Story

Day 37

Fabio and Dan thought that Holly was the biggest threat, so their goal was to get a 3rd vote against Holly. In the Immunity Challenge, Fabio fell behind, but managed to come back afterwards and win immunity for the second time in a row. Chase, Holly, and Sash all agreed to vote off Dan, but that didn't stop Fabio or Dan from trying to get Chase or Sash to flip. At Tribal Council, Dan made a last ditch effort to get Holly out by saying that her story and personality is enough to sweep the jury. That did not convince either Sash or Chase to vote off Holly, and Dan was voted off 4-1 and became the 8th member of the jury. Fabio likely voted off Dan because he felt like there was no point in voting off anyone else, and turns out that Dan voted against Chase, claiming "he wants nothing to do with him".

Day 38

Fabio, Sash, Holly, and Chase did the fallen comrades tribute per Survivor tradition. Fabio knew that this is the most important challenge and that he really needed to win this. Sash put Chase and Holly's worries about Fabio winning immunity once again at bay, saying that he would not win. Holly was the first to go out in the Immunity Challenge, followed by Chase. It came close, but in the end, Fabio won the Final Immunity Challenge to secure his spot at the Day 39 Final Tribal Council as one of the final 3. Holly tried to get Chase to vote off Sash, feeling that Sash has a lot of friends on the jury (likely referring to Marty, Brenda, NaOnka, and Purple Kelly). Sash, however, felt that Holly needed to go. Chase and Holly came clean to Fabio, saying that if he didn't win the challenge, he would've left. Sash, however, said that Fabio would've been safe either way. At Tribal Council, Fabio revealed what Chase, Holly, and Sash told him, and Fabio, Chase, and Holly were pissed off at Sash for lying, but at the same time it was made clear that Holly would have a good chance at winning if she made it to the end. So in the end, Fabio and Chase sided with Sash and Holly was voted off 3-1, becoming the 9th member of the jury, and the game was rid of the last female, and older player, standing.

Day 39

On Day 39, Fabio, Sash, and Chase enjoyed the traditional Day 39 breakfast. Before heading off to the Final Tribal Council, the trio burned their camp site. At the Final Tribal Council, Chase focused on being open with the jury about how he played the game. Fabio told the jury that he was always open with everybody, had not backstabbed anybody, and had earned his spot in the Final Three. Sash emphasized that he was remorseful about the alliances that he had broken, but that the friendships he made were important to him. Chase was mocked by several members of the jury for his rash decisions. Chase and Sash charged Fabio with never knowing what was going on. Still, the jury chose Fabio as the title of Sole Survivor over Chase and Sash in a 5-4-0 vote. Sash received no votes, Chase gained the votes of Alina, Brenda, Holly, and Jane. Benry, Dan, Marty, NaOnka, and Purple Kelly voted for Fabio to become Sole Survivor.

Challenges

• Immunity (Day 37)
• Immunity (Day 38)

Challenge: Donkey Dig
The Survivors will each race out to a station where they will find a question about Nicaraguan history. They will select their answer from two choices and select the corresponding bag and race back. If they are right, the bag will contain valid puzzle pieces. If they are wrong, the pieces will be black and invalid, and the castaways will have to go back and get the correct bag. Once they have answered all three questions and collected all three bags of puzzle pieces, they will use the pieces to solve a puzzle (the Survivor: Nicaragua logo). First person to solve the puzzle wins immunity.
Winner: Fabio Birza

Challenge: Balancing Point
With one hand they will balance a sword on a shield. With their other hand, they will stack (unevenly sided) coins on the handle of the sword. As the stack of coins gets higher, it will get more difficult to balance. When the stack becomes too high, the coins may fall and they will then be out of the challenge. The last person standing wins final immunity.
Winner: Fabio Birza
