\tWARNING:\u00a0This post contains spoilers from \u201cThe Last Stand,\u201d the season 47 finale of \u201cSurvivor,\u201d which aired on Wednesday, December 18, on CBS.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cSurvivor\u201d 47 came to quite an end on Wednesday night \u2014 albeit a bit predictable for anyone who has been watching each week.<\/p>\n
\tFirst came the final immunity challenge for Rachel LaMont, Sam Phalen, Sue Smey and Teeny Chirichillo, the final four. Despite being in an early lead, Sam failed to take home his first immunity win and Rachel, once again, earned the necklace. With that, she became one of now five women total over 46 seasons to have won four individual immunities in one season. While she was honored to join Jenna Morasca, Chrissy Hofbeck, Kim Spradlin-Wolfe and Kelly Wiglesworth, Rachel noted that she\u2019s well aware Kelly and Chrissy made it to the finale and didn\u2019t win. \t<\/p>\n
\tRachel revealed right away that she was bringing Sue to the final three, which meant Sam and Teeny would be forced to make fire. Sam, for some reason, didn\u2019t at all practice making fire throughout the season, while Teeny was OK at it. Plus, Rachel coached Teeny to help build her confidence. <\/p>\n
\t\t\t \t\t\tPopular on Variety\t\t \t \t\t \t \tAhead of the fire-making challenge, Teeny admitted that she had \u201ca bit of a one-sided rivalry\u201d with Sam throughout the season which was due to her struggles with her own identity. She said that, due to Sam\u2019s looks, she assumed he received certain treatment throughout his life and, \u201cbecause of my identity and my gender, just to say it, that\u2019s not always the experience I\u2019ve gotten.\u201d After adding that Teeny is \u201cstill working through things,\u201d she said, \u201cI\u2019ve projected insecurities onto him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tIn the most exciting fire-making challenges in years, Teeny had a very big lead early on, building a giant fire before Sam could even get a spark. However, Sam\u2019s unwillingness to give up combined with the quite literal way the wind blew, Sam\u2019s eventual spark quickly built up and his fire burnt through the string before Teeny\u2019s. Devastated, she was sent to the jury.<\/p>\n
\tDuring the final discussion with the jury, Sue revealed it was 59th birthday \u2014\u00a0no, she\u2019s not in her 40s, which she told the group all along. However, Sam and Rachel (understandably so) dominated the rest of the conversations.<\/p>\n
\tIn the end, just as she did throughout the second half of the season, Rachel dominated and took home the win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
