"I need you to be honest with me, Scout, because I'm going to tell you right now." "Okay." "I don't know who I'm picking." "Don't play me, Chris, 'cause I-I really just..." "I'm not playing you, but you need to be honest with me." "Okay." "Because I feel like I've been played." "Did you and Twila have an agreement to go to the final two together?" "No." "We had an agreement to go to the final four." "We had an agreement that we would take Liza out." "CHRIS:" "I'm startled." "Twila told me the truth, and I didn't believe her." "I figured that you two had an agreement." "No." "I couldn't believe how honest Scout was." "Scout definitely is smart enough to realize why I was asking her, "Did you and Twila have a pact to the final two?"" "She could have very easily said, "Yeah,"" "and Twila would have been packing tonight for sure, but... she's honest, and I respect her for that." "Ah, that did it." "The bottom line is, there's people on the jury that's going to base their vote on likeability and there's players going to base their vote on who played the best game and it's something I can't predict." "Hey, Chris, one big hug." "CHRIS:" "I don't know if I'm gonna take Twila or Scout to the final two." "I don't know." "My decision could be made at Tribal Council tonight." "We'll now bring in the members of our jury" " Sarge," "Chad, Leann, Ami, Julie and Eliza, voted out at the last Tribal Council." "Long day." "CHRIS:" "Very." "Very long day." "And then you had your final immunity challenge with obviously a lot at stake, so let's go through that." "Chris, the minute Scout goes down, you start talking-- "Let's make a deal."" "Yeah." "Only the deal you wanted to make was for Twila to step down." "It was the perfect deal for me, you know." "If she steps down, then, you know, we both get to rest, but Twila's very thick-skinned and doesn't give up and she fights to the end, and when Scout said, "Hang in there,"" "I didn't think we were so good after Scout said that, so I wasn't about to step down, and I," "I don't blame her for not stepping down." "So, this afternoon, you're a popular guy." "You've got immunity, not a better spot to be in tonight than the one you're sitting in." "Did you get approached?" "Um, actually, no," "I did not get approached." "We went back to camp and they both understood that I was," "I was holding the deck of cards and, you know," "I was the only one that was going to play and, you know," "I still got a decision to make, so..." "I just feel extremely good about both of these people." "There can't be a bad outcome in this game." "They're just amazing people." "Twila, could there be a bad outcome for you tonight?" "Most definitely." "I played the game hard." "I've wanted to win from day one." "I've done everything I can to get where I'm at now, and I don't want to settle for third." "Chris, when you hear the two different sides-- Scout on one hand saying" ""I'm happy, it's fine."" "Twila saying, "I am not done"-- that obviously has to factor in a little bit to you, because you're making a $900,000 decision tonight." "CHRIS:" "Well, I listened to that." "and I respect the way Scout got to this point in the game." "You know, Scout mentally played the game strong, and Scout was willing to change the game, not only for her benefit, but for other people's benefit, and I look at that and then I'll look at Twila, and I see" "how aggressive Twila was in playing the game." "She did what she had to do to get to the final three-- whether it be lie, tell the truth, be loyal, break an alliance, it didn't matter-- and she admits that." "But I'm not going to look at how they played the game." "I'm looking at how I played the game, and I gotta finish." "Then let's get to the vote." "You cannot vote for Chris." "That means, Twila, you can only vote for Scout." "Scout, you can only vote for Twila." "Your votes cancel each other out." "You won't vote." "Chris, you'll cast the only vote and you will do two things simultaneously." "You will vote out the 16th person from this game, and you will decide who's gonna sit next to you at the final Tribal Council." "You will, in effect, choose your opponent." "It is your vote." "Go make it." "I'll go get the vote." "Once the vote is read, the decision is final." "Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately." "I'll read the vote." "The 16th person voted out of Survivor:" "Vanuatu..." "Scout." "You need to bring me your torch." "Scout, the tribe has spoken." "You've gone as far as you can go in this game on your own." "The power now shifts to these six jury members-- and Scout, who becomes tonight our seventh jury member-- now hold your fate in their hands." "We will reconvene for one final Tribal Council tomorrow night." "In the meantime, you have one night left." "Enjoy it." "You've earned it." "Grab your torches." "Head back to camp." "Good night." "I feel really good about how I played the game." "I maintained loyalty and integrity as long as loyalty was there to embrace and when it wasn't, I embraced another alliance and was able to turn the game around, make it a whole lot more exciting and fun," "and I feel really good to have gotten this far and wish Chris and Twila the very best." "This is the last pot of manioc I'll ever make." "This is probably the last time" "I'll ever eat manioc." "With any hope." "This is day 39." "This is it." "I made it." "I turned things around in my favor and it paid off." "CHRIS:" "I am definitely feeling stress on a day that I never imagined I would feel stress." "I was ready to get up today and enjoy the entire day, and I found myself thinking," ""I've got to keep playing the game."" "I've been thinking about Tribal tonight." "Yeah." "I ain't gonna take no crap from any of them, are you?" "I'm going to try not to." "CHRIS:" "I mean, they're not going to run me into the ground because I lasted longer than them." "And I mean, I just know how you are." "Twila is extremely outspoken, and I can use that to my advantage tonight." "I mean, I want them to remember exactly how Twila was:" "just a cutthroat, didn't-take-no-crap kind of player." "I just think about some of the people on the jury taking their disappointment out on us, and..." "They will." "I really don't know if I'm inclined to sit there and let them do that." "I mean, I'll just sit and think" ""Well, I know Twila ain't gonna take no crap, so I'm not gonna take no crap."" "I'm not." "CHRIS:" "Great, Twila, you let them know you don't give a crap and that you come here to win." "Chris isn't gonna do that." "Chris is gonna sit back and let Twila put the last nail in her coffin." "TWILA:" "I'm a little apprehensive about tonight." "I honestly feel like" "I deserve a million because I did play the game the best." "I didn't suck up to anybody." "I didn't pretend to be something that I wasn't." "Don't hold it against me because I outwitted and outplayed you." "I deserve their votes just as much as Chris." "I think I'm ready." "Back to reality reality." "That's right." "It's over with after tonight, okay?" "Yeah." "CHRIS:" "No way is this party coming to an end." "Whoo." "( laughing )" "What an ending." "TWILA:" "I haven't laughed that hard since I'd been here, I don't think." "CHRIS:" "The closer Tribal Council gets, the absolutely the more concerned I'm getting." "You know, in the back of my head, I just keep thinking," ""That women's alliance," you know?" "All of them might just say," ""Hey, look, the only way we can prove this women's alliance worked is for a woman to win this game."" "And just out of spite, they can vote for Twila." "Isn't it funny how I'm actually going to probably miss this place?" "It's been wild, ain't it?" "TWILA:" "The sense of pride that I come out and played this game, when I get out of here, is gonna be with me for a lifetime." "Everything that I will be able to take home with me:" "the memories, being by the ocean and seeing things and doing things" "I've never seen and done before, it's been... it's been an amazing adventure." "CHRIS:" "It's kind of ironic, you know, at the Alinta camp when there was six women and just me." "I wasn't in charge," "I wasn't the chief." "I wasn't making the calls, and that's the opposite of what this place is all about, you know-- that's their heritage, that's what they believe in." "And now it's down to me and a woman." "If, unfortunately, I get second place, being the last man in the game, that's an accomplishment in itself." "I never dreamed I'd be..." "I'd be where I'm at, no way." "And it's still hard, you know, it doesn't quit." "I guess it will quit when I walk off this island and it's completely over." "We now bring in the members of the jury:" "Sarge, Chad," "Leann, Ami," "Julie, Eliza and Scout, voted out at the last Tribal Council." "Chris, Twila, welcome to your final Tribal Council." "One bit of business to do." "Immunity necklace." "Immunity not back up for grabs." "First, let me say congratulations." "You two have done what 16 other people were unable to do in this game-- make it to the final two." "But now, after 39 hard-fought days, the game takes a twist." "Your jury, made up of seven people that you had a hand in voting out, now control your fate in their hands, and based on tonight's final Tribal Council, they will decide which of the two of you they think most deserving" "of the title of sole survivor, and more importantly, the million-dollar check that goes along with that." "Tribal Council is where you are held accountable for your actions." "Expect to be held accountable tonight." "That's why we're here." "Here's how it's going to work." "You two will get a chance to make an opening statement." "This is your first opportunity to plead your case to the jury why do you deserve the title of sole survivor and the million dollars." "The jury will then get their first chance to address you since being voted out." "Once the jury has asked you their questions, you will get one last opportunity to make a closing statement, and then we will vote." "Clear?" "Yep." "Yes." "Chris, opening statement to the jury." "I think I, you know, I think I deserve to win as sole survivor for, you know, many reasons." "I think besides not only being loyal to the alliances that I made throughout the game, think I'm the person that overcome more odds than anybody." "I was the last man standing with six women." "I just think I deserve to win this game because of the odds I overcome." "That's all." "Twila." "I came to this game with one goal, and that goal was to win a million dollars to better my life and my son's." "I played the game to win, I played it hard." "I know I didn't do everything that I should have done and should have done more in some other incidents, but it came from my soul." "Everything I did was to win this million dollars, and that's why I believe" "I should be the sole survivor tonight." "I believe I've earned it." "I worked hard for it." "That's all." "All right." "Jury, in a moment, you're going to get your first opportunity to address" "Chris and Twila since you were voted out of the game." "Give you a minute to think about what you want to say." "JEFF:" "All right." "Jury, it is now your chance to address" "Chris and Twila for the first time since you've been voted out of the game." "Eliza, you're up." "Um, before I address my question to you," "I have a couple of comments." "Twila, I'll start with you." "Congratulations." "You achieved what you set out to do." "You came into this game, saying you would do whatever it took to get to the final two, and that you did." "You were a deceptive, lying bitch throughout this game." "You never treated me with an ounce of respect." "You didn't even speak to me like I deserved your breath." "I might envy your position in the final two, but I do not envy your life." "Now, with that being said, I do think you played a good game, and you were outright about it." "Chris, you, on the other hand, you shocked me." "You shocked me." "Whereas I knew Twila was going to be a deceptive, lying bitch," "I did not know that you were a deceptive lying bitch, too." "You pretended to be my friend." "I mean, you stabbed me in the back with the Julie thing and then you stabbed me in the back again and rubbed salt in the wound-- unnecessary, blatant lies!" "My request tonight from the two of you is, I would like an apology." "Twila, you first." "Eliza, I never talked to you with any disrespect when you respected me." "I never said any bad words to you until the latter part of this week, not at all." "You're right." "You just said mean and hateful and spiteful things behind my back." "All I said was, you talk too damn much, and you do." "That's a lie." "What else was I supposed to have said, Eliza?" "What?" "Oh, my God." "Should I start listing things?" "I'd like to know." "You said that I didn't deserve to be here," "I was a spoiled brat, um, that I..." "But did I not tell you that to your face?" "And I did tell you how I felt." "Is this, is this an apology?" "I mean, if you don't feel that I deserve an apology, then fine, fine." "I'm just getting to the point." "You feel that I'm a lying, deceptive bitch, well, I think you're a spoiled, rotten little child." "And if you don't owe me an apology for how you feel about me, why should I apologize to you for the way you feel about me?" "Okay." "And I just don't feel like I owe you an apology, no, I don't." "Okay." "Chris?" "Eliza, when I made that pact with you standing there," "I didn't intend to do you wrong." "I did it as strategy, and you're right, I owe you an apology." "I broke our pact and I am sorry." "Thank you." "Thanks, Eliza." "Julie." "( sniffling and sighing )" "I thought I'd at least get one sentence out before I started to cry, but I'm feeling abnormally emotional tonight, so..." "( sighs heavily )" "Um, Twila, I saw all your tactics, antics and, I mean," "I tried to get you out of the game, what, like, five, six times, so..." "My energy is directed towards Chris tonight..." "Okay." "...and the fact that I'm either voting for Chris or against Chris." "So, I just want to let you know." "That's fine." "Christopher, um... you approached me as a friend and asked for help with everything to lose." "I helped you as a friend with nothing to gain for myself, and you were the one person who I gave the opportunity to hurt my feelings-- surprise." "I'm here crying." "Um, so..." "I have two questions for you." "First off, there are several occasions where" "I described our relationship, brother-sister, and I don't understand why you had to doll it up that much, to look me so solidly in the eyes and base things on our friendship and on things that I felt were real." "So, that's my first question." "Julie, you were absolutely the hardest... decision I made." "Okay, great, like fabulous, but why the story?" "It was so elaborate." "Because at the time," "I had no intentions of writing your name down;" "at the time my intentions were for me and you to stick together." "You looked out for me, you know, and I felt like it was my turn to look out for you." "It was." "I lied to you, Julie, and, I mean, I can't take it back." "Okay." "Second question:" "When did you start playing me?" "And I want the truth, because this is it." "This is..." "I'm not set on who I'm voting for." "I'm pissed off at you, so tell me, Julie.... what was authentic about our relationship and you?" "I didn't play you, Julie." "I lied to you and I let my heart get in the way, and at the end I didn't even know if I was gonna write your name down, and I decided at the booth, I just..." "I played the game." "I did you wrong, Julie, and I'm sorry I lied to you." "If you disregard anything to do with me," "I understand, but I truly looked at you as a little sister and..." "That's enough." "That's okay." "I'm sorry." "Okay." "Thank you." "Thanks, Julie." "( sniffling )" "Leann, you're next." "Twila." "Yes?" "One of the turning points in the game, particularly for me, was when you decided to turn your back on a four-person alliance and vote me out, and on the day you decided to do that, you, um," "reinforced your loyalty to me, this time using the words," ""I swear to you on my son's life that you have my word."" "Could you explain to me your thought process in betraying my trust and our alliance, and why I should reward you for it with a million dollars?" "I felt that it was supposed to be" "Leann, Ami, Scout and myself." "I, uh, felt when you all turned your back on Scout and brought Julie into the alliance, I felt that you could easily have turned your back on me at any time." "Even though I never did anything to, to make you doubt my trust?" "I didn't trust you all anymore after you brought Julie in, I did not." "I am sorry for that, because I did trust you." "Ami, I never fully trust full wholeheartedly, but I did trust you." "But when you brought Julie into it, I felt like, you know, it's gonna be you three and I'm the one that's going to be sitting on the outside, and I couldn't do it." "So I had to change the strategy and that's why I did what I did in the end, not out of disrespect for you." "Fair enough." "Chris." "It's no secret that from day one, I was pretty much hardcore with the women's alliance, and my intention was to see that through to the end, no matter what." "Convince me to abandon that way of thinking and vote for you tonight." "When, when we merged," "I knew without a doubt, you know, my work was cut out for me." "If I wanted to stay in this game any longer, then I had to look for an opening and a backdoor opened, by who else?" "Twila come to me and offered me a chance to further myself in the game, and I took advantage, you know, when the opportunity came." "I just feel like I persevered, and I think that is the reason why, you know," "I think I'm deserving to win the game." "Thanks." "Ami." "Right now I just see some serious irony in that." "Twila, even though you had a chance to totally and completely make an apology that maybe you didn't believe in, for a million dollars you wouldn't do it, but you'd lie for a million dollars," "you'd break friendships for a million dollars." "You say, um, "Just didn't really trust Ami."" "I don't know where that came from, because you had 100% of my loyalty." "And, Chris, I'm still just baffled at why you took the time to flat-out lie to two people for no reason." "I don't understand it." "Chris, I want to know from you first what attributes you think you have that put you in the seat there, and that you think I don't have putting me standing right here?" "I really don't see me having any qualities any better than you when it comes to this game, I mean, absolutely not." "I think that you're on the jury because you have a soft heart." "I think you're on the jury because" "I didn't give you a break." "You give me a break." "You've let your guard down, you put personal feelings in front of the game, and you know, it was your demise." "Thank you." "Twila, same question." "First of all, I want to start out, if you don't mind, by apologizing to you and Leann for swearing on my son's name." "I should have never brought him into it," "I should never have done that." "I thought of the game and I thought," ""Now, either they're going to respect me" ""for the decision that I've made to further myself in the game and that's why I'm here," but now" "I'm this low-life bitch that nobody likes, and I don't understand that." "Twila, you flat-out lied to us." "You flat-out straight to our face said, I did." ""I'm your friend." "I'm going to be here till the end."" "That's what you did to both of us." "That's not the way I see it." "But that's how I see it." "Just answer the question." "I just want, I want to hear the answer to your question." "Why are you sitting there, why am I standing here?" "Maybe a little bit more harder, a little bit more colder, maybe." "You don't have it in you." "And I have it." "I wear it on my sleeve." "It's not..." "I haven't tried to hide it from any of you." "And maybe that's why I'm here, and you're there." "Thanks, Ami." "Mm-hmm." "Chad, you're up." "Twila, I'll start with you." "I want you to think about your experiences out here the past 39 days, and I want you to think about something that's changed you." "If you're talking about in a bad sense," "I need to watch what I say and how I come across to people, because I've always felt like" "I've had to defend myself all the time, so maybe I need to ease up, back off" " I'm a little hard and quick to judge sometimes, and that's not a good thing." "Chris, same question." "Without a doubt, the one thing that's changing me as a person is experience in playing the game with the final nine people and seeing the genuine qualities people possess when there's a million dollars at stake and how those genuine qualities never falter." "In the latter stages of the game," "I found that the money started talking." "I started looking at getting to the end no matter what, and I feel like the two people that possessed the least amount of those qualities are sitting right up here, and I look at the seven people on the jury." "Everybody sitting over there possesses a genuine quality that... they looked past the million dollars, and that's something I didn't do," "That's something I'll take with me to try to become a better person." "Okay." "Thanks, Chad." "Thanks." "Sarge." "Uh, basically, touché to both of y'all." "You outwitted, you outplayed, you outlasted me." "Um, I'll start with Twila." "First and foremost, I hold myself true to my beliefs and my values-- loyalty, duty, respect and honor-- and I only surround myself with that type of people." "I wouldn't want to see you on a street." "I wouldn't want a phone call." "I never want to see you again, okay, but congratulations because you outplayed me." "Now getting on to my question." "Um, after I sat here and listened, um, you need the million dollars, and I'm 99% sure right now you're probably going to get my vote, okay, but I've got to know" "a million dollars, is that the price tag to cast your son's name straight to hell?" "Is the price tag for casting his name to hell worth a million dollars?" "'Cause you say that you hope your son forgives you." "If my mother did, I'd tell her to kiss my ass, okay?" "So just tell me yes or no, is the price tag" "$1 million?" "No." "Okay, Chris, right now, uh, she needs my help because she needs to buy back that doggone respect, so right now you're probably not going to get my vote." "What I need to know is, where does my friendship stand with you, and does it still stand strong as it was before you found out that I wasn't going to give you a million dollars and will we be sitting at a race someday?" "There's not a price on our friendship." "We developed a friendship from the time we met." "We connected" " I don't care if you vote for me or not." "We'll be friends after this game." "Give your vote to Twila, I don't ..." "We'll be friends after this game." "We'll sit in Charlotte and watch the race." "That's a fact." "You got my word on it." "Cool." "Scout." "Twila, you and I formed an alliance the very first night." "Chris..." "I've been with you 38 days into this game, and I've been with you as each of these members came off, so I know your true response to each of these fallen comrades." "And Twila, to your credit, you're not able to bull ... very much, but I value the integrity of your ability to still speak your truth even though it trips you up and gets you in trouble sometimes." "You can't not be Twila." "And Chris, you are bull ... up to your ears!" "( chuckles )" "I'm not sure where that takes you except it sits you right where you are." "Thanks for the 38-day ride." "It was great." "TWILA:" "Thank you." "Thanks, Scout." "Thanks, jury." "Well, Chris and Twila, you guys have been through the wringer, based on everything you've heard tonight, you know where they're coming from." "I'm gonna give you a second to think about your last words to the jury." "JEFF:" "Okay, Twila, Chris, you've heard from the jury." "The jury has definitely spoken tonight in very clear terms." "You know what is on their mind." "This is your last chance to change a mind." "Twila, you're first." "I didn't come into this game intentionally wanting to deceive or to lie to anyone." "I don't do that back home and anybody that knows me knows my word is good." "Whether you believe that or not, it is good." "All I thought about since I've been here is bettering my life." "That's all I've thought about and how I can do it." "I didn't worry about your feelings," "I didn't worry about your feelings, none of you." "That was selfish and self-centered of me." "People kill for less than what we're playing for right now." "Maybe that sounds hard or cold, and it actually turned me into somebody I don't like." "Sarge, you don't have to rub it in." "You don't have to make me feel any lower than what I already feel for doing what I did." "You don't understand how that's bothered me." "I highly respect you and to hear you say that just kills me." "I apologize to each and every one of you." "It wasn't the game I intended to play." "It was the game that ended up playing me, and, uh... if I could do right again, I would, and for that I apologize." "If you can forgive me, then maybe I can forgive myself." "That's all." "Chris." "Scout, you called me out." "I'm a bull ..." "But you made me realize one thing." "I can't bull ..." "a bull ..." "Good point." "Julie, alls that matters to me is it ain't your vote, that's for damn sure." "I would just like to mend some fences, and I did you wrong, and you're still like my little sister." "And I brought you your hat." "Eliza, you are absolutely right," "I definitely owed you an apology." "What happened with you and Julie makes me feel like" "I don't deserve to be sitting here, that any one of you would probably deserve it more, and that's no bull ..." "I truly feel that way, and I just want to tell you again I'm sorry." "'Cause you give me your word and there's no doubt in my mind, you'd be sitting right here if it wasn't for me." "I was your demise." "Ami and Leann," "I came across an opportunity in the game and I got to sneak in the backdoor because of the very person sitting to my left and because of Scout." "They changed the alliance." "They changed the course of the game, and I took advantage of it." "You're both sitting there because I did what I had to do to benefit myself." "Chad and Sarge, no matter how you vote tonight," "I still made two dear friends, so just vote from your heart, you know, just feel good about who you vote for, that's all." "Okay, it is time, finally, to get to the vote." "It's a little different tonight." "Tonight you are not voting somebody out of the game." "You are voting for a winner." "Chris, Twila, you want to see your name on that parchment tonight." "It is time to vote." "Sarge, you're up." "Psych." "I had to know where our friendship stood." "You know where I stand:" "honor, integrity." "Good job." "Twila, thank you for the experience of a strong, unspoken women's alliance." "We took it to the end of the game." "I love you." "Chris, you definitely screwed me over and you definitely hurt my feelings, but ultimately, I like you better." "I just wish I was the one sitting there next to you." "I hope you win." "Twila, the fact that it comes down to the very end and in your answers, you didn't give any crap answers." "You really said it from your heart." "You only said the things that you meant." "Okay, for the last time," "I'll go get the votes." "Well, I know it's been a long 39 days and a long, respectful, but certainly emotional, final Tribal Council." "I would love to read these tonight, but it's not gonna happen." "Going to have to wait till we get back to the U.S.-- I'll see you there." "This is where I get off." "( tribal music playing )" "( applause and cheering )" "( cheering )" "All right, let's do it." "( cheering and applause )" "I know you guys are ready to get to this." "Nothing left to be said." "Certainly put through the wringer at the final Tribal, but fair to say you both had it coming, right?" "BOTH:" "Right." "All right." "Let's get to the vote." "Tonight you want to see your name on that parchment." "Tonight the jury voted for a winner." "There are seven votes." "You need four to win." "I'll read the votes." "First vote..." "Chris." "( applause and cheering )" "Chris." "Two votes Chris." "Twila." "( applause and cheering )" "Two votes Chris, one vote Twila." "Twila." "We're tied." "Two votes Chris, two votes Twila." "Chris." "Three votes Chris, two votes Twila." "The winner of Survivor:" "Vanuatu," "Chris." "( applause and cheering )" "Oh, my God, I can't believe it!" "( all chanting ):" "Chris!" "Chris!" "Chris!" "Chris!" "Chris!" "Chris..." "Yeah!" "( cheering and applause continues )" "Well, he's certainly one of the most unlikely" "Survivor winners ever." "Chris came back from a lousy performance at the first challenge, he infiltrated the women's alliance, and ultimately beat the women at their own game." "It was an emotional final Tribal Council." "There's a lot to talk about." "For starters, what happened to the women's alliance?" "And has anybody forgiven Twila about the big lie she told, and what's the difference between that and all the other lies that Chris told?" "We are live at CBS in Hollywood." "The reunion show is next." "You question a woman's character, you question a woman's ability, she'll snap your neck." "You open up your heart, show a woman you're vulnerable, then they start thinking with their heart." "That's when they open up that backdoor." "That's what's happened this time." "( applause and cheering )" "That is just one of the reasons" "Chris is sitting here tonight as winner of Survivor:" "Vanuatu-- your ability to read people." "We have everybody here." "It is the reunion show." "We are live in Hollywood." "And, Chris, looking back on this, rough start for you on that balance beam..." "CHRIS:" "Without a doubt." "...then the women's alliance." "You get down to this last guy." "Was there a key moment anywhere in that game that changed things for you and changed your track?" "Yeah, absolutely." "After the merge and the women began voting off... started out with Rory and their pecking order went straight down to me." "I think the turning point for me was after Chad got voted off, and I was put in a situation back at camp where, you know," "I had to watch what I said." "And basically, there was a time during the game when Julie had asked me a question before a challenge, and her question was, since she jumped back over the fence with the women, was: "Do you hate me?"" "And I said, "No, no, I don't hate you, you know," "I'm really disappointed."" "And that was the way I left it." "JEFF:" "You played the disappointment card." "Yeah, I pulled out a sympathy card, and Julie" " Julie was absolutely, you know, the person that campaigned for me, with Ami, and little did I know how strong" "Leann's word in their alliance was until we just watched it, but..." "JEFF:" "But one of the points in that is you did a good job of figuring out what people wanted to hear or what they needed to hear." "Had you said to Julie, "Yeah, I'm mad,"" "she'd have probably said, "Well, tough."" "And then you played this big brother:" ""I'm just really disappointed."" "Yeah, well, Julie had caught a wrath from Chad." "Chad was extremely upset with Julie when they voted off Rory, and, you know, Sarge..." "Sarge had a little bit of trouble containing himself." "JEFF:" "So you saw an opening to go a different way?" "I saw an opening to keep my mouth shut, because there's six women and we had no control of the game." "Julie..." "Yes." "he pays you back by putting his arm around you, stroking your hair and then cutting your throat." "Yeah, and I actually, and I wined and dined him before he gave... before he did cut my throat." "JEFF:" "And then who'd you vote for?" "I voted for Chris-- because he played me so hard." "I wasn't going to vote out of spite." "So you were able to separate personal feelings at that moment and still look and say he did play me." "Yes." "And you said somewhere in there, you gave somebody an opportunity, you picked somebody to trust..." "Right." "Which you ultimately have to do." "Right." "Yeah." "It was the person who..." "who... who got you." "Exactly." "Eliza, basically the same story." "Yup." "He comes to you and says, "I've never broken my alliance."" "He does the same thing-- little pat on the back, rub of the shoulders, pull out the knife, boom, you're gone." "Yup." "Who did you vote for?" "I voted for Chris." "Now, was your vote for Chris or against Twila?" "A little bit of both, but it was a lot against Twila, I have to say." "I mean, I was pretty... pretty upset with her." "I felt like she had treated me with no respect throughout the game and she had been really awful to me." "You know, throughout watching this," "I have grown to love Twila and, you know," "I don't harbor animosity, but at the time I was furious with her." "And, Chris, did that factor into your decision of who to take?" "Were you looking and saying," ""Here's who I think I'll do better against in the final?"" "Oh, absolutely, every day that went by." "You know, God bless Twila." "She's Twila and, you know, you define Twila and just watch the game and you'll define Twi..." "Just, um, absolutely." "Twila's outspoken, and Twila wasn't shy about telling somebody what she thought, especially with Eliza, and with six women, you know, absolutely." "She was..." "What you're saying truth is, I most of the time said the truth, but you lied like a dog and you won." "Yup." "Is that what you're saying?" "I see how it works." "That sounds good to me." "( applause and cheers )" "JEFF:" "I think that's pretty clear at this point." "TWILA:" "Thank you very much." "CHRIS:" "What she said..." "Leann, you also voted for Chris." "Yes." "Well, it was twofold." "Um, Chris..." "I mean, there was no way a guy was getting to the final four, much less the final two." "He had to have played." "Kudos to him, and secondly, I promised Twila" "I'd never write her name down." "( laughter and applause )" "CHAD:" "Good one." "Good one." "JEFF:" "So, again a bit of a vote against Twila." "Your vote sounds like it was as much against Twila as it was for Chris." "As much as I want to separate the feelings and game," "I found it very difficult and, yeah, my feelings were hurt." "On the flip side, Ami, in spite of everything you said, you voted for Twila." "I couldn't help it." "She played me and I didn't think" "I could be played, to be honest." "She got me." "She got me, and she got me right in the face, and, to me, she deserved it." "She got me straight on." "Did anything of your vote for her have to do with the women's alliance and just voting for a woman?" "No, it definitely didn't, because Chris played an awesome game, but it came down to" " Twila got me." "Chris had a little bit to do in it, but of course he would." "She flat-out outplayed me, so," "I didn't have anything against Chris at all." "I thought he played a great game." "I didn't read the last vote." "The last vote was for Chris." "You got two votes, one was Ami and one was Scout." "Scout." "Same question." "Was it the women's alliance that kept you in there voting for Twila?" "I had a real strong alliance with Twila." "I kept it all the way to the end, and when the final vote came down," "I couldn't give a million dollars for that much ... ( laughter )" "And I love you, Scout." "JEFF:" "Sarge, you voted for Chris." "Question is, was it, "I'm voting for a man all the way," or was it based on Chris, or was it against Twila?" "'Cause that's what I sensed." "No." "It was..." "It was..." "It was never a man-woman thing." "I don't..." "I do not look at anybody, man-woman." "Everybody's equal." "What I looked at it is, I would never surround myself with a person that has no values." "Um, I-I live my life on a straight-line values-- honor, discipline, and if someone does not live on that wavelength, then I will not surround myself, I will not reward that..." "JEFF:" "And you're talking specifically about Twila lying?" "Yeah." "So here's my question." "Here's my..." "Okay." "Uh, uh, let me back up." "It's not about the end." "The end had nothing to do with it, it had nothing to do with her son James, great boy, everything." "It had nothing to do with that-- it had to do with the... at the point in the game when she turned on me, okay?" "And that's where my vote came from." "So nothing to do with the lie?" "No." "Not..." "Because that's what you said at final Tribal Council." "You-You made this big speech, and my question to you was," ""For a guy who lives with this moral code, you based your whole comment on hearsay."" "Something that happened after you were out of the game." "Oh, par-partly it did, okay?" "At Tribal Council, that was anger speaking." "That was, um..." "You know, that was anger speaking." "Now, after I loo..." "after I thought about it, okay, it-it came from that, but it came from who..." "I guess who lied more, because they both lied their teeths off." "Yeah." "Fair enough." "Okay, but it was never men and women, never." "JEFF:" "All right, Chad, your vote for Chris, why?" "I looked at the big picture." "I had nothing against Twila personally, but I looked at how well this guy played the game, and, I... from every season" "I've seen..." "I've seen every pla... ( applause and cheering ) and I think this guy played the best of anyone, and he's good at challenges..." "Ami?" "...and the whole picture." "Women's alliance." "You start out, we have men versus women, and a group of women get together, and they say," ""Let's do something that's never been done." "Let's all stick together."" "And you do a good job." "We get seven-three at the merge." "By the time you get to the jury, you have five women, and you have a woman on the final two, and still a guy wins, a guy who lied to every woman here." "Why is it so hard...?" "( applause and cheering )" "Why is it so hard to keep a women's alliance together?" "Uh, I really just think it's hard for women to really support-support each other and believe in each other." "It's been a long time of women not really standing for each other, being their best, and we-we... we lost it." "We really did." "We started wondering what was going on behind closed doors, and who was talking about who, and that's where we lost it." "We didn't focus on, let's just get four women to the final four." "JEFF:" "Leann, why do you think women have such a hard time?" "Um, well, you know, it wasn't that we wanted to take all the women and-and have them at the end, and-and get rid of all the guys first, but the goal was-- at least my goal was" "to go to the final four with all women." "And it was working for a while, and it got screwed up when they voted me off." "( laughter )" "Julie, is there a difference in how Chris played this game, in that Chris, it seemed like, made people feel as though he did have personal relationships with them?" "JULIE:" "Right." "When he actually didn't, but everybody else did." "And I'm just figuring this out." "I mean, I thought..." "I don't even know if you have feelings... sometimes." "I'm still..." "I have feelings." "I have feelings, and, um..." "I have feelings." "I have feelings..." "( laughter )" "JEFF:" "We'll let you off on that." "All right." "Well, not since Johnny Fairplay has, uh, somebody lied on a family member's name." "We all remember that." "This season, it was Twila." "She paid for it, maybe a million dollars." "Has anybody forgiven her?" "We will find out." "The Survivor:" "Vanuatu Reunion Show continues right after this." "( applause and cheering )" "( band plays upbeat tune )" "( applause and whistling )" "I came to this game with one goal, and that goal was to win a million dollars to better my life and my son's." "TWILA:" "On my son, I swear-- and you all know how much I love that boy..." "TWILA:" "I swore to Ami and Leann on my son's name that I was with them 100%." "But maybe if I win a million dollars," "God will forgive me." "( laughing ):" "I don't know." "I hope." "( applause )" "( applause and whistling )" "Well, Twila..." "Twila... so your comment was," ""But maybe if I win, you know, God will forgive me."" "You didn't win-- regrets now on that?" "You talked about it at final Tribal." "I had regrets from the get-go." "I never..." "We forgive you." "I..." "Thank you." "I forgive you." "I never... ( scattered applause )" "When I said that, I'd seen the game coming down as..." "Ami and Leann would have been one and two, uh, Julie and I would have been third or fourth." "JEFF:" "Well, you don't have to justify the reasons; it was a strategic move, you played that card." "TWILA:" "But at the... well, at the time, it wasn't a strategic..." "It was the honest truth at the time, because I didn't see the game changing." "So, when the game..." "When there was an opening, when they decided to take Eliza out before Chris, then that gave an opening." "By that... that time, it was too late." "I couldn't take it back." "LEANN:" "We all decided to take Eliza." "Yes, when we decided to take Eliza, it was too late." "I couldn't take it back, so I was screwed." "JEFF:" "Ami, why such a big reaction to that lie in a game in which lying is part of it, and Chris lied so much, so many more times and to everybody?" "TWILA:" "And he swore on his family's name." "( audience shouting ) AMI:" "Well, I-I..." "I just have to say that I didn't expect anything from Chris." "We didn't really have an alliance." "We didn't have anything." "I expected a lot from Twila." "( scattered jeering )" "And swearing on a family member is big to me." "I've lost a family member, I know how much it's worth, so that was a tough one for me to handle." "TWILA:" "Did you not hear Chris swear on his family's name?" "He didn't swear on 'em to me, but it..." "Oh, please." "Yeah, it doesn't matter." "She was playing the game." "For her, it was the perfect thing to do." "The perfect thing to do." "For me, different." "Scout, what's your take on the lie?" "The reaction to the lie?" "Well, the reaction to the lie-- a lot..." "The game brings out lying in you, but the thing that really puked me out was all the self-righteousness that came out about people." "Whoa...!" "( applause )" "Whoa!" "And here's my deal." "If people are so self-righteous, everybody are so self-righteous, and they're so loving and so harmonious, then why don't they just forgive her?" "God did, I do." "Forgiven." "( applause and cheering )" "AMI:" "I obviously did forgive her." "I've forgiven Twila." "I realize that was her game." "I have totally forgiven Twila." "It still doesn't mean that it meant any less to me." "I totally forgave Twila." "JEFF:" "Let's go to, uh..." "let's..." "James is here in the audience-- Twila's son-- so we'll go to the, uh, the final word on this." "( applause and cheering )" "James, stand up." "So, you-you had to live with this." "Your mom uses your name." "What's your take on it?" "She was playing a game." "I mean, I love her to death still, whether she won or lost." "( applause and cheering ) I mean, that's..." "I love her, and-and she was doing the best she could, like she sw... you know, she's always done her whole life, trying to help me out as much as I can-- as she can, and better herself," "so, that's..." "that's it." "I mean, she's playing a game." "I don't, I don't..." "I'm not mad about it." "JEFF:" "Thanks, James." "( applause and cheering ) Yeah!" "I have to say that-- and this is a bit of an editorial comment, but that happens all the time on this show" "Twila probably came into this show, out of anybody who's been on it, with more need..." "Right." "...in terms of truly needing it, Right." "...knowing that she works seven days every single week." "Three jobs." "And doesn't make a lot of money." "AUDIENCE MEMBER:" "Lisa needs the money!" "( laughing ):" "Lisa needs the money." "Where she at?" "JEFF:" "But what I'm wondering about is, when..." "You don't see that when you're in the game, and when you..." "when you look back on the show, and you watch it play out, did anybody have a change of opinion?" "Julie, do you have a change of opinion now on Twila?" "Completely." "Oh, God." "I wanted to get Twila out, I mean, three or four times." "I watch it, she's so endearing, she's real, she was honest." "I was completely disillusioned by Chris, completely." "Twila came straight every time." "And I-I can't believe I didn't see it." "( whooping ) I love Twila." "I think she's a great player." "JEFF:" "Eliza... ( applause and cheering ) Yeah!" "Eliza, you guys had differences based on a lot of things probably outside of that lie, but has there..." "was... just from you," "I'm just curious about watching Twila because she was so unique in that, as someone said, "Twila can't not be Twila."" "SCOUT:" "Right." "Did-Did you look at that and say, "Okay," "I'm starting to understand this woman a little more?"" "Um, a little bit." "I mean, I thought that I had, you know, moved past it and-and gotten over it, and then the last couple of episodes, you know, watching her be so childish about the bananas, and then watching her, you know, just-just berate me in camp," "telling me I didn't deserve to be there, that I just, you know, that I was a terrible person, whatever else she said about me, you know, it made it hard, it made it hard." "It didn't endear me to Twila, no, not especially." "( laughter ) JEFF:" "Ami, you were saying, and I-I kind of interrupted you, that you did have a change of heart." "Is that based on seeing what you don't see on the show?" "Because a lot of interviews are done on this show are in private." "That's the whole point." "You don't know what people are saying about you, and then when you watch it, you get an idea of who their true self is." "No." "I think I had a pretty good idea of their true sel... of her true self especially." "Um, I just let emotions get in the way in certain points, but I-I still think Twila is the same person that I started the game with." "JEFF:" "How about you, Leann, any change of heart?" "You were... you were upset with her at the end, obviously." "Definitely." "Um..." "I-I guess, you know," "I-I don't feel like Twila's a bad person." "I just felt a little hurt." "I mean, I felt a little hurt, and not necessarily..." "That wasn't necessarily why I voted for Chris." "I voted for Chris because he played really well." "I, um, you know," "I-I had a hard time getting over it, just because when you spend time with someone, and you're... you're consoling them when they're crying, or you're making a sign for her son for his birthday," "you get caught up, you think it's a real friendship, so, yeah, when they betray you and lie to you, you feel a little hurt." "I mean, I couldn't help it." "But now, you know, I'm-I'm ready to get over it." "I'm willing, absolutely." "JEFF:" "Sarge..." "LEA:" "I know." "Obviously, Twila was very upset and hurt because she respected you so much, and she asked for your forgiveness, and so far, it doesn't seem like there's any chance that's happening." "No." "Um, I did have a change of heart at the end of the game, okay, and I've already told Twila I forgive her, that what's gone on between her and, uh, James," "they'll deal with it on their own." "I forgive her because I'm not a jud..." "I mean, who am I to judge anybody, um, you know?" "SCOUT:" "Amen." "Yeah!" "Um..." "So, I wasn't talking to you anyway, Scout, but, um," "I mean, I'm talking to Twila." "She's just as bad." "But, uh, I mean, she, uh..." "I mean, she is a good person, and, uh, from day one, from day one, when she came into Lopevi, we bonded, we talked." "I knew how many hours she worked." "So, uh, I mean, I respect her, and I forgive her wholeheartedly, and she's-she's a true friend of mine now." "TWILA:" "Yes." "JEFF:" "Uh, good." "I like to see that." "Well, if you think the emotional toll on a survivor is tough, wait till you hear the story of a survivor loved one." "We are going to meet Chris's fiancée and find out from her why every Thursday night was followed by a Friday morning therapy session." "( laughter ) We'll be right back." "( applause and cheering )" "( band plays upbeat tune )" "( singing upbeat song in foreign language )" "During this season of Survivor, the loved ones were required to participate in an immunity challenge, and at this point in the game," "Chris thought he was going to be voted out if he and his fiancée lost, and they did." "This is what happened." "Survivors, ready." "Go!" "Come on, Lorie, walk faster!" "Stop!" "Lorie, no, no!" "Lorie, there, there!" "Come on, baby!" "I think this goes down here." "Ami wins immunity." "All right." "This is Chris's fiancée Lorie." "Here's the deal." "The survivors aren't supposed to talk to anybody at all about anything, including loved ones." "So, you leave Vanuatu." "You think, "We've lost the challenge."" "Chris told you in no uncertain terms, "I'm going home."" "Exactly." "You go home and think just that, right?" "Yes." "Correct." "And when he comes home, what does he tell you?" "That he got voted off that night." "Oh, he did?" "Yes." "So he let you believe that happened." "Yes." "Yes." "So he's..." "Yes." "He did." "So, first of all, Chris just got outed for telling you something, but it was a lie, so he's going say it's okay, 'cause Exactly." "that's his character; we already know that about him." "Right." "Yes." "( laughter )" "And, and you were very upset, though." "I remember when you left the challenge, this was not "aw shucks."" "You were devastated." "Very much." "I knew he was the last guy standing." "I just knew, with all those women, that women stick together." "And so, every Thursday night, you're watching this, and when it gets time for this challenge, what I thought was interesting in talking with Chris is, you're trying to say, you know, seven's pretty good, seventh out's not bad." "But he doesn't tell you anything." "You didn't know he was final two until tonight." "Oh, absolutely not." "I didn't know." "I didn't know." "So, uh..." "I-I literally thought on Thanksgiving night that we were taking the red-eye to New York." "So you could do your interviews for the press." "Exactly, for The Early Show Friday morning." "Chris can lie to anyone." "He's so good." "Julie, obviously, the emotional toll on somebody like Lorie's tough because they don't even know what they are getting into and then they find out they're in an immunity challenge." "What about for you guys-- physically and emotionally, is there any way to actually prepare for this show?" "JULIE:" "You watch Survivor." "You know the outline of Survivor-- outwit, outlast, outplay-- but yet for me, there's no parallel world." "I went in and human nature took over." "I started caring for these people and you have faith that you want to believe in them." "I did." "I mean, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I mean, it was hard and... that you can't explain the emotional component of this from sitting and watching it on TV." "After you were out there 36 days..." "Yes." "...learn anything about yourself that you really took home?" "Completely, um, and about other people." "You can't really tell where people draw their line of trust or, or beliefs, you know." "You only know where yours are, and that's what I gained from this experience." "Is knowing where yours is?" "Knowing where mine is." "Ami, how about you?" "Take anything away from this game that's still with you?" "Well, first I have to say Lorie's tears saved his butt because all of us ladies were like, "Oh, God," ""poor Lorie, she's going think it's all her fault." "It's so sad..."" "Well, you know why she thought it was her fault." "Because Chris says..." "JULIE:" ""It's your fault."" "AMI:" "Yes, totally, totally." "He says..." "No." "Well, Chris says, "I'm sorry I lost,"" "subtext meaning, "I'm sorry you lost."" "Yeah, you were pretty brutal about it." "But at the same time, she-she won that for him because he stayed in longer and it was one of the reasons was our heart." "Like, "Oh, gosh, we feel so bad."" "I see what you're saying." "In the game." "Yeah." "We felt so bad that she felt so horrible-- at least I did-- that she felt so bad that she thought she lost it for him." "What about yourself?" "Um, the biggest thing I learned about myself was the quicker you forgive, the better you feel, because I had so much anger and hate towards Twila for, for a while, and the second I just let that go," "just completely let it go and realized it's a game, this and that-- ( sighs )-- the whole world was lifted off my shoulders, the second I learned how to forgive." "( applause )" "Rory, how about for you?" "Very colorful in this game." "You had some highs and you had some lows." "I had a lot of highs and lows." "Anything you took away from this that you're different now as a result of this experience?" "Well, um, I really need to be true to myself, and no matter how hard you try to put on a facade or try to play the game, your true colors are gonna come out in this game." "I realize that I need to maybe hold my tongue just as Twila does." "We need to learn that same lesson a little bit more." "But when that's part of your personality and you're independent, that's what's going to come shining through." "It's been a..." "I just want to thank God for bringing all of us home safely, uh, especially in light of everything that we've got going on." "( applause ) Leann..." "You had you were in this thing, then you had the rug pulled out from under you and you've made a couple of comments tonight that lead me to believe you've thought a lot about what happened out there and your part in it." "Um, oh, and in so many different dimensions." "I mean, strategy, the game, what could I have done different, that thing, but yet the whole experience itself was... it happened in a, in a time of my life that was transitional and I came out feeling empowered," "like I can do anything." "It was really, I mean, I'll never forget it." "It was fantastic." "Sarge, you were one of a kind, my friend." "And, uh, what... what-what's your experience?" "I don't know if you would take anything from this game, but if you look back on it, what did you take out of it?" "I took out of the game a new outlook on civilians, okay, because... ( laughter )" "I mean, 18-and-a-half..." "18-and-a-half years, 18-and-a-half years I've been living a life where you do what you're told when you're told, you know, and there's no question, and someone..." "I learned that someone can say no." "And, you know, I learned that, you know, that there's people out there that have no clue about their future." "They live day-to-day." "I mean, they, their occupation is, is, um, reality game star." "Rory's pointing at John K." "Yeah, I mean, John K., he came into the game flat broke and he... he didn't pull no punches." "He said, "I'm flat broke."" "He said, "I'm a, you know, I'm an aspiring model and I got to..."" "So, I mean, I learned that there's people out there that are different, and I have to be more diversified about my view of people, and I-I, you know, I like to, you know..." "In two years, I'll be a civilian, so I've got to learn a lot." "All right." "( applause )" "Well, up next, this guy is so good, the rest of his tribe mates didn't know he had a prosthetic leg until he told them." "That's next, but first, here's a little pig wrestling." "( pigs squealing )" "( pigs squealing )" "Lisa's got a big pig!" "You guys agree that I had a pretty good run down here." "I didn't fall or anything." "( applause and cheering )" "Chad, coming into this game, when we met you in casting, we talked about the leg, and we said, "You know, we want you on the show, but you're obviously going to have a big problem."" "You're going to have to convince people that this is not a liability." "You set out to do that, and it seemed like it almost worked too well." "Yeah." "I wanted to prove, not prove myself, but demonstrate what I was capable of, but at one point, it just became a non-issue, and then I kind of wanted to backtrack and say," ""Hey, look, this is kind of impressive, you know."" "( laughter )" ""Well, you know, look what I can do."" "It's pretty true." "You're probably as physically agile as 90% of anybody that we've had on the show, man or woman." "( applause and cheering )" "Was there a reason connected to your leg that you wanted to be on...?" "You had a rare form of cancer, that's how you lost the leg." "It was briefly talked about in the show." "CHAD:" "Synovial sarcoma." "it's called, so..." "Was there a connection or did you want to do the show separately of that?" "I've wanted to do this Survivor for years." "My wife wouldn't hear of it at one point." "We had the kids, right, okay?" "But, yeah, but I knew that once after I had surgery," "I knew, first of all, it would be something to get me noticed." "Secondly, I said this is going to be a great platform to show people what, you know, people with disabilities are capable of." "So, I was just happy to be able to do it, it's great." "JEFF:" "Speaking of, uh, of disabilities," "Scout, I've never seen any-- no one's ever made it to the final three hobbling along like you did, and it turns out, you go back home, it turns out you have a, uh, the wrong-sized kneecap in?" "No, I have the wrong-sized knee." "My artificial knee did not fit me, so I had to have a brand-new one put in two months ago." "And, you know, I played this game 20 to 40 years older than everybody, dragging my leg around, and, uh, it was an interesting thing, 'cause what I learned to do was prop myself up." "I used to work with handicapped people, and just to keep myself coming and be in good spirits." "What was the reaction when you went home?"
