* Nick trying to gain back Michele's trust by conspiring with her to use the Immunity Challenge Disadvantage, which ended up working in her favor and ultimately saving her. Nick was also the only one to be happy for her win, being the first person to applaud and hugging her at camp. While her being safe unintentionally sent him to Edge instead, it was still pretty thoughtful of him to try and repair their relationship. And even though Michele had been angry with him after voting off Jeremy, she did try to warn him about Tony and voted with him against Denise.

** Parvati's friendship with Danielle as well. Despite her alliance with Russell, she refused to take out Danielle because of her friendship with her and actually went against the vote to try to save her. It didn't work, but given how women who have defied Russell in the past have gotten their torches snuffed, that was as bold as it was touching.

* Ben giving Sarah permission to vote him out. Sarah wanted to make her own move after hearing how the jury praised Tony, despite the fact the two were supposed to be equal partners, and was also worried that if she didn't work with Michele and Natalie and they played the idol correctly, she would be in trouble. Ben, seeing his friend devastated, willingly [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices]] his game for her because he truly loves and respects her and wants her to win. As controversial as Ben is, his move was motivated by genuine friendship and showed that between the happiness of his friend or winning money, [[ThePowerOfFriendship he chose his friend]]. And that alone is admirable.
* Tony crying over having beat Sarah in fire-making, as much like with Ben, he didn't want to evict his friend from the game. The two end up hugging it out, with Tony not wanting to let her go, and Sarah leaves the game proud of herself and advocating for her best friend and partner. Contrasting that with Cagayan, how Tony applauded after blindsiding Sarah, it shows how far their relationship had come.

Chris may be the best bullshitter in Survivor, but he really did seem to view Julie as a little sister and it's nice to see their relationship is mended and still strong.[[/folder]]

Natalie, having won the most tokens, ended up buying three things: an immunity idol for herself, an immunity idol for Tyson, and a jar of peanut butter that she promptly shared with him. Tyson, of all people, even broke down in tears over her selflessness as he had never been given such kindness in the game before.

* The Finale:
** Janet may have gone out at final five, but she didn't leave unrewarded for her good deeds in the game - Sia, having been moved by Janet, rewarded her ''one-hundred thousand'' dollars. And not just Janet, but she also awarded Elaine and Jamal money too.
** Jeff and production realized how badly they messed up the Dan situation, and issued an apology to Kellee before praising her, telling her how her bravery impacted Survivor and CBS by making them reflect on their policies and changing them to better protect contestants from any future situations. She's moved to tears by it.
** Jack and Jamal are now living together, bringing their friendship and insightful discussions full circle with how close they've become.
** And as unpopular as Elizabeth is because of the Dan situation, it is sad that she didn't go to reunion out of fear because of the backlash she received, but it is also wonderful to know that Jack didn't go to the reunion out of support for her - as the two have become a couple after the show.

* In Episode 11 has a feast or fight challenge, where you can eat as long as people are doing the challenge. Having messed up the reward challenge prior and denying her team the PB&J, she tried making up for it by lasting as long as she could so that they would have more time to eat. Jeff shuts her down almost immediately, but that's an A for effort.

* The merged tribe's name is Lumuwaku (love you, miss you, really want to kiss you,) which was something Jack's dead father used to say before deployment. Jack was the last person voted off before the merge, so dedicating the tribe name to him and his family is strikingly poignant.

** And while it has nothing to do with the issues regarding Dan's behavior, there was actually a very nice moment in the merge episode where Jamal fell to the ground after the first immunity challenge, and Karishma of all people runs from the sidelines to check if he's okay. She even uses her body to shield him from the sun. Just a nice moment of compassion.

--> '''Noura''': "Tonight I'm voting for D-A-N. DAN. What really made it simple for me is he's made a lot of people feel uncomfortable, he's kind of pushed the boundaries of snuggling at night, at being flirtatious - this is not okay. We're not gonna wait to get to the end and then have some talk about his behavior. We're gonna do this now!”

* The merge episode is ''dark and ugly''. Missy and Elizabeth decide to use Kellee speaking up about her negative experiences with Dan in order to fuck her over. This echoes the plight that many women face today. However...
** Production pulls Kellee aside and asks her what she wants to do moving forward, because she didn't want her game tanked because of her emotions. The next morning, they have a talk about boundaries.
** It is made known that Dan is a creep. They show flashbacks of him being inappropriately handsy and even break the fourth wall doing so, making us know that what he did can't be misconstrued as something innocent.
** Janet goes all in to protect Kellee, but that becomes something dark because she's actively punished for it.
** Aaron gives a mind-bogglingly misogynistic statement. He basically says that Janet and Kellee are making everything up so that Dan would be targeted. Jamal fires back with the most eloquent explanation of why that mindset is harmful.
--> "This whole idea of 'if this was actually an issue, then I would've hear about it, he would have heard about it' is ''exactly'' what happens in the real world, guys. This is exactly what happens in the real world. When a woman wants to bring up a charge and people want to gate whether or not it's legitimate they say like, "Well, if it was such a big issue, she would have brought it up last year, two years ago, three years ago. We are NOT entitled to know things just because we're men or just because we're in power."
