Previously on "Survivor"

Jane, the tribe has spoken.

You all have fun.

On day 36, when Jane was voted out, there were only five left in the game,

but back on day one...

Welcome to "Survivor: Nicaragua"

No one would have predicted that Dan, Fabio, Sash, Holly or Chase

would have gone so far.

They all followed an improbable path to the end.

Dan stepped into the hostile Nicaraguan rain forest waring

$1600 shoes and having no idea what he was getting into.

Three seconds in...

Dan is out of the challenge.

During the challenges, he was either ineffective...

or didn't participate at all.

This tribe might think I'm a weak link, but I don't consider myself a weak link.

But he's the only one left who hasn't made any enemies, ****

*** to me he's like an old wise guy.

Holly's trip to the final five was also extremely improbable.

Holly, I'm not so sure that everybody is

as comfortable as they were when we started.

- Are you? - No.

Holly was even more uncomfortable back on day five

When she completely flipped out and stole Dan's shoes.

The New York city boy, Danny, he doesn't like sand on him

so let's just fill his shoes up.

Later when she tried to quit...

I can't do it.

A pep talk from coach Jimmie Johnson completely turned her game around.

We really do need you.

And by day 27, she had become the godmother of her tribe

and pulled off a successful hit on Brenda who at the time was

time was the most strategic player in the game.

We're all in consensus that Brenda has to go first.

She's the ringleader.

At the last tribal council, Chase got into hot water

water when he revealed his final three alliance.

To be clear, there is a three-person alliance.

It is Chase, it is Holly, and it is Sash.

- Yeah. - Yes.

But his alliances aren't always what they seem.

Since day three, every person Chase had ever aligned with...

Without me and you, I think they're screwed.

There's no reason for me to backstab you.

I had no idea you were such a badass woman.

He eventually voted out.

Sorry, dude. This isn't what I wanted at all.

I wish this wouldn't have happened.

Chase had angered so many people...

By god, I started it. I put it out.

That it was a wonder he was still in the game.

At the last tribal council, Chase and Sash were safe

because they both had hidden immunity idols.

Thank you.

Sash had come a long way since day 28 when he was a dead man walking.

I find myself faced with an uphill struggle to try to get to the end.

His allies, NaOnka and Purple Kelly, quit.

Head out.

So he's aligned with no one.

I'm kind of like a free agent.

I'd like to work with whoever had me in their plans.

But he made secret side deals with everyone to go to the end.

Will you swear you will take me no matter what?

Yes.

I hold more chips than anyone else still remaining.

And now he's back in contention.

- Let me ask the question... who's next? - Whoever doesn't win immunity next.

It sounds like if I don't win again I could be going next.

Its writing is on the wall, Fabio.

Right now, no one is in a deeper hole than Fabio.

Back on day one, Fabio was dismissed as a goof ball.

The guy with the long, blond hair, he's a dumb blond.

I never really called a guy a dumb blond before but he's a dumb blond.

My strategy to be out in the open and make people laugh

and be all crazy, I call it being cool.

But when his life was on the line, he won the last immunity challenge.

Which proved to everyone he is a serious player.

I always tell myself no matter what happens, you know,

I make the best of the pieces there.

Tonight, everyone's improbable journey will come to an end.

Grab your torches and head back to camp.

After 36 days of surprises...

the biggest are yet to come.

One of these five people will outwit, outplay, and outlast

all the others to win the million-dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor.

Day 37... Unbelievable.

After last night's tribal council, realizing that Sash,

Holly, and Chase are pretty tight, you know, I definitely

think it's in my best interest to break them up.

I feel like they think I'm the big threat now. They want me out next.

- The next one out should be Holly. - That's what I'm saying.

It should be a no-brainer.

Sorry Holly for being a little bit down, but I realize

the way things are lining up and I'm not in a good position here.

I mean, you, Sash, and Chase seem pretty tight.

It's anybody's game.

Well, you want to go to the final three with me or do you want to go with Chase?

What about me?

I'm very much aware of the position I'm in and I'll go out fighting.

Unless somebody else has a better plan.

So what are you saying your plan is?

Try to win immunity.

I'm not very comfortable going to tribal council without a necklace right now.

But I gotta be cool right now. I can't let on that I'm playing the game.

Sash, how do you really feel about things?

I really think Dan and Holly are huge threats.

Fabio is definitely a little bit on edge, which he should be,

if I was in his shoes, I would be as well.

But there's a very good chance Fabio could make an immunity run and

go all the way to the end. So you better believe that I'm telling Fabio...

what he wants to hear.

You know what I want.

But I don't know... I don't know how tight you and Chase really are.

Chase and I are tight. I would like to go to the end with Chase.

Just like I'd like to go to the end with you.

If you only have one clear-cut strategy in Survivor...

chances are you're not going to make it all the way to the end.

I'm trying to find as many avenues to make final three as possible,

so if that means making promises to every single person left on my tribe,

that's what I'm going to do.

Fabio's extremely nervous right now because...

He thinks that, you know, he's the next to go, which he is.

- So the same plan as always, right. - Yeah, yeah.

We've got a big challenge coming up, and we're gunning for Fabio.

Fabio is a huge physical threat. He can win his way to the end,

and he's been winning immunities. He won the last one,

and if Fabio loses the next immunity, he's going home tonight.

Come on in, guys.

You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?

- Yup. - Absolutely.

First things first, Fabio. Give it up.

Thank you.

Once again immunity is back up for grabs.

On my go, you'll race out to a station...

where you will find a question about Nicaragua.

To select your answer, choose the corresponding bag and race back.

If you're right, the bag will contain puzzle pieces.

If you're wrong, the pieces will be black.

You'll have to go back and get the right bag.

Once you have answered all three questions and collected all

three bags of puzzle pieces, you'll use the pieces to solve the puzzle.

First person to get it right wins immunity.

And will have a one-in-four shot at the million dollars.

We'll draw for spots and get started.

All right, here we go, for immunity.

And a guaranteed spot in the final four, survivors ready?

Go!

See what you know about Nicaragua.

Everybody working on that first question.

Nicaragua shares its southern border with Costa Rica,

its northern border with what country?

Did you study before you came?

If you think you know what the answer is, grab that bag and head back.

Holly got it right. If you have it right there are puzzle pieces. Head back out.

If you have it wrong, it will be black, and you are wrong.

Sash got it right. Fabio got it right.

Everybody got the first question right.

Honduras is north of Nicaragua.

Question number two, "the east coast of Nicaragua is also known as what?"

Holly heading back with her second bag.

Chase and Sash heading back with their second bags.

Do they have it right? Holly is two for two.

Sash got it right. Chase is two for two.

Fabio, wrong. Frustrated, tosses his pieces.

He's got to head back out.

Next question, "in the early 16th century,

these people claimed Nicaragua for Spain."

Chase and Holly coming back with their third bag.

Sash right behind. Fabio racing back.

Fabio no back with his second bag.

While Chase, Holly and Sash are all on their third bags.

Holly has it right. She's working on the puzzle. Chase is working on the puzzle.

Sash has it right. He's working on the puzzle.

Fabio working on that third question. Fabio and Dan way behind.

You know what it is. It is the logo from this season.

Holly getting there. Sash making a lot of progress.

Fabio still working on that third question.

Fabio now back with his third bag. Does he have it right?

He does. Fabio now working on the puzzle.

But he's got to make up a lot of time.

Who's going to finish first?

Who's going to be guaranteed a spot in the final four.

Dan now back with his third bag. And he has it right.

Everybody working on their puzzle now.

It is Sash with a huge lead right now.

Holly trying to get into it. Chase having a hard time.

Dan way behind. Fabio making a lot of progress.

Fabio was behind but he has caught up quickly.

We've got a race. It is Fabio and Sash right now. Neck and neck.

Holly's starting to get into it. Chase still behind.

Fabio has made up a lot of time.

It is still Fabio and Sash, both very close.

Fabio won the last immunity. Can he do it back to back?

Sash getting closer. Fabio very close.

Fabio has it! Fabio wins immunity!

- Nice job, Fabio. - I'm missing a piece.

Must have fell out when you dumped them out.

- Fabio, come on over. - Good job, Fabio.

Once again, Fabio has immunity. You will live to see the final four.

One step closer to the final tribal council.
