The final episode of Survivor: Blood vs. Water is just a few days away, and there are seven Survivors still in the mix who could win the $1 million prize.

The regular game has whittled down to only four castaways left: Ciera Eastin, Gervase Peterson, Monica Culpepper and Tyson Apostol. Meanwhile, Hayden Moss, Laura Morett and Tina Wesson are on Redemption Island hoping to get back into the game.

With the Final Tribal Council looming, each of the competitors wants to make it just a little bit further in order to compete for a shot at the $1 million prize. It is somewhat unlikely that the jury will reward a castaway who has been voted out of the game, so Hayden, Laura and Tina's chances of winning are not great.

From the current group of players still in the game, Ciera is the odd person out of the Gervase-Monica-Tyson alliance. Unless she pulls off an Immunity win, it is unlikely that she will be able to make it to the Final Tribal Council.

Presuming the Final Three winds up being Gervase, Monica and Tyson, the jury could go either way. Tyson has proven himself to be the player most in control, which many jury members respect, but there may be several jury members who are bitter about being betrayed by Tyson. If this happens, Gervase may be the alternative, as he has not alienated as many people while still acting as Tyson's partner.

If the jury does not respect either Gervase or Tyson's gameplay, Monica could offer a compelling case for herself. Monica has not really betrayed anyone and she has proven herself to be a huge competitor in the challenges, winning three individual Immunity Challenges.


The Survivor: Blood vs. Water finale airs Sunday, Dec. 15 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
