(HAUNTING MUSIC)
JONATHAN: Samoa.
A remote paradise
as beautiful as it is dangerous.
This season saw the game return
to where it all began.
As two primal opposing forces collided.
Heroes v Villains.
Get it, get it, get it!
(SURVIVORS SHOUT)
Here to outwit...
Sign them to me!
Another one. Another.
..outplay...
Go, Liz! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
..and outlast.
Matt wins individual immunity. Yes!
A hidden immunity idol.
It's in my arse crack right now. Yeah, it is too.
It was most certainly not an idol, I found out.
This day's the worst.
For 46 days... (LIZ CHEERS)
You bloody turn on me, I'll turn on you.
I want to move forward with you guys as a double agent.
Feeling a little bit evil, but it's good fun.
Through the most loyal alliances...
Yes. Yeah.
LIZ: The Spice Girls!
You can't take the villain out of the Shiz.
GEORGE: When did the Spice Girls become the Shiz?
(DISSONANT CHORDS) (CLOCK TICKS)
(NECK CRACKS)
..and spectacular blindsides...
You're a dead duck unless you save Steve.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Whoa!
(WHISPERS)
GERRY: Going back there,
I've been working with George and learning from him.
Shonee. No way.
I feel awful. (SNIFFLES)
Now that I've voted off Shonee, I can wear her clothes.
One by one...
(WHISPERS)
I'll buy you a case of beer if I'm wrong.
Oh! Sam.
Hayley. Did not see that coming.
..they were voted out.
I'm playing this game so good!
No-one's resume comes anywhere near me!
The tribe has spoken.
Now, with the end near,
just four remain.
Gerry.
Matt.
Liz.
And George.
Two heroes, two villains.
One will be crowned...Sole Survivor.
(BIRDSONG)
(PEACEFUL MUSIC)
LIZ: I'm so happy.
GEORGE: I'm happy as well.
Yeah.
We've literally made it to the last point of the game.
Yay! We've made it to day 46!
GERRY: Coming into Survivor, I did not know what to expect.
But here we are - endgame.
Right from the start, I was prepared to fly to the end of the Earth
for my Hero tribe.
But when the original Hero tribe
sent me to the Villains' side,
that flicked a switch.
I became the Heroes' scorn.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
And one by one,
I slowly took out the people that wronged me.
Bang, bang, bang!
I have been so underestimated in this game.
And now I'm here to take it out.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(RAIN POURS)
GEORGE: I came in here with the biggest target on my back.
But look at me now!
I didn't come here to decrease my threat level.
I ramped it up.
I've proven why I'm one of the legends of the game.
But my work's not finished.
I've got the final Immunity Challenge
standing before me and tomorrow's final Tribal Council.
(DRAMATIC CHORAL MUSIC)
If I can present my case to the jury,
Heroes v Villains will be the coronation of the King!
Nobody deserves that crown more than me.
(EVIL LAUGHTER ECHOES)
(INTENSE MUSIC)
It's crazy to think I've outlasted 20 other players out here.
I'm humbled to have made it this far.
But I know today's gonna be one of the biggest and toughest challenges
of my life,
because right now, the stakes are high.
They're higher than they've ever been in this game.
Today, I need to win that necklace. Today, I need to win that challenge.
I've won three Immunity Challenges
and I could easily win another one.
I just can't let Liz win it...
..'cause it could wreck everything for me.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
LIZ: It's very clear -
Matt, Gerry and George have an unbreakable bond.
If I don't win individual immunity...
..I'm out of here.
Being an Olympian,
my whole life has been about pushing my body, pushing my mind,
getting in the zone, dealing with failure.
But...
..losing today is not an option.
Everything I've done in the last 46 days comes down to this moment.
I'm ready to get it done.
(HAUNTING VOCAL MUSIC)
KRISTIE: Lee, you've got to let me have this one.
(SIGHS) If you let me have this immunity, I will take you.
(TEARY) I just want to get to the end!
(SOBS)
Oh!
JONATHAN: Every wave now just cuts to the bone.
(HAUNTING MUSIC CONTINUES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Well, congratulations. You've made it to day 46.
You have outlasted 20 other heroes and villains to make it here
right where our first hero was born eight seasons ago.
Well done.
Thank you so much. That's great. Thanks.
Alright, are you ready to get to your final Immunity Challenge?
Yes! Let's go.
For the last time,
immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge...
..you're gonna balance on a narrow perch
while holding onto a handle behind your head.
At various intervals, I'm gonna turn a crank...
(GEARS CREAK)
..forcing spikes into your back,
making it more difficult to hold that position.
If at any point you step off, let go of the handle,
you're out of the challenge.
Last person still standing
wins immunity
and a guaranteed spot at that final Tribal Council,
where you will have a chance to pitch to the jury
why you deserve the title of Sole Survivor
and the half-million dollars that goes with it.
Now, this is a tough challenge and there's a lot on the line, so...
..we figured you might need a little extra motivation today.
(GASPS)
Oh, my God, stop.
George, are you ready for some love?
I'm ready for some love. Stop.
Bring it on. Alright. Come on in!
It's Cara! Yes!
Cara! (CARA CHUCKLES)
Mate!
Cara! I've made it!
(BOTH SOB)
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
Look at you. (GEORGE SOBS)
(CARA SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
..before you fall over. Oh!
So happy to see you!
Oh, grey! (LAUGHS)
Oh, my God! Hello!
Fancy seeing you here. Fancy seeing me here.
Hi. Hello. MATT: Nice to meet you.
(LAUGHS) Sorry. Hello!
Hi, Cara. So great to see you again.
So, George came into this game as a villain.
What's your take on that? Do you know what?
He's learnt from the last game, I think.
And he's come in... And I think he's a hero.
Alright, Liz, who are you hoping you're gonna see today?
(CARA CHUCKLES)
Daniel.
Let's see if we can deliver. Come on in!
Oh, my God.
(SOBS)
There he is! GEORGE: Yes!
(SOBS) (OTHERS APPLAUD)
Oh, my God! (SOBS)
This is unreal. (SOBS)
(KISSES)
DANIEL:
Yeah.
I know.
Oh, my God! And I missed your smell. (LAUGHS)
Ohh!
This is Daniel. (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Come stand with me here. MATT: Come in the middle.
Come on the mat, mate. (LAUGHS)
Welcome.
Liz, how much have you missed Daniel?
Oh, my God, I can't even put it into words how much I've missed him.
(SOBS)
Daniel, how much have you missed Liz?
A lot. A lot. I'm very proud.
So, are you surprised that she's made it this far?
Not at all. Two-time Olympian, mate.
It was what I was expecting.
Alright, Gerry, who do you hope we have hiding back there?
Well, of course, my fiancee, Pam.
Come on in!
There she is.
Oh, look at her. (SOBS)
PAM: Oh, my God!
PAM:
GERRY:
(LAUGHS)
Papa Smurf.
(SNIFFLES)
You be careful.
(SNORTS) Ahh.
Hello. Hello! Happy to meet you.
Join us, join us. We'll make room.
Look how beautiful she is. (LAUGHS)
So, Pam, is he normally that affectionate?
Always. Always?
Always.
So he's a keeper. Very much so.
I'm not always a mongrel. (LAUGHS)
Alright, Matt.
So, as I understand it,
before you came out here,
you found out that your wife was pregnant, right?
That's correct.
It must have been tough being away from her for so long.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
Come on in! Whoo!
Come on, Kirstie!
(LAUGHS)
Darling, you look like a caveman!
(LAUGHS)
I've missed you, my love! I've missed you too.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah.
Are you OK? Yep. Yep.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, darling.
Well, Kirstie, first, congratulations on the new bub.
Thank you. (LAUGHS)
And Matt's been playing this game as a hero.
Is that true to who he is back home?
(LAUGHS) I think so.
I don't think you could say he's a villain. (LAUGHS)
Wait and see.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Alright, loved ones, we're very happy that all of you could come out
and lend your support,
but you're gonna be cheering from the bench today.
I'm gonna give everyone a minute to catch up
and then, Matt, George, Gerry and Liz, we're gonna get to it.
It's gonna be good!
(LAUGHS) I've lost so much weight.
DANIEL: I've missed you so much. LIZ: I've missed you.
This is the most I've missed you.
Can't believe how much I've missed this.
(WIND AND SURF ROAR)
(HAUNTING VOCAL MUSIC)
Alright, everyone, take your positions.
Feet on the perches.
Hands on the handle.
(TENSE MUSIC)
For immunity...
..this challenge is now on.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
This is it.
All the chips pushed in on this one.
The only guarantee that you'll be there at that final Tribal...
..and have a chance to pitch your case
is to win this challenge.
That easy.
It's that easy.
Nah. No good for the shoulders.
I think this one's gonna be a grind, people.
You just need to keep both feet on that perch.
You need to keep your hands on that handle at all times,
even when you're readjusting.
You step off, take your hand off the handle, you're out of the challenge.
I mean, there is the little complication
of the spikes in your back, but...
Can't wait for you to backstab us, JLP.
(LAUGHS HEARTILY)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Tonight's Tribal Council is the last chance to make a big move.
How nice would it be to be immune from that?
Matt, how much do you think you need that necklace tonight?
Oh, look, I really, really want it.
I'm gonna be up here until I can't be anymore.
Yeah. I think so.
That swell is kicking up now!
Those waves are gonna start smashing.
Alright, might be time to turn up the heat a little bit.
GEORGE: Ooh, let's see what happens. Here we go.
Let's see what happens.
(GEARS GRIND)
First crank.
GEORGE: Ohhhhh! MATT: A little bit of a massage.
LIZ: Oh, that's nothing.
Give it another spin.
You want another spin? Yeah.
We've got to go Tribal Council. We don't have time.
(LAUGHS HEARTILY)
Alright. You got it, Liz. Oh!
Whatever Liz wants...
..Liz gets.
That's 12cm of spike right there.
There we go.
Bloody hell.
GEORGE: God...
God help us.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(TRIBAL MUSIC)
Ah, here comes the rain.
Whoo!
(CARA LAUGHS) You got this, darling.
Two OG Heroes and two OG Villains.
Nice even battle.
Not only are you battling each other and battling the pain,
you're also battling the elements.
Everything's wet now.
Gonna make it harder to hang onto that handle,
keep your feet on that perch.
One lapse in concentration...
And it's head first into the rocks.
No shot at immunity.
Alright, you've been up there for one hour.
Come on, guys. You look good.
PAM: Come on, Gerry! KIRSTIE: You got this, darling.
Come on, Lizard!
Let's give it another crank.
16cm of spike.
There's lots of movement now.
Every time you turn around trying to find something comfortable,
you keep bumping into those pesky spikes.
Gerry looks really uncomfortable.
Looks like he's in pain.
Soaked by the waves.
Fatigue really kicking in.
Bugger it. Gerry drops!
Oh, Gerry! GEORGE: Oh, Gerry, you OK?
Yeah. You alright, mate?
Big effort, Gerry. Careful, Gerry, careful.
Gerry's had enough. Careful.
Steps out. MATT: Well done, Gerry.
Do you need a hand? It was a big effort, Gerry.
Oh, God, I feel so bad for him.
He did amazing!
After an hour and five minutes,
Gerry had enough, drops out.
We're down to three,
Matt, Liz and George,
battling it out for one necklace.
One guarantee
of absolute safety tonight.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Alright. You've been at it for two hours.
Time for us to turn up the heat.
Here we go.
24cm of spike.
(GRUNTS)
Ooh!
Those spikes really have you stretched out now.
Lot of pain with every readjustment.
The further out they come, the harder it's gonna be to readjust.
Yeah. It's really hard already!
The sun, the wind, the rain,
the angry ocean smashing you.
It's all gonna take its toll.
So, George, it seems like you have this one in the bag.
I hope so.
It'd be a good time to win a challenge.
Do you need to win it or you just wanna win it?
I think everyone needs to win it.
It's the guaranteed way to pitch to the jury.
But I definitely want to win it.
No-one wants this more than me, I reckon.
So, Liz, George thinks he wants it more than you.
George can think what he likes.
(LAUGHS)
We'll see who's the last one standing, Georgie.
We will see.
(HAUNTING MELODY)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
This challenge has been going for three hours.
Three hours. Well done, guys. Well done, you guys.
I think it's time to match the aggression of the sea.
Let's crank it again.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
28cm of spike.
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
George starting to shake now.
Just cannot find any relief.
Come on, Georgie.
George really digging.
Not giving up.
Come on, George! You've got this!
You've done double this.
Argh!
Big painful readjustment from George.
Wow!
I can feel that pain all the way over here.
Everything's gotta be hurting by now.
GERRY: Unbelievable, guys!
The whole three of you deserve to win this challenge.
George clearly in a lot of pain now.
Find that next level, George!
(GROANS) I think...I'm coming down.
Ohhh. (OTHERS APPLAUD)
After three hours and 50 minutes,
George cannot hang any longer.
Amazing effort.
Whoo-hoo! Brilliant, Georgie.
Oh!
My legs are good. It's just my arms are dead.
Well done. Thank you.
PAM: Well done, George! KIRSTIE: Well done!
Now we have a showdown.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Hero versus villain.
Matt taking on Liz.
DANIEL: Come on, Liz! KIRSTIE: You're doing so well, Matt!
Doing so, so well.
Who can stay up there the longest?
Who's gonna take the honour
of that final necklace?
That is four hours.
GERRY: Good on you, guys. KIRSTIE: You can do this, Matt!
Watch out!
It's a mental game now.
It's purely about pushing through that pain.
(EXHALES)
CARA:
Keep going! Keep going! Think of everything you've been through.
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)
All the ups and downs.
Keep pushing. Keep... Just breathe and focus.
You're almost there.
You know how strong you are.
Think of what this will mean to you when you're home.
You want to go again?
Matt, Liz wants me to crank it again.
Let's just do it.
Alright, both Matt and Liz want one more crank.
Here it comes!
(GEARS CREAK)
That is it!
That's a full 32cm of spike.
Matt really shaking now.
(WOOD CREAKS)
Wow!
Holy (BLEEP)!
Trying to weave her way to the other side.
GEORGE:
Ohh. Just...
GEORGE:
(INTENSE MUSIC)
This is pure willpower now.
DANIEL: Think of the pain you've been through before.
Think of what this means.
Matt's struggling to hold on.
Fingertips on the edge of that handle.
Fatigue and cold the obstacle now.
Liz continues to shake.
Keep breathing!
Focus on your breathing!
The pain is just unbearable.
Oh! Hand comes off.
And that is it!
GEORGE: Liz just won! You won, Liz! CARA: Whoo!
After four hours and 10 minutes, Matt is out.
Sit down!
..and Liz wins final individual immunity.
(OTHERS APPLAUD) Well done, you!
Wow! What an effort.
You did so, so well.
You're amazing.
Wow! (SOBS)
You are a superwoman.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
CARA: Look at Georgie...
You're amazing. (KISSES)
(SOBS)
Liz, come on over! GEORGE: Well done, Liz!
Well done. Take your time, take your time.
Oh, still jelly legs.
(LAUGHS)
Whoo! Wow.
Wow. What an effort.
Individual immunity is yours. GEORGE: Well done, Liz!
Guaranteed a one-in-three shot at winning the title
and the half-million dollars that goes with it.
Daniel, how proud are you right now?
Mate, she's a legend, eh? GERRY: She is. She is indeed.
Indeed. Well done. That was a great effort.
Thank you. Alright.
George, Matt, Gerry, Tribal Council tonight,
where one of you will become the final member of our jury.
It won't be you. Well done. LIZ: Thank you!
GEORGE: Well done again, Liz.
Alright, I'll give you a minute to say goodbye to your loved ones.
Thank you, Cara. Head back to camp.
I'll see you in Double Bay next week.
And I'll see you tonight. Thank you for coming.
(LIZ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) Oh, you made me happy seeing you.
'Bye, guys! Good luck.
Nice to meet you, Kirstie. See you, guys.
The fact that Liz has won is not good for me.
Because she might turn on me tonight.
The stakes are really high.
But strategy is the sport that I'm good at.
Liz might be the Olympian,
but this is my Olympics
and I'm here playing for gold.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(BIRDSONG)
Thank you, George.
Thank you.
I'm in the top three and it feels bloody good.
It is such a special moment for me.
Mmm. Thank you.
MATT: Absolute amazing effort.
If I didn't win this final challenge,
Matt, Gerry and George were sending me to the jury bench.
Congratulations.
Thank you, guys, thank you. That was amazing. That was awesome.
Now, the boys I can see... they're petrified.
Whereas I'm walking around in my beautiful necklace.
Do you reckon you could've lasted way longer?
Nah. Ha!
Tonight, my wicked, wicked plan
is to send George to that jury bench.
George has blindsided me three times in this game
and this is my moment to take revenge on George.
(TENSE MUSIC)
If I can pull it off, this will be the perfect blindside.
You...you wait till you see the three of you.
Just...it was incredible. It was torturous.
I am so humbled...to watch. Thank you.
Oh, thank you, Gerry. That's so kind.
So humbled to watch. Thanks, Gerry.
Such a good day.
Met Kirstie, so... Well, we don't have time for that.
OK, well, let's...let's...let's have a round table of conversation.
Hmm. Let's face it.
Youse are all front-row contenders.
OK? Mm.
I...am not worthy after today's effort from you guys.
No, listen to me. You guys...
I'm just saying my thing and I'll be open in front of Liz.
Mm. OK?
'Cause I've always been as open as I possibly can.
At the end of the day, I don't want to break any promises.
You can go and have a talk with yourselves.
But I reckon put all votes on me.
That's where I stand. I'm happy to take...to cop the votes.
I'll do my best tomorrow, Gerry.
Yeah. Thank you, Gerry.
GEORGE: I can't believe it!
I'm happy to send Gerry to the jury. That's perfect.
It's an extra vote.
I think Gerry realises
he might as well let his best friend George win.
Every single decision that Gerry has made has benefited me.
I mean that. I will do it, Gerry.
OK.
And now my game comes down to this one final move.
I need to convince Matt and Liz
that the best person to send to the jury is Gerry.
I have to pull this one off
because it will determine whether I win this game or not.
(TENSE MUSIC)
MATT:
Um...
Obviously I want to get to the end. Yeah.
And this gives us both a chance to get to the end
if we can vote for Gerry.
I don't want to do it to him. Yeah.
I told him I'd never write his name down.
Yeah.
But if the only way that the two of us can get to the end
is by voting Gerry, it's our ticket to the end, Matt.
We have to vote Gerry. Yeah.
We have to.
It's sad, but... I guess it is what it is.
It is.
It's the best way for both of us to get there.
Alright. Thanks.
George isn't wrong.
If I let Gerry fall on his sword, it's the easy option.
It guarantees me the top three.
But Gerry's my closest ally out here.
And despite it's what he wants this afternoon, I can't let him go.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Um, Gerry, me and George just kind of agreed to vote you.
However, I'm not gonna vote for you. I'm only gonna vote for George.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
It's the only way I can win.
You can write that down whatever you want to do. I'm just telling ya.
I really don't want to go to fire. Um...
Sorry to...not...not give you your wish.
But that's just... No. Well, let me think about it.
Yeah, you can make up your mind there and there's no pressure.
You do what you want. If I write you, I write you.
Yep, that's fine. Yep. OK.
It's been a pleasure, Gerry.
It's been an absolute pleasure playing with you.
(DARK MUSIC)
So, what... What's the go?
Are we doing it?
I'm gonna vote for Gerry. Yeah.
Me and you vote for Gerry.
And then the worst case, I go to fire with Gerry.
OK. Vote for Gerry.
Yeah.
I'll do whatever you want. I'm voting Gerry.
Thank you, Liz. Love you, George.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
GEORGE: Usually, when I go into Tribal,
I know the outcome.
I know the numbers because I've organised them.
And tonight is exactly the same.
Gerry, Matt and Liz, they've never deviated away from me
even when I blindsided them.
The worst-case scenario,
I'll have to beat Gerry in a fire challenge to survive.
But I'm confident that Liz has my back tonight.
I said, "Glory or death," on day 1
and I reigned in a blaze of glory!
That's why I'm the King.
That's why I've gotten to the end
And that's why I'm going to win.
(SUBTLE MUSIC)
(FLAMES WHOOSH)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
GEORGE: Hello.
(JONATHAN LAUGHS) Afternoon.
(CHUCKLES)
(GERRY SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) Oh, it's back there, Gerry.
We'll now bring in the members of our jury.
Flick.
Sam.
Shaun.
Hayley.
Simon.
And Nina.
So, Liz, I said it at the challenge today
and I'm going to say it again -
incredible effort battling it out for over four hours
to take that final necklace.
How does it feel to be sitting here wearing it tonight?
Oh, I'm speechless, Jonathan.
The challenge was pretty hectic,
but having our families there,
it was just, like, all the motivation any of us needed.
There was no way I was getting down unless I literally fainted.
Um, that's the kind of motivation
that's been pushing Liz throughout this game.
And I've been really proud to work with Liz since day 1
at Villains Beach.
I like her frankness and directness.
She brings joy to camp.
But her strongest suit is the fact that she's driven
and she showed that today.
Liz, George heaping a lot of praise on you.
I know!
Thank you, George.
Yes, I am driven.
Today I knew I needed this necklace.
The bond that these three boys have is like a father and his sons.
And I'm on the outside of that.
So I knew that if I wanted to be here tomorrow for final Tribal,
I had to win.
Because otherwise I was toast.
So you honestly felt that if you didn't take that necklace,
you'd be walking down that path tonight?
110%.
Well, Matt, you certainly gave it everything today.
Now that Liz has immunity,
it is kind of an interesting situation.
You, George and Gerry,
who have been super-tight since the merge,
now have no choice but to vote for each other.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Um...yeah, definitely. One of us is definitely going to the jury.
And we need to be smart about who that is.
So, Gerry...
..is this a really difficult decision for you
to choose between your two closest allies?
Yeah, it's a huge dilemma, Jonathan.
I'm loyal to the both of them.
Yeah, this is...this is the vote that I didn't want to have to make.
So, um... (SIGHS)
..I'm stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Alright, well, I'm kind of curious to see how it's gonna play out,
so...it is...
..time to vote.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Alright, well, I'm kind of curious to see how it's going to play out,
so...it is time to vote.
Matt, you're up.
(HAUNTING TRIBAL MUSIC)
Gerry, it's been an absolute joy to have played this game with you,
but I need to send you to the jury so I have a guaranteed vote
to win the title of Sole Survivor
and that's what tonight is about for me.
(SIGHS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'll go count the votes.
OK. I'll read the votes.
First vote - George.
Gerry.
One vote George, one vote Gerry.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
George.
Two votes George, one vote Gerry.
One vote left.
20th person voted out,
final member of our jury, George.
You need to bring me your torch.
LIZ: Georgie! It's been a pleasure, mate.
All good.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Thanks, Gerry. You alright?
Liz.
(WHISPERS)
It's all good. Thanks, guys.
Ohhh! It took you all 94 days to do this.
MATT: Yeah. (LIZ CHUCKLES)
Where do I put it? Right there.
(LAUGHS)
George, the tribe has spoken.
Good luck, guys.
I'll see you all very soon. See ya, mate!
Well done. Thanks, JLP.
'Bye, George.
(EPIC MUSIC)
Congratulations.
Liz, Matt and Gerry, you are the Final Three.
You've gone as far as you can go in this game.
Tomorrow night, now the power shifts to the jury.
So I suggest go back to camp, get some rest
and think about how you're gonna convince them
that you deserve the title of Sole Survivor
and the half-million dollars that goes with it.
Well done. Grab your torches. Head on out.
Thanks, Jonathan. Thanks, Jonathan.
(BUOYANT MUSIC)
GERRY: Last day in paradise.
MATT: Last day
on the beaches of Samoa.
There's three parts on that sign. It says outwit, outplay and outlast.
Did the lot.
What an honour
to be the Final Three.
Ohh, man! Let's have a great day.
Let's have a good day. Let's have a good day.
LIZ: Last night,
I sent King George to the jury bench.
It was difficult for me to write his name down
because we have worked really closely
and I do have a genuine relationship with George.
But...
..this is revenge for Shonee.
I have been waiting for the perfect moment to take George out.
I've had to put my emotions aside.
I'm so proud that I'm the last villain standing.
I'm so proud that I'm the last female standing.
Everyone on that jury is a second-time player.
Oh! We're all newbies.
Yeah, we're all first-timers. Yeah.
I'm really nervous about facing the jury tonight.
The jury bench is majority OG Heroes.
Should we go swimming? Let's go.
Gerry, he has a great story.
Matt, on the other hand, he is a golden boy.
So, tonight,
it's really gonna come down to who can sell their story the best.
Orange juice and milk! There's juice!
Oh, let's have a looksies here, eh?
(READS) "Congratulations!
"You have made it to the Final Three.
"Enjoy your well-earnt day 47 Survivor breakfast!"
Whoo! Whoo!
Congratulations. Oh!
We did it! We did.
Let's feast!
It's a surreal feeling. I never thought I'd make it this far.
(LAUGHS) (CORK POPS)
Yay!
Oh, quick, quick, quick, quick!
It is a privilege to be here with Liz and Gerry.
The Final Three.
And we're fighting it out to become Sole Survivor.
Cheers to being the Final Three.
To the top three!
Congratulations. Thanks, guys.
Beautiful.
(BIRDSONG)
I sacrificed a long being out here, being away from my family.
But I'm here doing it for them.
A one-in-three shot at half a million dollars
is the closest I'm ever gonna get to that amount of money
and I'm not gonna waste this opportunity.
Alright, coffee's brewin'. Thanks for that, Gerry.
Look at that!
Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
Fire!
(GERRY LAUGHS)
Look at that, Gerry.
Oh.
Whoa!
GERRY: Coming into this game, in my wildest dreams,
I never thought that I'd get to the end.
I've done it.
I've done it!
Little brother. Thank you, big brother.
(LAUGHS)
I am the oldest player
in Australian Survivor history.
I've proved old dogs learn new tricks.
Winning half a million dollars
would actually change my entire life.
(TEARFULLY) My whole life has been des...destroyed by COVID.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
(SNIFFLES)
My business...
..destroyed.
This money would give back to my family...
..what I feel that I've lost.
(SNIFFLES)
This would get us back on track.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Tonight, I need to get my pitch right.
I need to get my story across the line,
because these people that are on the jury,
I put them there.
I voted them out.
I've got to turn them around.
There can only be one winner.
Only one.
I want it to be me.
(INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
(FLAMES WHOOSH)
(EXHALES)
We'll now bring in the members of our jury.
Flick.
Sam.
Shaun.
Hayley.
Simon.
Nina.
And George.
Voted out at the last Tribal Council. (LAUGHS)
Look at your face! (LAUGHS)
MATT: That's a moustache!
(TENSE MUSIC)
OK, so...here we are,
day 47, in your final Tribal Council.
Two heroes and one villain,
you've gone as far as you can in this game
and tonight, the power shifts to the jury.
Seven people you've had a hand in voting out,
either directly or indirectly,
will now decide which of you three deserves the title of Sole Survivor
and the half-million dollars that goes with it.
Here's how it's gonna work.
You'll each make an opening statement.
This is your chance to pitch to the jury
why you think you deserve to win this game.
Then the jury will address you.
They'll ask you questions and you'll answer them.
Once everyone's had their say,
the jury will then go up to vote
to decide who wins Australian Survivor Heroes v Villains.
Alright, Liz... would you like to kick us off?
I came into the game of Survivor as a physical threat
being a two-time Olympian.
I won the Reward Challenge for the Villains
when the boys couldn't pull through.
I won the day spa reward and I won three individual immunity necklaces.
Last night's necklace was the most important
because it put me on this bench tonight to pitch to you all.
Even though I came into this game as a clear challenge beast,
I had no experience in my strategic game.
I had to lean on returning players
such as George, Simon, Shonee and Jordie from the Villains
to absorb their information, to absorb their strategy,
and make it my own strategic powerhouse.
I had multiple alliances throughout this game at once.
I had the Shiz alliance, I had the Spice Girls,
I had the Vigilantes
and I had the Jacuzzi alliance.
In order to have all of these alliances,
I had to make genuine connections with all of you.
And that is why even thought I have voted for many of you on that bench,
I never burnt those bridges and I kept you on my side.
My final point for this evening
is the take-down of King George.
Georgie Pie, you have played an incredible game.
But when you crossed me,
I made it my mission to make sure that I came after you.
You took Shonee away from me.
You took Shonee off the jury bench
'cause you knew that if I was sitting here, that was my vote.
And then you took Nina away from me.
And that broke up the Jacuzzi alliance.
I put my emotions to the side and I thought about strategy,
and I thought, "Right, if I'm gonna take George down,
"this has to be the perfect moment,"
and you know when that moment was, George?
That was last night.
Many of you have tried to take George down,
but I did that, that was my move.
I'm so proud of myself and what I have achieved
and the hurdles that I've overcome.
And no matter what happens tonight, I'm a winner
because this whole experience has changed my life.
Alright. Matt, now it's your shot.
Jury.
I came into this game as a lifeguard
with a hope that I could transform my family's life.
So I'm gonna start with my social game.
I took time to get to know each and every person
because social connections is the currency of this game.
Tribe swap.
I had to take my social game to another level to survive.
That night where I sat here and I pitched for my life.
The time I put in with George to make myself more valuable
than one of your own got me through that night.
My social game was then reflected in my strategy.
The moment where I gave my phone call away to Jordie
was the hardest thing by a mile I'd done in this game.
Giving up that opportunity to talk to my wife,
to find out that... that our little baby was OK.
In a selfish game, I had the opportunity to be selfless.
But what it did actually do was amongst everyone of us here
it elevated my game as a nice guy.
No-one suspected me when it came to merge
that I would be the person to flip.
I would take the opportunity to...to move from being probably the bottom
of the OG Heroes
to being an integral part of the new Vigilantes alliance.
And that's what I did.
And in that Vigilantes alliance,
we had a secret three of George, Gerry and myself.
My other attribute that I brought into this game was my physical game.
I won three immunity necklaces and an extra vote.
When you guys are thinking about who do you want to best represent you,
I hope the all-round game of my social strength, my strategy
and my physical game can best represent us as a whole
as the Heroes v Villains.
Thanks, guys.
Alright, Gerry, you want to bring us home?
Jury members, I know I usually have long-winded stories.
Tonight is going to be short and sweet.
I came into this game the oldest person
ever to play Australian Survivor.
We know what happens to the oldest people that come into this game.
They're usually voted out first.
I'm still here.
I succumbed to injury in the first week of this game.
I should have been voted off right there and then.
I'm still here.
And then...I was cast to the other side.
Deemed disposable by my fellow tribe members.
I had work to do!
My game had to change -
change quickly and viciously.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
By sending me over there, you flicked a switch in my head
and I turned on you!
Because I was just a number for you to vote out.
So, the top five in the OG Heroes became my hit list.
George, he is arguably the best strategic game player of Survivor.
I wanted that man on my team and I got him.
We teamed up as partners.
So, we knocked everybody off one by one.
The stats don't lie.
Every time I voted for somebody, hit the mark.
I played this game to the best of my ability,
as hard as I possibly can,
my way.
Alright, jury, you've heard three great pitches.
Now it's your turn to ask questions.
Remember, you're looking for information
to help you make a half-million-dollar decision.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(THUNDER CRACKS)
Alright, jury, you've heard three great pitches.
Now it's your turn to ask questions.
Remember, you're looking for information
to help you make a half-million-dollar decision.
(THUNDER RUMBLES, RAIN PATTERS)
Alright, Sam, do you have questions? Yeah, mate, I do.
Congratulations, my fellow tribemates.
I've got one question for you, Liz. Yeah.
How did you play this game proactively
as opposed to reactively?
Great question. It's a great question.
I played this game proactively
from the moment I landed at the beach.
I had to hit the ground running
because otherwise I would have been left behind
by all you returning players.
And then for the tribe swap,
I was outnumbered by OG Heroes
and it was sink or swim.
And I managed to stay afloat.
I put all the skills that I had learnt into practice.
I formed a new alliance.
I got to mutiny and I made it across
back to my original alliance.
And I'm bloody proud of that.
Thank you. Thank you.
SIMON: Gerry, I have a... a question for you.
I'd like you to explain why
you believe you had control over your game.
I was under the presumption that
you were being controlled and manipulated
by George, in particular.
No! That's not true.
I know to succeed in this game, you cannot do it all yourself.
I wasn't George's pawn.
We were both driving this ship together.
I actually turned George around...
..right here on these seats.
This is George we're talking about.
That's the power of our connection.
Is that not right, George?
It's true.
George, would you like to ask them something?
Thanks, Jonathan.
I just wanna congratulate the three of you
because I know how hard and how nerve-racking it is
to make a pitch here,
and the difficult thing for me tonight is this -
the three of you were my three closest allies in the game.
And all three of you are my friends.
But I've got to set friendship aside
and I've got to vote for one of you.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I do have a question
and it's the same question for both Liz and Matt.
What I want to know from both of you
is what move did you make that wasn't instigated by me?
I know Liz claimed the vote to vote you off, George,
but yesterday, I'd pulled Gerry aside
and I said that I was voting George.
Uh, no.
Matt, you say that you were instrumental in that vote
and I have to disagree.
The idea for me started when George took out Shonee.
Amidst all this heartbreak,
I knew the only way for me to take him out
is to stay socially close to him,
to make him believe that we were together.
And I outwitted and I outplayed
because I kept that information to myself.
I knew George's strength in his strategy
that he was getting to the end.
I waited and I waited,
and when the moment was perfect, at the final hour,
George, I had to send you to that bench.
Can I add something, Jonathan? Absolutely. Go for it.
I actually did have a moment.
I was worried that you had flipped with the girls
and that's when I was actually, honestly, Simon,
really considering working with you after the Hayley vote.
And I went to Gerry and I said,
"Gerry, we have an opportunity right now. We can take out George."
However, moving forward, we still trusted George,
so we stayed with him and didn't act on it.
But that was actually a plan.
So, thank you.
Matt, a move can't be an idea. It had to happen.
There's...there's no ifs here. We want to know your move.
(TENSE MUSIC)
When, um, we sent Nina... or when Nina and Gerry...
I sent Nina...next to me. Yes.
What was your move in this game?
(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
I don't want to hear how you participated in my moves.
I'm happy to vote for you. Just tell me what your move was.
Can I make a comment? (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
JONATHAN: Want to win a top-of-the-range Isuzu D-MAX
or MU-X?
Head to the 10 play Win page now
for all the details.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
I don't want to hear how you participated in my moves.
I'm happy to vote for you. Just tell me what your move was.
Can I make a comment? (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
George, there was many moments
that Shonee and I were behind the scenes working against you
and you didn't know that because we played a witty game.
We played it smart.
We kept our cards close to our chest.
I saved Flick that night when you wanted to put her down
and I said, "George, I'll play my idol for her,"
and you said, "OK, we'll swap the vote."
It's true.
I may be fierce, I may be sassy, I may be blunt, and black and white,
but I don't waver.
George, on multiple occasions, I questioned you, I rebutted you.
And when it was time to strike,
I hit it and I got you on that jury bench.
Alright.
Hayley.
Congratulations to the three of you.
It is no small feat to get to where you are.
You should all be very proud.
Gerry, self-reflection and self-awareness
is really important to me in this game.
Is there anything that you've done, strategically or socially,
that you regret?
Any decisions that I've made in this game, I don't regret any of them.
My social game... I played differently.
We have a huge...age gap.
Over 30 years.
Because of such a huge age gap...
..I couldn't really connect...
..on your level the way I wanted to.
Football was big with you guys.
I know nothing about football.
We are so differently wired.
To bring that together as one...
..is a feat in itself.
Gerry, you mention your social game...
Mmm.
..maybe being at odds to us because there is a 30-year difference.
Yeah.
But I think at the end of the day, it's still human interaction.
And I know from my point of view
that I felt like it was genuinely a one-way street.
It was always about you.
Mate, I'll add to that as well.
I mean, you mentioned football was the talk.
Dave and I both played football professionally.
Yeah. And that something we had in common.
Yeah.
That was something that I rarely talked about unless it was with him
or asked about.
Football was a job. It's not a hobby of mine.
Do you know my hobbies?
No, I don't. Yeah.
I know yours and some of ours matched up.
I love hiking, I love climbing mountains and stuff.
But you made assumptions and you didn't take the time.
I think that's the issue.
Fair enough. OK.
If that's...a mistake I made...
..I can't apologise for that.
I am who I am. (THUNDER RUMBLES)
HAYLEY: Very soon we're gonna walk down that path and write down a name
and it will change your life,
and I know that 'cause I've had great opportunity myself.
Um...and I don't take that lightly.
So I need you to keep fighting
and tell me why I should give you my vote to win tonight.
(GERRY CLEARS THROAT)
I came into this game behind the eight ball.
Here I am, 47 days later.
This game...
..has given me a 64-year new lease of life.
I'm proud of who I am. I'm proud of what I've done.
Nobody can take that away from me.
I'm a winner!
Whether you vote for me or not.
LIZ: I wanted to come into this game and be bold and take risks
and just YOLO it.
And I did that. And look at where I am.
I have played a far more exciting game
than the two finalists sitting next to me.
I didn't have time to build shelters, make fires.
I was at Tribal Council every second night
using that strategy that I had learnt to succeed in this game
and get a day in deeper.
I'm the last-standing Villain.
I'm the last-standing first-time female player.
I took down the game's biggest villain,
And I perfectly balanced being a hero,
wearing a purple, glittery Villains cape
and that is why I am in pole position to be Sole Survivor.
(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)
Alright, jury, you should have all the information you need now
to decide who you think deserves the title of Sole Survivor
and the half-million dollars that goes with it.
Remember, tonight, you are voting for a winner.
For the last time,
it is time to vote.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(TRIBAL SINGING)
JONATHAN: For the last time,
it is...time to vote.
Hayley, you're up.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
George, you're up.
I taught you to be ruthless.
And I taught you how to be a villain.
And I couldn't be more proud to vote for you.
The worthy winner of Heroes v Villains.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I'll go count the votes.
I just wanna say,
this has really been an incredible season.
So much fun.
Everyone, well done.
Seriously.
NINA: Thank you. GEORGE: Thank you!
Thank you.
Alright, the only thing left to do now is read the votes.
But a moment like this really should be shared
with some of the people you love the most.
Oh, my God! So, come on in!
(HEARTWARMING MUSIC)
PAM: Hello!
Hi.
(LIZ SOBS) You're a survivor.
(LIZ GIGGLES)
Alright, let's get to it.
Remember, these votes are for a winner.
I'm gonna read the votes.
(TENSE MUSIC)
First vote.
Liz.
That's two votes Liz.
Liz.
That's three votes Liz.
Winner of Australian Survivor Heroes v Villains...
..Liz!
(ALL CHEER)
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
(ALL CONTINUE CHEERING)
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
DANIEL: Well done.
(CHEERING CONTINUES)
DANIEL: Well done.
GEORGE: Congrats! I'm so proud of you.
(ALL SPEAK EXCITEDLY) Seriously.
Liz, congratulations. Thank you, Jonathan!
You are Australia's Sole Survivor...
(ALL CHEER) ..Heroes v Villains.
Well played.
(ALL CHEER)
(LAUGHTER)
Whoo! (JONATHAN LAUGHS)
(CHEERING CONTINUES)
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
I actually cannot believe it.
I can't believe I'm here.
And I can't believe I won.
Liz, I taught you to be ruthless
and I taught you how to be a villain and look what you did to me.
And you're the only person to ever vote me out.
I couldn't be more proud to vote for you,
the worthy winner of Heroes v Villains.
(KISSES)
My strategy to get to the end was to play hard, to take risks
and to push myself physically, socially and mentally.
Honestly, playing in Survivor
is 10 times harder than going to the Olympics.
You have played a remarkable game.
Not only do you show attributes
of a villain, of a hero and of a vigilante,
but also of a great Survivor player.
You were ruthless when you needed to be.
You absolutely hit this game out of the park.
Well done.
I think I'll be remembered
as someone that played an authentic game,
someone that stayed true to themselves
and someone that was a fierce player.
This moment is gonna change my life forever.
Congratulations.
In a season where new players, villains and women
were endangered species,
maybe the combination of all three
is exactly what we needed to rise to the top.
Well done.
