I've just finished viewing the last show...It would have been a 2-hour show aired. Very lengthy, even on the website.
***************************************
Section 1:
1 - A recap from Day 1:
Joe Don was first Captain with officers Ben and Cheryl.
Azmuth was the next captain and with Ben and Jay had a triad.
Then Azmth was captain with no officers.
They Christa became captain.
Only ones left for the next expedition are Christa, Jay and Ben.
2 - F3 celebratory snack waiting down below after Louie was cast adrift ... cheese bread, Beano (??), and wine.
3 - Jay conference - says he feels closer to Ben than he does to Christa.
4 - Ben says, while they are snacking, "Best man on that day will take it." and Christa looks down, no smile...probably because Ben said "Best Man"

Section 2:
1 - It's a cloudy day. Jay says, "I've got a 1 outta 3 chance for a 1/2 million dollars. Jay says he will not stop for anything.
Christa confessional: She has a weird feeling
Ben confessional: He is nervous and excited.
2 - Pirates to Midship - Congratulations.
Cameron opens the lock, lifts the top of the box and there is only one clue folded up.
3 - He says, "This is not your final expidition." There will only be two competing at the end for the 500K.
4 - This last treasure was buried by the 1st Mate. Whoever finds this treasure will earn the right to compete for the 500K fortune. First Mate was a military master - into weapons and swords - wrote notes and clues in Latin. Take this one clue and go below deck together and copy what you will need to win. They each sketch the map and copy latin versus English words on their own clue sheet to take with them.
5 - Jump overboard and swim to shore (Ben jumps from ship between Jay and Christa). Take the path to the narrow swinging bridge and look for hanging sword and the next clue. Swimming was close with Ben 1st, then Jay, then Christa.
6 - Ben finds the bridge first with Jay right behind him. By the time one of them figures out that the 3 swords are hanging down from the bridge with the clue attached, they all 3 wind up pulling their swords with clues up together. Ben takes off with the sword and the clue. Go to pool to get next clue.
7 - Clue - Race down ravine to boulder where clue is written. Ben gets there 1st, Jay following right behind, each carrying their swords. Jay used notes he had made to decipher the Latin. Christa catches up. In confessional she says she was carrying the stuff individually and it slowed her down, whereas the guys had put all their stuff into the back-bags.
8 - Ben reads clue - Climb all the way back to the top, look for more water and clue is under water. Jay gets back to the swinging bridge just before Ben, so Ben knows that Jay, with the sword, would sabotage him, so Ben gets on the bridge and walks it right behind Jay.
9 - Ben cuts the bridge and sabotages Christa. Jay said, "I didn't like it but the pirate in me took over and I didn't feel bad about it at all."
10 - Christa has to follow a different path to get to where she is going since bridge cut lose.
11 - Running through the rain forest was hard because it was so slippery and Jay said he fell down a lot.
12 - Ben gets to the water first - exhausted - carrying 15 pounds on his back and ready to pass out. Finds the clue underwater that says gold is by the waterfall. Heads that way with Jay right on his back. Ben finds it and Jay says "The young beat the old man". Ben says he is "on top of the word".
13 - Confessional - Jay - "I should have cut Ben last week, not Louie. With this expedition I could have beat Louie." Christa goes right up to the waterfall cave and gives Ben a big hug.
14 - Swim back to the ship. Open treasure box and it has two nice small boxes in it with the clues for the next expedition plus $50K for Ben. Jay and Christa are automaticly black-spotted.
15 - "A ghost court will decide which of Jay or Christa will have the chance against Ben for the $500K tonight", says Cameron. Ben is given the Captain's coat and hat.
16 - Ben split the $50K by 3 to reward Jay and Christa for their past loyalties in getting him to this guaranteed spot.
17 - Christa says she now has $78K and Jay says he has $105K, after what Ben just gave them. (Ginger note: I have $78K in my notes, but I remember $79K ... so it's one of those figures.)

Section 3:
1 - Night Court: Cameron whistles and the old 13 pirates climb overboard and sit as a jury. Cameron announces that Ben is safe - no chance for a mutiny.
2 - Defend yourselves:
Christa says she had a strategy since the beginning - to at first lay low and find an aggressive person to play for my daughter. Needs the money.
Jay says if it's a popularity or beauty contest, he will lose. It's no secret the kind of game he has played. He has pretty much been behind the black spot for everybody and talked up the votes for them being cut adrift. He has played the pirate and a cut-throat game, but really "I am a nice guy," he says.
3 - Some of jury gets to have their say:
Nessa - verbally attacks Jay as cruel, and says Ben is right behind him.
Cheryl - says it is a tough choice because she doesn't respect any of the 3. It shows that they lie and cheat their way through life and now the whole world knows it.
Kendra - was tired of the pity card that Christa is always playing regarding her daughter. Says Christa is weak.
Joe Don - tells Jay he is not a Pirate Master, he is a puppet master. Says that Christa was controlled by Jay and is not a leader.
Azmuth - attacks Jay as a very bright and brilliant person and didn't have to act as he did.
John - says that Jay has the abilities of deception and overcame adversities. Says Christa has spirit and that he believes in Christa.
4 - Defend yourselves now after these words:
Jay - "Yes, I did deceive. The game requires deception."
Christa - "Sorry if the talk about my daughter has offended anybody, but she is my life."
5 - Cameron - "Ghosts, you have to make a choice."
6 - There are 13 ballots - it's 12 to 1 - Jay loses.
7 - Jay is not cut adrift. He is to join the ghosts. Cameron says, "The adventure is far from over and you all have a lot to do." The ghosts are to stay aboard. To Ben he says, "Captain, it's your ship." Christa is given a coat too and will compete against Ben for the $500K.
8 - Joe Don confessional - "I'm pulling for Christa". Nessa confessional - she is for Christa. She thinks Christa has been underestimated.

Section 4:
1 - Next Day - Ben feels good to be Captain, but he is afraid of what it means with all the ghosts around.
2 - Laurel confessional - "Ben is a faker. I have no respect for him."
3 - Alexis, Laurel and Nessa plus Christopher are shown as not willing to work - no incentive. Jupiter wants to help around ship, and Louie just loves being on the ship....so he is working.
4 - Ben has a talk with Louie and brings up throwing the last week's expedition again. He tells Louie that he was given $12K for his take on that show, and he gives it to Louie. He wants Louie's forgiveness which Louies gives. Louie takes the money and Ben feels he has come clean and has a weight off his shoulders.
5 - Jay - talking with Christa - he is rooting for her - and in confessional says she needs the money more.
6 - Night - pirates and ghosts to Midship. This is Final Court. Ben and Christa will need to recruit 3 each from the jury to help them in their search for the $500K. Ben must pick 1 guy and 2 gals, and Christa the opposite to keep it fair. Show of hands show that some of the ghosts do not want to participate. Those that will play are poled as to their feelings.
7 - Louie - I'll play
Cheryl - I'll play and will play fair
Sean - I'm a good player and will play fair
Jupiter - will give 100% to either
Azmuth - would help and play fair
John - Will not help Ben. Believes in Christa and would help her.
Nessa - One or the other - would help either - but if has to narrow it down, she would like a female to win.
Jay - Christa is most likely to win. Tells Christa to pick those that would make her win. Look around me and there are stronger and better players. If you don't choose me, there will be no hard feelings.
Kendra - will help Christa only
Joe Don - Not Ben. Love to help Christa - his alligiance is there.
8 - Now Ben's dander is up. "Now, I'm the underdog!" He throws a bag out with $80K and says, "This is my winnings so far. My 3, if we win, you 3 get to share the $80K." He is getting meaner by the minute, he says in confessional.
9 - Christa's turn to speak again - she has played with heart and soul. Commits her winnings to date to her 3 also, to be competitive.
10 - Ben and Christa have to pick ballots. Christa has picked John, Jay and Nessa. Ben has picked Cheryl, Azmuth and Nessa. This causes a situation - with both picking Nessa.
11 - Ben says if she plays for him she gets to share $80K, and if he loses she can have $10K of his winnings, so she is guaranteed $10 win or lose.
12 - Christa - poles Jay and John about her winnings to Nessa, and they both say......"You don't have to offer us money to play for you."
13 - Nessa takes Christa's offer, which is better than Ben's offer, if Christa wins.
14 - Ben picks Jupiter to be on his crew with Azmuth and Cheryl.
15 - Those not picked are put into a boat and "cut adrift", so to speak....they paddle off. Ben did the cut. You can hear cheers, and laughing, and the last thing you hear as they row into the darkness is a long, hearty Louie pirate laugh .... right from the soul like he does.
16 - In confessional Christa is asked why she picked John and she said so he could have another chance to prove himself, and Nessa too and she picked Jay because she wants others to see that he really is a good guy.
17 - Nessa confessional - bid for me was a very great feeling. She says $70K promised if Christa wins. (Ginger note: that $70K, $78K, $79K is very confusing...but we know it's one of those figures).
18 - Ben confessional - Said it has lit a fire under him to see the crew is all wanting Christa to win. He says, "They've created a monster. I'll run til I die."

Section 5:
1 - Next day - Pirates to midship - the first clue for this expedition was in the chest that Ben had found.
2 - Christa confessional - feels confidant.
3 - Long boats - paddle ashore, follow path to a set of caves - untie a chinese box and use keys to open drawers for clues. Ben's crew got to the beach first, but the red crew passed them in the running to the caves.
4 - First thing was that the cave entrances were barred with planks nailed, or something. Had to be knocked down for entrance by both teams.
5 - Inside is a chinese puzzle box tied to the ground, ----- untied and brought outside. Must take the chinese chest up to an abandoned armory where there is a key in the barrel of a cannon that will open that chest. This chest has a long pole through the top, so that Ben and Azmuth can carry it with the poles on their shoulders, and the other team with John and Jay.
6 - Red is behind. Clues in the chinese chest are a couple of decks of cards (or maybe just 1 deck). You put them in order and then on the side you can read a clue. The Black team puts it in order of suits, but Christa has her team putting them together alternating suits (Jay can't figure out why...cause to him it was so simple).
7 - Black team reads clue that says next clue is under the cannonballs ... and they find a cave opening where there is a huge amount of small cannonballs. They dig through it and find burlap, under burlap is a captain's wheel and a note. Clue - Go up steep hill to Captain Steele's Quarters. Jay is spying and sees black team with Ben taking off with a Captain's Wheel up the steep hill...so he just goes and starts digging and gets the red team's wheel and note.
8 - Ben running up steep hill with wheel, and Christa right behind him but moving slower.
9 - The clue in the note says - Find the chambers, put the wheel on the Coat of Arms and read message. Look for a locked metal box with the key to open the treasure.
10 - Ben is having a hard time trying to figure out the clue after putting the wheel up, so Christa catches up again. Ben finally figures out the clue and it says............
"The treasure is in the chest of Zanzabar"
11 - Ben takes off running back downhill to rejoin his team with the heavy steel box that has the key to the treasure chest on the ship. Azmuth takes the box from him to carry the rest of the way back to their boat.
12 - Christa figures it out right after he leaves and has a harder time carrying the heavy steel box back to her team. John takes the steel box from Christa and lifts and runs with it without a bit of trouble (he is soooo strong), but when they get back to the boat the other team is already way out in the water headed for the ship.
13 - The steel chest has a secret apartment that has metal puzzle pieces that fit into the bottom of the chest to help figure out the code to the lock on the chest. Ben finally figures out from the puzzle pieces that the code is 16 - 88, opens the lock, opens the box and gets the silver key which openes the top of the chest of Zanzabar. Christa is still working on the puzzle pieces trying to figure out the code to open the lock
14 - Key opens chest - there's 1/2 million - Ben wins and Christa jumps on him, hugs and happy for him, and the whole time she is hugging him with her legs wrapped around his body, he is thanking her for getting him there.
15 - Ben is not the underdog anymore - He is the Pirate Master, Ben Fagan at age 23.
16 - In the last credits run on the show there is a large screen with just -
"In Memory of Cheryl ----- last name, date of birth and death --- I didn't catch that, but we all already know. Nice that they put the show in her memory......

That was a vicious jury Pirate's Court. I thought Jay would have gotten more votes. (I like how Kendra told Christa to get a job!)

It was a nice change to have the final winner decided through a competition instead of a vote -- more like TAR instead of BB/Survivor. I wonder if they knew that's how it would be decided? Seems like they would have tried to keep someone weaker like Kendra around if they knew.

Your Welcome....I love the flowers.

I just received a link to a video my niece did for her hometown of Ocean Springs, Ms. that got hit by Hurricane Katrina also. She is 25 years old, and this was her 2nd try at doing a video...and I think it's great. Ocean Springs with history pictures, current pictures and Katrina pictures with "Our Town" music in the background. Here's the link if you want to see it.

I just watched the finale. Overall I really enjoyed this show. I was glad that Ben won. I thought the ghost pirates were bitter losers, but I should be used to that by now after watching years of Survivor. Jay should have been in the final 2. He was a great pirate.

I wish they would have shown us who the one vote in Jay's favor came from.

Dang, Ginger, what a wonderful job you did of recapping the finale! Now I don't have to watch it. I loved, loved, LOVED your account. I was on the edge of my comfortable padded computer chair reading your account. That was way better than watching it.

It sounds like the one vote was Kendra, doesn't it?

Many, many thanks, Ginger.

Don't have time to watch your niece's video tonight, but I hope to remember to get back to look at it tomorrow.

I put a reminder to myself in my folder. I also invited everybody else and their dawgs to view the video. Hope that is okay. If not, send a note to the mods and tell them to take it out of my folder.

Again, Ginger, thanks for all you have done this season for all the shows.

If Kendra was the lone vote to ditch Christa what was the deal with saying she only wanted to be on her crew? Sabotage?

I am so glad to see I am not the lone viewer. I really liked this show. I would have been happy with either one winning. That don't happen often.

Ginger I am going to watch your nieces video now. I too live in Ocean Springs. I have kind of avoided today all together. I guess some things take a long time to heal. I couldn't bring myself to attend any of todays services, so I just took off this morning and donated blood.

Understand exactly what you mean Biloxi!!! We got hit pretty hard over here in Slidell, and even though hubby and I are finally back to normal, I still ride through sections that have FEMA trailers out in front of the houses.

I checked the CBS site this morning and tried to put up that Kendra was the only vote for Christa to be set adrift. I couldn't get it on here because they were doing maintenance and I had to go baby-sit 1/2 day. So, that confirms what Spear found. Jenny, to answer your question, Kendra was pulling for Jay, so she voted to set Christa adrift. When that didn't work, and it was between Christa and Ben is when she said she would just play for Christa. Obviously, she didn't want Ben to win and would have helped Christa at that point if she were picked.

Thanks for the recaps everyone. So Ben won, well, I wanted Jay, but I guess Ben was better in the end. I wish they aired the rest, I really don't want to watch it on-line, but perhaps I'll have a look, as it reads like it was lots of fun. Thanks again everyone.

Tnt, you are very welcome. It was my pleasure. I am B- so I try to give whenever I can.

I don't do well with commemorating anniversaries of public tragedies in a public setting. I would always end up in a state of sadness and depression.

I found out after 9/11 I feel much more fulfilled by quietly and privately giving blood. I do the same thing to commemorate personal anniversaries such as the death of a loved one, certain birthdays and different things that Stephanie has endured though out her life.

I finally got time to read the final recap, and I cried twice...first was the tribute to Cheryl, and the second was Biloxi's donation on special occasions. I'm so emotional these days, and that just hit me. It's so special!!

GINGER!!! Thank you so much for all of the hard work to giving us with WebTV the opportunity to know how this show ended. I hate that they pulled it just as it was getting good!! You are an AlaAngel!!
