TV picks for Wednesday, Dec. 19

WATCH THIS:

“Survivor” (8 p.m., CBS): The end is here. Only four “Goliaths” and two “Davids” remain to face one of the most competitive 63-piece puzzle challenges in “Survivor” history in an attempt to last another day. Also, a fire-making challenge could change one person’s fate in the game, and, after 39 days, one castaway will take home the $1 million dollar prize on the two-hour season finale. As usual, the one-hour reunion show, hosted by Jeff Probst, will follow.

“Vikings” (9 p.m., History): Festivities for Ivar continue in Kattegat. Floki makes a decision. Harald’s army goes to Wessex.

“Guy’s Grocery Games” (9 p.m., Food Network): Guy Fieri pushes the culinary limits of four Flavortown rookies by challenging them to cook a day’s worth of meals with a budget of just $12 for each round. From brunch to hot lunch to family dinner, one chef’s budgeting skills will outshine the others.
