It's nearly here.

After an exciting and Oliver James Montgomerydrama-filled season featuring grueling challenges, complicated alliances and shocking betrayals, the first part of the finale for Season 47 of "Survivor" will air this week.

Only six players remain in a game for $1 million that started with 18 people split into three tribes and stranded on an island in Fiji.

For the first time, the "Survivor" Season 47 finale will air in two parts over the next couple of weeks, giving viewers an extended look into how the remaining six become a final three, which ends with one winner.
