This Game Ain't Over is the season finale of Survivor: Samoa.

Story[]

Day 37[]

Day 38[]

Day 39[]

Challenges[]

Challenge: Tentacle
The final five would start by racing over a cargo net and over the top of a balance beam to a bag of puzzle pieces. They would  untie the pieces and race back to the start. Then they would take the bag of pieces up a steep wall to the top, where they would solve a puzzle (the Survivor: Samoa logo). The first person to solve their puzzle wins.
Winner: Brett Clouser

Challenge: Over Extended
At the start, the final four would place a small wooden statue on top of a pole. At regular intervals they would add another piece of pole to make the pole longer, making it harder to keep the statue on the pole. When their statue fell off, that person would be eliminated. The last person standing wins.
Winner: Russell Hantz

S19 mick t
Mick
(voting against Jaison) Sorry, man. This sucks. I hate doing this, but I kinda feel like you know, in terms of our agreement, you sort of checked out at least ten days ago. But we've hardly spoken a word to each other every time I tried to beaten up every strategy kind of blown me off and, uh, didn't want anything to do with it. So, you know in terms of any, uh, pact that we made, it seems like you check out of that a long time ago, so.
S19 natalie t
Natalie
(voting against Jaison) Jaison, this is by far been the hardest vote, uh, to date. Uh, sorry but I'm voting for you because it's just last minute, um, scrambling and we just felt that Mick would have a better shot at, um, beating Brett at the next immunity. Good game.
S19 jaison t
Jaison
(voting against Mick) Sorry, buddy. This was a tough one.
S19 russellh t
Russell H.
(voting against Jaison) Hate to have to do this, but man, I gotta keep to my strategic play and I think this is the best move for me to win the game. So I had to do it. Bye.
S19 brett t
Brett
(voting against Jaison) Jaison, you're probably my biggest threat going into tomorrow's challenge. I- for that, I gotta let you go, buddy. Got to take this one all the way.

Final Words[]

S19 jaison bw
Jaison
I'm-I'm kinda pissed off at Russell for, uh, for blindsiding me this way. For the relationships you had since day two, you at least let the guy know "you're going home." So I-I don't think I'll be cheering for Russell on this one. I would root for Brett. Brett's the underdog. He is who we were. We came from nothing to be something, and he did pretty much the same thing on his own to win three straight, maybe four straight.

(voting against Brett) Hell of a competitor, man. You made it to the last few days pretty, uh, exciting for all of us. So, uh, props to you. I've got nothing but love for you and, uh, see you on the flip side man. You good?
S19 russellh t
Russell H.
(voting against Brett) Hey, man. You played a great game. If I wasn't here, you probably would've won it all. But I had to stop you. You know, I'm looking forward to getting together with you and doing some great things outside of this game. Good luck, man.
S19 natalie t
Natalie
(voting against Brett) Brett, I'm voting for you, uh, because, uh, Foa Foa to the end and we have no shot at beating you, uh, at the final. So, good luck.

Final Words[]

S19 brett bw
Brett
I knew, you know, a couple of Tribals ago that it was my time to go and you know I'm the last Galu member in which I'm so proud of that. You know, to get to where I've got, 38 days, one of the final four, was definitely a testament to my will and hard work and it kinda felt like I went out on my own accord to some degree.

Trivia[]

Behind the Scenes[]

  • According to Russell, the end of the Final Immunity Challenge was run twice since the first time Brett's statue fell, Russell threw his to the side believing that he had won immunity, only for Jeff Probst to claim that he never officially said the challenge was over, and after Russell protested this ruling and Probst discussed with producers, led to the end of the challenge between Russell and Brett being run a second time.[2][3]

Life at Ponderosa[]

Other[]

  • Jaison was the first and only Foa Foa member to be voted out after the merge.
  • During the Day 38 Tribal Council, the references to Brett Clouser's company TMOOH on Mick and Natalie's parchments were censored in the episode, but not in the full confessionals video.
  • At both Tribal Councils, the eliminated person voted for Mick Trimming.
  • This is the first time that a Final Three produced a female Sole Survivor.
