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

Final Words[]
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. | ” |

Mick |
“ | (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? | ” |
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. | ” |
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[]
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[]
