Big Earl Wins!

Survivor Fiji Finale

You've Got a Puzzled Look

Immunity Challenge
Massive 5 Section Maze Blindfolded
Yau-Man won Immunity! Earl and Cassandra were never really in it.

Scheming Is Free
Cassandra said before Immunity that Yau-Man was the target, now it looks like Boo or Dreamz. Boo works Yau-Man to save himself.

Tribal Council
Talk was of trust and keeping your word.

Voted Off: Boo
Final Words: Night 37 and I'm voted out . . . Yau-Man is strong competitor

Remembrance of Past Survivors
Those voted off were remembered as boats were set aflame.

Final Immunity
Indurance, hang on a plank (with hands). Elevation increased over time.
Order they went out in: Cassandra, Earl, Yau-Man.
Dreamz won last Immunity! Will he give it to Yau-Man?

Scheming Is Free
If Dreamz gives Yau-Man Immunity then the others will vote Dreamz off (and he knows this).

Final Tribal Council
Three will face the Jury.
Talk was about the Yau-Man Dreamz agreement. Dreamz decides to keep Immunity.

Voted Off: Yau-Man
'sorry Dreamz you did not live up to your word . . . enjoy the truck . . .

The Jury
Dreamz and Cassandra had a hard time as Edgardo and Alex grilled them about lying and breaking alliances. Lisi accussed Cassandra of being greedy, she asked Dreamz 'how many zeros in a million' (?). She acccused Earl of putting on a show at the last Tribal Council. Boo goes all Christian on Dreamz. Yau-Man admits his mistake of making the deal with Dreamz.

Big Earl is the big winner of Survivor Fiji.

Finale Preview

Survivor Fiji, finale preview

You've Got a Puzzled Look

Survivor final tonight! Sunday May 13, 2007 8pm ET.

The five remaining castaways are reduced to three before the jury votes for the $1 million winner.

A pending deal between tribemates could determine the fate of the final four.

One Survivor gets clever and presents a new strategy to several other tribemates. Will they take the bait? Will the new plan affect the outcome of the game?

The final Immunity Challenge has the Survivors hanging on for their lives. Who will outlast the others in this final all-important battle for Immunity?

One person claims the title of Sole Survivor. Who will it be?

Rumors
First Immunity: Yau-Man.
First Voted Off: Boo.
Final Four Immunity: Dreamz, he doesn't live up to his word and he does not give Immunity to Yau-Man.
Final Four Voted Off: Yau-Man.

That leaves Big Earl, Dreamz and Cassandra in the final three. I think Earl wins the million dollars though I'm not sure who else is in he final two. Maybe there will be a final three again?

Say Good-bye Stacy

Earl says the next one they want to go is Boo.

Reward Challenge
Reward: a new pick-up truck!
Challenge: 2 teams of 3 tied together go through obstacle course.
Green Team: Dreamz, Cassandra, and Earl.
Orange Team: Yau-Man, Stacy, and Boo. They won the first round. Compete individually in an ax throwing competition.
Yau-Man won Reward and chose himself to go to Exile Island! Also he traded the truck to Dreamz for the promise that if Dreamz wins Immunity when just four are left that he will give it to him.

Exile Island: Yau-Man

Immunity Challenge
Challenge: series of hoop-balance beams.
First cut: Dreamz, Boo, Earl, and Yau-Man move to next round.
Final Round: Yau-Man, Boo in Final.
Boo won Immunity.

Schemimg Is Free
Boo said he heard others talking about a Plan B, so he assumes he was Plan A and real glad he won Immunity. Meanwhile Yau-Man told Earl the latest clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol and with he he found the Idol. Now both Yau-Man and Earl have an Idol. Dreamz schemes with Stacy (who fears she's next) and Cassandra, they talk about voting Yau-Man off. They plan on lulling Yau-Man into believing that he doesn't need to use his Idol at Tribal Council so Stacy plays it up that she's resigned to being voted off. Yau-Man has bad vibes but Earl doesn't agree.

Tribal Council
Jeff had Dreamz tell the Jury about the deal he made with Yau-Man. Stacy said that she was worried because she is the late-comer to the alliance and mentions a split vote (tie?).

Voted Off: Stacy
Yau-Man played a Hidden Immunity Idol after the votes were cast and it looked like it was a good thing too.

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
There's still the possibility of another Hidden Immunity Idol but the last time they can be used is the next Tribal Council.

Preview Ep. 13

Survivor Fiji, preview episode 13

I Wanna See If I Can Make A Deal

The penultimate episode [next to last] of the season sees the castaways whittled down to five. For reward, the players compete for a new truck and the winner tries to use it as a bargaining chip.

One Survivor surprises everyone when they attempt to use their Reward as a bargaining chip.

The tribe is left in a state of shock when one Survivor reveals their decision of who to send to Exile Island.

One Survivor creates a hidden path to eavesdrop on conversations, while back at camp, others plot to take him out of the game.

The final episode of Survivor Fiji and the reunion show are this Sunday night.

Rumors
Reward Challenge: Yau-man wins the car and trades it to Dreamz as part of a deal but then Dreamz goes back on his word?

Exile Island: Yau-man? He sends himself to Exile Island so he can search for another Hidden Immunity Idol.

Immunity Challenge: Boo. There's a reason the promos for the episode are saying Yau-Man is in trouble, he doesn't win Immunity.

Voted Off: Stacy finally goes to the Jury? But does Yau-Man have to use an Immunity Idol??

It looks like Big Earl will get his Final Four: Earl, Cassandra, Dreamz and Yau-Man.

Adios Alex

Survivor Fiji, episode 12

A Smile, Velvet Gloves and a Dagger in My Pocket

The strategy of splitting the vote at Tribal Council back fired a little according to Big Earl, he wanted Alex voted off. Stacy tried to make nice with Alex and Earl sent Boo over to break them up.

Alex goes into ninja mode, pretends to be asleep as he listens to Earl.

Earl's Core Four
Earl, Yau-man, Cassandra and Dreamz. Yau-man doesn't like wants Stacy in instead of Dreamz, says Cassandra and Dreamz are too close.

Reward Challenge
Reward: helicopter ride to river raft for winner and two runners up. Winner picks Exile and gets help in Immunity Challenge.
Challenge: Meat collection one mouthful at a time.
Boo won Reward, Yau-man and Dreamz were runners up.

Rafting Trip
Dreamz said that Boo talked too much and was annoying. Lunch full of food and letters from home!

Exile Island: Earl
Earl thinks he can find the Idol with just two clues.

Alex and Dreamz talk and plot to get Boo voted off next.

Immunity Challenge
Challenge: race to dig up climbing steps, 3 finalists then use them to climb up a pole to get a flag. Boo's advantage was that he automatically is in the final.
Finalists: Boo, Dreamz and Alex.
Boo won Immunity. Alex was close.

Scheming Is Free
Looks like Alex is going home. Yau-man says that he won't need to use his Idol. However Alex is trying to get Yau-man voted off. Earl said in private that they're just humoring Alex.

Tribal Council
No big surprise at TC. Jeff asked each if they felt threatened and only Alex replied 'Yes.'
Yau-man did not play his Immunity Idol.

Voted Off: Alex
Final Words: I played to the best of my ability . . . gave 110% every day . . . kids never stop dreaming and believing in yourself . . .

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
I suggest that you head back to camp and sharpen your knives.

Preview Ep. 12

Survivor Fiji, preview episode 12

A Smile, Velvet Gloves and a Dagger in My Pocket

The castaways compete for a helicopter ride and a white-water rafting trip.

When the Immunity Challenge doesn't go their way, one Survivor proposes a compelling argument before Tribal Council, placing their fate into the hands of several tribemates.

One Survivor's constant chatter starts driving the others crazy. Could their mouth cost them the game?

Desperate for information, one Survivor uses sneaky tactics to eavesdrop on a confidential conversation.

Rumors
The magic 8 ball of the internet is cloudy this week.
Reward Challenge: Yau-man or Boo?
Exile Island: Big Earl?
Immunity Challenge: ? ? ?
Voted Off: Alex?

The Final Three?

I saw a rumor online that Alex, Boo and Cassandra are the final three. It could happen and it would be very interesting. Maybe Big Earl is not as in-charge as it looks right now and Alex (with help from Dreamz?) is able to break up the six who seem to be in a rough alliance. With seven Survivors left Alex, Boo, Cassandra and Dreamz would have a majority and be in the driver's seat.

If the rumor is true then we should have a good idea about it after this week's episode, if Alex is n't voted off then he most likely has managed to form a gang of four.
