The season finale is here as we wait to find out who won Survivor 2016 between the six remaining castaways with three Millennials and three Gen-X left from their original tribes.
Which side of the battle will come out on top? We’ve still got a few eliminations as we work down from the F6 toward our final Survivors of the night with the Survivor Jury looking to add to its numbers before they make their big decision. We’ll be here with our live recap starting at 8PM ET so be sure to join us!
Buckle up because tonight’s Survivor 2016 finale will be moving fast over its three hour span. We’ve still got six castaways on the beach and only seven in the jury so that’ll need to be remedied quickly. Let’s see who heads to Ponderosa next and who makes it back to the live stage still waiting on Jeff’s big reveal.
And we’re off with Jeff taking us backstage to see the whole cast of Millennials Vs Gen-X gathered and ready to find out who is going to win. Jeff also lets us know we’ll get a tease of Survivor 2017’s Season 34 which we know will be returning players. So let’s get to it!
We start off with Jay lamenting his unnecessary use of his safety net Idol, but fear not, Jay fans. On his way back to camp the next morning Jay spots a special pink coconut and goes back for it to find the necklace waiting for him. Jay is back in the game.
Now it’s time to discover the Legacy Advantage for Ken since he made it to Day 36. Oh wow. This advantage guarantees Ken a spot in the F5 with immunity at the next Tribal Council. He’ll just announce it after the votes. With no other opportunity to use it this is a sure thing for Ken in the first round.
The first Immunity and Reward challenges will be combined in to one event as the final six castaways will traverse an obstacle course and scramble to be the first to finish their puzzle on the other side.
So not only does the first to finish win Immunity at tonight’s first Tribal Council but they also get reward. They’ll be playing for the luxury of a juicy steak waiting for them back at camp. Hopefully it’s a cooked one.
Jay is the first through the key combo and he blows it by not covering the numbers like he was supposed to. Everyone is able to use this to their advantage. Sheesh. David still manages to struggle with the provided solution but Adam is still behind him.
Jay still manages to have a small lead but it could have been a wider gap as everyone is here at the end working on their solutions. The lead is going back and forth between Jay and David… Jay drops his whole puzzle to the ground! David finishes and wins.
David wins Immunity.
But wait, there’s more! As Jeff describes that David will be picking two people to join him Jay announces he’ll be stealing the reward per the advantage Jay gave him. David looks stunned. Jay is quick to let David know he’ll join him for the meal and Adam will too since Adam gave him the power.
Someone’s game is about to end. Who do you think it will be? Grab your torch and get some fire.
Ahead of the Council the talk was between Jay as a threat or Bret for his social game with the Jury. Adam is trying to decide while David is also swaying. Which way will they go?
Before the votes are announced Jay lets Jeff know he wants to play the Idol he picked up. BUT WAIT! It’s bogus! This is the fake one we saw in the preview that David created. I guess we’ll see more of it later. Jeff tosses it in the fire. What a great moment. So good.
Jeff reveals the votes: Ken, Jay, Jay, Jay. That’s enough votes.
Jay Starrett has been voted off Survivor.
On to the next round of events for tonight’s episode…
The Survivor 2016 finale continues as the Final 5 castaways keep rolling through tonight’s episode.
Castaways must move a buoy along a rope in to shore before using a pair of handles to move letters up to the beach. There they’ll have to assemble the letters in to the phrase “Not A Participation Trophy.”
Everyone struggles through the course and it’s Hannah who gets to the puzzle stage last. This portion doesn’t last long as it’s Ken who solves it first.
Ken wins Immunity.
Back at camp Adam goes on the hunt and finds an Idol, or at least we think it’s an Idol which we have to wait and see after that last one. Now Adam is trying to get votes rallied against David while David is doing the same back at Adam. Interesting situation.
Someone is about to get voted off Survivor just shy of F4. Who will it be?
Jeff reveals the votes: David, Bret, David, Bret, Bret. That’s enough votes.
Bret LaBelle has been voted off Survivor.
The final four has a ridiculously frustrating challenge here as they’ll have to stack 13 bowls or have the most at the end of the clock. Everyone keeps seeing their bowl stacks fall time after time from the wind. At the end of the clock it’s Ken and Hannah tied. Showdown time.
Ken and Hannah are going to try again but they’ve only got five minutes this time… This is a crazy wild one and it comes down to the very last seconds…
Ken wins Immunity!
Ken has his spot in the F3 but the other three need to scramble. Hannah and Adam promise to vote out David. Can they flip Ken?
Jeff reveals the votes: David, Adam, David, David.
Ohh snap. Ken flipped and voted out his ally.
David Wright has been voted off Survivor.
Final Three of Survivor 33: Adam, Hannah, and Ken. They’ll face off before the Jury’s brutal Q&A. There we get the feeling that Adam could be pulling ahead here in the vote, but we’ll have to wait for the official reveal.
Jeff reveals the final vote: Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam… That’s enough. Jeff reveals that Adam got every single vote from the Jury. WOW!
Adam Klein has won Survivor 2016!
Jeff lets us know that Stand Up 2 Cancer is partnering with Survivor to raise research funds for lung cancer, the disease that took Adam’s mother. Adam revealed his mother passed an hour after he returned home from Fiji and he was able to talk with her before she was gone.
Adam is donating $100,000 to the cause and the first $100,000 will be matched as well. You can go here to donate and I’ll be doing that too.
