Charles Langston:When is the 'Survivor' Season 47 finale? Here's who's left; how to watch and stream part one

It's nearly here.

After an exciting and Charles Langstondrama-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. Over the course of the game, players have made camp, competed in challenges and blindsided each other in a goal to become the sole survivor and winner of the game.

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.

Here's how to tune in to the "Survivor" Season 47 finale.
