Finale Re-cap

This Tribe Will Self-Destruct in 5, 4, 3...

No Reward Challenge, there was a long review that included everyone voted off so far.

Immunity Challenge #1
Huge Puzzle, obstacle course to collect 8 bags of puzzle pieces.
Ozzy won Immunity. Adam was a close second.

Scheming Is Free
Ozzy said he sees Yul as his main competition. Adam wants to try and get the Idol out before he goes.

Tribal Council #1
Jeff asks Ozzy if anything has changed to change Adam's fate. Ozzy says 'no' and Adam agrees with him. Adam makes one last attempt to get some votes for Yul by saying Ozzy is strong, Yul is smart - Becky and Sundra, he's not sure what they are; boring he guessed.

Voted Off Adam

Adam's Final Words
. . . you got us good . . . I played fair and square and played my best . . . congratulations and good luck . . .

Jeff's Final Words
The four of you did the impossible but now the game changes, whether you like it or not, you must vote one of yourselves off.

Fallen Friends Remembrance
On top of a mountain on the way to the final Immunity Challenge. The tree mail announcing this is the first idea that they have that maybe more than two will face the Jury. They collected everyone's torch and burnt them in a fire at the top of the mountain.

Immunity Challenge #2
The Final Immunity Challenge. Endurance, stand on top of a perch in the water. It gets smaller as time goes on. Jeff tells them about there being three finalist before challenge starts.
Ozzy won Final Immunity.
Here's the order that they went out in: Becky went out first, Yul was second (but he can still use the Hidden Immunity Idol), Sundra [elapsed time over 2.5 hours].

Scheming Is Free
Ozzy finds it hard to chose between Becky and Sundra so he suggests that they have a tie so those two decide at Tribal Council (however ties are broken). Yul and Becky conspire together for Yul to give Becky the Hidden Immunity Idol.

Tribal Council #2
There is talk about the possibility of Yul giving the Hidden Immunity Idol to Becky to save her but it comes down to a tie between Becky and Sundra, just like Ozzy suggested. The tie breaker once again is fire making. After an hour of trying Jeff allows them to use matches. Sundra runs out of matches and Becky finally makes fire so she survives.

Voted Off Sundra
Well, she lost the tie-breaker.

Sundra's Final Words
. . . I'm proud and surprised that I made it this far . . .

Jeff's Final Words
Now you have gone as far as you can on your own, it will be up to the Jury now.

The 3 Finalists Face the Jury


Poor Becky, she was largely ignored. Jeff said each Juror could question one or all of the finalist and many of them chose to focus on Ozzy and Yul. Parvati even said Becky is sitting between giants.

The opening statements were brief. Yul said he thought of others as he played the game. Becky said she isn't as smart as Yul or as strong as Ozzy but she played the social game well. Ozzy said he was an underdog most of the game.

There wasn't a real "Snakes and Rats" type speech, the questions were generally very civil. Jonathan however said Ozzy was an arrogant brat - I think he used the term Jungle Prince - and asked him why he should award the million dollars to someone like that? Ozzy basically said the he planned to use the money to go to college which will help make society better. Some where in all the questions, Ozzy made a real emotional appeal regarding his father (something about wishing he knew him better).

No closing speeches by the finalists were shown.
