We're getting down to to the nitty gritty. Here's everything that happened on Wednesday's episode of "Survivor 50," leading into next week's finale.
Warning, spoilers ahead:
What was the fallout from Tribal Council?
Highs and lows. Jonathan was feeling on top of the world after helping to get Ozzy out of the game, after last week's epic blunder. "Right now I feel like $2 million," he said, referring to the show's juiced-up prize, courtesy of Mr. Beast. Cirie was bummed about Ozzy giving away his game — "I would not have tied my car to an idiot," she said — while Rizo was hoping Ozzy's departure would help bring Cirie closer to him. Aubry, meanwhile, was fired up that Ozzy was gone. "I had one mission: get Ozzy out of this game. And I just drove the nail into his coffin," she said. "I've learned my lesson. This time I'm ruthlessly focused on one thing: get rid of every threat in this game. And that ember of fire inside of me is getting bigger. And now it feels like a flame and it's go-time now. There's no turning back."
What about Devens?

Aw, poor Devens. He knew that he was running out of luck in the game, and he woke up early the morning after Tribal to scour the island for hidden idols. But the milisecond Jonathan got a whiff of his plan, he was on Devens like a cheap suit, shadowing him as he looked high and low for idols. Back at camp, Devens nearly broke down crying. "There's no quit in me, obviously. I just don't want to admit defeat," he told Joe. "My whole thing is positivity. I'm never out." But he admitted his "bag of tricks is running real low," and he decided that heading into the Immunity Challenge, "I gotta psyche myself up and I gotta try to win."
Who won immunity?
Not Devens. During a challenge where the "Survivors" had to spell out the word "immunity" in blocks, one letter at a time, while balancing them in a tower tied to a long rope — a grueling feat of concentration, balance and patience — Joe emerged victorious, sharing his food reward with Cirie and Rizo. For everyone else, it was back to camp.
Who was targeted?
Devens, of course. But not only Devens. Rizo, who was still hanging onto an Idol, was also a target. Are they going to just let him slide with that Idol and guarantee his spot in the finale? Tiffany led the Rizo charge, and Devens, of course, was down for any plan that did not involve himself going home. Jonathan, who has wanted Devens gone since they stepped on the island, said he was fine with putting Devens on the backburner and concentrating on Rizo. But Cirie was not. "I need Devens gone," she said. "I am going to do everything I can do to help Rizo, as long as it does not endanger my game."
Who was voted out?
Devens, sadly. Knowing his number might be up, he played his Shot in the Dark, giving him a 1-in-6 shot at canceling the votes against him, but his luck had finally ran out. But he went out like a champ. "I'm excited to vote for one of y'all to win $2 million," he told the rest of the contestants as Jeff Probst snuffed out his flame.
But wait, was there more?
Absolutely there was! The first Tribal Council was only halfway through the episode, so there was plenty more show to go. The next morning, Tiffany was steamed that Rizo got through another Tribal Council without using his Idol, while the other players were starting to realize how big of a threat Tiffany was. She's played a clean game, she's won challenges, she's gold to a jury. So she's gotta go.

Who won the next immunity challenge?
Like clockwork, Tiffany took it. Sound familiar? It's her third Immunity win of the season. The rest of the contestants were working together trying to make sure anyone but Tiffany won, but Tiffany emerged victorious, not only guaranteeing her safety at Tribal Council, but earning her spot in next week's finale. Did she even realize the others were conspiring against her? If so, she didn't admit to it. "I’ve mastered the art of tunnel vision," she told Probst.
Who was targeted at the next Tribal Council?
Couldn't go after Tiff, Rizo had an Idol, so the heat turned on Cirie. Knowing she was in the hot seat, Cirie tried to turn attentions toward Aubry. Cirie and Aubry, Aubry and Cirie. One had to go.
Who was voted out?
Cirie. The fifth time she played "Survivor" still wasn't the charm, but she still remains one of the most legendary players to ever play the game.
Who's left?
Here are the remaining Survivors:
