Original subtitles

36 days ago on this remote Malaysian island, 16 Americans began the adventure

a lifetime.

They became castaways, leaving behind their jobs, their loved ones, and all

contact with civilization.

Their goal? Work together to build a new world, but compete against each other

to become the sole survivor and win $1 million.

It was to become the ultimate human experiment.

We have to function together or we fail.

I'm a redneck, and I don't know if corporate world is off. If corporate

ain't going to work out here, then who is?

I've been working my ass off and a lot of you have been laying on your ass

watching me. Don't give me any of that.

The hardest part is hanging around with all these young kids.

I don't even know what MTV means.

At first, the Castaways competed as two separate tribes.

Pagong and Tagi. Drivers ready?

Go!

Every third night, the losing tribe would hike deep

into the jungle to take part in tribal council, where they had to vote one of

their own off the island.

Three castaways from Pagong and three from Tagi met their untimely fate in

first 18 days.

On day 21, the tribes merged.

and the competitions became individual.

As the numbers dwindled, the stakes grew higher, and alliances were promised.

So are we going to stick to it? I'm going to stick to it.

You, me, and Jervis could definitely do something. So let's do it.

So now it's you and me to the end, period.

But as strategies deepened, bonds were broken.

Because I trust her more than I trust you. Why? That's both. I've been your

friend since day one.

At last week's tribal council, Sean was voted off.

Now, only four remain.

But tonight, one of these castaways will make it through the last three tribal

councils and become the sole survivor.

Time is kind of out of my head. I don't have a clock or a calendar or a watch or

anything. But for some reason, I feel really, really comfortable, really good

now. I think it has to do with just how short, how little time is left.

We're down to 60 hours. So 60 hours, if you look at it that way, I can deal with

it for a chance to win a million dollars. But the hardest thing for me

has come down to probably the boredom.

The girls got razor

blades in their care package.

So after they got done under their arms, I shaved my face.

Yeah.

Looks great. Cool.

Just like uptown. Yeah, he looked great.

Hey, Rudy.

Clean shaven.

How's it feel?

Dying to get rid of that thing.

We made about 200 pots of rice since we've been here.

Sometimes we ate three times a day.

Sometimes twice a day.

Sometimes once a day.

I'd say I lost 22 pounds since I've been here.

How much do we got here, Rudy? Like three quarters of a ball each?

Yeah. It is getting down to the wire, eh?

I'm a wreck.

My hair is way longer than I ever keep it. It feels like a mop.

There's nothing left. I used to have a muscle here growing.

I think I've lost a good 30 pounds since getting here.

But everything's loose.

There's nothing that's firm on this body anymore.

Basically, I'm a physical wreck.

I'm completely covered in bug bites from head to toe.

I've lost some weight.

I've lost some muscle.

I've lost quite a hunk of sanity.

Gosh, I don't think I thought this was going to be as mental as it ended up

being.

What's it like living with somebody you don't care for at the time, sleeping

next to your enemy?

You just do it. You just hang out with them.

and eat next to them and just treat them like a civil person.

That's all you can do.

The four of us that are here right now, we formed this alliance, A, in the

beginning.

And, you know, we were in a position of power where we could get rid of anybody

we wanted to.

We had them lined up.

But now we're finished with the alliance because the four of us are left, so...

You're on your own.

I was really shocked in the beginning by how few people were planning.

It seemed a vacation to 16 people who were told what this was about, who saw

logo that said Outwit, Outplay, Outblah, same as I did.

In the beginning, nobody wanted the money, but now it's all money.

It's on everybody's mind.

In order to win the money, you've got to make an alliance or don't even show up.

When we got to the point where the original four were still here as the

final four, that alliance had gone through a number of machinations that

changed it from being the original four to almost anybody's game.

I feel like I agreed to be an alliance and then... I didn't want to be in it

anymore, but I was too chicken to tell them that.

I tried to play both sides. I tried to vote how I wanted to vote, do what I

thought was right, but not let them in on it because, hell, I want to stay in

the game.

After Gretchen, she didn't vote in any of the ways the Lions voted. She's

setting herself up so that if she is the last two at the end, she's going to

make herself look really good.

We knew there would be more Pagan on the jury than Taghi.

I just bit off way more than I could chew, and it all exploded.

Guys, what it is is greedy. She thinks she's got, like, five, six people a

It's like, you can see her turn a little bit.

Then I was really irritated.

This has not been easy to, you know, come out here on the island and get bit

by bugs and stung by stingrays.

So I told Kelly, my family's my number one goal. I think I got a better chance

of winning the million dollars with arrogant Rich by my side than with her

side.

Had Sue not informed me that she had broken the alliance and established one

with Kelly, I never would have known it, and the two of them would have easily

undermined me, and I could have gone at any point if they'd maintained that

alliance. So it's kind of neat, cute, nice that the final four were the

four, but it wasn't a continuous line of, ooh, initial four, make it all the

through. There's a different feeling attached with it. Not that sense of

accomplishment I would have had had the truck been unbreached and we went

through cleanly.

Message, message, message.

Ode to the fallen comrade.

Here are your targets from Tribal Council. Hope you've learned about the

you've sacked.

Come to the next challenge with all your big packs.

Oh, how cool. I like that personality.

Somebody will go tonight, and we're waiting until after we get back to eat

got more food, because one month will be gone.

Could be mine, could be anybody's.

I think maybe this challenge will be to ask questions about each person, maybe

how old they were, what they do for a living, which I don't know.

And I don't care.

Rudy was just asking what Sean did again.

Rudy won't do very well.

I think it's going to be questions about these people, seeing how well we knew

them, how well we listened to them.

I guess we'll let that.

Let's cut to a time. I would say that Rich, Rudy, and I are getting along

and Kelly's the one we've been wanting to get out of here.

I feel completely vulnerable. I feel a hard man out.

It's really stressful, and it's kind of scary because I'm not safe anymore.

Kelly. would have been gone by now if she didn't ace the last two immunities.

We're praying that one of us three wins today. The one person I did

actually care about was Sue, and she doesn't give a shit about me. So I don't

give a crap about anybody on this island anymore.

I'm here for me and everybody else because of my ass.

We'll go ahead and bring our jury in.

Day 37, we're down to two immunity challenges.

We invited the jury in because what we're going to do tonight embodies what

Survivor is all about.

The game is called Fallen Comrades.

It's a simple quiz game to find out how much you've learned about the other

castaways while you've been here.

We're going to ask you ten questions.

There's one point for each answer you get correct.

The person with most points... at the end of the game, wins immunity.

Immediately following, we'll hold a vote.

Make sense?

Okay.

Question one.

Who received only one vote at the first tribal council?

Okay.

Turn it over. We're doing these one by one.

See everybody's vote.

Stacy. Move one for Rudy.

One for Sue.

Now your answers are suddenly valuable, Rudy. They're all peeking over my

shoulder. Here's the second question. In Treasure Island Relay, name the Pagong

members who ran the following legs of that event.

Number one is the swimming leg.

Number two, the floating bridge.

Number three, the paddle.

Number four, the run. Number five, who did the dig?

Okay, turn them around. We'll go one by one. The swim was Colleen. Number two,

the floating bridge was Greg.

The paddler was Joel.

The runner was Jervis.

And the last, the dig, there were two people, Gretchen and Jenna.

One for Sue, one for Richard, one for Kelly.

Okay, question three.

Of the former Castaways, whose shirt is this?

Rudy, all right.

Five seconds.

Okay.

Kelly's right. It was Janet.

Okay. Kelly and Sue tied in the lead with two each.

Question four.

What state is Jervis from?

What state is Jervis from?

Okay. It's real.

New Jersey is right.

Sue, Rich, and Rudy each get a point.

Sue is in the lead. You're off to a good start.

Question five.

Whose blue bandana is this?

Blue bandana.

All right. Reveal.

Greg is right. Kelly. The only person with the right answer.

Sue and Kelly in the lead.

Three points each.

Question six.

What are the names of these two girls?

Five seconds, guys.

Okay. Won't waste it. Flip around.

No idea. No idea.

Sabrina.

Their middle names.

And Sadie. Both right.

Kelly, moving out into a lead. We have four questions left.

Question seven.

Other than the raft and personal belongings, what three items did Pagong

with them when they moved to Tagi Beach?

You need all three items.

Still writing, Rudy? Okay.

What's your reel?

The answers were a mosquito net, cooking pot, and a blanket.

Rudy, you're right.

Blanket, mosquito net, cooking pot, Kelly, you're right. So it's Rudy,

Sue. You should get one point.

All right, we have three questions left.

Kelly in the lead.

Question eight.

Name the two survivors from Pagong who did not compete in the obstacle course.

Five seconds, Richard.

Okay, let's see what you have.

Jervison, Colleen, Jervison, Colleen, Jervison, Colleen. That's right.

Rudy, Kelly, Sue.

Wrong again, Richard.

Okay, Kelly in the lead with six.

Sue, close behind with five. Rudy, you have four.

Question nine.

Sean was the chief resident of what department in the hospital?

Sean was the chief resident of what department in the hospital?

Okay, flip.

Neurology, neurology, eternity, neurology.

Okay, everybody but Kelly.

Okay, last question.

Sue and Kelly, you're both tied at six.

Rudy, you've got five.

This could determine the winner and who gets immunity. But if Kelly and Sue both

get it wrong, and Rudy, if you get it right,

And we'll have a three -way tie, in which case we'll go to a tiebreak.

Okay, here we go.

Last question. In order, list the survivors voted off the Pagong

tribe.

Okay, let's reveal.

This is for immunity.

Number one was Bebe.

Ramona was second.

Number three was Joel.

Number four, Gretchen. Number five, Greg.

Six was Jenna, Jervis, Colleen, Sue, Richard, and Kelly.

Do get credit.

Okay, that was our last question.

We have a tie between Kelly and Sue.

This is our tiebreaker question.

What is Sonia's last name?

She was in your tribe.

What is Sonia's last name?

Five seconds, Sue.

Let's reveal.

This is for immunity.

Sue, you don't know.

Kelly, Christopher is right.

Kelly, well done.

Immunity.

Four in a row, Kelly.

You are on a hot streak, for sure.

Do you pay attention to people usually and learn about them? That's what I do.

listen to people, and I especially listen when it's people I'm interested

people I like.

Okay. It's time to vote. Rich, you're up.

Her number was up.

Get off the stage.

Sue?

I'll go tally the votes.

As always, once the votes are tallied, the decision is final.

You'll be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

Sue.

Rich.

Sue.

Two votes for Sue, one vote for Rich.

Britt.

Our first tie.

Okay, so what has already been a long day and a long night is going to get a

little longer.

Here's how a tiebreaker works.

Rich and Sue will not vote.

Kelly and Rudy will vote again. But before we do that, I want to give each

you... 30 seconds to make a plea for why whoever voted for you should change

their vote. So, Rich, I'll start with you.

Well,

Kells Bell, somebody's got to go.

I'd appreciate your vote, not against me.

I'd love to stay. I think it's been an interesting road, to say the least.

As it gets more and more real down to these days, like some people may never

know, we worked well together, and I think I have a certain responsibility

pulling the alliance together from the beginning. These were the four we

with, and I'd ask for your help.

Love you, Sue.

Sue? Okay.

Rudy?

I'm not going to say anything.

I'm just leaving it the way it is.

You know me. You know how I operate, whatever.

Whatever you want to do.

Rudy, you're up.

Take this with you.

Same reason.

Thanks, Kelly.

I'm going to go tally the votes again.

You guys have been through a lot.

Let's do this.

Two votes.

One of you will be leaving the tribal council area.

First vote.

Sue.

Second vote.

Sue.

Thanks, buddy.

I'm ready to go.

You need to bring me a torch.

Thank you.

Have a smoke and coffee.

Okay.

Okay.

The tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

Goodbye.

You guys need to go get some sleep.

The last immunity challenge is tomorrow.

I'll be waking you up.

I'll see you guys back at camp.

Oh, I appreciate being able to talk to everybody for the last time.

Said, oh, it'd be great if I could finish in the top four or five. I

top four.

Hey, that's good enough for me. You know, outside of the weather and being

and rainy when it rained at night and the sand fleas, this was a lot easier

me than drive a truck to Chicago every day of the week.

That's a lot worse than being out here in the bush.

Kelly, Rich, and Rudy are all that remain of the Ratana tribe.

Still to come, two more tribal councils.

and we'll find out who will be the sole survivor.

Rich? Kelly?

Hey, yeah.

Oh, yes. Morning,

morning. Let me give you a little morning light here. Put on something

comfortable.

Rudy, when you're ready, come on over and join us.

The end is near.

You ready to go, Rudy?

Got a long boat ride ahead of us.

Today, this moment really is for you guys.

It is the final rite of passage of this whole survivor experience.

At the other end of the sand spit is the final immunity challenge.

To get there, you must first walk through these palm fronds.

The natives are chanting, San Dovar, spirit is around you.

Then you all must pass the staff of your fallen comrades.

As you go, take a moment, reflect on them.

You'll then pass through the bamboo curtain and walk barefoot across a fire

where the embers are burning at 1 ,200 degrees Fahrenheit.

For 38 days, this island, sometimes a paradise and sometimes a nightmare, has

embraced you as one of its own.

We have some mud from the mud volcano, but I think it's important that a little

piece of the island goes with you on this experience.

So what? Don't go back.

There have been so many steps along the way that you've stepped through one door

into another area.

What we want this to be right now is a way for you guys to take everything that

you've become over the last 38 days and channel it into one powerful experience.

This challenge is very simple in its nature and its execution.

We're calling it Hands on the Immunity Idol.

And the challenge is to simply keep your hand on that idol as long as you can.

The last person remaining with a hand on the idol wins immunity going into

tonight's vote.

So although you can't move your hands, You can lift your feet.

Just don't let your hand come off of this.

Good luck to you guys. Hang in there as long as you can. The last person

standing gets immunity.

And we are now beginning.

I have a request for 69 bottles of beer. Anybody?

Others?

What would your wife think right now if she could have a picture in here of you

in this mud volcano war paint holding a piece of wood? Walking through fire.

Walking through fire.

She'd probably shake her head as you'd go and walk away, you know.

She's doing something dumb again, you know.

You think she'd walk through the firewood? Would she?

Yeah,

if I told her to.

I tell her it's a lot of fun, you know, and she'll do it. Yeah, it seems to like

to do all, you know, skydives and stuff like that. Do you know Rudy's wife's

name?

Marge. Very good.

I had no idea whatsoever what your wife's name was. It wasn't that

already i know you're doing a lot better it looks like maybe the first 15 or 20

minutes you weren't sure but now you guys look like you've settled in for a

while well it ain't tingling much now sooner or later i'm gonna have to step

away and get some lunch and i yeah just wanna i don't blame you i get breakfast

Put it right down here.

Oh, don't even try and grab it. We can't hold it. Take a whiff. Take a whiff.

I thought we could just hold it. No.

You know, when you're finished, they'll be here for you. How about if we hold it

without eating them? Yeah, that'd be nice.

But... Keep getting that inspiration from the smell.

You don't want to smell?

They smell.

I know what I... They smell like oranges.

Oh.

You don't know what these oranges smell like.

You're sure.

Permeate your soul.

I'm thinking oatmeal, Jeff.

I'll just put yours here, Rich.

I think it's time for a speech.

Okay, Rich, let's have it.

I'm thinking I'm probably never going to outlast you, Kelly.

I'm going to hope that either one of you just recognize what I've done to get

here.

Si, senor.

I wish you both luck.

Oh, my gosh.

I thought you were going to make a long speech. Not long, I said. A speech.

This game is about...

A lot of different things. And one of those things is mental strategy.

And I thought to myself, it's doubtful that I would outlast Kelly because she

just stands there until the cows come home, period.

And it doesn't mean I'm giving up a million dollars necessarily.

How come? It means that whoever is immune has to pick between

the other two people as to who goes to the jury.

Each of them could 50 -50 pick me.

I really can't tell. Even if I am somebody that she'd be better up

don't know that she would do that. And even if Rudy's been loyal the entire

time, I don't know that he'd continue to be so. I think so. It's all a game of

odds, and who knows what somebody's going to actually do.

thirsty rich oh thank you jeff since you're out of the game appreciate that

lemon even well just for when you guys finish up let's put them over here with

your orange slices absolutely don't take your hand off the idol but step down

off the log so think about this before you do it get a good grip on it what

you're going to do is rotate position we're going to do that every 30 minutes

Rudy, you walked where Kelly's at and vice versa.

You'll have to reposition, exactly.

Were you surprised to see Kelly change her vote?

It's about what's in your best interest. We all four joined an alliance. Okay.

Then Sue and Kelly joined a sub -alliance. Against you guys?

Yeah. Okay. To the top. Sue and I had formed an alliance to go.

Which makes sense.

Sub -alliance is developing.

But for Sue to flip -flop again and come tell me.

Right. Undermines Kelly.

Right.

Undermines her trust. I did trust her earlier in the game, and I knew better.

knew better not to really trust anybody, and I did, and I got burned. Me too.

She and I had spoke also earlier about getting to the final four and final

three, and she said, well, I'm not going to let you to get down to the final

three, and you don't tell me that you're not going to let me do something or I

can't do something.

And then after I won that immunity after the match, she was, hey, are we still

this, this, that, and the other? And I said, what's this we?

All of a sudden. All of a sudden, you know, I won, and she was buddy -buddy

me again.

When Sue went behind my back and made an alliance with Kelly, I immediately, to

Rudy, because there were only four of us, Sue and Kelly were in an alliance

against me. I went to Rudy, who I thought I could trust, and said, Rudy,

still open to that alliance?

Here's what happened from the beginning.

I had one with Sue. It's why I couldn't promise you I'd make one with you.

Right. You want to make one. And that got you to the final four. Final two.

With him, it was to the final two.

Let me just throw an idea out that just occurred to me.

You said earlier that you guys have the alliance, maybe the strongest one.

Yeah, you just kind of hopped out of this game well over two hours ago,

Rudy to carry the ball for at least six, seven, 15, 20 hours.

I didn't think it would go this long.

You effectively organized a quit on this one. You know what? I can't do it. I'm

just going to say, Rudy, you owe me, man. I'm going to sit here. I don't even

think he owes me. He gave me his word.

What he does with that, and it's a game. I'm not going to hate the man if he

changes his mind, but, you know. Or if he gets tired in the sun. Right, or if

gets tired in the sun. That's the problem you're in. This really is your

alliance, but now it's out of your hands. It is out of my hands, and I took

chance. You know, and if I'm third, okay.

Does it bother you that he's sitting there and dropped out early? Yeah, I

to be sitting there.

That would force him to stand up. I know. Yeah.

He didn't give you that option.

Yeah, by him jumping off, that changes everything again. Yeah.

Because I would be planning on him to do this. To continue this one? Yeah, and I

knew I couldn't.

Swap.

He did his hand off.

I think that's that. Yeah.

I'm done.

Nice job. Good job. Nice job, Ernie.

Look, Tom.

Oh, good area hug.

There you go.

Five in a row. That's a record.

I knew 100 % the only way that I was going to get to day 38, and now

day 39, was with this little thing around my neck.

The last community challenge was standing there attached

to an idol.

I thought, ugh, no chance in hell of me doing

that. Given who I was up against, I felt I was forcing the game to go on

unnecessarily.

So Rich just gave a little speech and said, I hope you appreciate what I'm

for the both of you and let go, which I thought was kind of funny. Like, he was

tired, his arm hurt, and he wanted to let go, and he was trying to make some

noble sacrifice for me and Rudy. Yeah, whatever.

Even if I'm voted off tonight, I think it's the best decision I could have

You know, it's out of my hands.

So when I went today, it was just like, okay, that's it.

Chill out, relax, breathe, sleep, whatever you got to do.

It was just unbelievable.

Overwhelming sense of relaxation.

And the week.

Dumb. It was a dumb move on my part. I gave away a million bucks. I would have

won a million bucks if I didn't let go of it.

Nobody falls on mine.

I'm nervous.

I'm not nervous about the vote tonight. I'm extremely nervous about tomorrow.

I'm nervous about if and what I'm going to say tomorrow and what impact and

effect that's going to have on the jury.

I'm hoping that there is little likelihood of my being voted off, but

all that confident.

I'm not really sure. I think it's in Kelly's best interest to keep me here.

I don't know that she'll do that.

I'm hoping she will.

Well, I think me and Kelly would fare better. I know some people that would

for me.

I don't know of hardly any that are going to vote for Reed.

He stepped on some toes, and people aren't going to forgive him.

That's hot.

Grab a seat.

We'll bring in our jury.

Well, Kelly, you have a tough decision to make tonight.

Rich and Rudy's votes effectively cancel each other out. Rich can't vote for

himself. He can't vote for you because you have immunity.

Has to vote for Rudy. Same with Rudy. Can't vote for you. Can't vote for

himself. Has to vote for Rich.

So you guys won't vote tonight.

Kelly, you're going to be the only one casting a vote.

The good news is you get to cast the vote.

So let's just look at a few of the factors that come into play. Certainly,

day one, the alliance has been a factor.

Four Pagong members over there voted off one by one because of it. It's probably

a wash, though. It's a toggy alliance. You guys are all toggy.

So it really comes down to relationships.

The friendships you have, the impressions that have been made on other

The bottom line is this. Tonight, you are the queen of the island. You have

earned it. Five challenges in a row. That gives you power.

You can't guarantee that you're going to win a million dollars. You need them

for that.

But you can guarantee one thing, that one of these two guys will not get a

million dollars.

You're going to go up there and you're going to write four letters down. It's

going to be Richard, it's going to be Rudy. In effect, you're saying they're

getting the money.

You ready to do this?

Cast your vote.

You know the drill.

One of you will be leaving tribal council area.

There's one vote.

The 14th person voted off the island.

Rudy, you need to bring me your torch.

I don't know.

In this case, Kelly has spoken.

Time for you to go.

Yeah. Good night.

So here's how it will work tomorrow.

Each member of the jury will get one question.

You guys will get a response, and then you'll get a chance at the end to sort

state your case.

Now the tables are turned. The power is out of your hands.

It's up to them.

Hope you can get a good night's sleep.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Good night.

I never thought I'd come this far, and I got three votes, and I got two votes,

and I got one vote, and then they forgot about me, and I figured I'm right in

the middle of where I want to be now.

Today's the first time I got a vote since a month ago,

and it was the fatal vote.

Only two remain.

Stay tuned to find out who will be the sole survivor.

Woke up, and it was very weird.

Richard said to me, okay, you're not dreaming. It's the last day, and it's

really just us two.

It's nice to chill out.

I think tonight's going to be a big deal, and it's going to be crazy.

I think I'm going to go visit my tree.

Okay. For a little while.

Have fun.

I will.

Say goodbye.

I know. That's what I'm going to do.

This is just where I like to be. This is where I prefer to stretch and chill out

and do my thing.

My last little yoga session here on the beach is something that I've done pretty

much every day since I've been here. It helps me to relax and to quiet my

thoughts. I've had a lot of moral issues.

I regret being part of the Alliance. That didn't make me feel so good.

I regret...

Trust me, being vulnerable to her, that really hurt me in a lot of ways.

It's kind of nice to be one of the last two, and it's nice to have Kelly as the

other member.

I think I'm reflecting a little bit on what's happened for the 39 days. I think

I'm also thinking a little bit about questions that will be asked by the jury

tonight and how to approach some potential questions.

It's an interesting morning, and I intend to stay completely out of the sun

try and do nothing.

It's been really hard mentally.

People trying to...

My brain is just, I can't think about anything really right now.

There's been some moral low points for me in playing this game. I've had some

kind of not -so -proud moments, and that's things that I'm leaving here on

island and with this game and that don't belong in my life.

Turning the flag!

I think it might have been cathartic for Kelly to pack things up, organize, and

burn some of the stuff we just don't need anymore.

Stay out of the fire.

Goodbye,

camp.

Burn.

Burn, camp.

Burn.

What will you miss?

What will I miss the most?

Kind of looking at sunsets or watching the stars or things like that. Those

quiet moments just recognizing where I am in the middle of the South China Sea

on this uninhabited, rainforest, tropical island.

I just want to get through today and get through the firing squad tonight.

I don't think any of these people are vindictive or anything. I think it might

just be really fun.

I'm really grateful I'm here.

I feel lucky to be in the final two. I'm nervous about the decision tonight

because Rich never pretended that he wasn't in it to win, and he never

that he wasn't scheming and conniving and all of that from the beginning. He's

playing the game, and he's never acted like he wasn't, so I do respect that.

Okay.

We turn off the lights and make sure the oven's off and everything.

If I get second place, I will not be sad.

I will be happy that I've earned $100 ,000 and had a great time here and

a game that I'm proud of the way I played it.

But I want the million.

I really want the million. Oh, my God, it would change my life.

The question, does the end justify the means?

Apparently, these two contestants did whatever it took to get to the end.

But, you know, it's not the end of the contest yet, in my opinion, because they

haven't suffered all the ramifications of getting there yet.

Kelly's an all -around nice person.

I think she just did what she had to do to get to the spot of the final two.

She stayed low under the radar. You never really heard too much about Kelly.

when it came down to it, ended up winning.

Five challenges at the end.

I'm really quite impressed with the way she played the game.

I liked Rich all the way through this thing.

He's a good leader, he's smart, and he's the guy that got this alliance going,

which brought the four of us right to the final stage, and that's what we were

really after.

It was interesting to watch Kelly, because I felt like Kelly went through,

identity crises on TV, but not really crises, but, like, various identities on

TV. I'm a hippie, but I'm not a hippie. I'm a double agent, but I'm not lying.

I'm here for the money, but I'm not.

You know, it was interesting to watch her, watch the various identities

This is a really difficult vote because, I mean, Does anybody really think, you

know, go Kelly, she's number one, I'm so happy she made it to the final two, or

God, I'm glad Rich made it there, big winner.

No, I think we just want to end it, you know, let's go home.

I'm actually very happy I got out when I did. Thank God, because I couldn't have

been ruthless.

People would see right through me. I can't even lie.

I can live with myself, and that's the important thing.

Tonight, actually, I'm looking forward to being able to come in because I'm a

hunter. I got both guns loaded all the way, and I'm going to fire them full

blast. And I will walk away on top, holding my values true to myself.

Oh, yeah.

I can't wait to get up there tonight.

We'll bring in our final tribal council jury.

Tonight, these seven former tribe mates will decide your fate.

Here's what's at stake.

One of you will be awarded $100 ,000 for your 39 days here.

The other will be awarded with...

New Pontiac Aztec.

And one million dollars.

Do with whatever you want.

39 days ago, all you guys came here.

Probably only the vaguest idea of what you were getting into.

And I just want to congratulate all of you.

You all made it to the final core of nine.

You endured harsh island living, lack of food.

Very unpredictable weather, sometimes very, very hot, and sometimes very, very

wet. You created a new civilization, and you lived within it. And you all played

the game very well. A game that definitely parallels our own regular

ways that we probably never imagined. Extremely complicated. If we were voting

tonight for the sweetest person, you could make a strong case for Sonia,

or Gretchen. If it was...

The most athletic, maybe Jervis, Joel.

Certainly, if it was the best outdoors person, probably Greg.

We could go around here and find positive attributes for why everybody is

worthy. But the fact remains, Rich and Kelly are the two sitting here. Clearly,

these two played the game the best.

And that's what we came here to do, play this game, Survivor.

So let's begin the final tribal council.

We'll start with opening remarks.

From Rich and Kelly, a chance for you to state your case as to why you're still

sitting here tonight and why you deserve to be the final survivor.

We'll start with you, Kelly.

I'm not a politician.

I didn't come here to campaign for myself.

I think we're all adults here. I think we all know that, you know, this is a

game. And I hope nobody has taken anything personally. I haven't.

or I don't know that I necessarily haven't taken anything personally. I've

not to.

I hope we're not going to be judged on how we chose to play the game.

I'm hoping what we're going to be judged on, or I personally will be judged on,

is the person that I am, the conversations that we had, the time we

together, the things we talked about.

You know, with that game we played the other night, how well did you get to

people?

things like that. I didn't have the conversations I had with you and want to

know the things about you and share my life with you because I thought I was

going to be quizzed on it or because it was part of some strategy.

It was because we were all here together and I cared to know all of you.

I don't know, maybe as Jeff said, if we were voting for the sweetest or the

nicest or things like that, maybe neither of us would be up here. I don't

that the best person is sitting up here.

Hopefully, you know the better person will win Richard I take a little bit of

different approach to it for me It's not about you deciding who the best person

is. I don't think you really know who I am and Probably don't know who Kelly is

my approach to the game was one of strategy from the beginning before I

here I started to think about what it might take to get through 14 ejections.

And it got really complicated.

And I couldn't really plan it as well as I thought.

And it certainly didn't turn out to go according to plan.

But I certainly had a strategy and I came to play a game. And I was playing a

game. There were a lot of sincere interactions.

But no matter how sincere they were, I don't think anybody really knows who we

are in only 39 days.

I think the start of friendships are certainly things that have happened. But

for me, instead of who's the better person, it is about who played the game

better. And I'm hoping you just respect my having approached the game from that

perspective from early, early, early on.

All right, Jerry, now it's your turn.

Take a moment, collect your thoughts.

Then you'll each have an opportunity to address both Rich and Kelly.

All right, jury.

It's your turn now to address Rich and Kelly.

Each of you will be given an opportunity to ask a question or make a comment.

Juris, we'll start with you.

Kelly and Rich, how's it going?

I just wanted to know, is there any one, two or three things you would change

from your 39 days on this island or nothing at all? Rich?

Good question.

Well, I got too comfortable believing that I could trust what was said

and was really surprised to learn that I couldn't at one point and that was...

Something that shocked me. I thought oh damn. I need to stay on my toes even

more because I'd been surprised Kelly the one thing I probably would change is

probably wouldn't have joined an alliance when I did Just because of

the emotional and moral issues that I had and certainly some

votes that I cast strategically for myself, alliance, no alliance. It was

you know, playing the game, and that was hard.

Voting off competition, voting off people I liked, people I enjoyed.

That's about it.

Great. Thanks, Drew.

Jenna.

Kelly, Rich, you guys have a remarkable opportunity tonight, a 50 -50 chance at

getting a million dollars.

Yeah, that's a big deal. So I want to know, if you could take and put two

in your place in lieu of yourself, who would it be and why?

Wild question.

Who would it be and why?

Okay, Rudy would be here because it's a game and because he and I

made an alliance very early and I really appreciated his integrity and loyalty,

even in the midst of this game.

So I would put him here.

because I thought he played very, very well.

Wow, another person I would put here.

I might have to say Greg. He and I didn't get a chance to really get to

each other. I think he's pretty guarded. But we did take a walk, and I was

trying to figure out who he was, and I thought he was certainly my biggest

competition. So I thought he was probably trying to plan something, but I

did get to find out whether he was or not.

If I could pick two people, I would probably pick Sonia and Gretchen.

I really admire those women.

I felt that they were very strong, very smart, and very honest.

Maybe we have kind of a different approach to things, but I really admired

character, and I would like to see them up here.

Thanks, John.

Sean.

Hey, guys. Congratulations on being here.

I don't have any questions.

I spent 36 days with you on that beach, and damn it, there's a lot of things I

want to forget rather than ask you questions about.

I just have a few things to say. Nothing disparaging about both of you.

Kelly, thank you very much for being as capable as you are.

You and Sue single -handedly kept that camp afloat.

And Richard, dear Richard.

Also, likewise, enjoyed your company thoroughly.

You played the game differently than I did and were contentious between us at

times. And you're there and I'm over here, so go figure what I know. But

way, congratulations on being there.

Thank you for teaching me a little bit about myself while I've been here. I

think you've been very honest and constructive in any criticism you've

Your FNF idea, the Fat Naked Fag idea, is extraordinarily funny.

And Fat Naked Fag with a million dollars is even funnier.

So I haven't made up my mind yet, but when I get back there, I'm going to

about it, and we'll see which way it goes.

All right, guys, congratulations.

Colleen.

He was nice.

All right.

Here we go.

No, I'm kidding.

Actually, I have just a question.

For myself and for future players of this game, what three character traits

you think got you where you are and you think are essential and really important

to be where you are at this point?

Kelly, start with you.

I would have to say faith was one, because a week

or however long ago, I was pretty certain that I was out of the game.

I've said before, the only thing that kept me in this game up to this point, I

honestly believe, is that stupid necklace.

But I knew I wanted to get this far, and I think faith really helped me.

Probably a strong will.

There was a lot of ugliness mentally and trying to figure out who you are and,

you know, what you like about yourself and the people around you.

And I don't know, maybe just a tinge of likability, I hope.

Three things I can think of are self -awareness, observation.

Observation? And ethics. You're a game.

The other day was funny you say observation like of observing other

and but then you didn't do so good in the game the other day true It's a

different kind of observation. It's it when I say self -awareness. First of

I think it requires that I Understand myself enough to be comfortable with

playing the game the way I felt I had to play it to do well Then when it comes

to observation it it's about

observing relationships more than it is about learning who people are to become

friends with them. Nothing against becoming friends with people. I'd love

There are many people here I'd love to interact with.

But I wasn't doing that. That wasn't my focus, and that shows, obviously.

I was observing what people were doing, who could be trusted, who was planning

or plotting, who wasn't, who was...

playing the game well, who was trying to play the game, who was having fun. I

wasn't judging what they were doing. I was just trying to observe as carefully

as I could to determine what people were here for and what they were doing.

And then I said ethics because I think I played as ethically as is humanly

possible. I think I played cleanly and I think it's a really important piece

because if you undermine your credibility along the way, you...

stand less of a chance here when you face the people that you'd worked with

get where you are.

Rudy.

I don't have nothing to say to these two. I'd just like to let everybody here

know how dumb I feel after the mistake I made yesterday.

Okay?

Greg. Yeah.

Rich. Greg.

Choose a number between 1 and 10. 7.

Kelly. A number between 1 and 10.

3.

Character is character.

Sue.

I have no questions.

I just have statements.

Rich, you are a very openly arrogant, pompous human being.

But I admire your frankness with it.

You have worked hard to get where you're at, and you started working hard way

before you come to the island.

So with my work ethic background, I give that credit to you.

But on the other hand, your inability to admit your failures without going into

a whiny speech makes you a bit of a loser in life.

Kelly?

The rafting persona queen, you did get stomped on on national TV by a city boy

that never swam, let alone been in the woods or jungle or rode a boat in his

life.

You sucked on that game.

Anyways, I was your friend at the beginning of this, really thinking that

were a true friend.

I was willing to be sitting there and put you next to me. At that time, you

sweeter than me. I'm not a very...

openly nice person.

I'm just frank, forward, and tell you the way it is.

Have you sit there next to me and me lose $900 ,000 just to stomp on somebody

like this.

But as the game went along and the two tribes merged, you lied to me, which

showed me what the true person that you are.

You're very two -faced and manipulative to get where you are at anywhere in

life.

Why you fail all the time.

Interesting.

So at that point of the game, I decided then just to go out with my alliance to

my family and just to hold my dignity and values in check and hoping I hadn't

lost too many of them and play the game just as long as possible and hang in

there as long as possible.

But Kelly, go back to a couple times Jeff said to you, what goes around comes

around.

It's here.

You will not get my vote. My vote will go to Richard.

And I hope that is the one vote that makes you lose the money.

If it's not, so be it.

I'll shake your hand, and I'll go on from here.

But if I ever pass you along in life again, and you are laying there, dying

thirst, I would not give you a drink of water.

I would let the vultures...

take you and do whatever they want with you with no ill regrets.

I plead to the jury tonight to think a little bit about the island that we have

been on.

This island is pretty much full of only two things, snakes and rats.

And in the end of Mother Nature, we have Richard the snake who knowingly went

after prey.

And Kelly, who turned into the rat that ran around like the rats do on this

island, trying to run from the snake.

I feel we owe it to the island spirits that we have learned to come to know to

let it be in the end the way Mother Nature intended it to be, for the snake

eat the rat.

Okay, Rich and Kelly, I'll now offer you an opportunity for closing remarks if

you have something different to offer from your opening remarks based on what

you've heard from the jury.

Kelly, I'll start with you.

Sue,

I'm sorry you feel that way.

To the rest of you, I could sit up here and probably turn the tables on Sue and

tell you.

the many number of lies and backstabbing things that she has done to myself and

this person sitting next to me. I don't think anybody in this game is without

faults or errors or unproud moments of themselves.

So I know how she stands on things. So to the rest of you, I hope you vote how

you feel, not because of what...

Sue said, or the things that happened between she and I, because that was

between she and I. That doesn't involve anybody else.

So it's in your hands.

Rich?

I imagine it's probably a pretty difficult decision for some people, and

want to say that I appreciate your making it. I wouldn't change anything

did, and I hope you respect that that was what I felt I needed to do to play

game.

Thanks. Okay, a little reminder of what's at stake.

One of these people will be awarded $100 ,000.

The other person, something very different.

New Pontiac Aztec and a treasure chest full of $1 million.

Normally, at Tribal Council, we vote against someone. We vote somebody off

island. We've done it 14 times.

Tonight, you will vote.

for someone. You will vote for who you think is most worthy, the winner, the

person who played this game the best. However you want to define it, you are

casting a vote for who's going to leave here with the money and the title of

survivor.

Jervis, we'll start with you.

My vote is for Kelly because I feel Kelly played this game better than

else. She came into this thing. She formed her alliance, played both sides

the fence, did her lion thing.

But you know what? When it comes down to it, it's all good.

That's what this game is about.

And she did it better than anybody else. She stayed low under the radar and just

did her thing.

And I think she really deserves this more than anybody else here.

Sue's comments, that's what in my town we call a sore loser.

Because when Sue was doing the backstabbing, the lying, and throwing

everywhere, she was happy. If she was sitting in Kelly's spot right now, she

wouldn't be thinking about nothing but this million dollars and that's it. So

that just goes to show you how trife she is.

I mean, it disgusts me what she just did.

It was so foul.

You know, Sue put knives in my back.

Sue, she talks about a rat and a snake.

Well, Sue formed an alliance, so that's her little snake part.

And then she did the rat part where she lied to Colleen in her face when Colleen

asked her who she voted for.

So, I mean, that just goes to show you how people play this game when it comes

down to it.

If it's saving their butt, they'll do anything to save their butt.

When they're out of the game, they cry about it. They bellyache about it the

whole stinking time. And it makes me sick.

So, Kelly, I hope you win it. And after you win it, you can stuff it in Sue's

face.

I am choosing Kelly.

I think Kelly displayed a lot of the aspects that I think are a survivor.

She befriended me, and whether that was part of a friendship or strategy, it was

all a part of the game.

She played it well.

She proved that by sitting up there.

She endured not only the physical, but the emotional, especially after the last

speech. I felt for her.

I think she is a good person. I think if she lied and she manipulated it, it was

in the spirit of the game. But as far as Kelly, I still get the vibe that she's

a great person, and she certainly did survive along with the rest of us, and

made it very clear in the last five challenges that she could do this.

And she endured the rain and the hunger as well, if not better than the rest of

us. So I think she is a survivor, and I think she deserves the title and the

million dollars.

Okay, guys, it's been a long time coming, been a long contest.

The general sentiment in the jury box is that this contest has degenerated from

a contest of who's the most deserving into a contest of who's least

objectionable. I feel that way very strongly.

You both conducted yourselves in different manners than me, the way I

wanted to, and you put the whole jury in a real difficult position.

I don't think either of you truly deserve it.

But I am voting for Rich because Kelly was clearly more deceptive, more

manipulative, more double -faced than Richard, who was just an out -and -out

scoundrel. But I like him in some bizarre manner, and I think that his fat

fag idea is fantastic, and fat naked fag with a million dollars is just

hilarious.

This is awful, really.

This whole, you know what, I mean, take it and do what you want with it. I don't

care.

What got me tonight, I'm changing my vote. I came here voting for the other

person. What got me tonight was that you said will is required in this game and

it's something you had.

And even though you were kind of wishy -washy and stuff.

You know, you wanted it really, really bad.

And Rich doesn't need it.

So buy a raft and start an adventure tour company and do something

good with it.

Maybe this will make you be nice or something.

Okay, that's all.

as i stated rich i admire your strong worth ethic you

started a long time ago to get here and you're honest about why you're here

so you can have it

We had an alliance to the end and I'm fulfilling my obligation.

Okay, breathe.

Well, this has been an amazing experience.

I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I'll go tally the votes.

16 of you were brave enough to be marooned here in Borneo.

There will be one survivor.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Rich.

Rich.

Kelly.

Rich.

Kelly.

That's three votes Rich, three votes Kelly. We need water and oxygen.

The winner of the first survivor competition is

Rich.

Congratulations, Rich.

Congratulations.

Let's play. Kelly, congratulations.

Stay tuned to hear the final words from the sole survivor.

Wow. I've won.

It's an amazing place to be.

A heck of an opportunity. I'm not exactly certain what I'm going to be

with the million dollars.

I hope to make the lives of my family and friends and those I care about

happier.

I hope to remain who I am. I'm pretty certain I'll be able to do that.

It's a wonderful feeling, and I'm really looking forward to getting home. When I

get home, then I can really think about what I'm going to use the money for and

plan and act on that.

I want a car that's just super, just a nice... nice thing to

have had happen.

The million dollars is a heck of an opportunity that I hope I don't waste.
