Welcome Readers from Survivor.com!
Please visit the main page of my Survivor blog before you leave for my latest thoughts. And next season I will be blogging at Survivor Hut.
Review of the season is over.
Tie breaker is now underway. Fire is life.
Cirie an early lead. Each had a fire go out. Danielle's fire now going steady.
Danielle Wins! Terry smiles too.
Jeff Probst's Final Thought
You've made it to the final three.
Cirie's Final Words
Proud to have gotten this far.
First Interview: Danielle
Worked hard to win the fire building tie breaker. Terry talks about his pack with Danielle to go to the final two together. Terry shows them the Immunity Idol. Danielle says that she's trapped between two macho guys who are rivals.
Reward Challenge
Reward: Power Meal, Cot & Blanket
Type of Challenge: Race Up Climbing Wall.
Terry won Reward. (No one goes to Exile Island)
Aras ahead, first up wall. Terry in second but pulls out the win. Danielle never even got all of her pegs together to try and climb the wall.
Camp. Aras and Danielle talk like they have a pact; Aras says one of us has got to win Immunity. They eat a lot of fish. Terry returns from his meal with his cot. In private Aras says this really puts the pressure on Terry to win Immunity.
Terry reads Tree Mail, it has instruction for the Survivor Memorial at Exile Island. Video memorial of the other Survivors in the order in which they left the game. They burn everyones torhces in the freaky looking skull-shaped shelter on Exile Island.
Final Immunity Challenge
Type of Challenge: Balance on a Series of Floating Platforms.
Danielle won Final Immunity.
Fifteen minutes on each platform, they get smaller each time.
All three move on to the Second Platform.
All three move on to the Third Platform. This is a hard one to balance on. Terry had trouble even starting and is the first one to fall off. Aras goes off shortly afterwards.
Danielle wins the final Immunity! Her first one too. Will she chose Terry to be in the final two with her?
Scheming Is Free
Danielle says that she will take who she thinks has the best chance of beating. So much for that pact with Terry. Terry is calmly making his case with her (Aras not present). Basically he says he's the one because of Casaya loyalty. Now Aras and Danielle talking. Aras claims to have Cirie's vote and if Danielle doesn't take him to the final two then she will lose both their votes.
Tribal Council
Danielle says it's an honor to win final immunity. Terry admits he had the Immunity Idol. Aras says he though he was easily the choice to be in the final two with Danielle. Danielle says again how conflicted she is. Time to vote.
Danielle selects Aras to be in the Final Two with her. As Terry leaves he says to Danielle "You lied" and then to everyone 'Thanks for the adventure.'
Jeff Probst's Final Thought
Congratulations to Danielle and Aras, the power now shifts to the Jury.
Terry's Final Words
My biggest mistake was not keeping the game in my hands . . . not bad for a 46 year old guy.
Last Day at Camp
Aras says that he has played with integredy. Danielle decided on Aras because of the Casaya connection. She trusted her gut. Food in the morning to help celebrate the final two. Aras slips and falls while drinking from a champagne glass and cuts himself on the back and hand. Danielle kind of freaks out. The doctors/medics show up to stitch Aras. Aras gets all philosophical about his accident. Aras and Danielle are all hugy and nice to each other.
The Jury
Opening Statements
Aras: wow guys, thank you, amazing experience. Worked my butt off in camp and challenges. I made an effort to get to know each of you. I played with integrity.
Danielle: Thank you making this an unbelieveable experience. I tried to play my best.
Questions
Sally: of 6 Casaya who helped the most to get you here?
Danielle names Cirie. Aras also says Cirie.
Bruce: What will responsibility of million dollars do?
Aras: try and make myself a better person.
Danielle: Share experience with young people.
Terry: rate 1 to 10 and why? (anger at Danielle first)
Aras: 9. Tried real hard.
Danielle: 8.5, 9. Cheesburger regret.
Austin: 1 positive move, 1 negative move?
Danielle: keep Bruce, Bob Dog off. Voting Courtney off bad, hard.
Aras: telling Melinda she's going. Not proud of voting off Shane.
Courtney: (rambles) What did you really learn about yourself?
Aras: My ego has been smashed.
Danielle: I didn't realize how mentally strong I can be.
Cirie: Why vote for other?
Danielle: Aras is an honorable and great person.
Aras: Danielle helped me after I cut my hand.
Shane: Terry most deserving. You two both are undeserving. Danielle never did anything. Aras, we had an agreement! You lied!! Judge on actions. I can't decide and I can't abstain so pick a number between 1 and a million.
Danielle: 10
Aras: 4
Final Statements (They both dealt with what Shane said about them.)
