Four months ago, 24 residents of NC State's Quad started the adventure of a lifetime. Separated into three tribes, their goal was to outwit, outplay, and outlast all of the others to become the remaining sole Survivor. Near the end of their journey, only four players were left: Hannah, AZ, Michelle, and Weston.
At the final four Immunity Challenge, the Survivors were faced with completing tasks from previous challenges, including volleyball, a word scramble, and a number puzzle. Michelle gained a huge lead when she was the first person to complete her word scramble, but lost it when she couldn't think of the names of previously voted out contestants. In a last minute effort, Hannah finished her number puzzle and won Immunity.
Faced with the prospect of voting out one of their own, the Sec Bec alliance seemed to have their minds made up on AZ. However, Michelle still had the power to force a tie and try to break up Hannah and Weston, a known couple. In the end, she stuck with the plan and AZ was voted out 3-1.
At the final Immunity Challenge, the Survivors had to wedge quarters in between their fingers while holding an uncomfortable pose. Weston faced difficulty from the get-go when he couldn't keep his arms up, and eventually he shuffled his feet and was eliminated. Michelle eventually began to feel pain and had trouble keeping her pose and eventually fell over, losing to Hannah, who never once showed signs of faltering.
Faced with a difficult decision, Hannah had to choose to vote out either her boyfriend Weston, or her close friend Michelle. In the end, she decided to vote based on strategy, and got rid of Weston, who she felt would be a bigger threat in the finals.
At the final Tribal Council, the Survivors were able to address the jury and plead their case as to why they should win. Hannah talked to each jury member individually about how the game had impacted their relationship. Michelle kept her speech short and mentioned the drive and determination she had in all of the challenges. It was then time for the jury to speak to the Survivors. Most jury members kept their comments lighthearted, however, when Josh was given the chance to speak, he took the opportunity to bash his fellow jury members, the contestants, and even the host.
The jury then voted for a winner, and in a 6-3 victory, Michelle Phillips become the first ever winner of Survivor: The Quad.
