The show began at day 37 - Elisabeth missed Rodger and said it was lonely there without him. She seemed to get closer to Tina talking about their families.
Tree mail told them about their next reward challenge. The four remaining survivors met Jeff for instructions. He told them that this challenge will be a part of all the past challenges, in order for them to correct their past wrongs. They were each blindfolded, and then attached to ropes. They had to make their way to the end of the rope maze, until the bell rang. They then removed their blindfolds to find a puzzle for each of them. They had to spell a word, (outplay, outlast) etc. They then had to walk a plank with water and fill up a bucket, which would eventually tip the contraption. They then had to light a fire and make an explosion. The winner would receive a tent, mattress, four wheels and keys... Actually a Pontiac Aztec. They will also get a hot shower, soap, shampoo and a hot meal. Colby won AGAIN!!!

Day 38 - Elisabeth's hair began to fall out due to malnutrition. Tree mail arrived with scales and a mirror. They took the items back for each to weigh themselves. Tina was 99 1bs, and had lost 15. Elisabeth weighed 101, lost 14. Keith lost 27 1bs and Colby lost 25 1bs. A total of 85 1bs between the four of them. Colby spoke about Keith and the upcoming immunity challenge. Keith went for a long walk to the top of a hill to see the view. Tina and Elisabeth gave Colby a car-warming gift, a bouquet of flowers before he headed off to see his new car. Keith spent a long time alone reflecting on the past 38 days, his family and his future.

The Aztec was yellow and all set up with a mattress/tent contraption. Colby was very excited. Jeff & Colby then got ready to eat, when suddenly Colby's mom came out to serve them. Colby lost it totally. She looked very concerned when he told her how little he had eaten while there and how much weight he had lost. He said he had only gone to the washroom 3 times in 38 days. The 2 lay down in the back of the Aztec and chatted quietly together.

Day 39 - Colby enjoyed his warm shower while his mom took photos. Back at camp, the three prepared a fire. Keith accidentally knocked the tap off the water, and it leaked out unnoticed while the three ate breakfast. Colby returned to camp with his mom, which explained last week's hint at the guest to visit the outback. Elisabeth started crying saying that Colby's mom was like the token loved one. Colby's mom then told the four what was going on in the U.S. the past 5 weeks. She then dumped a bag of goodies for them consisting of care packages from their families. Photos, food and letters were included, making Keith break down and leave the group. A helicopter arrived to take her back, while Colby cried.

The group got ready for the immunity challenge. Colby said his only loyalty was with Tina. Jeff explained this challenge would be a mind game. Memory was the key. There were 36 covers with an item under each one. Each item was duplicated equaling 18 pairs. One at a time they lifted 2 covers to unveil the items. Colby got the first pair and ended up winning immunity with 7 pairs. The four did not want to go to tribal council. Tina said everyone was paranoid because of having so few left. A lot of whispering was going on. At tribal council, the jury was brought in. They discussed the toll Colby winning all the challenges was taking on them. Keith said he was finding it difficult to stay strong with the weight loss and lack of food. The votes were tallied and Elisabeth was the chosen one. She said her goodbyes and left cheerfully.

With only 3 left, Survivor continues on Thursday. A two hour finale, plus a one hour reunion with Bryant Gumbant is scheduled.
