On the final competition night, Karthigesu emerged victorious during the initial immunity test. At the tribal council meeting, Guerra was sent home. Erickson possessed an immunity idol, ensuring his safety from votes. Later, Fraser triumphed in the last immunity challenge, advancing to the final three. He selected Hunter to accompany him, forcing Karthigesu and Erickson into a fire-making duel. In this contest, Erickson prevailed, ultimately eliminating Karthigesu from the competition.
