ChallengesEdit

Reward Challenge: Survivor Pentathlon
The Survivors must race through a multi-stage course comprising several key elements from past challenges, including being blindfolded and shackled, walking on a beam, solving a puzzle, and starting a fire. First to finish the whole course would win the challenge.
Reward: A meal and a car (a Pontiac Aztek) to sleep in overnight.
Winner: Colby

Immunity Challenge: Memory
This challenge requires memory rather than physical strength. 36 covers have been placed over 18 matching pairs of items from the Outback. Each Survivor must uncover two baskets, revealing their hidden items. The object: match the items and win a point. The person who matches the most items wins immunity.
Winner: Colby

StoryEdit

Day 37Edit

On Day 37, Elisabeth is feeling lonely as the last remaining Kucha. She laments the loss of her closest friend, Rodger, whom she calls a "little treasure I happened to find in the Outback." Still, she vows to keep fighting in honor of Rodger and the other Kuchas.

Day 38Edit

The reward challenge is a combination of several previous challenges, and promises a great prize: a new car, a meal, and a shower. Colby, the challenge dominator, actually ends up in a neck-and-neck race with Tina. But he barely holds her off at the end and wins the reward, which he will enjoy the following day.

The castaways find a scale waiting for them in tree mail. The four castaways weigh themselves and find that they've lost 85 pounds between them. Elisabeth comments that they've lost "a third grader." The malnutrition is taking its toll on the castaways, especially Elisabeth, whose hair is starting to fall out in clumps.

Colby leaves on his reward, driving his new car to a camp where he enjoys food with Jeff Probst. Colby also gets a special surprise—his mother has come to visit him. They exchange hugs and greetings, but privately, Colby's mother is shocked by how frail and skinny Colby has become. Colby enjoys a good night's sleep and a hot shower.

Day 39Edit

Colby returns to camp with his mother, and she brings the castaways care packages from their families. She departs, and Colby feels rejuvenated by having seen her.

The immunity challenge is a game of Memory, in which players must try to match items hidden under boxes. Once again, Colby comes out victorious. It's his fourth immunity win, and his seventh challenge win overall. That night, at Tribal Council, the tribe makes it official and eliminates Elisabeth, the last remaining Kucha. Elisabeth explains in her final words that "They didn't want me to get into the final two, because I would have kicked some major butt." Only three castaways remain.

Voting ConfessionalsEdit

“	Well, even though you've calmed down your cockiness a bit because I think we've all felt a bit vulverable lately, you're still my vote. Nothing personal today.	”
–Elisabeth

“	I said it before, I'll say is again. I think you're an absolutely wonderful person and someday, I would love my daughter to spend a day with you because I think she'll learn a great deal from you. Good luck to you Elisabeth.	”
–Keith

Final WordsEdit

“	My part of the game is over. It has been the most trying experience of my life filled with the most highs and lows in a short period of time that I could have ever imagined. I know they just didn't want me to get into the final two because I would have kicked some major butt in that situation.	”
–Elisabeth Filarski
