Once they have all three bags, the caller will lead their still blindfolded tribemates to a puzzle station and lead two members of their tribe in solving the puzzle, while blindfolded. The first two tribes to solve the puzzle win.
Winners (in order of finish): Yanuya and Naviti

Voting Confessionals

	Desiree	“	(voting against James) It was either you or me. I'm hoping it's you.	”

	James	“	(voting against Desiree) I was given a second chance and I really, really wish I could give it to you too. I'm sorry.	”

Final Words

	James	“	That was a great blindside and I honestly didn't really see it coming, so hats off to them. But I'm oddly at peace, because these seventeen days, even though it's gonna be a fraction of my life, have really changed me, and I'm gonna go back to the real world as a new person with a new perspective, and so I am humbled and I'm grateful to say that I have played Survivor.	”
