Cheers to everyone who played who made it an exciting competition, especially my Toucan team-mates who were excellent and a great laugh. I partially deserve to go out because of what happened with Mike (sorry again), but it would be a bit arrogant to suggest that was the only reason. I haven't been great throughout the competition, and I was certainly a lot worse than in the GSM. All of the 3 remaining would be worthy winners, and deserve to be ahead of me, with the way the competition went this is where I should be eliminated really. Huge thanks to last request , the whole thing has been extremely professional and entertaining, and the ingenuity in tasks like the one yesterday and the sporting eyes makes Survivor what it is. Your effort is always appreciated mate.
LR welcomes the final three contestants to a clearing where there is an ornate traditional Chinese temple made of wood.
LR: Before your final immunity challenge it is time to pay tribute to the 15 contestants who have been eliminated from the game. Over there is a wooden model Chinese temple, and here we have the torches that belong to the previously eliminated contestants.
LR gestures to torches which have name tags on them.
What I’d like you guys to do is place this torches on the model temple one by one and say a few words about these contestants, who have all been a part of your journey in this game, one way or the other! Once you have done that, head back here and as you can see I have laid out 3 bows and arrows for you. Light up the arrows from that fire there and shoot them at the temple. It will set alight as a tribute to the 15 previously eliminated contestants.
SUTSS, Bottega Don & Magic carry three torches at a time over to the wooden temple. They talk about their fondest memories of the eliminated contestants which is interspersed with slow motion "montage" footage of the contestants they are referring to's highlights in TFF Survivor: China. We also get interview clips with these contestants which have been filmed since their departures. They talk about what they have learned and how Survivor has changed their lives for the better!

Was a big part of me getting here in the first place, been a very good teammate.
A fine player who would have been a worthy winner
Good performer throughout and always a threat on fastest finger first. Just a shame his one error perhaps cost him his place in the final.
This Charming Mike
No Toucan would have got as far as we have without Mike
A real warrior and one that looked destined to go all the way. Will be back I'm sure with his excellent all-round strengths and unfortunate the way he left.
Another very good teammate who did amazing in pretty much every challenge and help me get to where I am now.
Blade1889
A shame he had to go so early, he did his best to help out and he did that very well.
An unfortunate early fatality but a big part of the team.
One of the lesser-known Toucans but definitely a justified one. Wasn't with us at the end but was well worth his place and despite his early exit can be proud of the platform he helped to build.
He seemed to do alright, shame he had to focus on his young family.
Did his family proud.
There were so many Dave stickers.
Stagat
A real threat from the very start and arguably the strongest player outside of the Toucan tribe. Had to go in a dog eat dog game but now he's gone he can definitely be regarded as one of the highlights of this year's Survivor.
The top non-Toucan player
One of the best competitors in the competition, deserved to make it further.
Steady
His voting record was his biggest contribution to the cause.
Along with Stagat, he was the best competitor that didn't make it to the final. ily xxxxxx
If his punctuality could match his charisma then he'd be a top survivor. Good company keeping the mood light when in the game.
Leewilson
Was good when he showed up.
A very strong player who could have gone further with a bit more luck
A true warrior - battling on throughout despite being under the weather. Fair play to you Sir.
Oaf
Came into this as a possible favourite given his background and although we didn't see as much of him, I think this was unfortunate and only the high expectations meant he doesn't get the credit for being a top contestant.
Cracking meltdown from the lad.
I have nothing good to say about the sticker thief.
HarvSFC
A couple of decent rounds but went out at the right time.
Looked good when he showed up.
A bit of an unsung hero. Not one of the loudest or wildest but performed steadily throughout and was unfortunate to be on the end of tribal voting.
A red-blooded gent all the way through and should not have been blamed for the complete failure of the dual-tribe attempt to challenge the Toucans early on. A scapegoat and one who again, will be remembered for one real moment only - which is a shame.
Treated unfairly by his teammates, played a good part in the competition.
SALTIRE
Did the ghost of Alex Salmond proud.
Went pretty early which was unfortunate.
Another strong player, and a team player at that. Put in a real shift trying to get up the hill with StagsForLife but ultimately failed. That summed him up, though.
Rammy
Did well in a poor tribe
Another one with a big reputation but didn't make it all the way to the end. Apparently he moved to another part of the island and that cost him, having to move all of his stuff into his new hut.
The 2nd star of the green team, could have gone further like Joe.
StagsForLife
Went pretty early which was unfortunate.
Don't remember him playing
An early departure, perhaps caused by his need for help in the mountain challenge but a worthy contestant.
The Hand of Dom
Looked good when he showed up.
Helped the Toucan cause.
Again probably an unsung hero. Usually there or thereabouts in the challenges but didn't have the highest profile. Performed well climbing up the mountain.
JoeJoeJoeJoe
Obviously a good player, as shown when he made it to the last couple in his tribe. It was harsh to have to vote him off straight away after joining the Toucans but hopefully he understands after his tactics to try and undermine us. Sorry Joe.
Unlucky to not be toucan enough but was the best of his tribe.
Was the star of the green team, could've gone further.
Magic, Bottega Don & SUTSS head back to the bows and arrows and fire flame arrows at the wooden temple model, which now has the 15 torches on it. The temple catches fire and the fire gradually grows until there is a spectacular scene unfolding in front of the final three contestants which is a fitting tribute to those who have been eliminated at this point.
Congratulations to all three of you for making it this far! For your final immunity challenge, six audio clips of songs will be posted. They are worth 1 point each, and you need to name the song and artist to score the point. The contestant that scores the most points wins immunity, which of course means they will get to cast the deciding vote at the upcoming Tribal Council. Normal buzzing in rules apply.
I will post the first clip in 5 minutes, good luck!
