Original subtitles

36 days ago, in ultra -modern Shanghai, 16 Americans began the adventure of a

lifetime.

They were transported back in time to a remote region on the shore of the Lake

of a Thousand Islands.

They were divided into two tribes. Yellow tribe, your name is John Hu.

Red tribe, your name is Fei Long.

The Feilong tribe quickly established themselves as hardworking and strategic.

We need a commander. I think I can do it. And on day one, an important

was formed between Todd and Amanda.

I will stick with you.

You're my loyal alliance. Okay.

The John Hoo tribe was hopelessly disorganized. And when they weren't

off... They argued.

Their lack of cohesiveness seemed to affect their performance in the

challenge.

After losing the first immunity challenge, John Hu sent chicken home.

On day four at the first reward challenge, a new twist was revealed.

Faye Long, because you defeated John Who, you now get to kidnap one member of

their tribe. The kidnapped person was given a clue to the location of a hidden

immunity idol.

Give us a clue to a member of the tribe before you rejoin your own tribe. Back

at Faye Long, Leslie got the first clue, and she shared it with Todd.

I can't believe she told me. I'm in shock.

I would never tell anybody.

At John Who, the problems continued.

It looks like a natural disaster hit our camp.

John Hu falling behind.

Fei Long is through. And they lost yet again. Fei Long wins immunity.

So Ashley was sent home.

By day nine, Leslie and Todd still hadn't found the idol.

And when John Hu finally won an immunity challenge, Fei Long made their first

visit to tribal council.

Third person voted out of Survivor China.

And Leslie was sent home.

Todd and James both launched and both connect.

At the next immunity challenge, Feilong regained their dominance.

Feilong wins immunity!

And John Hu sent Dave home.

On day 13, the game dramatically changed.

Someone's coming in.

Something's going on. The tribe swapped their two best players.

Ah, the humanity.

James and Aaron went to John Hu, and Frosty and Sharia went to Feilong.

Thinking of the future and a possible merge, the John Who women came up with a

plan to weaken Fei Long.

If we throw these things to him, not only have we gotten rid of the two

threats for individual immunity, we will be going into a merge with the five

women on John Who.

PG and Jamie threw the immunity challenge.

Fei Long wins immunity!

And voted off Aaron. They planned to throw the next challenge and vote off

James. But Todd came up with a counter plan.

If we win rural today, we are bringing over either Aaron or James, whoever's

left, because they're going to give us a clue as to where that hidden immunity

idol is. Bring him back, baby.

Come back, James. Come on, James. Come on home. They long kidnapped James, and

Todd got his clue to the hidden immunity idol.

Todd found the idol and gave it to James so he could save himself with the next

John Who tribal council.

James loses immunity. They vote for him, but he uses the idol to get rid of

Jamie. Having rejoined the John Who tribe, James was ready to throw the food

-eating immunity challenge.

But when he went up against Denise, she unexpectedly gave up.

John Who wins immunity.

Perfect plan, mashed.

In only their second trip to tribal council, Faye Long voted out the former

Who member, Sharia.

Trump's spoken.

At John Who, James found the second hidden immunity idol, making him

invincible. That's funny.

I'm most proud we're two idols.

On day 20, drop your buff. You're merged.

Oh, my God.

With a six to four advantage, the former members of Feilong made a pact to vote

out the former John Who. We have every vote from here on out. I know.

We just have to keep loyal. We can't let Jamie and PG and Eric break us up.

I don't want any dissensions amongst us until we get to the final six, until all

of them are gone.

The first target after the merge was Jamie. The tribe has spoken.

The former Faye Long seemed intact.

Jean Robert then decided to go against the plan and tried to oust one of his

own, his former ally, James.

We could blindside him tonight, because he will not pull out the idol tonight.

But instead, Todd convinced the Alliance to send Jean Robert home.

Jean Robert, Chavez spoken.

Frosty went next, and with seven remaining, the Baylong Alliance of five

impenetrable.

Then, Amanda tried to take over the game.

We get rid of James tonight. Let's just get this over with, because I'm tired of

not being in control. I like control.

And she easily convinced...

everyone else to get on board. I will do what everybody feels comfortable doing.

Confident in his alliance.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol, now would be the time to play it. James

chose not to play one of his idols.

James. And he was voted out by the people he trusted.

The tribe has spoken.

To PG and Eric's surprise, they were still in the game.

If I can get one or maybe even two more people, we could possibly cause a tie at

tribal council.

The former John Who tried to make a play to split the alliance of four by

targeting Todd.

I guess I don't think I have anything to be worried about being it.

But their plan failed. Eric, did bring me a torch. And Eric and PG found

themselves on the jury.

Now four are left.

Courtney, the waitress.

I went in calling myself the absolute biggest long shot.

And I still think I'm the longest shot to win it, but the fact that I've made

this far is insane.

Denise, the lunch lady.

I can overcome anything. I can survive anything. And, you know, this is a life

-changing experience for me.

Amanda, the beauty queen.

Everyone thinks that I've been a quiet player. Well, I've been quiet because

it's been part of my strategy.

And Todd, the flight attendant.

I wasn't the strongest. I wasn't the smartest. But I was definitely the most

strategic. All four have stayed loyal to each other from the beginning.

But who will be the first to turn on the others?

Find out tonight as they compete to stay in the game.

And one will outlap all the rest and become the sole survivor.

Guys, we actually did it. We are in the final four.

Is this a plan coming to motion or what?

Final four.

How fantastic is that?

Unbelievable.

Yeah.

I'm like in shock.

I thought I would be out in 16th place.

Here I am, guaranteed at least one in four of winning.

We are final four on Survivor, frickin' China.

A pack of four bitches.

Oh, my God.

I love us.

I've always sort of slipped through the cracks to get to the top, so hopefully I

can continue to slip through. The four of us were, like, you know, the bottom

the torn pole from the beginning.

Exactly. The immunity challenge that we have left, we'll have to see what it is.

If it's something that I can pull off, then, I mean, that would be a great way

to go to the final three.

With, you know, the immunity necklace.

I can't believe.

Day 34 wrong.

Yeah, no kidding.

Unbelievable.

I just want to be happy for one day while I'm here. Right.

We definitely needed food right now, so any kind of food and fuel at this point

would help me out immensely, and just to get us through those final couple days.

How comfortable can you be on a bamboo bed?

Now it's the final floor, and someone else is going to go home, and now it's

going to be a tough fight.

Proving myself a lot. I mean, what I've learned about myself, I mean, I can

overcome anything, and, you know, this is a life -changing experience for me.

Hey, male.

What does it say?

A reward challenge or an immunity?

I don't know.

One last chance to win some fuel, great food and drinks and treats, put Locke

back into our great wall for another chance to eat.

I'd better eat some beer.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to cry.

I've kind of been in a funk the past couple days because I've had no food.

reward is going to be probably the most important reward of the game so far,

just because you know you have immunity coming up. You need energy. It has to be

done. Be good.

Food, man.

Good morning, guys.

You guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?

Yeah. For today's reward challenge, you must tackle our version of the Great

Wall of China.

On my go, you'll start at the top of the wall, climb down a ladder, and cross a

bridge.

You'll come to another bridge where you must use planks to finish building the

bridge before you cross it.

At the end of the course, you'll find a traditional Chinese yoke and a stack of

puzzle blocks.

You'll use the yoke to transport the blocks back to the top of the wall.

Once you have all your blocks at the top of the wall, you can start solving the

puzzle by filling in your section of the wall.

First person to finish wins the reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

Yeah. You're playing for comfort and advantage.

Comfort in the form of the kind of food your taste buds have been craving for

30 years. Seven days.

I'm going to cry.

Pizza.

Beer.

Soft drinks.

Brownies. I want the brownie real bad. You get the emotional comfort, the kind

of food that will make you feel better.

The advantage comes in the calories you will put into your body heading into the

next immunity challenge.

This is a serving.

And I don't have to tell you, food and strength are critical as you get closer

to that million dollars.

I know it's worth playing for. We'll get started.

Head over to the wall.

Here we go. Four rewards.

Survivors ready.

Go.

Ha, take the big jump.

Not wasting any time.

First stage, you have to finish building the bridge before you can cross it. It

only goes together one way.

Everybody working quickly.

Todd with another piece.

Amanda working from the front back.

Courtney with another piece.

Todd and Amanda both getting very close.

Denise struggling.

Amanda down to her last two pieces.

Todd down to his last two pieces.

Todd has the bridge completed.

Amanda has the bridge completed.

Todd and Amanda making quick work of this.

Todd with his first bundle of puzzle blocks. He's heading over the bridges.

Amanda right behind.

Courtney and Denise still trying to finish that bridge.

Todd through the wall.

Courtney not quitting.

It is Todd and Amanda right now. Denise and Courtney quickly falling out of it.

Pizza.

Beer.

Brownies. Soft drinks.

Todd heading back with the rest of his puzzle block.

Courtney has her bridge finished.

Denise the only one left working on the bridge.

Todd is back. He has all 12 of his blocks start working on the puzzle.

You are looking for the gray on the top and the sides.

If you see color, it is not right.

Amanda back with the rest of her puzzle blocks.

Courtney heading back with her first stack of puzzle blocks.

Denise still trying to solve the bridge.

You have 12 pieces.

They only go together one way.

Todd working on his puzzle.

Courtney back with her first stack of puzzle blocks.

Got to dump them and head back out.

The top and the front should be gray.

Just like the color of the wall.

Courtney heading back down as Denise finally finishes her bridge.

She's back in it.

Todd and Amanda with a huge lead right now.

This is not an easy puzzle to solve.

Courtney heading back with... Denise heading back with her first bundle of

puzzle blocks.

Take your time.

Courtney has all of her puzzle blocks. Start working on the puzzle.

Denise back with her first stack of puzzle blocks.

Dump them and go.

Denise heading back out. You're still in it.

Todd making progress.

It's a difficult puzzle.

Courtney close, but is she close enough to solve it?

We're just close enough to be wrong.

Denise back with the rest of her puzzle block. She's now starting to work on the

puzzle.

Cobb getting close.

Amanda thinks she may be on to something.

Amanda, win the reward.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe I did that.

Good job, Amanda.

Oh, my God.

All right, Amanda, come on over.

Thank you, guys.

You guys did really good, too.

Nice job. Pizza, beer, soft drink, brownie.

With every reward comes a dilemma.

Here's yours.

This is a serving for one.

You can keep it that way and make sure you're the one that gets all the

emotional comfort and all the calories heading into the next community

challenge. Or you can invite one or two people to join

you. Whatever decision you make will have an impact on somebody.

Oh, God.

I hate this.

What's going through your head? Is there a part of you thinking it'd be cleaner

to just keep this for myself?

Well, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so I feel like if I eat alone,

then, you know, they're all uneven ground, and I'm not, like, choosing one

another.

But then it's hard because Denise has chose me for a reward before, and, you

know, I love Todd and Courtney, so I'm, like, torn.

Take a minute.

Oh, God.

Day 37.

Final four, million -dollar prize at the end.

How will this decision factor into the finish?

I'm sorry, you guys.

Todd, I'm going to have Todd stay with me.

Todd, come on over.

Stick him with one person. Yeah.

Denise, Courtney, got nothing for you. Grab your stuff, head back to camp.

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well, I thought this would give us, like, a good opportunity to talk since

haven't. Since we don't get to talk. The reward today was pizza, and I could

take along one or two people.

I definitely wanted to take Todd because I wanted to see where his head was at

because I don't trust Todd at all. Like, I honestly think if he would have won

today, he wouldn't have picked me to eat. I think he would have picked

or Denise.

Dig in, girl. Oh, my God.

I can't tell you how happy I am that you picked me. Thank you.

That was like the hardest decision I've ever had to make.

Amanda, you needed that so bad. I know.

I'm glad we got the chance to talk, though, because there are some things

happen that I don't understand.

And it makes me like, honestly, I don't trust you that much, like from what I've

heard. What?

Yeah.

And I don't know, it just makes you wonder because you hear all this stuff

then I'm like, I just have this feeling that if anyone was to backstab me right

now, you would.

That makes me feel kind of sad you don't trust me like that. But I can tell by

the way you've been looking at me that you've been like antsy about me.

But there's one girl in this game that I've been honest to literally since day

one. And I've been honest to you too.

I'm just glad we get to clear the air now. Right.

Because you get voted out and you're like, oh my God, like, you know what I

mean?

Amanda Plata let me know that the past couple of days she hasn't been trusting

me, which hurt my feelings because I really have been in my head knowing that

I'm going to stay true to Amanda.

Honestly, I swear on my mama's life, if it was the final two, it's me and you

because that's my deal.

I'm not very cool with losing to Denise, and I'm not very cool with losing to

Courtney. You don't have to press me, but, like, that's the honest 100 % truth

from Todd.

I swear on my life, I'm in this to the end with you.

I hope that she can trust me.

I really, really hope so, because I need her right now.

I'm going to lay here and be stinky for a little while, and then I might jump

in. I'm going to jump in, and then I'm going to come back and lay here and be

stinky. It hurt my feelings a little that Amanda didn't take me.

Pizza and beer would have been great today. I would have enjoyed it. We

been eating too much around here.

So anytime that you get to eat something and get stronger for the next challenge

is very important.

When I was a kid, I wasn't the popular kid. I was always on the outside.

And a lot of times during this game, I wasn't picked. I was picked last, or I

was picked second to last, or I wasn't picked at all.

But having an alliance, being in a group of four people, I'm safe.

But now, it's four people, one's going home.

You know, there is going to be somebody left out.

It's so humid and hot out here.

Yeah, I've sort of embraced it.

I'm just going to be in a sweat bath for the rest of the day.

I thought Todd and you were pretty tight. It looks like Todd and Amanda are

pretty tight.

We'll have to see what happens.

Todd.

You know, a lot's going through my head right now. It's kind of a mix of, well,

can I trust my girls that I've been trusting for so long, or are they going

turn on me?

But I have no choice but to just hope.

You know, I can talk all I want, but other than that, I have to just hope.

Hi, guys.

What's up?

Was it worth the wait to have you back?

It was good.

It's like 900 ,000 degrees, too.

Exactly.

I love all three of you girls so much.

So no matter whose name I have to write down tomorrow, I have to write down one

of the three of your names.

And bottom line, it hurts.

You know, I just don't want to go home yet.

I don't know. I really am afraid that it's going to go all girl power on me

tomorrow, and I'll probably be the one that's gone.

But, I mean, I'm going to fight to win just like everybody else is going to

fight to win.

Who do you think has the best chance right now of winning the jury?

Amanda or Courtney.

So, I mean, there you go. I mean, there's two people to get rid of that at

have a chance of getting more votes than either one of us.

Believe me, I've thought about it.

Todd and Denise were laying in the shelter, and I heard them talking, and I

heard my name.

So I just kind of sat there and listened to them talk.

I'm bugged by the fact that I've built relationships with all of you guys, and

hope it doesn't ruin whoever's name I have to write down.

Todd, I think, is a slippery little sucker and always has been. He does hold

lot of the cards, and he always manages to weasel his way into something.

So whether it's half of a pizza or a seat in the top three, like, you can

on Todd. He will not look out for you.

He does not care. He is looking out for himself.

Todd and Denise were like talking in the shelter.

They were like talking about Final Four or whatever. So I don't know if Todd is

like just paranoid at this point, but he's like just talking different

stories to each one of us. That's why I had Todd go, just because I wanted him

to still feel like he could trust me, you know? Well, Todd was like telling

No, I want you, me and Courtney, like, you can trust me.

I'm in this. And I told him, point blank, Todd, I don't trust you. Give me

reason why me and Courtney should trust you right now. Because, honestly, I

don't. And I told him, point blank, I didn't.

Then he's like, Amanda, if it's the final two, then let's get rid of

And I'm like, you're telling everyone the same story.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

What's up?

Nada.

Nada banana.

I know I'm feeling paranoia to be left alone.

I see people gather off on their own, and that bugs me.

I just want to, like... I don't know.

Like, are we cool if one of the three of us wins? She's going?

Yeah.

I'm hoping.

that Courtney and Amanda are still on the same wavelength as me so that Denise

can be the next on the chopping block instead of them going all girl power on

and voting me out.

So paranoia on my side is quite high, and I hate being paranoid. I hate it.

I don't know. I think we'd be probably the most fantastic final three in the

entire world.

Hey, girlies.

Let's see how long they're going to wait.

Oh, I see.

Okay. You guys ready?

Yeah. Okay.

Congratulations, final four.

You have done what 12 of your fellow tribesmen and women could not.

Today, you will honor their memories before proceeding to your final immunity

challenge.

Get into your boat and paddle across the lake to the giant statues of Guan Yin,

the Chinese goddess of compassion and mercy.

There you will find the torches of your fallen comrades.

As you pass them, light the firecrackers in celebration of their time here in

China, remembering them as each had a part in getting you this far.

You will then proceed to your final immunity challenge.

Every single person that's been voted off has helped me to get here.

I am grateful for them. I absolutely think that they've all done a huge part

me getting to the end.

It's so bittersweet. Like, you're so sad to be leaving people that you really

like, but there were 16 of us, and one of us is going to be the winner.

All right, you guys ready?

All right, yeah.

All right, here we go.

Chicken. With a name like chicken, how can you not be cool?

Going into the game, I was going to be myself.

I never thought about being the first one to vote at all, so it was tough.

I couldn't relate to the people.

You know, I tried.

I'm out of their generation, big time.

I really, really wish that we had more of a chance to get to know each other

because I bet we would have been good friends.

I'm a professional wrestler.

I've done all kinds of stuff where I'd stick it out.

But I wasn't expecting this, to tell you the truth.

Having had this experience, I got to do some stuff that I've never imagined I

would be doing. Just like being huddled up underneath our little walkway in like

a...

monsoons, thunderstorms, things like that. Like, if there's crazy stories,

probably tell my grandchildren.

That's some stuff I'll take home from being here.

So, luckily, we were probably the most unlikely friends.

But I hope I made you proud.

Survivor is a hard game.

It's a game that changes you spiritually, emotionally, mentally,

physically. I mean, it changes every aspect of you, and definitely for the

better. And I can tell you, as miserable as I was for nine days, I would do it

again in a heartbeat.

Crazy game.

I mean, what can you say? The guy's fun.

My strategy going into the game was to be indispensable around camp and to be

highly likable. I was really passionate about helping people, and it was

potentially my downfall.

Aaron. I miss Aaron. I love Aaron.

He's so fun.

The hardest part of the game for me was trying to wear too many hats, trying to

please too many people.

But playing the game of Survivor is a lot like surfing in that, you know, put

yourself in an element that you're not really used to.

I've gone over plenty of the falls, and I take my share of wipeout.

But you always keep going back for more, and then the next day the challenge

comes, and you're the one who wins it for your tribe, and you're on that high,

and you're like, this is the reason I signed up for it.

Sharia, I miss you a lot, and you are one of my good friends.

Survivor gave me a great sense of adventure in myself.

I was totally out of my element and didn't think I really could do it, and I

did. Now I know that I'm way stronger than I even thought I was.

Oh, Jamie, love.

Having me around camp was like always having your favorite piece of bubble gum

in your mouth.

Funtastic.

I had a good time out there. Believe it or not, I would do it again in a

heartbeat. I'm pretty loud, I'm pretty boisterous, and I pretty much let people

know what's going on in my head.

I think I was blessed that I had Eric as a friend out there, which you don't

usually feel on Survivor. A lot of people didn't understand where I was

from, but Eric understood everything.

I definitely see him as a friend even after the game.

I think he's going to be the player most changed after this.

Let us all hope that he is the most changed after this.

I started out kind of rubbing people the wrong way and annoying them, but that's

part of who I am. It's not all of who I am.

I'm very well aware of feelings that are going on around me.

Did I come out a better person, a stronger person?

I'd like to think so. Perhaps I will be a better poker player in the long run

because of this.

You're my munchkin, and I absolutely adore you, and I hope that you'll

me and we can still be friends.

My survivor experience was unforgettable.

I know that I'm changed because of it. I think for somebody as young as myself,

this is a really big step for me, and it's really helped me on my own path in

life.

He's a terrific athlete. He's a great guy.

Under that big rough exterior was a great big giant teddy bear.

The hardest part for me was dealing with all the personalities.

I'm kind of not the most talkative guy of the group. I mean, just dealing with

all those different personalities, it was odd for me. But I know now that I

handle other people.

Oh, Derek, he's such a nice person.

He's like a genuinely kind individual.

The game of Survivor, it's definitely been one of the hardest things I've ever

done. But it was so much fun.

I wouldn't trade any of it.

I'm not a risk taker in life.

I'm cautious in relationships.

I like to think that I'm changed. Real relationships, real bonds are what I

to continue to maintain.

I have a lot of admiration for PG being of a Chinese stature like myself, and

she was sometimes the fighter anyone ever thought.

Being Chinese and coming into China, I mean, I got strength from Mother China.

I overcame huge odds, and I managed to fight my way through to Final Five,

I did myself proud here in China.

Come on in, guys.

You guys ready to get to your final

immunity challenge?

Yeah. For one of you, this will guarantee a spot in the final tribal

and a shot at the million dollars.

You guys ready to get to your final immunity challenge?

First things first, Amanda, take back the immunity necklace.

The last time, immunity is back up for grabs.

Today's challenge will test your ability to eliminate all distractions and focus

solely on the task at hand.

For today's challenge, you must balance porcelain dishes on the end of a long,

wobbly balancing arm.

The more dishes you stack and the longer you hold them, the more difficult it

will become to keep them stable. When you can no longer hold your dishes

They'll fall off, you're out of the challenge.

Last person left standing wins immunity, is guaranteed a spot in the final

tribal council, and a shot at the million dollars.

Each station has been adjusted for your height.

Let's get started.

First dish you're putting on is the large plate.

Give you a chance to get used to this arm, how it works.

Next item you're going to place on is the large bowl.

Everybody put it on.

Three, two, one.

Set it down.

Next dish you're putting on is the small plate.

Three, two, one.

Next dish will be the rice bowl.

That is the large round bowl to your left. Everybody grab it.

All right, three, two, one, set it on.

Now it's going to get interesting.

Very, very hot day.

No breeze.

Todd's starting to wobble just a little bit.

The next dish you're going to place on is the small bowl, not the big bowl and

not the soy sauce.

Here we go. Three.

Two, one, place it.

Todd's still shaking a bit.

This is an opportunity to guarantee that you have a shot at the million dollars.

All right, the next dish you're going to place is another small bowl.

Same item you just placed last time.

We're going to put a second small bowl on. Three, two, one, set it in.

Everybody's still doing very well.

You have nothing to do but dig deep.

Todd cannot hang on.

Todd's the first person out of the challenge.

Todd, have a seat on the bench.

Time to place another item.

This time you're going to add the rice bowl.

Here we go.

Three, two, one, place it.

Amanda makes a strategic move.

It goes the other direction.

Courtney's starting to wobble.

And a very cool collected.

This is it.

There are no other challenges, no other big tasks that you have to do.

Stay focused.

Courtney fighting through a lot of pain.

Keep fighting, Courtney. You were this close to a shot at a million bucks.

Courtney's the second person out of the challenge.

We are now down to two.

Either Amanda or Denise is going to win this challenge and be guaranteed a spot

at the final tribal council.

guaranteed a chance to plead your case to the jury.

All right, Amanda, what do you think?

What do you mean?

Make a deal?

You don't want to give up either way, do you?

Come on. Come on, I won't write your name down. You don't write my name down.

No, I'm not giving up, Denise.

Be careful of losing your concentration.

It does not take much for those dishes to fall.

Time to place another item.

I'm going to place another rice bowl.

Sure, Amanda.

Yep. Come on, let's battle this out, Denise. Amanda and Denise both put the

rice bowl in different positions.

Amanda's going to stay with hers.

Denise is going to stay with hers.

Amanda not interested in a deal.

Denise loses concentration.

Amanda wins the final immunity challenge.

Amanda is going to the final tribal council.

Amanda,

come on over.

There was ever a time to have this.

Now is the time.

With this around your neck, you are guaranteed a spot at the final Tribal

Council and a chance to plead your case for a million bucks.

Denise, Todd, Courtney, Tribal Council tonight, one of you will be voted out

will become the final member of our jury.

If there was ever a time to pull out all the stops, to try to make a deal, to

make something happen, this is it.

Head on back to camp. See you at Tribal.

I'm so excited that I'm for sure in the final three. I have nothing to worry

about tonight, but I'm afraid whoever gets voted out tonight is going to think

that it was because of me, because I'm the free vote tonight.

So it's such a good thing, and then it can be such a bad thing.

I feel really, really nervous right now. You know, a lot of these kids are so

much younger than I am. I'm kind of the old lady around here. So, I mean, I do

feel a little on the outside, but I might be able to sway Amanda.

You're going to deal with everybody else?

Well, the only thing is, like, I haven't decided yet who I'm moving for.

I do.

I mean, you put up a really good fight today.

I really admire you. I respect your determination.

I like how you don't give up.

I mean, everybody's going to have things that they can still do.

You know what I mean? But this is all I got right now.

I don't know if I have much after this.

That's the only thing.

So I was going to have a career in L .A. You're going to do your fashion line.

That's all I got. I got to go back to my family, you know?

I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. I'm just saying, you know, that I'm

to go back and make you $7 an hour. I'll throw some extra lunch for you.

Do the same thing day after day like I've been doing.

Yeah. Yeah.

You know.

I respect what you said, you know, and I understand.

I think Denise has played a great game, and I think she's been one of the most

honest players here.

So it's hard because I want to keep her around.

But I don't because it's more competition to me in the end.

I just need a little time to think about it. This could be like my million

-dollar decision tonight.

Someone's going to get a million dollars, two people aren't.

So do you give them that chance because they deserve it, or do you pick someone

that you feel you have a better chance against?

I'm voting for Denise tonight.

You want to?

Okay. The three of us at the end?

All right? Yeah. It's like we wanted.

Yeah.

You guys can tell her whatever you want to tell her.

I can tell her the truth. I don't know.

I mean,

it's okay. I don't want to do that because... You don't want to get a bad

from her. No.

Then just do whatever you need to do.

Yeah.

I'm just going to tell her that I don't know what I'm going to do yet. But I'm

telling you, that's how I'm voting.

Amanda holds all the cards right now.

She can vote with Denise right now and make it a tie.

So right now my one goal is to get rid of Denise.

And I'm hoping that Courtney and Amanda are still on the same wavelength as me.

And I hope I'm here on day 39 still.

I just, I think maybe now they're making peace, or Denise maybe is, like, trying

to convince her. I don't know.

I think right now all we can do is hope and trust the man.

I'd be proud to lose Denise.

I mean, obviously I want to win, but if I have to lose to somebody, I don't want

to lose to them.

Are you kidding me?

This isn't, like, welfare.

You know? Like, she doesn't deserve it just because, you know, she sucks at

life.

I'm the biggest bitch on this planet.

Who are you voting for?

Well, it all depends on what's going on. I mean, I would vote for Todd if I

could. I'll just tell you the position I'm in right now, just so you're fully

aware. Me and Todd had an alliance on day one.

Yeah, I understand that. You know what I'm saying?

So I'm really at a crossroads, Denise, because, like, do I backstab somebody

that I've had an alliance with since the beginning? You know what I'm saying?

But this kills me because I would rather have you sitting next to me in final

three than Todd.

I haven't even trusted him this whole time. Well,

would you consider?

Both of us voting for Todd and having it be a tie?

I have to think about it more.

But I will guarantee you I will not vote for you tonight.

Okay. But I cannot guarantee what they will vote.

At this point in time, anything's possible. Anybody could be lying. I

hard for me to tell who lies, who doesn't.

Amanda said she had my back, so I kind of believe her that she said she

write my name down. But on the other hand, you never can tell.

Anything's possible. Anything can happen, and she might.

You know, I really like you, Amanda. I really think you're going to do the

thing.

Well, I mean, when you told me that you had my back, I really thought you meant

it, too.

I did.

Well, now is when I need you to prove it.

I know we, like, have this in the top, you know, but everyone likes Todd.

I know. But he's gonna cry.

But Denise has no connection with anyone on there.

He's a swimmer.

But everyone likes him.

He's connected with people. Like, I haven't connected with people yet. You

Todd, he can sugarcoat things so well.

Because I think Todd's gonna say that I'm the smallest guy here and I'm the

guy left card.

So, just...

Right now in the game, my biggest threat is probably Todd.

Todd has made a lot of personal connections with a lot of people on the

The jury is a younger jury, so I think he's my biggest threat right now.

I'm at an awful crossroads.

I've been going back and forth in my head.

Denise, Todd, Denise, Todd.

And they both have their cons. They both have their pros.

I'm still undecided. I don't know what I'm going to choose.

Now bringing the members of our jury.

Jamie, John Ribeiro, Frosty, Jane, Eric, and PG

voted out the last tribal council.

So let's establish something right off the bat. Amanda, is there any chance

you're going to give up individual immunity tonight?

No way. Okay, so we know Amanda is not going to be voted out. It's going to be

Denise, Todd, or Courtney.

Todd, the four of you have been together from the beginning.

So what are you going to base your vote on tonight?

You know, tonight's vote is probably the hardest vote because, like, we have

been together since day one.

And it is coming down to who you want to pit yourself up against in the end.

Denise, is it fair to say, I want to get rid of the biggest threat in this game?

Or does the biggest threat deserve a shot?

Well, Jeff... I'm going to base my vote on how I feel right now because, like I

said, I'm always on the bottom of the totem pole. There are still people that

are in alliances, and it's still hard to break in even though you are in.

So, I mean, I have to do what I've got to do tonight because I'm on the

Courtney, do you feel that Denise is on the outside? Is that a known fact?

I think that...

Everyone's on the outside of some group. I mean, I've spent the first half of

this game feeling that I was completely on the outside of everything.

And a lot of times that's an insecurity problem more than a reality.

It's not necessarily true or false. It's all perception.

Todd, how important at this point is perception?

You could feel you're on the outside. You could feel you're on the inside.

You really don't know until the votes are cast.

Absolutely. I mean, the only one here tonight that should feel fine is Amanda

because she has that necklace on.

And like you said, until those votes are read, I'm going to be sitting here

playing with my fingers, shaking my foot.

So, Todd, as we sit here right now, you're still not sure if you're safe or

No, I really am not sure. I want to think I am and hope I am.

But I've seen a lot happen on this side of the game.

People thought they were sure and they're not.

Courtney, how certain are you that you'll be okay, you're going to be in

final? I don't think any one of the three of us are sure about it. I mean,

you've got to be pretty stupid to think you're safe at this point.

Denise, why does it make sense to keep you tonight?

Well, I don't know why they shouldn't vote me out.

They think because I have kids, I'll have a better influence on the jury and

be sympathetic to the jury. So they don't want to keep me here because they

think that that might weigh on the jury's minds.

Courtney, why from a strategy point of view would it make sense to actually

you tonight?

You know, everyone's not going to be excited for me that I somehow managed to

pull through.

Like, you know, people are going to be voting on if you're strategic from the

beginning, if you're a fan of the game, if you worked hard on all the

challenges. You know, there's definitely areas where I'm going to come up a lot

shorter than the other people here.

Oh, and then there's my winning personality. I'm sure I've ruffled a few

feathers along the way.

Amanda, was it a busy afternoon for you? Were you very popular?

When you're wearing this, it's funny how people change when they act towards

you. Like, people's attitudes change when they know that you're not going

and you have a free vote that someone here may need.

Denise, is Amanda's vote more powerful tonight, or is it just another vote?

Well, I mean, whoever she votes for, that could be the power switch. I mean,

all depends on which way she goes. I mean, I was talking to her earlier, and

one point she's like, I got your back, you know, I said I got your back.

And, you know, I hope she votes with me, and I hope she doesn't vote against me.

I said I had your back a while ago. I didn't say that today. I said, you know

what I said. I know. I understand.

Okay.

Todd, you have the best grin on your face.

You know, it was kind of fly that she said you had your back, and Amanda's

kind of dropped like, I never said I had your back. And I was like, oh, that's

sharp. I mean, if it was said to me, I'd be like, mm.

So I was kind of reacting for Denise, I guess, in a way.

Amanda, has the final tribal council already started? Because Todd just took

opportunity to make an editorial comment.

I know. It has already begun. And you just have to put yourself in what you

think is the best position and do your best, and that's all you can do.

All right. It is time to vote.

Cannot vote for Amanda.

Denise? Todd, Courtney, all three of you, fair game.

It is time to vote. Denise, you're up.

Todd, I'm going to have to vote for you because I know you're going to vote for

me tonight.

Good luck.

one of the greatest competitors in this game so far.

You've been awesome to me. Thank you.

I'll go tell him to vote.

Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be

asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Denise.

Todd. One vote Todd.

Denise. Two votes Denise.

One vote Todd.

One vote left.

The 13th person voted out, the 7th member of our jury, Denise.

You can bring me a torch.

Denise? Chubb, spoken.

I'm going to go.

Amanda, Todd, Courtney, you've gone as far as you can go in this game.

The power now shifts to the jury.

Seven people that you had a hand in voting out now hold your fate in their

hands. The only power you have left is the opportunity to persuade them it

should be you.

You have one night left in China. Enjoy it. Grab your torches. Head back to

camp. Good night.

I definitely believe I would have won this entire thing if I had stayed in the

game.

I'm just proud of what I've accomplished.

I think I did a great job. I never gave up. And to make it 38 days out here is a

spectacular thing for a 40 -year -old woman.

Congratulations, girlies. You did it.

Amanda.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Please stop.

Come here.

What do you mean call you out?

I'm so over this. Like, I could not be more over this.

We just got back from tribal council and I feel horrible.

In essence.

Todd made me look bad in front of the jury.

Well, this is the face that I made. I went, ah, like, ouch, burn, that hurt.

it's true. Yeah, exactly. That's why I'm mad, because I was like, Denise, I did

not say I had your back today. And I know how that sounded, but then you put

that comment. You're right.

Cut me off at the knee.

I didn't mean it that way. Well, that's how it came out. I'm sorry.

I'm not retarded. I know what happened. What happened was...

Denise was trying to say that I told her before tribal council that I had her

back. But I definitely don't think I did it. I think I had told her before that

I had her back, but not today.

And it sounded bad because it sounded like, no, I'm not going to have your

today. And then Todd made a face like, oh, my God, Amanda.

I wasn't doing it to backstab you. You can totally go in tomorrow and trash me

as much as you want. I'm not going to.

But I'm saying that's fine because I know it's your game. But don't expect

everything to be, like, okay if you do stuff like that to me because I don't

like people like that. I didn't. I'm honestly disappointed with myself

I'm in the final three with a guy who would stab me in the back in a second

who has pretty much lied, cheated his way into the finals with my help. So I

feel like crap.

And I honestly mean that. I did not mean to turn it on you.

Yeah, you did.

No, I didn't.

Well, that's fine. Whatever.

You don't believe me.

No, I don't.

You know, it really was an accident.

My last intention was to turn it on to Amanda and make her look like a bad guy.

So it was complete slip -up. And, you know, she, I don't think, believes me

it was an accident, but it was.

I wish that you wanted to celebrate because we're in the final three

like we planned. I have nothing to celebrate. I don't feel like... I... I

know.

You guys can celebrate. I'm going to bed.

Day 39.

You made it to the end!

I can't believe it.

Sometimes, in the next 24 hours, I get to use a Q -tip.

Oh my god.

You know better.

Like this.

Guys,

I see something. A lot of something, you guys!

We're cooking, Todd.

Perfect. We're cooking in the jungle.

China's been a crazy experience for me. I'm glad that...

You know, China was as hard as it was. Like, it rained.

It was so hot. You know, it is like a building experience.

Cheers to the final three, girls.

Whoever would have thought.

No one. Not me.

I'm proud of myself, and I can't believe it. Like, my final goal was to make the

final three, and I did. Can you guys believe that we made it this far?

No. The three of us, really.

I'm so happy it's you guys, too. Now I'm getting sappy, too.

I think I do have really good personal relationships on the jury. I have never

been anything but my own winsome personality that has been called every

the book since day one.

So hopefully, I mean, hopefully that'll get some credit. I made it this far, and

that should get some respect from some people.

Oh, my goodness, Paul.

I know. This is the most amazing feeling.

$500 Louis Vuitton.

Let's do this.

All right, ready, guys?

Yeah.

I think the biggest part of being out here in China is...

...in general than I ever,

ever have. So I think China has almost taught me to grow up.

This is for...

38 days of suffering in the jungles of China. And to day 39, where we're the

final three.

I feel like looking at the jury, I stand an okay shot.

I backstabbed and lied to a lot of them.

But I was playing a game. And whether I win a million dollars tonight or not, I

feel like I've accomplished a lot. And I'm so proud.

Honestly, I think it's anyone's game at this point. I think I have a 33 % chance

of winning the money. And I'm just going to go in tonight, tell them

the honest truth about my game and how I've played.

I think a lot of my fear of failure and things like that have been minimized

because of this experience.

And I'm ready to do it now. I'm not afraid of it.

I'm nervous for tonight because all of this is coming to an end. I know I'm

going to be emotional.

And it'll be good. I'm excited.

we'll now bring in the members of our jury

jamie

jean -robert frosty james eric pg

and denise voted out the last tribal council

amanda todd

courtney Welcome to your final tribal council.

After 39 days, the power now shifts from the three of you to the jury.

Tonight, they will decide who is most deserving of the title of sole survivor

and the million -dollar check that goes with it. This is your last chance to

convince them you are the one who is most deserving.

Here's how it's going to work.

You will each get a chance to make an opening statement.

The jury will then get a chance to address you, and then we will vote.

You guys ready to get started?

Yeah. Opening statements. Amanda, you're up.

Okay.

You know, I had a lot of time to reflect on the experience, the whole experience

today, and I feel very blessed to be sitting here.

This was a hard 39 days.

And it's finally come to an end.

And I came into this game knowing a specific strategy that I was going to

and that I had to align myself with someone right away.

So I aligned with Todd.

My strategy then changed, like, towards the end game. So I was with people that

I had a chance to physically compete against.

And I did. I won the last two immunity challenges.

But there are some things I'm not proud of that I've done.

You know, I voted for some people that I didn't think that I was going to vote

for them. You know, specifically Jane, John Robert, and Frosty.

I am sorry if I hurt your feelings.

And I really respect playing with all of you.

So that's all I have to say.

Todd.

All right, guys.

I'm stoked to be here tonight. And, you know, first thing I want to say, really,

thank you.

For being where you are and helping me to get in a spot in the game. I know

I played a game where I had to lie and I had to backstab and I had to hurt

people that I cared about.

And the main thing I can ask tonight is that you are able to see the difference

between my strategic game and the relations that I actually built with

Because the relations on a personal level, honest, real. The game level, the

strategic level.

It's what I came here to do. I knew coming into the game, I was not the most

physical, but I knew that I could be the most strategic.

And if I did that, I could get here.

This is my dream come true.

I've lived my dream and, you know, you guys have all been a part of it.

And I'm happy to answer whatever questions, hear whatever you have to say

me. I'm ready for it. But I really do want to say thank you for helping me in

the game. It means the world to me. So, thanks.

Courtney. Okay. Hello, everyone.

Unlike the other few people sitting here, I was not a lifelong Survivor fan.

No strategy.

No idea what I was doing. And every single time that I didn't get voted out,

was actually surprised.

So that's... what sets me apart from these two guys. I figured out how to

survive in a game that was completely physical in the beginning. I started the

game weighing 95 pounds, and I was physically scared to be in this game in

beginning. I had to figure out a way to just somehow manage to make it work for

me. And I did that.

Around the time of the merge, things changed, and I sort of caught my footing

little bit better. I did win a personal immunity, so whoever saw that coming,

not me, I was surprised.

I made good alliances that worked for me. I was always pretty up front, as

as you can be in this scenario.

And I'm really proud of myself.

And I think that, you know, whether or not you like me personally, you have to

give a little bit of credit to the little girl who everyone thought would

gone in the first six days and is still sitting here on day 39.

All right, jury, in a minute, you're going to get your first chance to

Amanda, Todd, and Courtney.

I'll give you a minute to think about what you want to say.

All right, jury, it is now your opportunity

to address.

Amanda, Todd, and Courtney, this is your chance to gain the information you need

to make a million -dollar decision.

You can address one, two, or all three of them.

James, you're up first.

All right. I just want to congratulate y 'all. I did what y 'all were supposed

to do. Y 'all made it to the final three.

I'm not even going to be a bitter Betty, Courtney.

I just want to know something good. Was this a good time that y 'all had in the

game of survival?

I think one of the best times I had was actually the very first challenge that

our team did together because when I picked up the pole the first time, I was

like, sweet mother of God, this thing weighs 50 pounds. I'm going to die. And

then when we actually won it in the end and I stuck the thing in, I was like,

I'm not going to be the first person voted out as survivor.

Oh, my God.

This is crazy.

Congratulations. James, I have a question for you.

Why that question?

Well, I mean, I just want to make it easier because.

It might be kind of rough in a little while. I'm not bitter Betty. Thanks,

James.

J .R., Jean Robert, you're up.

Congratulations, guys.

Thank you.

But I got a dilemma.

I have a real problem here.

From day one, it hasn't been a secret that I haven't really felt like Courtney

is necessarily deserving of getting to the end.

But I also...

I promised Todd and I promised Amanda that if you guys backstabbed me, you

not be winning a million dollars. So here I am.

Okay, can it be anyone besides you three? But it's the three of you. Okay,

have to make a decision. So I got to tell you, tonight, my vote is live for

of you. I'm asking you, Courtney, how can I, in good conscience, give you my

vote tonight?

The game is outwit, outlast, outplay, and I have done all three of those

And, you know, I won an immunity.

Did you win an immunity?

I came from the worst odds. I was never the favorite in this game.

I'll give you that. Thanks. That's a good answer.

By the way, I started out this game with the strategy of being a brutal jerk and

was going to try and come around. The second half of my game never got into

because I was... Blindsided, which brings me to Amanda, day 23.

I went to you, I said, Amanda, I will not backstab you.

At that point, you said to me, I will not be putting your name down on a

That's what you said to me on day 23.

Day 24 comes around, my name's on a ballot. I'm asking you, when you said

to me, were you outright lying to me, or did you make a commitment to me and

just go back on your word?

I was not lying to you, and honestly, I did not want to vote for you, but too

many other people did.

So honestly, it was a very, very hard decision for me.

It's not one I'm proud of, and I am sorry for lying to you.

So you lied to me. First you're saying you broke the word to me, now you're

saying you lied to me. What happened there? No, I broke the word to you. I

didn't lie to you. I did not want to put your name down.

Okay. But I am telling you, I was between a rock and a hard place. I had

choice.

Todd, day one, I went to you. I said, Todd, you know what? You're the schemer

here. I know it. I'm on to you. You have the knowledge and you have the smarts.

We had a plan to send James home.

The best move for all of us at that time was to get rid of James, okay?

In my opinion, you organizing to blindside me. Yeah, you blindsided me.

I'm out of the game. But I wasn't the biggest threat.

You started to strategically place ideas in people's heads, which is what I

wanted my job to be.

And when you had approached me about blindsiding James, I was like, oh no,

catching up. So who then becomes the biggest threat to me? You.

What do I have to do? Turn it around on you, who is an extremely great strategic

player in your daily life.

I had to get rid of my biggest strategic threat, who is you.

Guys, congratulations.

Well done.

James,

I'm confused. What are you laughing at?

PG, you're up.

I want to vote for the person that I think deserves it the most.

Todd, you talked about having played a really strategic game. You say that you

played it hard.

You know, I want to know that you didn't just slide in here because somebody

decided you were going to be easy to beat.

First, I didn't slide anywhere. I started working day one.

John Rivera called me out, said I'm a sneaky, sly little bastard that was

to get through this game, and he had to watch out for it. He was right.

Second, I gathered my numbers. I got myself Amanda, got myself Courtney.

Right? I was like, good, I've got some numbers. Pulled in Denise. We get to the

merge, we pick you guys off, then it's a head -to -head battle, but I still got

my numbers.

I fought.

It's a glorious battle.

Art of War, yin and yang, I came out as a fighter. That's just bottom line.

Um, Amanda, I'm sick of you looking at me with doe eyes, and every time you've

opened your mouth to any one of these people, you sound apologetic.

Okay. Because you wanted Todd to take the fall as the bad guy, you know? I

to hear what you think you did that was better than what Todd did.

Part of my strategy in this game was making sure that I was with people in

end that I could physically compete against.

James is a physical competitor. He has two immunity idols. That is a guaranteed

spot in the top five.

So I said, let's, you know, what about if we just, you know, we have to get rid

of James.

It's either now or never, because he could pull it at six, and he could pull

at five, and then he's in the top four, and then he's in the top three spot, and

then there's only places for two of us.

So that is a strategic move that I made in this game.

So the decision to get rid of James was your idea. It was my idea.

All right. Cool.

Thanks, PG.

Eric.

I want to know, What was the riskiest move you made in the game where you knew

that it was your ass if you didn't?

Amanda, let's hear from you.

Definitely, I think my riskiest move in this game was the decision to get rid of

James. And I really believed that Todd and James had something going on.

And, you know, if James got in there, he was going to not only take a third

spot, but wreck my alliance that I already had.

So that was definitely the riskiest move for my strategic.

play in this game i'm just trying to understand like okay voting out a guy

two immunity idols does not sound very risky to me it sounds like a like it's a

no -brainer um if he would have played an idol i would have lost my alliance

partner and then i would have had to start all over again so it was a very

move we were all nervous at that tribal council it would have changed the whole

game if something else would have happened all right well i think i've got

i need to know Thank you, guys.

Thanks, Eric.

Frosty, you're up.

Todd, you know, I love you, but I don't even know if I know you.

You lied up, down, left, and right, and all the way back around in a circle. Why

do you think that your gameplay deserves a vote from Frosty?

I think you're a great kid. My personal relations were different than my game

relations, and yes, I did know.

that i wanted to take you in be close with you make myself a buddy and put you

on a jury and and what i built with you as a friend was real but yeah i did do a

big huge lie to my buddy frost i'm sorry all right hey you gotta do it

courtney what's up how you doing you look great uh thanks dressed up

for you now i i am really interested to hear what you have to say

Because I think of all the three people, your gameplay interested me the most.

Amanda, I assumed was going to lie and backstab me eventually.

Todd, I knew was going to lie and backstab me eventually.

But you actually, interestingly enough, surprised me when you lied and

backstabbed me just a little bit. You also flat out said to me, unprovoked,

if my name came up with other people, you would tell me.

Um, no, every... was in a blind panicked frenzy that I wouldn't vote for you and

so all eyes were sort of on me and I mean if I pulled you aside it you know

might have made you feel a little bit better a little bit worse but I don't I

mean I don't know that it would have changed any outcome but it wasn't like I

went out and aggressively befriended you just to take you out of the game and

then like oh good pocket juror that's just that's not what happened Jamie

You're up.

Hey, guys. Hi. I have a kind of fun question where you guys get to pull each

other's dirty laundry out for the other people. I don't want it sugar -coated.

So, Courtney, we're going to start with you.

If you could start off by telling me everything that we would be disappointed

and Todd about knowing, what he's done, what lies he's told, why we shouldn't

vote for him, but we should vote for you.

I think...

Airing Todd's dirty laundry is pretty redundant. I think he wears it on his

sleeve. I think every single person here knows exactly every bad thing that

Todd's done, and that's why you're sitting over there.

Well, what has he done?

Well, he organized voting out John Revere, and he organized voting out

and then he helped Amanda with voting out James. I mean, there's not really

specifics. So he deserves a million dollars more than you do? Is that what

you're saying?

I think that each one of us has a different reason that we are deserving.

Exactly, but why is he not deserving?

I think he might be deserving.

I think it's an equal opportunity. So Todd should get my million -dollar vote?

Is that the reason?

Todd, we're going to skip that question to Courtney and go, why doesn't Courtney

deserve the million dollars? What has she done?

Courtney's voted the same as me pretty much the whole time. I mean, I may have

made the lies up and coordinated them.

She's voted for me, so she's just as much of a liar as I am.

Except I didn't lie to you. I had to come along. She just went along.

That's it.

The reason why you should not vote for Courtney is because she didn't want to

here in the first place.

So do you think she deserves it at all, or do you think... I think I deserve it

more than her. Okay, great.

Now, Amanda, is there anything about Courtney that we should know that makes

undeserving of a million dollars?

I'm just going to be honest.

I came into this and... I don't...

I know. Okay. I feel like Courtney is ungrateful. When she'd come back from

awards, she'd just complain.

And I honestly, at the beginning, I didn't feel like Courtney deserved to be

here because I didn't feel like she put her heart into anything she did here.

And that's just honest.

Okay. What about Todd?

I feel like Todd is a great strategic player of this game, but I feel if he's

that good of a strategic player, why didn't he play this game better to where

didn't have to deceive and lie to all these people? He lied too much for me.

Okay, now, Tom, this is your chance. Right. You just heard what Amanda said

about you.

First of all, is what she said legit, or was there strategics behind you lying?

I mean, yeah, I told more lies, and yeah, I made more, you know.

like let's go far together than amanda but i did the dirty work for the nice

girl and corny do you think she rode your coat sale and she's only reason

here because of you i would say that they definitely played their game

strategically but i played mine more strategically fair enough thanks jamie

denise you're up

I'm glad y 'all can look me in the eye. That's nice.

I'm just up here. I mean, I'm a lunch lady.

I dedicate my whole life to being honest, to being fair. You guys all came

me. You all shook my hand. You all looked me in the face. You all said,

with us.

None of you wanted to be standing up next to me. You didn't want to go up

You thought I would play the kid game.

I believe that the jury would have voted for me.

But because I'm standing here and I'm not sitting over there, someone has to

give it to you now.

So this is what I'm going to do. Amanda has lied, even though she said that I

don't lie, I'm not going to lie, I'm an honorable person.

You have lied.

You've not only lied to me, you've lied to John Robert, you've lied to Frosty,

you've lied to James.

Todd, he has such a deceptive side to him that, you know, you never know when

he's telling the truth.

You know, if you have these things...

you, that you can do that to people without even thinking about it, without

batting an eye, your conscience needs to be cleaned.

You need to turn over a new leaf. You need to look inside yourself as well and

realize what you do that affects a lot of people.

Courtney, you're a very honest person.

You're very outgoing.

You say what you mean. You mean what you say.

I can respect that.

Thanks, guys.

Thank you.

All right, jury, you've had your say.

Amanda, Todd, Courtney, you've had your say.

I'm going to give you a minute to let it all sink in, and then we will vote.

All right, Amanda, Todd, Courtney.

You've made your case to the jury. The jury's had their chance to address you.

One thing left to do, and that is vote.

Jury, tonight you are voting for a winner. You are writing down the name of

person you think most deserving of the title of sole survivor and the million

-dollar check that goes with it.

The last time, it is time to vote.

Jamie, you're up.

You did not have my vote coming into this. I'm very impressed with your

this evening, and that's why you got my vote. So congratulations.

I relate to your struggle for being honest in this game. I think you played

best. well -rounded game.

So, congratulations.

Wish you the best.

Courtney, I picked you because you always tried to tell me the truth.

and you overcame the most odds. Good job. Congratulations.

He just stole a million dollars.

Well played.

I'll go get the vote.

Amanda, Todd, Courtney, it's been a long 39 days.

I know you'd like me to read these votes tonight, and I'm going to, because we

are live in Hollywood for the reading of the votes!

Todd, Courtney, jury, thank you for being a part of what I think was a very

season of Survivor. One of our best, I would say.

Yep.

place, the shot at a million dollars.
