2016 Taranaki Survivor: Grand Final Vote

And so it ends... the final installment of Taranaki Survivor.  In the previous episode Bethany won final immunity and choose to eliminate Jamesen, however there was the issue of the super-immunity idol - if it had been found, and if Jamesen had located it first then not only would he revive himself it would be Jamesen who would determine who would make the final...

Jamesen had found the super immunity idol - just before Joe did and after Bethany double crossed him he choose in a difficult decision to take Bethany to the final two with him.

All that remained was the jury vote - this year it was a seven member jury who voted one after another.  Four votes would secure the 2016 Taranaki Survivor Title and the Grand Prize!

Who would win? Bethany was unfortunate to exit the 2015 competition after a immunity idol vote - was this her chance to claim a overdue victory? She'd been involved in some key blindsides and double crosses to make her way to the final, and was the final female competitor surviving in competition since way back in episode ten!, She had friends on the jury, would those that she targeted forgive her? Would she be able to continue the momentum and had Jamesen made a huge mistake in choosing her for the final?

What of Jamesen - the MVP of this years competition, no-one was actively working behind the scenes to locate immunity idols and protection, including one stage where Jamesen had located the Super Immunity idol and had two other idols in his possession! Jamesen had a hand in the destruction of the Room One alliance but also claimed ownership of immunity and other power ups and advantages, some of which were based on fact and some of which were brilliant acting.  Would the jury recognise his unorthodox and strategic play?

There's only one winner in the greatest internet student blogging competition of all time and the only way you can find out this years result is by watching the video!

Taranaki Survivor: 2016 Grand Final!

It all comes down to this - after a year of competition, twenty students competing against each other first in two rival teams and then as one group.   Eliminating each other one by one, with twists and turns aplenty.   Today - the Grand Final with the last three competitors, Beth and Joe from the original Kikorangi tribe and the wildcard - Jamesen... one competitor was about to triumph and advance to the finals, then they would have a crucial decision to make, who would they take with them?

Whose game would continue and who would suffer the agony of coming as close as possible without having a chance of winning...

Due to weather conditions this challenge was an ultimate block stacking challenge - Joe has never been defeated and was going against two competitors who had never won challenges with blocks - surely a great advantage? While there were not any more immunity idols around there was one last piece of the puzzle lurking around - the Super Immunity Idol could come into play following the final vote.  Had it been located? Did someone hold ultimate power going into the final challenge... all sorts of claims and rumours had been made - now was the last chance to put up or exit the game...

This is the final challenge ever for Taranaki Survivor and someone was about to go out with a bang.  In two years of competition there have been some unbelievable finishes, and its not an exaggeration to say that this was the most amazing of all - with a huge final twist that would have a massive bearing on the 2016 competition!  All will be revealed before the huge Friday Grand Final Vote!

Whose made it through to the final? Who will the jury have a choice between? Whose sought redemption and whose come up short, the answers to these pressing questions lie in the video below the 2016 Grand Final for Taranaki Surivivor!

Taranaki Survivor: Grand Final Jury Vote

And the winner is... well you'll find out if you watch this post after 9am this morning.

After twenty weeks of competitions, after two terms of action it all comes down to this.  Two players survived an incredible twenty episodes to make it through to the grand final against one another.  One player each from the original Whero and Kikorangi tribes... each of the eliminated players, seventeen in all cast one final vote - not for the person to be eliminated but for the competition winner.

Caro has had more votes against her than any other player in the game and three times came within a single vote of leaving.  She's also won more immunity challenges than any other player and located more immunity idols.  Caro's been involved in some of the biggest blind sides in the game - will that count against her? Will she be able to pull off the ultimate victory?

Harry on the other hand has had only two votes the entire competition, both from the same player.  He's won the second highest amount of challenges, behind only Caro.   He's tried to eliminate Caro on three occasions and each time she's escaped by a combination of good fortune and skill.  Is this the moment when he finally defeats her? Being the only boy left from episode sixteen onwards seemed to seal his fate - is Harry about to pull off the ultimate victory?

Taranaki Survivor: 2015 Grand Final Caro Vs. Harry


Its all come down to this - two remaining contestants who have made it through to the 2015 Taranaki Survivor Grand Final can now be revealed.  
All season all the online polls and information said it would be Harry against Caro - and its come true.  Both are the only original players left, one each from the original Whero and Kikorangi tribe. 

Caro has won the most individual challenges out of any competitor - but also has the single most votes of any competitor.  Harry has had the least amount of votes, with only Abby voting against him twice - but he didn't win as many challenges as Caro.  No-one found as many Immunity Idols as Caro - but will the fact she's had a hand in some of the biggest blind sides of the competition count against her? Online polls have both predicted wins? How close will the vote be?

The vote will be revealed Thursday morning... who has triumphed? Who has managed to outwit, outlast and outplay every other competitor to take the grand prize?  All these pressing questions will be revealed in the vote tomorrow morning as we wrap the 2015 season! In the end out of these two incredible competitors only one can claim the title and the other will have to reflect on coming so close to victory.   It all ends tomorrow with the final episode ever of Survivor: Taranaki!

Taranaki Survivor: Grand Final Part 3

All season every online poll for this competition has featured two names at first and second - Caro and Harry, and as it turned out heading into the final part of the final immunity challenge for 2015 these were the two competitors who would decide who would win final immunity.

One of these players would win immunity for the final time and guarantee themselves a spot in the final two.  The other would be at the mercy of the last two votes - the first to eliminate the players to three and the second a single vote to decide who contests the 2015 Grand Final.  No-one had found more hidden immunity idols or won more challenges that Caro, but no-one had more votes against her in the entire game.  Harry had only ever received two votes in an incredible run last nineteen episodes: was this about to come to an end? Would he fall at the final hurdle? One thing was for sure when they went head to head there could only be one winner.

It couldn't be more dramatic than what happened in the twentieth and final episode of Taranaki: Survivor! Who will make it through? Who gets to cast the deciding votes who makes it as far as possible without going all the way? This is the second to last episode of Taranaki: Survivor ever... the end is nigh!

Taranaki Survivor: Grand Final P2

Who would qualify for the very last challenge? Caro had already made it through to the final part of the Grand Final with a win against Mackenna by mere seconds.  In the second round the three remaining contestants Zariah, Mackenna and Harry were looking to advance to the finals.  This would be crucial as the two votes coming up would decide the final two - whoever had immunity would guarantee getting into the jury vote final, and for two contestants it would be the end of the road who would get so close and just miss out.  Who would advance to the finals?

The greatest internet blog competition of all time is about to end - with only Part Three of the Grand Final to come - one player has to make it through and for two the journey is about to end - this couldn't be a more crucial episode of Taranaki:Survivor!
