”…. That’s like my family members, always have to remind them, you are home, not on duty (in the service at the moment)…..

  415. I think those two came off too strong during the Jury deliberation. Their statements sound ‘forced..desperate.

  418. I just realize, we’re in the 3rd hour. Seems to me it’s the 1st time we have a 3 hours finale.

  420. Amen to that. I know several who have it. VA wants to give them drugs. It’s talking with other vets they need.

  424. Next season, all those who did dumb things like gave away their idols, those who were voted off with their idols, those who throw idols in fire…..

  432. Beautiful! This is actually helping me and how to help when my sister returns home. Since being deployed, I have been a mess, not knowing how/what to do. She has seen and experienced stuff…. Though I have other family members that were in actual war, she is the first coming home, my home when returning home. Crying…. Thanks Ben.

  441. I was right! Players who gave away idols, voted off with idols…. Is Lauren in the next season?

  449. We really got to know him. He was so open with his problem….and the viewers just want him to win….He’s amazing.

  461. NOW this works !!! Who was the last vote for???
    I didn’t see only about one episode last season.
    Miss the only ONE JURY question from Season ONE !!!
    Unresponsive since before 9 pm.
    Will Amazing Race have a page like this one??

  463. Pingback: Celebrity Big Brother Gets Its First CBS Teaser [VIDEO] – Big Brother Network

  464. Thumbs up to Ben, I am really thrilled that he won tonight. I was rooting for him. Thumbs down to the the CBS Survivor casting call jury, who selected my husband, a military service veteran of 25 years with 3 deployments, as a contestant 3 years ago, only to turn him away when during the selection he had to disclose that he had PTSD. Shame on them for being double standard.

  465. Yay, I’m so glad Ben won, he more than earned it. I didn’t want him to win a couple of weeks ago but wow, he persevered, searching endlessly for those idols. I didn’t care for Chrissy, glad she didn’t win. What are your thoughts?

  468. Also glad for Ben. I actually liked Chrissy in the first weeks and was cheering for her but she didn’t wear well. She took things personally, could dish it out but couldn’t take it. Glad you were here tonight.

  470. I hope you join in for Celebrity Big Brother. I miss everyone and the fun we had snarking the summer away.
    Anyway, I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a lovely shiny happy New Year!
    KIsses my friend ?❤️?❣️
    I’m crying watching Jeff bringing out Ben’s Marine buddies. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/29ba48fe0d291fc33f799b7749ba3095dd35cce080dec640282c9ff42b39f3c9.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f71b95b26e312fa91d74e3a6da73535199805db6ee4b5646f8d8a33b98446c0.jpg

  472. Sounds like Lauren will be returning, “bad decisions by previous players”. Sounds interesting.

  473. Have had Frozen screen and mouse since before 9 pm.
    Wishing you and yours the Very Best this Holiday Season !!! :-)

    Hoping to see some of you back here for Big Brother 20 or Amazing Race or Survivor 36. Was just SO disappointed not to be able to chat during the program. ;-(

  475. They only showed 7 votes: 1 Ryan, 2 Chrissy and 4 Ben.
    Jeff announced: Ben, Ryan, Chrissy, Chrissy, Ben Ben, Ben. There were 8 on the Jury. And- Usually at end of regular episode they showed who voted for who, they didn’t show that at the end, here. They showed who voted for who in jury final for Big Brother. (names on the keys)

  485. So glad Ben won but wish they would’ve shown who voted for whom and also did a little more interviewing with non-jury/jury members.

  489. I’m so glad Ben won…He worked the hardest at staying in the “Game” and deserved it the most!

  490. Very disappointing reunion episode. Every season they spend less and less time speaking with the contestants. What’s up with that? They basically spent the entire reunion discussing Ben’s game and life and promoting the next season.

  493. I haven’t watched it yet, but I think he won just because he is a vet with PTSD.
    I liked Ben from the beginning, but then he started to irritate me. I hate Chrissy. I’m glad Ben won compared to all of the ones left.

  495. I think they don’t do it anymore. No menetion of it anyway. They didn’t even mention the seond prize money to Chrissy, I’m assuming they still do that.

  498. Joe helped Ben win it. After Ben got through talking Joe said I need more. Than Ben came back pretty strong. Happy the Marine won. Semper Fi

  504. Yes. Miss Cirrie and a group of black widows including Pavarti convinced Eric to give it up. So epic.

  506. Alfie!!! I thought that was you but last night but wasn’t sure.
    I hope you have the most wonderful of Holidays, my handsome Alfie! ??

  509. Thank you. Watched ‘your’ two episode Christmas “Alf” arc episodes last night and night before. Brought tears to my eyes. You, “A,” get in back of van of toys to get some for family and You end up at a hospital as one of the toys handed out. You end up walking into a little girl’s room and she calls you, “Amanda.” You tell her you are a boy and your name is “Alf.” You overhear the doctors talking about the girl, Tiffany, who won’t be seeing another Christmas. You walk down the hall and to hide, you climb onto bottom of gurney that ends up with a pregnant gal, then get caught in a broken elevator where you end up delivering a baby girl. You suggest the name “Tiffany” to the mom and she keeps it for her baby girl. You hop back into the truck of the guy who delivered toys to the hospital and the driver stops on the bridge. He gets out and is about to jump over the rails into the river. He, the driver, George has lost his wife in the recent past and misses her. You, Alf, stop George from jumping off the bridge and tell George he has a lot to live for and has helped many people in the past. George does not jump. George takes Alf to where the Tanners are, in a cabin in the woods, out looking for Alf. Alf just jumped down the chimney, and tells the Tanners, “Merry Christmas.” In the epilog, the Tanners go see Tiffany in the hospital, tell her they have a mutual friend, show her a picture of Alf. She goes to the window, waves to Alf, and mouths, “I love you, Alf” as he sits in the car down below and waves to her. During the credits, there is a post that says, Dedicated to the Memory of our Friend, Tiffany, gives her last name and dates, 1979-1987. It is a 1987 Christmas episode.

    Thank you Alf. Happy Holidays to You, too !!! :-)

  510. To CS-
    Having the last four months or so, chatting with you and Alf and the others, has been the present I’ve received this holiday. My sister in Des Moines has invited me to her house for Christmas Day but not eat until 4:30 pm. After eating and visiting, the time to return back home will be very late. With single digit temps and probably hordes of holiday drivers out that night on the interstate and hiways, I’m leery to go out so will stay home for Christmas Day. My Aunt and Uncle did not send the box of small presents they usually do, so I guess these chat threads for Survivor and Big Brother will be my present from All of You.

    Happy Holidays and may your New Year be Merry and Bright. :-)

  511. I would like to see more of Almora (I think that’s how you spell it.) Say Robert you have a brother name Richie? I worked w/him as a kid. and Semper Fi.

  512. Yes Sonny my brothers name is Richie. He went to Steinmetz high school we grew up in Chicago

  513. Tell Richie hi for me. He knew me as Eddie we worked at the Harding theater in Logan Square. You used to play w/the Mob, what happened with that?

  514. Sorry to say Rich passed away in 2006.Rich had a heart atack. I travelled with the Mob for ten years. Great years I left the Mob in 1975 and took a job with Three dog night. I was with them for a year and half. I didn’t want to travel anymore when they broke up. I left Las Angeles and moved to Vegas in 1977. My ma and dad moved there to and Rich moved his family there in 1980. I retired in 2011.

  515. We left Chi in 85 lived in Vegas till 94 I was the Pool Mgr. at the Sands till they tore it down then we moved to Clarksville,Tn. I worked at a Max Security Prison for 5yrs then went to the Montgomery County Sheriffs Dept. I retired in 2012. Bobby I am so sorry to hear about Richie he was one of the good guys. Did he and Kathy ever get married? I remember that was all he thought about. And I still bleed Cubbie Blue.

  516. Hi Sonny Rich and Kathy did get married they had two sons. I am sure Rich didn’t know you lived in Vegas. Rich and Kathy moved to Vegas I believe around/1980. We use to come to Kentucky a couple of time a year. My wife’s daughter and son lived in Cadiz Kentucky. I wish my brother was alive to see the Cubs win the World Series he was a big Cub fan also. I am going to go to Mesa when spring training starts. Go Cubs.

  517. This is really a small world. My wifes mom and dad live in Cadiz we live in Clarksville, about 30miles from Cadiz when I retired from the Montgomery County Sheriffs Dept. we just stayed here it is really a nice town. And yea i’m still a die hard Cub fan. Sure wish I could join you in Mesa,but I will have to settle for T.V.

  518. We have been to Clarksville always landed in Nashville and either rented a car or got picked up. On our way to Cadiz. Both of the kids lived there but now both have moved. Our son is back in Vegas and our daughter is in Salt Lake City. It was good the grandkids grew up there. And not in Vegas. Always loved the ham festival in Cadiz.
