@BearGrylls has a really tough choice tonight! These three teams are incredibly strong and positive. #BearMore @NBCGetOutAlive

The three remaining teams (Lucky and Louie, Chris and Jeff, Austin and Jim) had to jump out of a helicopter, make their way to a campsite, start a fire with faulty fire steels, and build a shelter.Would you have had the courage to follow Bear's lead?
If that wasn't scary enough, the teams then had to float down a raging, rain-swollen river. They had nothing but their packs to help them stay afloat!
As their "reward" for making it to overnight camp, Bear presented the teams with a special dinner item: a deer heart! Yum?
The teams then had to build a raft. While the other two teams did fairly well, Jim and Austin struggled when their raft got caught in some driftwood. Chris and Jeff's raft worked, but it sat very low in the water.
Famous last words: "I think... it will float." #GetOutAlive

We figured a smaller and lighter raft would be easier to navigate and less likely to break apart under the weight. #Wrong #GetOutAlive

After a visit to the feast pit for all the teams, it was time for Bear to decide who would take home the $500,000 prize. After much deliberation, Bear threw the bag of money to Lucky and Louie. (Good thing it didn't fall in the fire.)
But the decision wasn't without its detractors. Some fans thought Chris and Jeff deserved to win.
I definitely do not think that lucky and Louie should have won... Don't deserve it more than anyone else. @NBCGetOutAlive

The team that would #GetOutAlive is @loulou_bell23 and @lucky_larson13. Congrats I knew you two would do great.
