Colby had the best, solid night's sleep that night. Colby said the hardest part of the game was the environment, dealing with the ever-changing weather. Tina said she couldn't believe she was still there on Day 40. She said she is very different from the beginning of the game; she has developed into a strategist. Tree mail arrived telling them to carve an idol; a small totem-pole like carving, and paint it whatever they wanted it to be. They were each provided with a piece of wood, a carving tool, beads and paint. They each reflected on the past experience as they took the day to make their idols. That night they spoke about the past 40 days and everything they had been through together. It seemed like they were feeling very sad to end their experience on the show, even though they missed their lives. Colby seemed to come to the realization that he may not win the game. They spoke about the upcoming immunity challenge and how important it was for their success of winning the game. Day 41 - The last day all three would spend together. Keith said it felt bittersweet since one would be leaving that night. It was a sad atmosphere. The three picked up their tree mail which told them to pack up their gear and head to a course they would fear. They packed up and carried their idols and torches along a path marked with flags represententing each of the 'already gone' survivors. We were then shown a clip of each of the survivors of the past, while dramatic music played in the background. It was very touching. The 3 met up with Jeff the host who gave them a chance to reflect on their experience. Colby was emotional. Jeff asked them to take their idols and find a quiet spot to reflect on the past 41 days. He asked them to come back when they were done, throw their idols into the water and follow Jeff to Tribal Council. The jury was brought in and Jeff explained the final immunity challenge. 12 questions will be asked about the former tribe mates. The person with the most right answers will win immunity and make it to the final two. After 7 questions, Colby was in the lead with 5 right. Colby won immunity after 12 questions. Since Keith and Tina's vote nullify each other, only Colby voted. To my complete and utter shock, Colby chose Keith to be the 14th person to leave the outback. That left Colby & Tina left for Day 42. After Tribal Council, Tina and Colby felt relief and "sheer exhilaration". Colby said it was the best feeling he'd had in 42 days. They both said that they pulled Keith along in order to get majority votes. Colby said he didn't feel Keith earned the right to make it to the final 2. The next morning they hugged each other and hung out together, savouring their surroundings for the final time. They each spoke about the other person and how they had played the game. Colby said that Tina played the game better than the others. They burned their camp as a tribute to the game. Colby said he has played the game selfishly, however made an unselfish decision choosing Tina to be next to him at the end. He said he felt confident he could have won the million next to Keith, however, chose Tina anyway. He said he doesn't know if he even has a 50/50 chance against Tina. The two packed up their things, hugged each other, grabbed their torches and headed off to meet Jeff. The jury then had a moment to talk about the final result of Survivor. Rodger hadn't made up his mind who to vote for. It seemed obvious that none of them knew who they should vote to win the money. Jerri said they had both backstabbed her and was glad to be in a position of power once again. The jury was brought in and Jeff explained how it would work. Each would address the jury to explain why they should win the money. The jury would then ask each a question. Tina went first asking them not to vote on their feelings being hurt. Colby said he doesn't know if he deserves to win over Tina. He felt that he did a good job in the game. Rodger's question was for them to tell him when they had lied in the game and if they'd played ethically. Other questions included what they would do with the money, manipulation, and who they would exclude from giving money to. Both said Jerri. Jerri came up and asked them to clear their conscience by bringing up some regrets. She was obviously waiting for an apology, but Colby didn't bite. The jury was then asked to consider the answers and make their decision on who should win the million dollars. Each was asked to write down who they believe should win the million dollars, and place that name in the bucket. The second prize is $100,000.00. The votes will be sealed and revealed live in the U.S. during the live show. A helicopter appeared and Jeff hopped in with the votes safely in hand, while the 9 survivors watched. The live show began with a fake tribal council in a studio with Jeff flying in a helicopter. Both Tina and Colby looked extremely different, with makeup and haircuts. Jeff entered the studio holding the bucket of votes tightly in his hands. The crowd erupted when he entered the tribal council. All 9 survivors were wearing the same clothes. Jeff asked them how they've dealt with the suspense of not knowing who won. Jeff explained that they wanted to wait on the results in order for them to reflect. The winner wins an Aztec, the Barramundi flag, and a cheque for $1,000,000.00. Jeff read the votes slowly. Tina won the million dollars. Colby seemed genuinely happy for her. It was a much nicer atmosphere than the first Survivor. Everyone hugged each other and seemed very happy for each other. The End.  |
