| ...And Then There Were Four (season finale) (2 hours) | The ultimate survivor in the Amazon is crowned as the reality series wraps up its sixth edition. In the two-hour episode, the four remaining players are whittled down to two and the seven-person jury decides the winner. "I would never have predicted this final two at any point," reports host Jeff Probst, who adds that the answers given by the duo at the last tribal council have a big impact on whether they get a vote. The big change this time, explains Probst, is that the concluding vote takes place immediately following the last immunity challenge. "There's no time to think about it," he says. A reunion of all 16 castaways in New York City, which Probst also hosts, follows the finale.
