[Spoiler alert: Survivor Season 43 spoilers ahead regarding who heads into the finale.]
The ‘Survivor’ Season 43 finale date and time
The Survivor Season 43 finale airs Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET.
It’s been a long, winding road for the Survivor Season 43 cast members. A double elimination took place on Nov. 16, and three of the final eight castaways had immunity during the episode that aired on Nov. 30. The episode before the finale that aired on Dec. 7, 2022, featured an incredible blindside that sent Cody Assenmacher to the jury.
Fans couldn’t believe the blindside that Jesse Lopez pulled on Cody right before the finale. Cody and Jesse were each other’s closest allies in the game, and many viewers assumed the two cast members would ride to the end with each other. Unfortunately for Cody, Jesse assumed he wouldn’t be able to beat him if they were side by side in front of the jury. Jesse convinced Cody to give him the idol by lying to Cody and saying that he believed Karla Godoy had a Knowledge Is Power advantage. Jesse then played Cody’s idol during Tribal Council and gathered enough votes to get Cody out of the game.
“And that was probably the maddest I’ve ever been, because when he gave the idol to Jeff, my idol, he came back and he fist-bumps Owen,” Cody told Entertainment Weekly. “And they both smile and laugh, and I’m just like, ‘Dude, that’s dirty, bro. Don’t do that.’ I have never been that mad in my life. I just got betrayed. That was tough.”
