"JEFF PROBST:" "36 Days ago on this remote Malaysian island 16 Americans began the adventure of a lifetime." "Woo-hoo!" "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 corporate world at all, and corporate world ain't going to work out here in the bush." "B.B.:" "I've been working my ass off, and a lot of you have been laying on your ass, watching me." "So don't give me any of that ..." "RUDY:" "The hardest part is hanging around with all these young kids." "I don't even know what MTV means, you know?" "JEFF:" "At first, the castaways competed as two separate tribes:" "Pagong and Tagi." "Survivors ready?" "Go!" "JEFF:" "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 these first 18 days." "On day 21, the tribes merged and the competitions became individual." "Yes!" "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 Gervase could definitely do something." "So, let's do it." "So, now it's you and me to the end, period." "JEFF:" "But as strategies deepened, bonds were broken." "'Cause I trust her more than I trust you." "Why?" "That's bull ..." "I've been your friend since day one." "JEFF:" "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." "Subrip: btf btf@freemail.hu" "RICHARD:" "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, um, I think it has to do with just how short... how little time is left." "SUSAN:" "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 here now has come down to probably the boredom." "It's peach fuzz." "Scrape it off." "RUDY:" "The girls got razor blades in their care package, so after they got done under their arms they shaved my face." "Looks great." "Cool." "Just like uptown." "Yeah, you look great." "KELLY:" "Hey, Rudy, clean shaven." "How's it feel?" "Man, I was dying to get rid of that thing." "We made about, uh... 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 bowl each?" "Yeah." "It's getting down to the wire, eh?" "I'm a wreck." "My hair is way longer than I ever keep it." "This 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." "KELLY:" "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." "SUSAN:" "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." "RUDY:" "Of the four of us that are here right now we formed this alliance way 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 'em lined up-- but now we're finished with the alliance 'cause 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 the logo that said" ""Out wit, Out play, Out last," same as I did." "In the beginning, nobody wanted the money, but now it's all money." "You know, it's on everybody's mind." "And in order to win the money you got to make an alliance or don't even show up." "RICHARD:" "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." "KELLY:" "I feel like I agreed to be in an alliance, and then I didn't want to be in it anymore, but I was too chicken to tell 'em that." "And 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 way the alliance voted." "She was setting herself up so that if she is the last two at the end she's going to make herself look really good, 'cause we knew there would be more Pagong on the jury than Tagi." "KELLY:" "I just bit off way more than I could chew and it just... it all exploded." "SUSAN:" "What it is is greedy." "She thinks she got..." "like, five or six people ago, it's like, you could see her turn a little bit." "Then I was really irritated." "This has not been easy, you know, come out here on the island and get bit up 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 at my side." "RICHARD:" "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 initial four, but it wasn't a continuous line of "Ooh, initial four make it all the way through."" "So there's a different feeling attached to it, not that sense of accomplishment I would have had had the trust been unbreached and we went through cleanly." "Message, message, message, ooh." ""'Ode to the fallen comrades':" ""Here are your targets from Tribal Councils past." ""Hope you've learned about the people you've sacked." "Come to the next challenge with all your bags packed."" "Oh!" "How cool-- like, about their personality." "RUDY:" "Somebody will go tonight and we're waiting till after we get back to eat so we got more food, 'cause one mouth will be gone." "Could be mine;" "could be anybody's." "I think maybe this challenge will be they'll 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, um, these people-- seeing how well we knew them, how well we listened to them." "I guess things like that." "SUSAN:" "It's cutthroat time." "I would say that Rich, Rudy and I are getting along well, and, uh, Kelly's the one we've been wanting to get out of here." "KELLY:" "I feel completely vulnerable." "I feel the odd man out." "It's really stressful and it's kind of scary because, you know, I'm not "safe" anymore." "( whistling )" "RUDY:" "Kelly would have been gone by now if she didn't ace the last two immunities." "SUSAN:" "We're praying that one of us three wins today so we can boot her out." "The one person I did actually care about was Sue and she doesn't give two ... about me, so I don't give a crap about anybody on this island anymore." "Um, I'm here for me and everybody else can kiss my ass." "( gong ringing )" "JEFF:" "We'll go ahead and bring our jury in." "Day 37... down to two immunity challenges." "We've invited the jury in because what we're going to do tonight embodies what Survivor's 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 the 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 Counsel?"" "Okay." "Turn it over." "We're doing these one by one." "See everybody's vote." ""Stacey."" "One for Rudy, one for Sue." "Now your answers are suddenly valuable, Rudy." "I know it." "They're all peeking over my shoulder." "JEFF:" "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 Gervase." "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?"" "That's a good idea." "Rudy, all right." "Five seconds." "Okay." "Kelly's right." "It was Jenna's." "Okay, Kelly and Sue tied in the lead with two each." "Question four:" ""What state is Gervase from?"" ""What state is Gervase from?"" "Okay, let's reveal." ""New Jersey."" ""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 bandanna is this?"" "Blue bandanna." "All right, reveal." ""Greg" is right." "Kelly is 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..."" "That's 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 bring with them when they moved to Tagi Beach?"" "You need all three items." "Still writing, Rudy?" "Okay." "Let's reveal." "The answers were "mosquito net,"" ""cooking pot" and "a blanket."" "Rudy, you're right." ""Blanket, mosquito net, cooking pot."" "Kelly, you're right." "So it's Rudy, Kelly, Sue." "Each 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." ""Gervase and Colleen."" ""Gervase and Colleen."" ""Gervase and 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."" ""Maternity."" ""Neurology."" "Okay, everybody but Kelly." "Okay, last question:" "Sue and Kelly are both tied at six." "Rudy, you got five." "This could determine the winner in who gets immunity." "But if Kelly and Sue both get it wrong and, Rudy, if you get it right, then we'll have a three-way tie, in which case we'll go to a tie-breaker." "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 B.B." "Ramona was second." "Number three was Joel." "Number four, Gretchen." "Number five, Greg." "Six was Jenna." "Gervase." "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 tie-breaker question:" ""What is Sonja's last name?"" "She was in your tribe." ""What is Sonja's last name?"" "You have 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 to Kelly." "You are on a hot streak for sure." "Do you pay attention to people usually and learn about them?" "I do." "I listen." "Uh, I listen to people, and I especially listen, um, when it's people I'm interested in and people I like." "Okay." "It's time to vote." "Rich, you're up." "Who knows why?" "JEFF:" "Rudy?" "Her number was up." "It's time for Rich to get..." "off the stage." "Sue?" "I'll go tally the votes." "As always, once the votes are tallied, the decision is final and you'll be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately." "( sighs )" ""Sue."" ""Rich."" ""Sue."" "That's two votes for Sue one vote for Rich." ""Rich."" "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 of you 30 seconds to make a plea for why whoever voted for you should change their vote." "So, Rich, I'll start with you." "Um..." "Well, Kells Bells, somebody's got to go." "I'd appreciate your vote, not against me." "Um, I'd love to stay." "I think, uh, 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, uh, I have a certain responsibility for pulling the alliance together from the beginning." "These are the four we started with and, uh, I'd ask for your help." "Love you, Sue." "Me, too." "( Rich chuckles )" "JEFF:" "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." "JEFF:" "Okay, 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."" "RICHARD:" "Thanks, sweetie." "Cool." "Hey, no problem." "I'm ready to go." "You need to bring me your torch." "( Sue laughing ):" "You..." "Have a smoke and coffee." "Okay." "( chuckling )" "Okay." "That works." "The tribe has spoken." "Okay." "I'll see you guys later." "It's time for you to go." "Good-bye." "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." "SUE:" "Oh, I appreciate being able to talk to everybody for the last time." "I said, "Oh, it'd be great if I could finish in the top four or five."" "I finished top four." "Hey, that's good enough for me." "You know, outside of the weather and being cold and rainy when it rained at night, and the sand fleas, this was a lot easier for me than driving a truck through Chicago every day of the week." "Th-that's a lot worse than being out here in the bush." "JEFF:" "Kelly, Rich and Rudy are all that remain of the Rattana Tribe." "Still to come:" "two more Tribal Councils and we'll find out who will be the sole survivor." "Rich?" "Kelly?" "Hey, it's Jeff." "RICHARD:" "Oh... yes, so it is." "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." "( bird screeches )" "JEFF:" "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" ""sandovar"-- spirit is around you." "Then you all must pass the staffs of your fallen comrades." "As you go, take a moment to reflect on them." "You'll then pass through the bamboo curtain and walk barefoot across a fire pit 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." "( chanting ):" "Sandovar!" "Sandovar!" "Sandovar!" "JEFF:" "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." "( screeches )" "( screeches )" "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." "RICHARD:" "I have a request for "69 Bottles of Beer."" "Anybody?" "Others?" "What would your wife think right now if she could... if she could have a picture in here of you in this mud volcano war paint holding the piece of wood?" "Walking through fire." "Walking through fire." "She'd probably shake her head as usual and walk away, you know." ""He's doing something dumb again," you know?" "Do you think she would walk through the fire, Rudy?" "Would she?" "Uh-huh." "Yeah, if I told her to." "I'd tell her it's a lot of fun, you know, and she'll do it." "Yeah, she seems to like to do all, you know, she skydives and stuff with him." "Do you know Rudy's wife's name?" "Marge." "Very good." "I had no idea, whatsoever, what your wife's name was and then it hits me." "( yawns )" "Hour and a half, 90 minutes." "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." "RUDY:" "Well, it ain't tingling as much now." "Sooner or later" "I'm going to have to step away and get some lunch and I just want..." "I don't blame you." "I'd get breakfast first." "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 them without eating them?" "Yeah, that'd be nice, but, uh..." "I keep getting that inspiration from the smell." "You don't want to smell?" "They smell..." "I know what oranges smell like." "RUDY:" "You don't like oranges, huh?" "Oh-ho-ho... you don't know what these oranges smell like." "I don't need to." "You're sure?" "Permeate your soul?" "Nah." "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." "Rich!" "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 against" "I 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." "Just for when you guys finish up." "I'll just put 'em over here." "Thanks, Jeff." "With your orange slices." "Thank you." "Absolutely." "Don't take your hand off the idol." "But step down off the logs." "So think about this before you do it." "Get a good grip on it." "What you're going to do is rotate positions." "We're going to do that every 30 minutes." "Rudy, you walk to 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." "And Sue and Kelly joined a sub-alliance." "Against you guys?" "Yeah... to get to the top." "Okay." "Sue and I had formed an alliance to go..." "Which makes sense." "Suballiances 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." "I knew better not to really trust anybody, and I did and I got burned." "Me, too." "So she and I had spoke, also earlier, about getting to the final vote, the 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 you're not going to let me do something or I can't do something." "Right." "And then after I won that immunity after the mask, 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 sudden, you know," "I won and she was buddy-buddy with me again." "When Sue went behind my back and made an alliance with Kelly" "I went immediately to Rudy, 'cause 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, are you 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..." "JEFF:" "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." "When you said earlier that you guys had the alliance, maybe the strongest one." "Yet you just kind of hopped out of this game well over two hours ago, Uh-huh." "leaving 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 gonna say, 'Rudy, you owe me, man." "I'm going to sit here...'"" "I don't even think he owes me." "But he gave me his word." "What he does with that-- Well, okay." "and it's a game-- I'm not going to hate the man if he changes his mind." "But, you know..." "Right." "Or if he gets tired in the sun." "Right." "Or if he gets tired in the sun." "That's a problem you're in." "This really is your alliance, but now it's out of your hands." "It is out of my hands." "For the first time, it's out of your hand." "I took that chance and if I'm third, okay." "Does it bother you that he's sitting there and dropped out early?" "Yeah, I ought to be sitting there." "I'm going to force him to stand up here." "I know." "JEFF:" "Yeah." "He didn't give you that option." "Yeah, by him jumping off, it changes everything again." "Yeah." "'Cause I was planning on him to do this." "To continue this one?" "Yeah, and I knew I couldn't." "Swap." "He took his hand off." "I think that's that, Rudy." "Well, I'm done." "Nice job." "Nice job." "Nice job, Rudy." "Hug time." "Oh, give me a hug." "There you go." "Five in a row." "That's a record." "KELLY:" "I knew a 100% the only way that I was going to get to day 38 and now tomorrow, day 39, was with this little thing around my neck." "RICHARD:" "The last immunity challenge was standing there attached to a... 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." "KELLY:" "So Rich just gave a little speech and said" ""I hope you appreciate what I'm doing for the both of you,"" "and let go, which I thought was kind of funny, like... he was tired, his arm hurt, he wanted to let go and he was trying to make some big noble sacrifice for me and Rudy-- yeah, whatever." "RICHARD:" "'Cause even if I'm voted off tonight" "I think it's the best decision I could have made." "KELLY:" "You know, it's out of my hands." "So when I won today it was just like, "Okay," ""that's it, chill out, relax, breathe... sleep, whatever you got to do."" "Um... so it was just unbelievable." "Overwhelming sense of relaxation and, uh, relief." "RUDY:" "Dumb." "It was a dumb move on my part." "I gave away a million bucks." "I would have won a million bucks if, uh, if I, uh, stayed there, didn't let go of it." "It ain't nobody's fault but mine." "KELLY:" "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." "RICHARD:" "I'm hoping that there is little likelihood of my being voted off, but I'm not all that confident." "I'm not really sure." "I think it's in Kelly's best interest to keep me here, but I don't know that she'll do that." "I'm hoping she will." "RUDY:" "Well, I think me and Kelly would fare better..." "I know some people that would vote for me." "I don't know of hardly any that are going to vote for Rich." "He stepped on some toes, and people ain't going to forgive him." "JEFF:" "Hey, Rich." "Kelly." "Hey, Rudy." "Dang, 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." "He 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." "Great." "The good news is you're going to cast the vote." "So let's just look at a few of the factors that come into play." "Certainly, from 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 Tagi alliance." "You guys are all Tagi." "So it really comes down to relationships, the friendships you have, the impressions that have been made on other people." "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 the 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 "Rich" or it's going to be "Rudy."" "In effect, you're saying, "You're not getting the money."" "You ready to do this?" "Let's 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... is Rudy." "You need to bring me your torch." "I don't blame her." "In this case, Kelly has spoken." "It's time for you to go." "That way?" "Yeah." "Good night." "So here's how it will work tomorrow." "Each member of the jury will get one question." "You guys will get to respond, and then you'll get a chance at the end to sort of state your case." "Now the tables are turned." "The power's out of your hands." "It's up to them." "Hope you can get a good night's sleep, and I'll see you guys tomorrow." "Good night." "RUDY:" "I never thought I'd come this far and I got three votes, then I got two votes, then I got one vote and then they forgot about me, and I figured, "I'm right in the middle" "where I want to be now."" "And I didn't get a... today's the first time I got a vote since... a month ago." "And it was the fatal vote." "( chuckles )" "JEFF:" "Only two remain." "Stay tuned to find out who will be the sole survivor." "KELLY:" "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, to chill out." "I mean, tonight's going to be a big deal and it's going to be crazy." "Yeah." "I think I'm going to go visit my tree." "Okay." "For a little while." "Have fun." "I will." "Say good-bye." "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." "It's 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... trusting Sue, being vulnerable to her." "That really hurt me in a lot of ways." "RICHARD:" "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, uh, 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 and try and do nothing." "KELLY:" "But it's been really hard, mentally." "Just... people trying to..." "My brain is just..." "I can't think about anything, really, right now." "Burn, baby, burn." "The end of the spoons." "Fire, fire." "KELLY:" "There's been some..." "moral low points for me in playing this game." "I've had some, kind of, not-so-proud moments, and, uh, that's things that I'm leaving here on this island, and with this game, and, uh, that don't belong in, uh... my life." "Burning the flag." "RICHARD:" "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." "Boards." "I'll stay out of the fire." "You just..." "Good-bye, camp." "Burn." "RICHARD:" "Burn, camp, burn." "W-what will you miss the most?" "What will I miss the most?" "Just 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, rain forest, tropical island, and..." "KELLY:" "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." "KELLY:" "I'm really grateful I'm here." "Um..." "I feel lucky to be in the... 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 pretended that he wasn't, um... 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-I do respect that." "Okay, can we uh..." "Let's get our stash." "Turn off the lights, and, uh..." "Turn off the lights." "make sure the oven's off and everything." "RICHARD:" "If I get second place I will not be sad." "I will be happy that I've earned a hundred grand, and had a great time here, and played 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." "SEAN:" "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." "GERVASE:" "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, but 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." "RUDY:" "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, 'cause I felt like Kelly went through, like, uh, identity crisises on TV, but not really crisises, 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, uh... watch the various identities unfold." "COLLEEN:" "This is a really difficult vote because, I mean, does anybody really think, you know," ""Go, Kelly." "She's number one."" ""I am so happy she made it to the final two,"" "or, "God, I'm glad Rich made it there." "Big winner"?" "No." "But 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 'em 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." "( gong ringing )" "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..." "a new Pontiac Aztec and $1 million to do with whatever you want." "39 days ago, all you guys came here with 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 lives in ways that we probably never imagined." "Extremely complicated." "If we were voting tonight for the... sweetest person, you can make a strong case for Sonja maybe, or Gretchen." "If it was the most athletic, maybe Gervase, Joel." "Certainly if it was the best outdoors person, probably Greg." "So 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." "Um..." "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, uh, I hope nobody has taken anything personally." "I haven't, uh... or I don't know that I necessarily haven't taken anything personally." "I've tried not to, or I hope we're not going to be judged here 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 and the conversations that we had, the time we spent together, the things we talked about," "you know, with, with, that game we played the other night-- how well did you get to know people-- um, things like that..." "I didn't have the conversations I had with you an-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." "Um, 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, um, maybe neither of us would be up here." "I don't know that the best person is sitting up here, but, uh, hopefully, you know, the better person will win." "Richard." "I take a little bit of a different approach to it." "For me, it's not about you deciding who the best person is." "I-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 even got 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, uh, uh, 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 starts of friendships are certainly things that have happened, but, uh... 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, jury, 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." "Gervase, we'll start with you." "( clears throat )" "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?" "JEFF:" "Rich?" "Hmm, good question." "Um..." "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, "Ooh, damn." "I need to stay on my toes even more,"" "because I'd been surprised." "Kelly?" "The one thing I probably would change is I probably wouldn't have, um, joined an alliance, uh... when I did, um, just because of the emotional and moral issues that I had, and, uh, certainly some votes" "that I cast strategically for myself-- alliance, no alliance-- it was about, you know, playing the game and that was hard, voting off competition, voting off people I liked, people I enjoyed." "Um, that's about it." "Great." "Thanks, Gervase." "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, and so I want to know if you could take and put two people in your place in lieu of yourselves, 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, uh, 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 know each other." "I think he's pretty guarded, but, uh, we did take a walk and I was trying to figure out who he was, and I thought he was certainly, uh, my biggest competition, so I thought he was probably trying" "to plan something, but, uh, I never did get to find out whether he was or not, so..." "Um, if I could pick two people" "I would probably pick Sonja and Gretchen." "Uh, I really admire those women." "Um, I felt that they were very strong, very smart and very honest." "Maybe we have kind of a different approach to things, but, uh..." "I really admired their character and I would like to see them up here." "Thanks, Jenna." "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, um..." "Richard, dear Richard... also, likewise, enjoyed your company thoroughly." "You played the game differently than I did, and it was contentious between us at times, and, uh, you're there and I'm over here, so go figure what I know, but, uh, either way," "congratulations on being there." "Thank you for teaching me a little bit about myself, uh, while I've been here." "I think you've been very honest and constructive in any criticism you have given me." "Your "F.N.F" idea-- the "fat, naked fag" idea is extraordinarily funny and a 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 think about it," "and, uh, we'll see which way it goes." "All right, guys, congratulations." "Colleen." "God, he was nice." "All right, here we go." "No, I'm kidding." "Um, actually, I have just a question for myself and for future players of this game:" "What three character traits do you think got you where you are and you think are essential and really important to be where you are at this point?" "JEFF:" "Kelly, start with you." "I would have to say, uh... faith was one, uh, because a week or however long ago," "I was pretty certain that I was out of the game." "I had said before, the only thing that kept me in this game up to this point," "I honestly believe, is that stupid necklace." "Um, but, uh, I knew I wanted to get this far and I think faith really helped me." "Probably a strong will." "There was a lot of..." "of ugliness mentally and trying to figure out who you are and, uh, you know, what you like about yourself and the people around you, and, uh, I don't know, and maybe just a tinge of likability, I hope." "Um, three things" "I can think of are, uh, self-awareness, uh, observation..." "Observation?" "And-and..." "Your game the other day was funny." "You say "observation." Uh-huh." "Like, of observing other people." "Yeah." "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's..." "When I say self-awareness, first of all, 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'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 to." "There are many people here I'd love to interact with, but I wasn't doing that." "That wasn't my focus, and that showed, 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-I played cleanly and, uh, 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" "to 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 one and ten." "Seven." "Okay." "Kelly, a number between one and ten." "Three." "Character is character." "Sue." "Um, 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 a jungle or rowed a boat in his life." "You sucked on that game." "Anyways, I was your friend at the beginning of this, really thinking that you were a true friend." "I was willing to be sitting there and put you next to me." "At that time, you were sweeter than me." "I'm not a very openly nice person." "I'm just frank, forward and tell you it the way it is." "To 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 were at anywhere in life." "That's why you fail all the time." "Hmm... 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, uh, play the game just as long as possible" "and hang in there as long as possible, but, Kelly, go back to a couple of 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 were ever pass you along in life again and you were laying there dying of 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's 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 to eat the rat." "JEFF:" "Okay, Rich and Kelly, we'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." "Um..." "Sue, I'm sorry you feel that way." "Uh, to the rest of you, um, I can sit up here and, uh, probably turn the tables on Sue and, uh, tell you many number of lies and backstabbing things that she has done to myself" "and, uh, this person sitting next to me." "I don't think anybody in this game is without, um, faults or errors or, um, unproud moments of themselves." "Uh, so I already..." "I know how she stands on things." "So to the rest of you, um, I hope you vote how you feel, um, not because of what Sue says or the things that happened between she and I, because that was between she and I." "That doesn't involve anybody else." "So, um..." "It's in your hands." "Rich?" "Um, I imagine it's probably a pretty difficult decision for some people, and I just want to say that I appreciate, uh, your making it." "I, uh, wouldn't change anything that I did, and I hope you respect that that was what I felt I needed to do to play the game." "Thanks." "JEFF:" "Okay." "A little reminder of what's at stake:" "One of these people will be awarded $100,000." "The other person-- something very different." "A new Pontiac Aztec... and a treasure chest full of $1 million." "Normally at Tribal Council, we vote against someone." "We vote somebody off the 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." "Gervase, we'll start with you." "My vote is for Kelly, because I feel" "Kelly played this game better than anybody else." "She came into this thing, she formed her alliance, played both sides of the fence, did her lying 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." "And just one of Sue's comments that's what, in my town, we call a "sore loser,"" "because when Sue was doing the backstabbing, the lying, the throwing the knives 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 trite 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, uh, 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 if she voted for her." "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 that 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." "Uh, she played it well." "She proves 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 she made it, uh, very clear in the last five challenges that she could do this." "Uh, and she endured the rain and the hunger, as well, if not better, than the rest of us." "So, uh, 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." "It's 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 would have wanted to-- um, and you put the whole jury in a real difficult position." "Um, I don't think either of you truly deserve it, but I am voting for Rich because Kelly was clearly more deceptive, more manipulative, um, more double-faced than Richard who's just an out-and-out scoundrel." "But I like him, uh, in some bizarre manner, and I think that his fat, naked fag idea is fantastic and a fat, naked fag with a million dollars is just hilarious." "( sputtering lips )" "( chuckles )" "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 that's something you had." "And, uh, 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 and maybe this will make you be nice or something." "Okay, that's all." "As I stated, Rich, I admire your strong work 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." "( exhales deeply )" "JEFF:" "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."" ""Kelly."" ""Rich."" ""Kelly."" ""Rich."" ""Kelly."" "That's three votes Rich, three votes Kelly." "I need water and oxygen." "The winner of the first Survivor competition is..." ""Rich."" "Congratulations, Rich." "( applause )" "Congratulations." "Nicely played." "Kelly, congratulations." "JEFF:" "Stay tuned to hear the final words from the sole survivor." "RICHARD:" "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 doing 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-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've won a car." "That's just super-- uh, just a... just a nice, nice thing to have had happened." "The million dollars is a heck of an opportunity that I hope I, uh, don't waste."
