View gallery

Five players are left at the beginning of the Survivor season 43 finale: Owen Knight, Mike Gabler, Karla Cruz Godoy, Cassidy Clark and Jesse Lopez. Of the five players, Jesse is the only one left with a hidden immunity idol, which will be good for just the final five vote. The episode begins with the final five heading back to a new camp, where they’ll have to start over as the game winds down.

All the players get a clue to a secret advantage, but they can’t start searching for it until they correctly solve a word scramble. Karla solves the puzzle first, but is slowed down by a hurt ankle. Owen is next to solve correctly, but Karla finds the advantage first. Since Karla has various injuries and knows she’s a threat in the game, the advantage comes at a good time. The letter reveals that she’ll get a leg up in the next immunity challenge.

At the immunity/reward challenge, the players have to complete various different obstacles, collect puzzle pieces and then solve a word puzzle. Karla’s advantage allows her to collect less puzzle pieces, placing a third of them at the finish platform already. In the end, though, it’s Owen who solves the puzzle fastest and wins immunity. In addition to being safe at tribal, Owen also gets a protein packed meal for his reward to help him carry through the final days.

Keep refreshing because we’ll be updating our live blog with episode updates throughout the entire finale! A winner will be announced at the end of the episode.
