Survivor: Last Resort: Cape Verde - Episode 12
On the shores of Santiago Island, four castaways walk against a setting sun. Rajon Jackson, the aspiring DJ from Brooklyn who is liked by all but was never able to hold a solid alliance throughout the game. Fiona Robinson, the retired country singer who has used her motherly instincts to build relationships in the game to get her this far. Jim Marshall and Jose Mendes, the ice cold financial analyst and cunning talent agent who survived the decimation of their tribe through cutthroat whatever-it-takes gameplay.
Only one can win the $2 million grand prize.
They arrive at the challenge platform, where Jeff awaits them with a smile on his face. He congratulates them on making it this far in one of television’s most iconic games of all time. He confirms that there will be a Final 3 this season, meaning this next challenge is absolutely crucial. They all seem a little nervous except for Rajon, who possesses a calm focus in his eye.
In the final challenge, castaways have to navigate through a maze blindfolded. The first castaway to retrieve four necklaces at stations within the maze and then find the immunity necklace at the end of the maze would win the final immunity. After a long grueling search, Jim wins his first individual immunity of the season and starts to cry - showing off his first bit of emotion all season.
Coming into the last challenge, Jim’s plan was to stick with Jose in the Final 4 vote and then prove his worthiness over him in the Finals. However, that was more of a plan if he did not win immunity. This win puts him in a trickier spot.
Jose, however, knows that the focus will be on him during this vote. With no Hidden Immunity Idols left in the game, he will need to push hard to make it into the Final 3. His first move is to talk with Jim, for better or worse. He senses that Jim is ready to finally cut him loose but Jose makes a pitch to get Fiona out. She is well liked by just about everybody and is an articulate talker (which could go far in front of a jury). The two of them are honest with each other about being two of the best strategists this season and saying how much of a miracle it is that they survived this far.
Jose tries to talk to Rajon but Rajon rejects any game advances immediately. In confessional, Jose says a quiet prayer and says he’s not going out with a whimper.
Still not convinced about Jim’s vote, he next goes to Fiona about voting out Rajon. He explains that Rajon could get some sympathy votes in the end, even if he didn’t have much of a game. Plus, if Jose and Jim are both in the final 3, they might split votes - leaving Fiona an opportunity to pick up the Brava votes for the win. Some of his arguments seem to have caught on with her but she says that she can’t get over him blindsiding Megan. She is usually a straight-up person so she tells Jose that there is no way she is voting for him to stay.
Jose scrambles and goes to talk to Jim again, who appears on the fence. Jose pitches Jim on Plan B. If Rajon and Jose tie votes, then they will have to compete in a fire-making challenge. The first person to make a fire out of scratch advances. He knows he can beat Rajon in that and, even if he loses, he is willing to put his game in his own hands. Jim is now intrigued and admits that he wouldn’t mind facing off with Jose in the Finals to prove who is best. He tells Jose that he will help him practice the fire-making. The two of them do that as Fiona and Rajon talk. Rajon is adamant that he is voting out Jose no matter what as he doesn’t like his cutthroat attitude. Fiona agrees and confirms that she is voting him out.
At tribal council, the talking is short. Jose, Fiona, and Rajon each make their different pleas. Everyone reflects on their games but aren’t too revealing, as they don’t want to make their whole pitch to the jury just yet. Jeff asks Jim about finally winning his first immunity and Jim says that this always the one that counted the most. They talk about how the desperation levels have been risen over the last few votes and how gets harder to vote people out the farther you go into the game. Jeff tells them that is part of the beauty of Survivor - getting rid of people that you hope will vote for you to win in the end. It is time to vote.
First vote...Jose
…..Jose
Jose looks at Jim, nervously, and Jim mouths “Sorry”.
The thirteenth person voted off of Survivor: Last Resort and the seventh and final member of our jury...Jose. The tribe has spoken. Jose looks betrayed but accepts his defeat. Fiona blows a kiss to Megan on the jury, having avenged her elimination. Jeff tells the final 3 that they will have a celebratory feast before returning to this spot to pitch their cases to the jury for the title of Sole Survivor.
At the feast, they not only savor the food but the experience itself. They’re all skinnier, the men a month unshaven. After they eat, they are surprised that the compound includes a shower - which they all have been looking forward to for weeks now.
The three castaways left arrive at Tribal Council for the final time of the season. After they sit down, Jeff brings out the jury. Jim Bonds. Chad. Francis. Laura. Chase. Megan. And finally, Jose. Jeff explains that jury will each get to ask a question and the finalists will then get a chance to make a final plea.
Bonds is first. Sensing the nerves on the players faces, he scraps his question and decides to ask how they are feeling. Rajon smiles at his old pal and says all is good. Fiona says that she’s made it through childbirth three times so she’ll get through. Jim, meanwhile, says he is scared as hell.
When Chad approaches, he asks a pointed question to Jim: how did you survive the tribal swap that saw him and Jose in the minority? He says that it was a two-step process. First, he knew he that he didn’t want to turn on Jose like the Brava people expected. That would have made his odds of survival of at least 50% or less so he needed to get a sense of previously established tribe dynamics. Once it became clear that Bonds vs. Sally was brewing for a while, he decided to hitch his wagon to one of the sides and descend into the shadows.
Francis comes up and says he jokingly that he is still not over the fake idol (before giving a hard stare at Jose). He asks them what the most difficult part of the game was for each of them. Rajon says he’s not going to lie - he hates lying. That is why he always had to be honest, which is detrimental to anyone’s chances in this game. Jim says that the hardest part for him was the challenges. They are just as important as strategy and he never could win one until the last one. So, basically, he’s no Chase. Fiona starts to tear up and says being away from her family from this long was excruciating. The physical and mental stresses of the game are bad enough but, on top of that, her mind couldn’t stop thinking about how her son did on his math exam or how her daughter’s recital went.
Laura uses her platform to talk directly to Rajon. She says that she wants to commend him for the way that he played the game and not to feel ashamed about it. There was a point that she felt a little lost in the game and he felt like one of the only real people out there.
Chase asks them what is the one thing they would do differently if they could. Fiona says that she wouldn’t have trusted Jose in the Final Five vote. She always should have wanted to go to the finals with Megan and Rajon and she was so hurt by seeing her friend go at that point. Rajon says that he doesn’t live with regrets and he thinks that he is there for a reason. Jim says that he is an analytical thinker, a bit too much at times, and wishes he could have turned the game off and got to know everyone a little bit more.
Megan wants a simple answer from each of them. Who was the hardest person for them to cut? Rajon says Francis, as they were once pretty close. Jim says someone most of them don’t know: Puma (he doesn’t say he accidentally voted her out). Fiona says voting out Chase in the circumstances they did was heartbreaking.
Jose asks what their one big move was. Fiona says creating the alliance with Megan, Jose, and Jim is what ensured her a place in the finals. Rajon says playing his idol on Bonds shifted the momentum of the game and Bonds shakes his head and agrees. Jim looks Jose in the eyes and says it was convincing Jose that deceiving him at the Final 4 was crucial. He doesn’t think he could beat him, so he tried as hard as possible to make Jose feel safe so he wouldn’t campaign because he knew he could probably convince them if he tried.
Jeff gives them a chance to make their final case.
Rajon says that he never thought he’d make it here but here he is. He wanted to play clean and is proud to have made it to the end without being cutthroat. The grand prize would be life changing but the experience itself has already been life-changing enough. He thanks them all.
Jim says that he has been on the backfoot this entire game. On a tribe that couldn’t win a challenge to being in a 6-2 minority and surviving. He was rarely in the minority of the vote and almost always had a hand in ensuring that the target wasn’t on him. And while he couldn’t win any challenges, he ended up winning the most important one at the exact moment he needed to.
Fiona says that she took her role as the mom of the tribe seriously and crafted well-meaning relationships along the way. She tells them that she was harboring a secret and that she was a popular country singer in the 90s, prompting Bonds to say he knew she looked familiar. She was always the architect of alliances that had her best interest in mind, even if they didn’t work out (like with the Sally vote).
Jeff says that it is time to vote. This time, the name they write down will be for who they want to win.
After collecting the votes, Jeff says that he will take these votes to Madison Square Garden in New York City, where the votes will be read in front of a live audience.
Chad voted for...Jim.
Laura voted for...Rajon.
Megan voted for...Fiona.
1 vote each, four votes left.

As Jim’s family and girlfriend come out to celebrate with him, Jeff reveals tells Chase, Jim Bonds, and Kaiser to come up front and center. They were the three finalists for Fan Favorite. The winner of Fan Favorite and $100,000...Jim Bonds! A good season for the name Jim, huh?
Jeff also says that we are pleased to announce that Survivor: Last Resort will be returning for a second season! APPLY NOW: forms.gle/QX3JqiuhN7zxkmcJA
