That is a great defence of Becky's game play Sea! Those are all very valid points.

One hour before showtime .... my last report for Survivor: Cook Islands Across the Board Picks, those that have had the guts to put them up so far........all say Ozzy wins the money, but it is a close vote (something like 5 to 4.

I have a good hunch you're right. Ozzy has played a good game and I think most players respect him for that game play and all of his challenge wins.

You Guys are welcome.......my pleasure!!! And I love it when a show is so close that the spoilers aren't sure who is going to win. Both Yul and Ozzy deserved to win from two different points of view......so the outcome was a big surprise. And, Ozzy got the car, and, I believe, $100,000 as second place winner. That ought to be plenty enough to pay for that highger education he said he wanted........so you go Ozzy! I'm still wondering how they would have handled a 3-way tie in a scenario where each of the F3 would have received 3 votes from the jury. Hmmmm....maybe on a later show we will find out.

I really thought it would end up a two-way tie and the last vote would go to Becky. What would have happened then?

Well if it had not been for the "twist" Ozzy would have won the last endurance challenge and taken Becky..then he would have won hands down...Sorry that didn't happen

$100,000 after taxes might pay for a couple of years of school but that's about it.

I thought tuition at California schools was relatively inexpensive. Let's face it. That question about "how will this money make you a better person?" is pretty ridiculous. Yul is already a lawyer and, based upon his education, probably a high paid one. His options on how to spend the money are probably a lot more diverse than Ozzy's, who apparently has had to work in a more (certainly diverse) variety of jobs than Yul. IF giving the money away to others is a criteria for winning the $1 million then Yul is probably your guy. If changing your life significantly is the criteria then Ozzy seemingly had more need. But I'm sure he's happy with that beautiful vehicle...I know I would be!

the govt will get 40% right off the top, so that will leave $60k. plus, he will have to pay taxes on the car. tuition, books, fees, room & board for one year of college is estimated at: # Average cost for a Private College: $ 31,916 # Average cost for a Public College: $ 15,566 # Average cost for an Out of State Public College: $ 23,239 **note** these costs were projected in 2003 and should be adjusted for inflation at between 5% and 8% per year.

Holy Cow!!!........ While I'm at it, I heard that in the next season there will be two Exile Island Immunity Idols. That came from a local interview show here in the New Orleans area this morning when they were interviewing two previous Survivor contestants, and Reverend John said the next one has the 2 idols.

Ozzy could do what many people do and take his lower division classes at a community college. Funny though this morning when asked he mentioned cars, not college.. Two idols AND a twist with EI. And since there wasn't an F3 competition it just might have been something that Ozzy wouldn't win so we'll never know, will we?

Last night I thought Yul looked like he'd DIE if he won the vehicle.. he really wanted Ozzy to win that, after he won the million.

Thanks Guys.... I appreciate being appreciated!!! Just remember that all I do is bring over the pictures, speculation and spoiling I find elsewhere. I'm not a spoiler myself (LOL). The final Survivor Insider gave the last words at the Tribal Council voting where Adam left, and it was all the Aitu 4 together spiehl. And it gave the last words at the Tribal Council voting where Sundra left and it said "as agreed" to force a tie. But, it did not give the final voting of the 9-people jury where Yul won. I picked this up over at Survivor Blows and thought it would be on interest to you. Ozzy's Votes 1. Parvati (as seen in E14) 2. Nate (confirmed by Ozzy in his Survivor Live interview) 3. Rebecca (ditto) 4. Jenny (ditto) Yul's Votes 1. Jonathan (as seen in E14) 2. Adam (as admitted in reunion show) 3. Sundra (as admitted in her SL interview) 4. Candice (confirmed by Ozzy in his SL interview) 5. Brad (only logical conclusion to give Yul five votes) ***************** In case you are interested. I think I get it now. Nate, Rebecca and Jenny all stayed together in their thoughts, probably seeing Ozzy as the challenge winner and bread winner, and Parvati almost had an alliance with Ozzy. Jonathan did not get along with Ozzy and had more respect for Yul, Adam made a commitment to Yul and Candice swings anyway that Adam tells her I think, and Brad was also from the Asian Community. So, I think the deciding vote for Yul was made by Sundra....because Sundra always seemed to be paired with Ozzy, and Becky paired with Yul....and that surprises me. Obviously, she felt stronger to the F3 of Yul, Becky and herself if they could have ousted Ozzy and never could. Very Interesting!!!.................

Just a note about higher education in California. If you live at home, you can get a Cal State education for less than $3,000 a year including books. Financial aid for Hispanic or other underrepresented students means that they can just about attend free for four years. Ozzy went to Santa Barbara City College so he should have 2.5-3 years left. It's something he could have done without money from Survivor, many people in California do.

Cal State education is very expensive. Costs for one year living on campus estimate is over $16,000 a year. My neice just got accepted to Cal State Monterey Bay. This is a break down that they give of her costs. She is hispanic and that is no guarantee that she will get a free ride. $3000 for fees, $1314 for books, $9,028 for room and board, $2088 misc./personal, and $774 transportation. All of these costs go up even more if you live off campus.

But Ozzy already has to live and has those expenses and there are cheaper places to live, with a Cal State, than Monterey Bay (that would be nice.. didn't even know there was one there) But he did win $100,000 so even after taxes and the taxes on the vehicle.. he should be able to swing a couple of years and, like most students he could work, too. Not to mention the reality show lecture circuit where he can make some decent money speaking. Anyway, Survivor isn't a Scholarship, right? And Ozzy's answer sounded geared for the jury. He was completely fuzzy about what he would do with his education, if any.

I never believe the estimates for college. Especially $1314 for books. Book costs have a lot to do with the type of program you're in and they vary depending on the professor and the course. I managed to get buy buying basically no books once I figured it out my last few years of college. 1. Check the library for the books- often the school's library has text books that are used for classes and can be checked out for a long time. Sometimes they're new, cometimes they're an older edition but new editions are generally the same thing with different pictures, maybe slightly rearranged chapters. Libraries are especially great for Lit classes obviously. 2. Don't bother buying the book. This is what I usually did. It generally comes down to this- if you attend class and take good notes, you don't need the book. At least I didn't. Almost every test I've taken is based off what they lecture about more than anything else- they tell you what they think is important and they test you on what they think is important. 3. Look at the syllabus. If they're requiring only 30 pages of reading out of a $150 book, I recommend buying the book, photocopying those pages that you need (at ten cents a copy this is only $3.00). Then return the book before the deadline. There you have it, an almost total elimination of books fees. Book fees were never an issue for me. I was in college for seven years (hey, I have two degrees and was Deans List throughout- I wasn't just having fun). They tell you that you need a lot of stuff you don't because they want your money. Meal plans? Unless you want to live on crappy cafeteria food morning noon and night, I wouldn't bother. I know most schools have the flex spending now and thet's better, but I would never buy a full weekly meal plan.

Gonzilly, have your niece make a one on one appointment with Financial Aid. There is a ton of money just waiting for California students attending Cal State. Most are communter schools, so they don't include living expenses. Dorms are usually for out of state students. Right now there is all sorts of federal money for Hispanic students attending schools which serve Hispanic students. About 90% of California school's Hispanic students qualify for the aid. Unless your niece comes from a very wealthy family, she will qualify for something. Further, if she had a "C" average (2.1) in high school, she will get a Cal Grant which this year is almost $3,000. As for Ozzy, he will most likely prefer to attend Cal State Northridge which has an excellent program in Leisure (translation: PE) and all sorts of job opportunities for those students while they study. He could have done it without his Survivor money. I do hope he doesn't waste his cash on a surfer commune.

I read somewhere that Ozzy already has completed some work at a community college, so he's not starting from scratch.
