Survivor UK Season 03 Episode 16 Description
The Finals – Part 2
The final 4 woke up and celebrated making it to day 33.
Immunity challenge: Keeping one hand on a Tribal Immunity Idol at all times, contestants would have to keep their balance while standing on a small log. If at any point a contestant took their hand off the Idol, fell off the log, or raised their foot, they would be eliminated from the challenge. The final player left holding onto the Idol won. “Hands on a Hard Idol” (here referred to as “Hand On an Idol”) challenge from Survivor: Borneo.
After 5 hours, Christopher and Leilani both fell off their posts, with Leilani falling mere seconds before Christopher, giving him the win. But instead of returning to camp, the contestants had to go straight to Tribal Council to discuss the vote there. At Tribal Council, Christopher forced Leilani to admit Hannah is the key threat to win as she seems to be well-liked by the jury. This resulted in Hannah being voted out 3–1.
The following day, the final 3 of Christopher, Leilani, and Matthew were awarded a picnic breakfast for reaching the final day.
At the Final Tribal Council, Christopher opened by saying that his frantic gameplay was a result of a risky move and that he had no choice but to play quickly to evade the target, through immunity wins and strong friendships. Matthew was next and explained that it was part of his strategy to play naive and that waiting to make moves helped maintain good relationships. Leilani said that she wanted to be challenged by the game and that she learned more about herself because of it.
Tinuke asked the first question, calling Matthew out for his betrayal and how it didn’t line up with his opening speech. While he tried to explain the move, she shot his reply down. Pegleg was next and he asked Christopher if he felt any remorse for lying in the game. Christopher replied that he had no choice as it was a game. Nathan was next and he asked Leilani why she deserved to win as her game was quieter than Christopher and Matthew’s. Leilani answered that she wasn’t there to be strategic. Laurence accused Leilani of riding coattails, and she used her relationships to cement that she was a strong player. Ashleigh was next, asking Christopher to elaborate on some of his game decisions. During his answer, Lee interrupted Christopher, calling him selfish. Laurence then asked Matthew if he was in charge of the game, with Matthew claiming that he was the puppetmaster, and that was why he stabbed people in the back. It ended with Doug asking Christopher if he got in Matthew’s head, with both men claiming that they both had a hand in the blindsides throughout the merge.
The jury chose to give Matthew the £100,000 grand prize and the title of Sole Survivor in a 6–1–1 vote.
