Challenges

Challenge: Try Again
The Survivors would compete in an obstacle course that used elements of past Challenges. First, they would have to dig deep into the sand to retrieve a wicker ball and race over a bamboo balance beam. Next, they would have to push the wicker ball through a fishnet and place the ball on a pedestal. The next stage consisted of solving a puzzle, which would release a knife. They were then to take the knife and cut a rope that released a bag of material that would help them negotiate their next task of retrieving a key from inside a jail cell. The final stage was a surprise Thai delicacy, and the first person to consume it would win Immunity, thus ensuring themselves a spot in the Final Three.
Winner: Brian Heidik

Challenge: Slip Through Your Fingers
Castaways must hold a Thai pose while holding coins between their fingers. If they run out of coins, they are out of the challenge. Last person standing wins immunity.
Winner: Brian Heidik

Voting Confessionals

“	(voting for Helen) Cause and effect. You caused this effect.	”
—Brian Heidik

“	(voting for Helen) You got busted, uh, talking on both sides of the fence. You're a hell of a cook and I'll miss you, but I will kiss the cook later in life. Good bye.	”
—Clay Jordan

Final Words

“	Wow, that was a shock, um, especially since I asked, uh, Brian directly if I should plan on coming back tonight, and I was given an emphatic yes. So, I guess of the three knives in my back right now, uh, that's the one that smarts the most. So, uh, the three of you that are left, break a leg, and I mean it.	”
—Helen Glover

Day 38

Tribal Council 14: Chuay Jai
Voted Against	Voter
Jan (1 vote)	Brian
VOTED OUT: Jan Gentry

Voting Confessionals

Brian's vote was not shown to the camera during his voting confessional.

“	(voting for Jan) You've come a long way, a long, long way. Congratulations. It's been my pleasure.	”
—Brian Heidik

Final Words

“	My experience on Survivor has just been totally surreal. I didn't know I could ever be here 38 days in a bat cave with rats and snakes. If there's one thing I've learned is don't listen to the word "you can't do something," don't quit. I'm a teacher-- I don't want any of my students to ever quit anything.	”
—Jan Gentry

Final Tribal Council

Tribal Council 15: Jury Vote
Voted for Winner	Voter
Brian (4 votes)	Helen, Jake, Jan, Ted
Clay (3 votes)	Erin, Ken, Penny
RUNNER-UP: Clay Jordan
SOLE SURVIVOR: Brian Heidik

Voting Confessionals

“	(voting for Clay) I'm actually voting for Clay tonight. I'm basing my vote on honesty, and Clay, I feel that you have been honest to everyone. On the other hand, I do not feel Brian has. Good luck.	”
—Erin Collins

“	(voting for Brian) You know, this would have been a very, very easy decision. You messed up, Brian. You messed up. You assumed that what we were writing in the sand was a scheme against you. It wasn't. It was a scheme against Clay, not you. You need to check yourself. I know that there are people out there that remain committed to their word. My word was my bond, and it's pitiful that you didn't know that. But that you are the lesser of the two evils.	”
—Ted Rogers, Jr.

“	(voting for Clay) I think that, uh, of the two that are left, um, that Clay really took the time to get to know me as a person in the twelve days I had with them, and Brian never did.	”
—Penny Ramsey

“	(voting for Brian) Brian, what happened between you and I happened between you and I, but in the context of the game, I'm a bigger person and can look beyond what happened to me. You deserve to win. You had a work ethic that was great the entire time out here. Several of the team challenges, you almost singlehandedly won on your own, so for that and your work ethic, you get my vote tonight. Good luck. Hope you win.	”
—Helen Glover
