The Fight Is Over is the sixteenth and finale episode of Survivor: Soles Nacientes.

Challenges

Immunity Challenge: The Ruins The goal to move around the grid. Players would start in the top-left, and work their way to the green square in the bottom right. However, there are walls on the field, which are the thick lines colored gray and red. Players could not pass through the red walls, but were able to pass over the gray ones.

There are two things on the board to help - switches and hammers.

The switches are the gray icons that look like little walls. Stepping on a switch will automatically swap the two sets of walls. The red walls will become gray, allowing players to walk through them. The gray walls will become red and cannot be passed until players walked back over a switch.

The hammers will allow players to destroy one red wall, which will also destroy the hammer. You automatically pick up a hammer by walking over it, and will let the hosts know when you wish to use it. You must be on a square touching the wall you wish to destroy.

The player that navigates the board in the least amount of moves will win immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final four!
Winners: Zoey

Challenges

Immunity Challenge: The Soles Trials The challenge had four different trials: 1. Rowing The Boat; 2. Connecting Web; and 3. 10 Bullets; 4. Code Translation. The player in first place in each trial will get 3 points, second place will earn 2, third place will earn 1, and last place earns nothing for that trial. The castaway with the most points total would win Immunity.
Winners: Grady

Story

Day 35

After Bliss was eliminated, Zoey felt like she was on the bottom once again, and that she needed to win the challenge or end up next to Bliss on the jury bench. Amanda celebrated finally getting Bliss out and she made a Final 3 pact with Grady and Jack. All 3 of them felt like they had the best chance to beat each other and felt that none of them would be able to beat Maple & Zoey. As the players were reacting to Tribal, the next challenge - The Ruins was announced! The Ruins is a challenge that focuses on using smart moves to navigate a custom board, utilizing hammers and switches in order to traverse the board. Grady put together a move he thought was the best, then realized there was a more optimal move later on. Jack also improved his move but was behind Grady on the best move. Both Amanda and Maple put together paths that were worse than Grady & Jack. Zoey found one final path that matched the same number of moves that Grady found. Since that was Zoey's first submission, she beat Grady and won her second consecutive individual immunity!

Day 36

Since Zoey was safe again, the Blissfully Unaware alliance became fully aware of the jury threat that Maple posed since some of his closest allies were on the jury, including Arlie. Maple felt that the new players were targeting him based on a meta-alliance against returnees but every new player still in the game simply felt that Maple was going to be a good threat to win and a threat to beat all of them regardless of who was sitting next to him in Final Tribal Council. Right before the votes were read, Maple posted his de facto Final Words, expressing his thanks for being given a chance to return and play again. He felt proud of what he showed as a player and how much he grew. He took his unanimous boot in stride as Zoey joined the new players to eliminate Maple, making him the 6th member of the jury.

Day 37

After Maple was eliminated, the final 4 of Amanda, Grady, Jack, and Zoey were given 24 hours to complete Rites of Passage for the previous 18 eliminated players in Soles Nacientes and to prepare themselves for the Soles Nacientes Trials that would give them 48 hours to complete.

Rites Of Passages

Sam

“	i liked your profile picture i think the lil swirl in ur hair is a LOOK and im sorry i have literally nothing else left to say but lets chat at the end of all of this!!! :)	”
–Amanda

“	I'm sorry Sam, we never got to meet	”
–Grady

“	Sorry I don't really know you. I'm sorry you returned after like 9 years just to get first boot, but hopefully you'll get a redemption arc soon. Your hair is cool	”
–Jack

“	This is what we call Highway robbery. Not only did he not get Panera, he waited nine years to get first boot. To be honest, I am so happy we met. I reread our dms during the merge like right before the jury. You gave me hope to be quite frank. Like you represent things not always working out, yet still trying and giving it your all. You did not leave without try and I truly admire you for that :cutie: Also, I hope things are going fine now. Like hit me up after the season<3	”
–Zoey

Ezekiel

“	ALSO A CUTE PFP but in a different way!! i love it sm its very cute and again chit chat at the end of this would be nice teehee	”
–Amanda

“	Same for you Ezekiel 😦	”
–Grady

“	I still don't know you	”
–Jack

“	As the second boot of the season I remember you being very open whenever we spoke. If I remember correctly you went out for being inactive. Honestly I have nothing bad to say about you. You’re someone who was good in the first challenge and honestly had a crap ton more potential to show. For that I think you deserve a third shot. I remember the Sam vote and you promising you’ll keep him so he wouldn’t freak out. Honestly, I took notes and I have that trick in my pocket for the remainder of the game. I hope there’s no hard feelings between us! :bilovecheer:	”
–Zoey

Jon

“	okay im sorry but the 5 and a half hours 😭 i just didnt want u to like somehow have an idol and put ur vote on me... i did enjoy our lil conversations and wish u all the best in ur other orgs	”
–Amanda

“	Super polarizing, but you came into this game and played how you wanted to play. It sucks that 1 puzzle took you out, I would have loved to see you at Merge.	”
–Grady

“	You love your goth bitches that's for sure. We just never really connected ig during the season, with a total of like.... 50 dms? So you leaving was not a shock to me	”
–Jack

“	I spent a solid 15 minutes on this. I am using it for my goth bestie who I never spoke to, yet changed his pfp to the fan art I made of him. I hope you found your goth bitch<3 :snatchergrin: I wish I could say more. The story on how you got such a bad time was a yikes; however, you’re an icon for this season!	”
–Zoey

Devin

“	we had like 2 conversations and that is completely my bad but hey we both love naps... we love to see it 😁	”
–Amanda

“	Everyone talked about you so fondly, I was hoping we could be swapped together and I could learn more about you - but alas we got put in opposite sides of the country and I never got to see you again.	”
–Grady

“	Uh I kinda just forgot who you are ngl, We had nice small talk but nothing below surface level, also why are your eyes like so coraline	”
–Jack

“	Honestly, Sebastian, Ariana and I got you real good. After finding out you actually wanted to work with me I felt bad. Like you didn’t deserve that tbh. I think you going proved to me that you can never feel too safe. You always have to watch your back and get to the point. I find it odd we’re about to be attending the same university. I hope you enjoy the campus and maybe we’ll run into each other?! 🦋	”
–Zoey

Ariana

“	my bad i did not mean to friend request you i wanted to go back to our messages uh anyway U CANT EVEN SEE THIS YET HOW EMBARRAZZING and if i take my fr back i look like an ass so i cant win here can i anyway uh mint chocolate chip supremacy... that's really all i have 😌	”
–Amanda

“	You didn't do too bad for someone who told me they were going to be first boot 🙂	”
–Grady

“	Unlike the singer I was not that into you. I enjoyed talking to you for sure but maybe it's cause we never went to a tribal together, or needed to have serious talk, but like others I just never had a super special spark with you I'm sorry.	”
–Jack

“	I think I speak for everyone here when I say you owe us a concert JAJAJAJA From what I remember you were very silent. I hope you finished that packet girlie, and aced those exams !! I am sorry we cut you but I didn’t expect to lose so damn fast again. I hope we’re good and yeah please go back on tour!!!!	”
–Zoey

Sebastian

“	well well well when i saw you were playing this i was SO FUCKING SCARED!!!! because you know. destino. and i just know the type of player you are you are FIERCE and ICONIC and THAT BITCH and im permanently scarred from meta and you just terrified me but i am sad that we never got the chance to try to play together again :(	”
–Amanda

“	I also never got to meet you Seb 😦	”
–Grady

“	Idk who you are but I love your manga	”
–Jack

“	Lo siento 😣 ¡Yo tengo mucho respectó para tu y te entrañó muchísimo! Somos buenos amigos y quiero a ganar este juego para tu. Gracias para todo 🥹 Fuiste mi primero amigo en el tribu original. Me vinculé contigo aún más cuando intercambiamos equipos. Hice un buen movimiento al traicionarte en el sentido de que estoy aquí ahora. Te extraño mi amigo.	”
–Zoey

Raven

“	oh my god i wanted to meet you so bad because like i feel like ive seen you in a few of these servers and also your manga looks BADASS and im so sad we never got to meet so plz lets chat at the end of this because you seem awesome from the looks of it ❤️	”
–Amanda

“	You might have leaked things to your original tribe, but it is water under the bridge. I enjoyed the short swap time working with you - you were my #2 pick for that, even if my tribe got annoyed at me for that. It worked, we won all the swap challenges!	”
–Grady

“	Ravennnn I loved playing with you and just talking. Idk if it was just our connection but it didn't feel forced at all. Playing Minecraft together and just talking shit, even game talk. I wish we had thrown a challenge to hopefully change the game a little because you getting voted out was NOT it for me. also grrr for not giving me your SAV / j I hope you come back to the server or we can continue talking once this game is over	”
–Jack

“	My Amant sister !!!!! Honestly you going gave me so much willpower this season to outlast and outwit our original tribe members. You taught me the importance of hiding your competition chops, and not shining too early. You’re the definition of a robbed goddess and I loved playing with you. I pray we keep in contact!!!! 🤟	”
–Zoey

Andrew

“	ANDREW ANDREW ANDREW IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS IT REALLY WAS NOT!!!!!! youre fucking AWESOME but i didnt want to make waves so i just kinda. went with it!!!!! and i regret it. if we hadnt had that stupid twist where we both went to tribal we wouldve BEASTED for you and you wouldve merged and just AGHHHHHHHHH im so sad i love you	”
–Amanda

“	I didn't want you to go here, but I hope you understood. I can't wait to be finished with SRorgs and chat to you about that season, I feel like we have a lot of gossiping to have.	”
–Grady

“	Uh we barely talked and you didn't even bother talking about the vote with me or even respond so uh :peaceout:	”
–Jack

“	I never had the chance to even make a manga make over of you. I got told you were quiet if I am being honest. You seem like the type of mofo I can take tequila shots with if you can really chug milk under 20 seconds. I hope you had an enjoyable stay 🍀	”
–Zoey

Taylor

“	i like your about me because i too am unfortunately part of a certain profession. but capitalism you know you gotta do what you gotta do	”
–Amanda

“	So many players I never got to meet	”
–Grady

“	another person idk	”
–Jack

“	I miss the fuck out of you. I remember going to you and just liking to talk to you because I felt like you had some wisdom. I am sorry I am a petty ass bitch. Raven got avenged and most importantly whoever you end up with do not tell them you’re conflicted. I loved playing with you and I miss the fuck outta you. I cannot blame you for being apart of that Amant 5 and our lil trio :blobheart: Also, I like your hair cut!	”
–Zoey

Dior

“	i have seen you in a LOT of things and i was very excited to play with you and then literally right before merge you got cut jesus like how fucking BRUTAL it is out here jesus. perhaps one day our paths will cross once again and we'll actually get the chance to properly play together	”
–Amanda

“	Another one	”
–Grady

“	BRO this manga looks so fresh idrk you either tho but respect the fit	”
–Jack

“	Oh Jesus this was the most heart breaking elimination in the sense I didn’t really think we liked each other and then at the very end I loved talking to you. I am sorry I flopped that challenge and you got voted out. Like I didn’t want you to go, yet I wanted no one else to go either. 🥺	”
–Zoey

Gameend

“	This one hurt my soul to do truly because you are so so so fun to talk to but i feel like our games just didnt sync up at the end of it :( youre awesome and i love beating you at all the game pigeon games and i hope u me and emma can be the throuple of the CENTURY xoxo	”
–Amanda

“	My Queen. I really wanted you to be standing here by my side as we entered the FIC. I don't have enough nice things to say about you - you know this. Thanks for the coins, they helped out even if it might not look like it from the outside. I'll be seeing you later. - Queen 👑 and Ace ♠️	”
–Grady

“	Oh game....you were one of the people I got closest to during this season, and it sucks that it couldn't exactly translate over to the game aspect. From the start I was told about what you were doing, and you lying to my face the entire time while being close did make me feel estranged. If we had gone to tribal, I probably would have flipped on you. Equally, you were doing A LOT. So when the time came, I easily wrote your name down. Maybe in the future we can be more open with each other and see if we can do this again	”
–Jack

“	I am so so so so so sorry about that parchment I made. It was a stupid joke that was not meant to be disrespectful towards you. I liked speaking to you, yet I felt suspicious because of Raven and Felipe telling me the tea about the rookies. I think you’re very fierce and have a good sense of humor. I hope you’re not mad at me. Thank you for being my new sister after Raven left I am sorry it was short lived💜💜	”
–Zoey

Jayden

“	oh my god. this should not have happened truly it should not have but like i did know you were kinda sus and shady of me and only keeping me around as a number so like it didnt hurt too bad but also damn. it really shouldnt have happened and im sorry your main experience got cut like that but hey at least you can say you were robbed <3 lemme try to win for us phoenix hosts hehe	”
–Amanda

“	You and Pho were running this game for a time, I totally could have seen the crown on your head. If it wasn't for the Arlie Idol, you would have made it super far in this game and I likely wouldn't be where I am right now.	”
–Grady

“	DEF the most robbed prejuror, out of everyone you deserved a jury spot, with game right behind you. You represented an opportunity for me to weasel into the majority alliance yall had, and I took it. While we we never the closest, I certainly saw your connections for what they were, you being idoled out was great. I was already planning on voting you out next, and you getting idoled out was an easy way to paint a target. It was fun	”
–Jack

“	This vote was simply because you had my name in your mouth. I wasn’t even targeting you until Bliss said anything. I don’t hold anything against you and I hope you feel the same for me. I think fondly of you and I hope we play another org together soon! ✌🏼	”
–Zoey

Felipe

“	my offer to teach u italian is still up for grabs!!! you were so funny to talk to the few times we had conversations ajhgddklsjhglsdgbjnsk that is the main reason why i play these things i just love making friends!!! its also just very cool to know someone else who lives in the unfortunate tristate area whos also a swiftie... im very sorry i had to lie out of my ass during this double tribal but things were so fucky	”
–Amanda

“	The old people of the game. I do think we had a special connection based on that, not trying to figure out what acronyms and one word sentences these young guns were firing at us.	”
–Grady

“	Felipe, Felipe, Felipe.......What could have been. Talking to you was nice, nothing ever bad. We were both busy and we knew it. You also knew Raven was a big reason for me flipping, yet when they got voted out you were my lifeline. You asked me to flip, and then lied to my face the next round. All I had asked was for you not to lie again, yet you did. It def felt like you thought I wasn't essential to your game which is sad because I think together we could have done some damage.	”
–Jack

“	This vote was done absolute bullshit. I knew something was sus to the point where I had to vote Amanda. I’m sorry we got played. Like genuinely I was so mad I voted Arlie off. Tbh you were robbed and I loved going crazy with you. Honestly you hosted my first season and this felt like a mentor watching his mentee make it to the end moment. Like you’re super rad and we need to keep in touch 👑❤️	”
–Zoey

Aaron

“	wordle buddy!!! i miss you dearly even though you tried to get me out. btw Wordle 320 3/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟨 ⬛🟨🟨🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 no but youre awesome and funnier than a lot of other sporty guys. this is indeed a compliment 😁❤️ gonna need you to try out the taylor heardle soon and try to beat me 🤭	”
–Amanda

“	My dude. I think we could have been great together, but there was something missing and we never truly made the full connection. My one regret is being at work and not able to design you a better parchment.	”
–Grady

“	AARONNNNNNN bro you were such fun to just talk to. You were def a player in this game, and I felt like if you had gotten farther with a core group, you could've ran it. Sadly, it very much felt like you were constantly asking and digging for info blatantly while just trying to get me to do what you want. I fw you heavy on a personal level but I def feel like you disregarded me in a game sense because you didn't need me	”
–Jack

“	Honestly I have to talk about the funniest person in the world. Drunk Aaron! You made me laugh so much and I miss you a lot. Next, the real Aaron. I really appreciate you having loyalty in me and I am super sad we’re not at the end together. You were someone I got super close to and I appreciate you 🤟	”
–Zoey

Pho

“	jesus fucking christ its so sad to say but i feel like your elimination kinda got me to this point? like i could not have done it without having the looming threat of having 7 coins from f7 to when the idol expired so like. thank you for what you did for me in this game without realizing it 🥺 i really did wanna get that idol for you, i did not wanna do this without you buddy	”
–Amanda

“	My friendly enemy I guess. We wanted each other out, had to work with each other a few times - ultimately as I said in Jayden, I think you could have won this game. You were in charge and that was scary to me.	”
–Grady

“	Pho what a social juggernaut of a player. It was scary about how much you knew and how easily you could get people on your side. Sadly I think that was your downfall as well. You let it slip too easily, and relaxed. You started lying for pointless reasons, telling people different things, and got clocked immediately for it I did enjoy talking to you a lot as a person and you constantly trying to use latin was very funny	”
–Jack

“	Tbh you going was because you peaked so early. I adore you bro! Also, shoutout to us for being the last two POC this season 💜💜💜 I feel like we bonded and thank you for welcoming me into the tribe!	”
–Zoey

Arlie

“	my barista bestie!!! god i wish you were here recently to hear me crying about my manager like i stg theyre gonna catch this 2 weeks /j but no i really do miss having you to bitch about starbies with... idk its just nice to have someone who can relate to you so easily. i wish you werent THE threat to win because you were definitely one of my favorite people to talk to in this game :pleadinghearts:	”
–Amanda

“	You did so many things that no one expected and made the (imo) Play of the Game with the idol play. You will be remembered fondly by me and I'm sure everyone else in this season - expect maybe Jayden XD You were also a strong challenge threat, taking a few close wins off me. I'd love to pick your brain one day, outside of the game.	”
–Grady

“	Arlie...I think you committed the cardinal sin of modern day survivor. You didn't bother trying to work with or talk to the people you thought you didn't need. And granted, you did get to f7, with two immunities and a huge idol play so props. But I wonder what could have been if you simply gave everyone an equal chance. Looking from my pov at the people who wanted to save you, or you flipped for, it really seemed like it was only the returnees and pho, who had a connection with your #1 ally. I am super proud of you for beating 1st boot and having a great redemption arc, and you're a cool person. But game wise, that old school mentality is what killed you imo	”
–Jack

“	One of my favorite fur balls this season! You’re the definition of a success story. You came to this season and conquered a majority of it. You cause major blindsides, you won challenges, you proved your chops! I am proud of you! I remember seeking your approval earlier in the season due to you being the main host of my season. I hope I made you proud. I put in a lot of work this season. I really tried to not leave as the monster I was last time. I just want to made it to the final 3 now to prove it. Like I thank you so much for being so kind to me this go around when I was awful to you on my first. :hearthug~2:	”
–Zoey

Bliss

“	i feel like most of this is for dms so just dm me after the game but i did enjoy properly playing with you and having us gun for each other lowkey throughout the entire merge was very fun. i love having my own little enemy in games without it being toxic its v fun	”
–Amanda

“	My girl...after GameEnd went home, you picked me up off the floor and dusted me off. You are the reason I made it this far in the game, but that was also the exact reason I couldn't have you here with me. No one knows how tight the duo is, I miss out chats, my DMs are way more silent. Tam still wants the call by the way!	”
–Grady

“	Bliss, what an amazing ally and friend. You really shone this season imo, and that is exactly why I had to take you out. You had too much control, too many things were going your way. You helped me so much in this game early on, without you my viewpoint would probably have been entirely different. Despite your age, you just have an ability to see people I think. Definite all star and maybe even POTS in my eyes	”
–Jack

“	OMG MY QUEEN!!!! I literally cannot believe we made it so far together. Like it really took me looking at our mutual friends and servers to realize how much alike we are! I am sorry I played the middle and lied to you about you going. I never eliminated you because I couldn’t. I appreciate you so much. You’re a legend and you’re the moment! :meowhuggies:	”
–Zoey

Maple

“	god this hurt bad. i went into this merge really wanting you and arlie out. and then we all worked together. and then i loved both of you dearly. you blew me away with your kindness and all your tea and your fun chats and your amazing self and ugh im just sorry and ilysm and thank u for not hating me <3	”
–Amanda

“	I echo what you wrote in your final words. We didn't talk a lot, we did when it mattered, but hopefully we can get to actually know each other at some point 🙂	”
–Grady

“	Maple it was so fun getting to know you and despite you thinking that you got voted out simply for being a returnee, I think you're dead wrong. Maybe that's part of it, and I certainly used it to my advantage, but at the end of the day, you started this merge seemingly at a 7-3 disadvantage. You won immunity locking yourself into f8, and flipped on two people who had your back, and then another one at f8 with arlie set up as a shield. Then he went and you flipped on Bliss. If Zoey hadn't won, I could easily have seen you in f4 or even ftc cuz I think you could win FIC.	”
–Jack

“	Honestly, I was not the best ally to you, but I miss the fuck outta you. You have been such a treat to get to know and I won’t forget our VC calls together. I loved getting to know you! You taught me something this season. It was to not give up. You watched your friend go and you still found a way to stay an extra round. I am so proud of you. You ate this season up and left no crumbs my friend! :zrmmhug2:	”
–Zoey

Day 37

After Rites of Passage, the Soles Nacientes Trials were announced. The Trials consisted of 4 challenges, Rowing the Boat, a pure typing challenge that was a challenge based on pure effort, Connecting Web which was a puzzle with information about the previous eliminated 18 players, 10 Bullets, an app game that relied a little bit on luck to get the highest score, and Code Translation, a custom challenge with a secret code using shapes to determine a number & letter combination. Multiple players like Amanda & Zoey found the challenge difficult and tried their hardest. It was all for naught though, as Grady, who was considered the biggest challenge beast of the season, took 1st place in each challenge of the Trials giving him the win for the Final Immunity Challenge, guaranteeing his spot in the Final 3.

Day 38

Zoey was vulnerable for the first time in three tribal councils and she correctly felt that she was the Blissfully Unaware trio's target this final tribal. She went to Jack, trying to get him to flip on Amanda. Amanda was immediately told about this by Jack and both felt like Zoey could beat anyone at Final Tribal Council, especially since the majority of the jury were returnees, and because Zoey had attended 18 tribals without a single vote cast against her. As the votes were read, Zoey was eliminated unanimously 3-1 to become the final member of the jury.

Day 39

After 39 days, our final 3 of Amanda, Grady, and Jack were official. Throughout Final Tribal Council, the jury felt that Jack had played an overall better game than both Grady and Amanda, but felt like Grady was connecting with some members of the jury better personally, including creating custom parchments for Aaron, Felipe, and Zoey. This earned him Zoey & Felipe's votes. However, Grady's lack of awareness regarding his relationship building and his hiding of challenge strength lost his chance at Arlie, Maple, and Pho's votes. Bliss had a strong connection to Grady so she voted for him. The other 4 jurors: Aaron, Arlie, Maple, and Pho all voted for Jack for having played the best UTR game overall. However, in the last hour before votes were read, Arlie changed their vote from Jack to Amanda because he wanted to vote for them. This caused a 3-3-1 tie, giving Amanda the sole vote for the winner of Survivor: Soles Nacientes. After some questions, Amanda made the decision to award Jack, a player they made a F2 deal with to win the 71st season of Main ORG Wiki.
