• Redemption Island duel: "Get A Grip" - Ozzy amazingly outlasts Brandon, doing the exact same challenge in which he outlasted 9 other people in Cook Islands. Who woulda thunk it? Ozzy re-enters the game, and then there were five (again).
• Second Final Five Immunity Challenge: "Teeter Tower" - Unable to get some decent help around here, Sophie fails to outbuild Ozzy.
• Second Final Five Voted out: Rick, 3-2 over Sophie.
• Hidden immunity idols: With Coach, never played. Now obsolete.
• Final Four Immunity Challenge: "Lei of the Land" - Ozzy gets a redux of the Tocantins F4 IC, but chokes on the final puzzle leg, losing to a resurgent Sophie.
• Final Four Voted out: Ozzy, 3-1 over Albert.
• Jury vote: Sophie wins! 6-3-0 over Coach and Albert.
• Reunion show: Ozzy! Coach! Russell! Cochran. Sophie. And the rest. Did we mention Ozzy? Russell? We'd better do it again, just in case. Oh well, on to S24.

All in all, despite obvious structural flaws (Redemption Island, two returning players, unnecessary Hantzes), a pretty good season. Slightly improved challenges over S22, and a vastly superior cast. Even Coach, Ozzy and Brandon. And a self-described strategist won! Season awards below.
