"So, Rob, you have immunity." "Huge decision." "You can talk about your relationship with Amber all you want, this is still a game." "This is still a strategic decision, one way or another." "ROB:" "Strategically, I mean, I don't know necessarily that I even have a shot of winning against either of them." "JEFF:" "Jenna, how shocked would you be if I came back and the vote said Amber?" "I'd probably die of shock." "That would be the biggest shock of my life." "But these two are airtight." "And I think it's a lot romantic as it is strategic." "But I think Boston Rob is actually wary of going up against Amber in the Final Two, and his chances with me would be better." "How does that make you feel, Amber, to hear that?" "I think he's thought through every decision 100% the entire time he's been out here." "And whether or not his feelings for me help make the decision of keeping our alliance together in this Final Two," "I mean, if it was me, there is no decision to be made." "So you're able to separate any romantic feelings you might have for Rob from honoring an alliance that is about the game?" "Yeah." "I think I've been in control of my emotions for Rob and in control of my strategic decisions in this game for sure." "JEFF:" "Rob, are you able to do the same thing?" "Absolutely. 100%." "No doubt about it." "Okay." "Let's get to the vote." "Here is how it's going to work." "Boston Rob has immunity." "You can't vote for him." "Jenna, you can only vote for Amber." "Amber you can only vote for Jenna." "Your votes cancel each other out." "So the only person who will vote is Rob." "With one vote, you're going to vote out the 16th person from this game." "But what you are really doing with that vote is deciding who you are going to sit next to as part of the Final Two." "It's time to make that vote." "You're up." "I'll go get the vote." "Once the vote is read, the decision is final." "The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately." "I'll read the vote." "The 16th person voted out, and the final member of our jury" " Jenna." "Need to bring me your torch." "Jenna, the tribe has spoken." "Well, congratulations." "You have gone as far as you can go in this game." "The power now shifts to the jury." "Seven people you had a hand in voting out now hold your fate in their hands." "You have one final night in Panama." "Enjoy it, and I will see you tomorrow for final Tribal Council." "Grab your torches, head to camp." "This time I'm very proud of the way I played the game." "I didn't get blindsided." "I think I was more observant, more strategic and I had a lot more fun, that's for sure." "38 days out of 39 feels pretty good." "But I'm going to relive that stupid foot move for the rest of my life because it's the difference of a million dollars." "AMBER:" "To be able to spend 39 days now with a person who always makes you happy, always makes you feel completely safe in any situation... always makes you feel important and proud of yourself is just amazing." "Hey." "What?" "We're the Final Two." "I know, I told you that this afternoon after Jenna stepped off." "Yeah, but now it's like... there's nobody else here." "It's just you and me." "They're gone." "AMBER:" "I came into this game, and within the first couple of minutes" "Rob and I had formed an alliance." "And over the first couple of days there was a lot of flirting going on, and it turned into something real." "And now we have an amazing bond." "And I'm so glad that that was my strategy in the beginning because look what I ended up with." "We came as far as we can." "It's not up to us anymore." "Everything we did, we did it by the book." "It's over, it's over and done with." "ROB:" "15 minutes after the game started, we were able to work as a team." "Even when we got separated and weren't together, we were still able to work through it as a team." "I mean, in a game where trust is fleeting to have a partnership with someone, an alliance with someone that you can trust, that's huge." "They thought we were, you know, screwing around, flirting, da-da-da..." "Little did they know." "They never had a clue." "They never seen it coming." "We were playing the game, too." "They're going to hate us when this is over." "They're all going to hate us." "Well, cheers." "Cheers." "Cheers on our victory." "Cheers to us." "ROB:" "It captured the moment." "That's a good one." "That's my favorite one." "You look dirty." "The game was over." "I mean, what a huge relief." "What a huge weight off your shoulders to know that now it's in the jury's hands." "We're done voting people off." "We're done strategizing." "Now we can just sit back, relax and enjoy that last day." "And I love that." "ROB:" "I'm completely at peace right now, you know that?" "Mm-hmm, me, too." "I feel... 100% relaxed." "I'm not worrying about anything that's going on tonight." "Nothing." "I'm not even thinking about it." "I'm sure I will when it gets down to it, but right now, I'm just kind of like..." "Good picture." "AMBER:" "We're taking in every last moment." "We're not really taking anything for granted." "So going to one of our little favorite spots and just enjoying it one last time, and knowing that nobody else was around, it was just our island." "Just a great, great feeling." "The black one or the blue one?" "I don't like the black ones." "You don't like the black ones?" "Well, I mean, not as much." "Our last fish." "This guy's going to be the last fish I eat." "Last supper over here today." "Last lunch." "I don't know how I ever made it without Rupert out here." "Who would have known I could actually fish and clean them and cook them and fend for myself?" "Still alive." "You know I said in the beginning also that this game Survivor, was basically like Charles Darwin's premise, survival of the fittest." "The species that's best able to adapt to certain situations will outlive the others." "And I think as a team," "Amber and I were most able to adapt to certain situations." "Maybe they'll give us both a million." "You never know." "There is a very important night coming up." "And there are a lot of anxious people who are really looking forward to grilling us." "I hope I'm not forced into saying why they should pick me over Rob." "ROB:" "See, this time, the jury is made up of people who know me, and they know how I am." "I'm sure people took this game very, very personal, and that's their own frickin' problem." "I outwitted, I outlasted, and I feel I outplayed them all." "The feeling that I have inside me right now is worth the sleep deprivation, the lack of food, the suffering, the highs, the lows of the game, it's worth everything." "Look at these socks." "They've been good to us, huh?" "AMBER:" "The way the day is ending with this rain and being miserable is, of course, bringing on the miserable feelings of going to Tribal Council." "I think the vibe of the jury tonight is going to be pretty cold, you know, they came out here with their second chance, and the fact that they didn't get to finish it and we did..." "I don't think they're going to make this easy for us at all." "I think the jury would love to see Rob and I squirm." "ROB:" "It's been quite an adventure." "And now that we're leaving..." "I feel both a little bit of sadness, but definitely joy." "I did everything I wanted to do out here." "I did it to the best of my ability." "I gave 110% every single day." "And I'm sitting in the Final Two with Amber." "I'm proud of the way I played, and I have no regrets." "Bugs are still killing me." "Amber, Rob." "AMBER:" "Hi, Jeff." "Jeff." "Have a seat." "We'll now bring in your jury" "Lex, Kathy, Alicia," "Shii Ann, Big Tom," "Rupert and Jenna-- voted out at the last Tribal Council." "Well, congratulations." "You outwitted, outplayed and outlasted your 16 other tribe mates." "And after 39 long, tough, emotional days, it comes down to this." "Tonight, your jury-- seven people that you had a hand in voting out-- now hold your fate in their hands." "They will decide which one of the two of you walks out of here with bragging rights as winner of Survivor:" "All-Stars and the million dollar check that goes with it." "Here's how it's going to work." "You'll both get a chance to make an opening statement." "Convince these guys why it should be you that gets the million dollars." "The jury will then get their first opportunity to address you since being voted out." "After listening to everything that's been said, you'll get a final comment-- one last chance to win them over." "Then we'll vote." "Clear?" "Let's get started." "Opening comments, Rob." "All right." "Obviously, uh, the last 39 days have been long, emotional." "And you're sitting over there, and I guarantee you guys are all pissed off to be over there." "I didn't want to let personal relationships interfere in this game." "When the merge happened, I had a situation where I made a promise to someone that I wasn't able to keep, because of promises I made to some other people." "In the end, that's where everything started to go south for me." "Obviously, when you have a jury that you have to vote out, it's going to come back to haunt you in one way or the other." "But I would like you guys to consider how I played the game as a player-- always trying to do well for my team;" "at the same time, trying to look out for myself." "Thank you." "Thanks, Rob." "Amber." "Hi, guys." "Um, I came into the game saying that I knew it was going to be harder, because this time around, I was going to be playing with people that I knew, instead of just strangers." "And, you know, I said I didn't come out here to make friends." "I didn't come out here to-- gosh, you know-- have a relationship with a guy." "I came out here to win a million dollars." "Little did I know all these little bonuses came along with it." "So, I think the reason why" "I'm sitting here right now is luck, all of you guys for not voting me off and because of my alliance with Rob." "Those are the three things that got me here." "And I know that you guys probably all have sore feelings." "I know I had sore feelings when I sat in the jury." "I just wanted to let you know that I got out of this game what I really wanted to do, and I'm satisfied." "All right." "Jury, it's now in your court." "In a moment, you will get a chance to address" "Rob and Amber for the first time since being voted out." "I'm going to give you a moment to think about what you want to say." "JEFF:" "Okay, it is time now for you to face your jury." "It's the first time they've had a chance to say anything to you since being voted out." "Lex, you're up first." ""It's just a game."" "That's something we probably all said a thousand times while we were out here." "And I'm sure that for both of you, it was an excuse that helped wash away the guilt as you played the game the way that you played it." "You know what?" "That phrase, "It's just a game"" "is a big lie." "It's not just a game." "For all of us out here, for all of you, it's life." "And the line between game and life is not cut and dried." "Life blurs into the game constantly." "This game exposes who we are as people to the core." "It's like truth serum." "And I think the way you play this game is representative of the kind of person you are." "The hardest lesson I learned out here was about friendship and betrayal." "And I think the true measure of a man is what kind of friend he is." "What kind of a friend are you, Rob?" "What kind of a friend were you to me?" "You asked me to do you a favor-- bro to bro, friend to friend-- and I did the only thing I could do, and that was to answer the call of a friend in need." "You repaid that by putting a knife in my back." "As far as this game is concerned," "I lost, and you both beat me." "No sour grapes, no bitterness." "With all sincerity," "I will congratulate both of you for being the final two, but as I see it, as good as your game was, you sold out your values, you sold out your character, and you sold out your friends" "for a stack of greenbacks." "I hope it was worth it, 'cause that money will never be enough to buy it all back." "Kathy." "Um, when you got off Survivor:" "Marquesa," "I distinctly remember that you were so concerned about how people perceived you." "What I ask of you today is after this game-- where you took friends to advance to a place, and you killed friendships to get there-- what will people think of you now?" "Are you concerned about it, and where is it?" "Yeah." "I'm concerned about it." "Uh..." "To be completely honest with you," "I don't know where it is." "I'm still floored by Lex's thing right now." "Uh..." "Here's the thing, Kat." "Looking back, I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the game anymore." "I mean, somewhere along the way," "I got caught up with, you know, playing people against each other and just doing whatever" "I had to do to get to the end." "And now, looking back on it," "I definitely, definitely see it a different way after Lex's speech." "But I wouldn't want people to think that I intentionally came out here in this game to ruin friendships." "I'm not a malicious person." "I would not intentionally do that to try to hurt anybody." "KATHY:" "Amber, um... did you play Rob as a patsy to get to the million?" "And if you get to the million, and after it's all over, are you going to have a relationship with him?" "And it can't be a gray area." "It's got to be yes or no." "Or is there going to be a phone call from Pittsburgh to Boston if you have the million?" "I mean, are you playing him?" "I started this game out, um... flirting with Rob as strategy, for sure, but, um, early on in the game-- within the first ten days" "I started developing feelings, and I started getting caught up in the security in him and the emotional support, and just the way he made me feel." "And I will tell you that yes," "I have a genuine relationship with Rob, and I definitely hope to continue our relationship afterwards." "KATHY:" "Thank you." "I mean, thank you for a yes-or-no answer." "Thank you." "Um, Rob, you just need to know that I was crushed, obviously." "Look at me." "I've been off this thing for 12 days." "You were like a kid... a son." "And I was crushed that you didn't address what we had." "If you didn't want me around, that's fine." "We came, we merged, and we were outnumbered." "I got it, I got it." "I got that we were outplayed, I got it." "But I just can't imagine any game in the world where you can check your friendships at the door." "It's just not in my chemistry and my makeup, and I thought it wasn't in yours." "I know." "So, in 15 minutes, you made an alliance, and you, you ruined friendships that took two years to build." "And it-it-it just, it just crushed me." "So, I do congratulate you guys sincerely for being here, however you got here." "But I just want you to know that you used some friendships as stepping stones to get there." "And it's been a devilish game." "But I think you could have taken a parallel course, where these people wouldn't have been left in carnage, and they would have been feeling a little bit better about their decisions tonight." "And maybe that's immaturity-- I don't know-- but there was another path right next to you-- you didn't see it-- that you could have thrown us just an ounce of respect." "And this wouldn't be here." "So, good luck with it." "Thanks." "Rupert." "That's an emotional one to follow." "First, I want to say hey to you guys, and congratulations, and thank you to you both for helping me get as far as I did." "You know, I appreciate it." "When we made a pact on day 12, you guys stuck with me." "You didn't know me." "So, what I'd really like to ask you, Amber, what did you really do to get to the final two, and why should I give you my vote?" "To get to the final two, I played this game the best way I know how." "And honestly, that was taking it day by day." "Um, I faced a lot of obstacles in this game." "Obviously, there was a time when my entire tribe was switched and I was the only one left from the original tribe, and, uh, I fought like hell to stay in the game, but I kept saying in my head" "that this is my second chance at a million dollars." "And so, I guess the main reason why I think I played the game well is I never lost my focus." "True." "So, Rob, why should I give you my vote?" "Because you're a man of your word." "That's why you should give me your vote." "( laughing )" "RUPERT:" "Again, you know, congratulations to both of you." "JEFF:" "Thanks, Rupert." "Thanks, Rupe." "Alicia." "There is one factor, in my opinion, that is the lowest form and standard of play that you can reach, and you two not only mastered it, but relied on it, to get to the final two," "and that is the fine art of butt-kissing and ego-stroking." "You both did so much of it that I couldn't possibly decide which one of you has got less crap on your lips." "Now, you may have outwitted us, outplayed us and outlasted us, but you have not outclassed us." "Let me ask you both one question." "And, for this question, I need one answer, and one word, and one word only." "How would you say you played this game, Rob?" "Competitively." "Excuse me?" "Competitively." "Amber?" "With luck." "Thank you." "Shii Ann." "First of all, congratulations to the both of you." "You have earned it." "There have been a lot of words exchanged tonight, you know, a lot of people's feelings are hurt, but as someone who's competed with every single person here, I would like to throw out there" "that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." "I feel like all is fair in love and war and in Survivor, so tonight, you two are on an even, level playing ground." "I haven't decided who I'm going to vote for, so I'd like you to tell me, in all honesty, three reasons why the person sitting next to you deserves to win that million dollars more than you." "Rob?" "Amber has been the truest partner in this game to me that I've ever had." "I asked her once for her friendship, and she's never wavered the entire time we've been out here." "Secondly, she never quit on anything she said she was going to do whatsoever." "And third, her support towards our alliance has been unprecedented." "I mean, I would not be here right now if it were not for her." "I think she played a straight-up game, and I think she deserves it." "Amber?" "Um, I think, number one, I thought he ruled in all the challenges." "And I thought he was probably the most..." "I think he was the most competitive person out here in all the challenges." "Um... two, I think in this game, um, in order to get this far, you need to find one person that you can truly depend on, and I found that in Rob." "I found that I could tell him anything, and he would never think of it as something he could use against me in the game." "And then, third, ten or 15 minutes into the game, he made an alliance with me, and he stuck to it." "Even if he might have doubted in his head, he never let me know about it." "Okay." "Thank you, guys." "Jenna." "JENNA L.:" "Well, I do congratulate you two." "I think you played a great game." "Uh, I don't feel negative feelings like some of these people do because we had an alliance that you didn't break with us-- with Rupert and I-- so I have no hard feelings that way." "You played a very similar game, but since you're so interchangeable," "I'm going to go with... what are you going to do with the million dollars?" "Rob first." "Well, uh, you know that, uh, I coach volunteer coach, inline hockey at Boston University." "I got a couple of kids on the team that they can't afford to pay the tuition, so somehow I'll try to use it to start some sort of a scholarship fund for my players on my team." "If I could somehow set that up to help some of them out," "I think it would be good." "College scholarship fund." "Okay." "Amber?" "Um, for me, I have a lot of good friends-- older and younger-- who have been diagnosed with the disease of muscular dystrophy, and usually you don't get diagnosed with that until much later on in life" "when you're, like, 50s, but I have a friend who's in her 20s, and she was diagnosed with it." "So, um, the one charity that" "I wanted to help out if I could was a charity involving muscular dystrophy." "Thank you." "Big Tom." "( grunting )" "Good to see y'all." "The two people I had an alliance with." "Good to see you." "First of all, Amber, congratulations." "Rob, same to you." "Congratulations." "You did exactly what you said you'd do..." "Oh, wait a minute." "Well..." "Well, our alliance, we was going to be one, two, three." "I got five." "You forgot about me somewhere along the li..." "I mean, we had the numbers, so, but besides that, Rob," "I got goats on the farm." "When they get to running the nanny," "I castrate them, and I never seen a boy run a woman like you did." "If that was part of strategy, that was... you did, you did a good job." "So, I guess I'm going to say to you, Amber, uh..." "I don't know how I'll vote." "So, you tell me why I should give you a million dollars and not Rob." "Just... right straight up." "Why should, why should I?" "I knew this question was going to be somebody's question, and I think it's the hardest answer to, to... to answer." "It shouldn't be." "I think it's the hardest question to answer, but, um, if I'm forced into answering it," "I'm going to be honest, and..." "I'd appreciate that." "Well, I'm just saying with Rob sitting next to me, you know, it's hard to do, but I think you guys all deserve it." "Sometimes it's hard to be honest, Amber." "I can tell you about that;" "sometimes it is." "I'd just like for tonight, let's be honest." "So, I think that the reason why" "I should win this game over Rob is because we really didn't break our word to each other, whereas you and Rob did." "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" "In other words, we just lied a little bit, and me and Rob lied a whole lot." "Or, I mean, I don't understand it." "Wha... what..." "Clarify that last statement." "I think that you knew this entire game that your alliance with Rob was much stronger than your alliance with me." "So, if you're basing your votes on who had a stronger word and who broke their word," "I think I didn't really break my word as much to you as Rob did." "Thank you." "Hey, brother Rob," "I know that I'm stupid for waiting this long to make up my mind, but like I said, I've been with you from day one, and I mean with you." "Rob, uh, why should I vote for you and not Amber?" "In all fairness, Tom... the conversation we had before you got kicked off-- you and I know inside what really happened in terms of who said what... and who lied about what." "And, yeah," "I broke the alliance, but you plotted to get me kicked off beforehand, and I found out first, so I got rid of you before you had the chance to get rid of me." "TOM:" "In other words, you voted me off 'cause I was going to try to kick you off?" "You did try to get me kicked off." "All right." "Well, I guess that's all, so, with saying that, I just want to say no hard feelings." "No hard feelings, Tom." "Don't be stupid, stupid." "I may have fell for that once." "I fell for it twice." "Not this time." "JEFF:" "Okay." "A lot was said tonight about how you two played this game." "Some people respected it." "Others didn't at all." "This is your last chance to convince them it should be you and not the other person." "Amber, we'll start with you." "Well, I came here tonight expecting... this to be very difficult, 'cause I know every single one of you would love to be sitting where I'm sitting." "I really thought, coming in here tonight, that I learned so much about myself throughout the past 39 days, but instead, after tonight," "I learned the most about myself just after these past couple of minutes." "I'm not... happy... what I learned about myself, and I want you to know that I'm going to take away what I learned tonight and apply it to my life." "I know it was very hard for you guys all to express your feelings and be completely honest with us, and so I just wanted you to know that, in every answer that I gave tonight," "I was completely honest with you, and if that's the most I can give to you tonight... you have it." "That's it." "Rob." "Uh..." "I guess the first thing" "I want to say is that I'm sorry to each and every one of yous for breaking alliances fr... and friendships... and all the pain that you guys must feel over there, and to tell you the truth, I'm not really feeling" "much better sitting over here right now." "Uh..." "I played the game as hard as I could, but I'd be naive to be able to sit in one of the last two seats and think that people on that side were going to feel all right about the way I played the game." "It got a lot more personal... than I thought it ever would, and from tonight," "I was expecting it to be hard." "I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as hard as it was." "I really wasn't... but..." "I'm really having a tough time even finding the words to tell you the truth, and fumbling over all my answers." "Excuse me." "Uh..." "This is not really the time to be screwing it up, either, but, I mean," "I guess I've been screwing it up for a long time, haven't I?" "Maybe we could laugh a little bit." "Uh..." "I had fun... and..." "I'm sorry." "That's all I have to say, really." "Only one thing left to do, and that is vote." "Tonight, the voting is very different." "Tonight, the jury is voting for somebody, based on everything that's happened over the last 39 days, and tonight, they're going to cast a vote for the person they think most deserving of winning this game." "It's really that simple, and it really is time to vote." "Lex, you're up." "Before I show who I'm voting for," "I'd like to say that both of you should just step up, be proud of the way you played." "You made it to the final two." "You beat us all." "That's my vote:" "Boston Rob." "You do deserve it." "You ruled this game physically." "This is a large sum of money." "I hope you win it." "Rob, do you remember back in the middle of the game, when you and I shook hands, looked each other in the eye, and I promised you that I would never write your name down?" "I'm a woman of my word." "Rob..." "I thought of you as a brother." "I stayed and defended you for 36 days." "All over saying something about I was going to vote you off?" "Hey, never once crossed my mind." "And when you find out the true story, maybe you can call and apologize." "( sighs ):" "I am such a sucker." "I am such a sucker, but you know what?" "In the end, friendship rules, and I know that we have a really good, tight friendship, so I'm giving you the million bucks because I love what we have, and I think it's still there." "It's just damaged." "So take it, man." "Take it and run with it, all right?" "I love you." "For the last time, I'll go get the votes." "Rob," "Amber, jury," "I know it's been a long 39 days." "It's about to get a little bit longer." "The votes will be read live when we get back to the United States." "See you there." "( helicopter rotors whirring )" "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "( distant cheering and applause )" "( cheering )" "( cheering )" "( loud cheering )" "JEFF:" "What's going on, New York?" "Thanks for stopping by." "Let's get to this." "Let's do it!" "All right." "Well..." "First thing I see, Amber, is your shirt... which, uh... ( audience yelling )" "Well, I guess that answers the question Kathy posed about, uh, whether this is authentic or not." "Uh, clearly a very personal season." "One of the most, uh, powerful and honest Tribal Councils we've had in a while, final Tribal." "So, as you two sit there tonight" "Amber, I'll start with you-- after this whole season, you look at this jury, everything you went through, how are you feeling about your chances to win this game?" "Good Lord." "Um..." "JEFF:" "How you feeling?" "You been thinking about this for a long time." "Do you think you've got a shot or not?" "I think I definitely have a shot." "I think it's going to be a close vote." "I think... ( feedback blares ) I think it's going to come down to one vote." "I think there's going to be one deciding vote." "So I think I definitely have a shot." "JEFF:" "Boston Rob, in many ways, with all due respect to the other 17, this was your season." "You dominated physically... ( cheering and applause )" "...and, subject to a lot of controversy, you dominated strategically, no matter how you look at it." "We'll talk about the consequences of that, but as you sit here tonight, listening to what these guys had to say to you, some very personal... feelings, how do you feel about this whole season for yourself?" "Well, you know what, Jeff, regardless of what happens here tonight with the vote," "I feel like I already won." "I have the most special girl in the entire world sitting here right next to me." "If you don't mind, I'd like to say something to her." "( audience clamoring )" "Amber, we came a long way in this crazy game." "I've seen you at your highest high and your lowest low, and between it all, we worked together as a team to accomplish so much." "It was really crazy, and in the end," "I ended up falling in love with you." "You're the most amazing person I've ever met in my entire life, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." "( audience cheering )" "Amber..." "I love you with all my heart." "Will you marry me?" "Yes." "( audience cheering )" "You okay?" "JEFF:" "Rob, guys, Rob..." "ROB M:" "We're going to sit down." "First, let me answer one question that is on everybody's mind." "The big twist that we've been promoting that's going to be revealed tonight-- that is not it." "( laughter )" "That was Rob's twist." "So, catch us up." "Do your parents-- both sets of parents" "I don't know if we saw it-- just got up and hugged." "Who knew-- did you tell anybody?" "ROB M:" "My parents and Amber's parents both know." "I spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Brkich and asked their permission, and I spoke with, uh, my parents." "JEFF:" "All right." "We'll, uh... we'll, uh, get their, uh, feelings about this later." "We still have this little thing called the vote to get to now." "ROB M:" "Yeah, let's do that, too!" "A million-dollar vote." "Interesting, uh, dynamic that adds to this." "Suddenly, Amber's a millionaire no matter how you look at it." "JENNA L.:" "Did you sign a pre-nup?" "JEFF:" "All right, here we go, guys." "The vote is a little different." "Just to remind everybody, tonight, you want to see your name on the parchment." "Tonight, the jury voted for a winner." "There are seven votes in here." "It takes four to win." "I will read the votes." "MAN:" "Go, Rob!" "First vote:" "Boston Rob." "( applause )" "Amber." "One vote Amber, one vote Boston Rob." "Amber." "Two votes Amber, one vote Rob." "Rob." "We're tied, two votes each." "Rob." "Three votes Rob, two votes Amber." "It takes four votes to win." "That's three votes Amber, three votes Rob." "You were right, Amber." "It's a close vote." "I will read the last vote." "The winner of Survivor:" "All-Stars... ( wild cheering )" "You won, baby." "¶ ¶" "Congratulations." "Congratulations." "Well, it was without question the most unpredictable, emotionally charged and physically demanding Survivor ever, and as you saw in the final Tribal Council, a lot of friendships were damaged." "With the exception of maybe Rudy, everybody's mad at everybody, plus a romance, a bona fide Survivor romance." "There's a lot to talk about." "And also tonight, a huge Survivor twist still to come that none of these guys know about, and it involves you." "Finally, you have a vote." "There's a lot to talk about tonight." "It's is the Survivor:" "All-Star Reunion show live at Madison Square Garden." "Be right back." "( playing lively melody )" "( applause continues )" "Welcome to the Survivor:" "All-Star Reunion." "We are live in Madison Square Garden in New York City, and we have all 18 all-stars, whether they like it or not, back with us." "And obviously, there is a lot to cover." "Let's start with what just happened." "I want to ask you, Rob, did Amber earn this?" "Did she coattail it, or was she a part of the decision-making?" "A little bit of both." "( laughter )" "She definitely helped with, uh, with all the decisions." "I mean, from day one, she was there with me, no matter what." "No matter what we decided to do, she consulted." "We both decided together as a team." "I give Amber all the credit in the world." "She deserved 100% to win this." "( applause )" "JEFF:" "Amber, in the beginning, there was no romance." "This was strategy." "So why Rob?" "What were the factors that made you think an alliance with him made sense?" "Well, uh, coming into this game," "I actually couldn't stand..." "I couldn't stand him." "( laughter ) Um..." "And I don't think he really liked me, either." "And I thought, uh, when he approached me for an alliance, why not?" "Take a guy that nobody would expect me to align with because I think it was pretty..." "I think it was obvious among these guys, I didn't really even like him." "And, uh, I thought, you know what," "Rob has a big mouth, he has a temper." "If I stand beside him, he can take all the bullets, and people won't even..." "They'll just forget about me, that I'm actually with him, making these decisions also." "JEFF:" "By the way, we all are noticing that ring, which we're going to get to later." "Uh, Rob, now that-that's the big thing, is..." "Did..." "You had to be aware..." "Everybody saw..." "That's all right." "Let's show the rock, since we're there." "Hold your hand still, Amber." "Just hold tight." "( cheering and applause ) That is a beauty." "Wow!" "Well, Rob, you did one thing right this season anyway." "( laughter )" "Uh, but that's the big thing, I think, for people watching, is, if that's true what Amber said, were you aware that you were the bad cop the whole time, and that Amber has less enemies" "because you're taking all the bullets?" "ROB M.:" "I was definitely." "And you know what?" "We kind of planned that in the beginning." "I knew that in the end, people were going to be gunning for me, and the whole time, in order to keep our alliance tight, she would question me and say, you know, "What's going to happen?" This and that." ""They..." "We're-We're making too many people mad."" "And my whole thinking was, if we get to the final two, they're going to have to vote for one of us, and I was hoping that they would see that I was the one kind of taking those chances" "and taking the shots to try to, you know, make the decisions." "JEFF:" "Rupert, why did you guys not vote out...?" "( cheering and applause )" "RUPERT:" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Sorry." "Had to do that." "JEFF:" "Hey, take it." "You've got a fashion statement." "Yeah!" "JEFF:" "All right." "A lot of tie-dye in the audience." "But let's get back to where you screwed up." "( laughter )" "Time after time, you could have taken out" "Boston Rob." "At five, you could have taken out Amber." "Nobody did." "The only thing I could surmise is that everybody here thought" "Rob was their ticket to the final two." "Why else would you not do this?" "There was a lot of talk about trying to get Rob or Amber out." "There was..." "There was talk between the two of us" "Big Tom and I." "There was a lot of talk." "Nobody really stepped up." "JEFF:" "Was there talk between you two?" "Well, I talked to Big Tom about trying to go against Rob, and Rob... and Big Tom stood behind Rob." "JEFF:" "What we don't..." "Okay, I was going to say..." "Stood behind Rob." "What we don't know is, what he told you could have been him playing you..." "RUPERT:" "Right." "...still sticking up for Rob." "So, why Amber and not Jenna?" "Is it just..." "Was it the love affair?" "Because it didn't seem like that might have been the right choice to make." "ROB M.:" "In the end, when it got down to three?" "JEFF:" "Yes." "ROB M.:" "There was no question in my mind." "She was with me from day one." "Game aside, I didn't think that I could beat either of them, to tell you the truth, going into the final three." "I realized that I had pissed off just about everybody on the jury." "( laughter )" "And I was hoping that, you know," "I might be able to, you know, get a couple votes." "It was a lot closer than I actually thought it was." "Uh..." "JEFF:" "Let's..." "I want to see who vote..." "Let's finish up with who voted for who." "Who here voted for" "Amber?" "So just to see, of the four of you, if it had been Jenna instead, would anybody have changed their vote?" "Who would have still voted...?" "You would have changed your vote." "There you go." "So that would have been the difference." "No, Jenna, you wouldn't have won." "Rob would have won." "JENNA L.:" "Oh." "Uh..." "The same people would have voted for Rob." "I don't know." "I think it all depends also on the final vote." "JEFF:" "Well, that's true." "ROB M.:" "Next time, next time." "We'll do it next time." "He's not so eloquent at speeches." "One of the..." "( audience groaning )" "RUDY:" "Tell her to shut up." "ROB M.:" "Easy, easy..." "One thing I just want to get to is, we all remember the-the big moment when Rob went and asked... asked Lex to save Amber." "And we don't need to see that tape again." "We've seen it over and over." "You asked him for a favor." "He repaid... he-he did that." "He and Kathy talked, and they did that." "Then when time came back for payback, as Lex felt, it wasn't there." "Lex, the question to you is, you had done that same thing to-to... to Colby," "Ethan and Jerri." "( applause )" "Fair enough, right?" "You had said, this is business and not friendship, over and over, so what's the difference here?" "The difference was that no deal was ever struck between Colby, Ethan and I." "We didn't make alliances." "We didn't make a deal." "There were no promises made." "( audience boos )" "There can only be..." "There can only be one winner in Survivor." "We didn't make any deals, and they..." "You know, frankly, they didn't work into my plan." "JEFF:" "Well, now how is that...?" "Hatch, you're shaking your head, so how is that...?" "( hollers ):" "Yeah." "That's the point..." "JEFF:" "Is how is that different than from what Rob did to you?" "It isn't." "It's clearly not different." "KATHY:" "Yes, it is." "Oh, it isn't..." "JEFF:" "Hold on, Richard." "I saw Kathy shaking her head when he said that because it didn't work into his plan doesn't mean that it isn't part of the game." "I love these guys, but it's a game." "( cheering and applause )" "It's a game." "And-And his speech at the end about it not being... it being more than that is not true." "When you're playing chess, you don't... you don't give away another, uh, thing because they're your buddy." "You-You play to win." "In this game, the rules are a little different, and you should have known that going in." "LEX:" "This ain't chess, Rich." "I mean, to be..." "to be perfectly frank." "Lex, you know..." "It's a more complicated game." "Yeah." "JEFF:" "But I think Lex makes a good point about, this isn't chess, and that..." "We're going to take a break, we're going to come back." "But that's what I want to talk about is-- it isn't poker, but it's the same philosophy, except you're dealing with relationships, and it's much more personal." "We'll take a quick break, we'll come back and get back to this." "( applause and cheering )" "( jazz music plays )" "( applause and music playing )" "Welcome back to the All-Star Reunion Show." "Uh, before the break we were talking about how complicated this game is because you are dealing with relationships." "If it's poker, and you bluff somebody, nobody gets mad, but in this game-- bad analogy maybe-- but the cards are relationships, because bluffing is part of this game, no doubt." "Kathy, one of the things that nobody's brought up is that in this episode between Lex and Boston Rob, you said," ""It's better than to have the wrath of Boston Rob."" "There had to be a little strategy in this move is what I'm trying to get at." "KATHY:" "What, to bring Amber over?" "JEFF:" "Yeah...." "Okay." "Yeah." "No, I mean, we were talking." "Obviously, it wasn't a decision that was made in 30 seconds, and we were thinking that if we brought Amber over, there were more options." "So hopefully, the Rob-father..." "The Rob-father might like the favor." "Also the friend who asked." "And I have to tell you-- I know Rob, and he asked for that favor outside the game." "And some day, some day-- it might be ten years from now..." "JEFF:" "He'll own up to it?" "...but I think he's going to admit it." "So, uh, you know, I think there were several reasons why we brought over Amber, not just one." "( laughter )" "Big Tom." "Hang on, Hatch." "KATHY:" "Yeah, you know what, Hatch?" "Calm down." "RICHARD:" "Even in her answer, Jeff..." "KATHY:" "No." "In her answer just now..." "KATHY:" "No." "...she agrees with me." "She's sitting there saying there were other reasons that we brought her over." "So if we didn't have the other reasons, screw Boston Rob and his request as a friend." "We're getting rid of Amber." "KATHY:" "No." "It's a game." "JEFF:" "There were a lot of arguments." "You can al..." "You can also argue that... ( cheering ) ...a friend doesn't ask a friend for a favor in hoping to get something back." "That's why the game is complicated, because everybody draws their line in so many different places." "Big Tom, what happened between you and Boston Rob?" "This is a he said-she said." "Settle it." "There was a lot of stuff at Tribal where Rob said to you... ( laughter )" ""You know what I'm talking about,"" "and you said, "I don't know what you're talking about."" "TOM:" "I still don't know what he's talking about." "( laughter )" "JEFF:" "Rob, what are you talking about?" "ROB M.:" "I'll do it right here, right now." "Did you have an alliance with Lex before the game even started?" "Did I have an alliance..." "Oh." "ROB M.:" "Did you have an alliance with Lex before this game even started?" "I had an alliance with Rob and Amber." "The very first day." "ROB M.:" "Okay, that wasn't the question, though." "That wasn't the question." "Did you have an alliance with Lex before the game had even started?" "Yes or no?" "Well, let..." "Don't yes-or-no me." "( laughter )" "TOM:" "I've-I've..." "I've heard your mouth the whole time we was out there." "ROB M.:" "Right." "And I..." "I'm sick of it." "And I just want to tell you this." "Big Tom played the game with Amber and Rob." "Right." "Rupert was the..." "will tell you right here," "I never wavered, never." "All the lies that were said about this, that." "Everybody..." "There's 18 of us here." "I don't know how many calls I got." "I don't know how many calls you got, but I do know on the very first day, I gave a handshake deal with you and you to last through the game, and I just said," ""Rob, I'm going to stick with it."" "And you said so." "And even an hour before Tribal Council, you made me shake again." "Now..." "JEFF:" "Let me..." "let me ask this." "Okay, but Rupert will say..." "ROB M.:" "Do you think I was going to take a chance?" "Of course I'll make you shake again." "Of course I will." "It's a game, Tom, it's a game." "JEFF:" "Let me ask something." "Yeah, Jerri?" "JERRI:" "Jeff?" "I've got to say something, okay?" "This whole thing is making me so sick, okay?" "( booing )" "LEX:" "You know what?" "We got 2,000 armchair survivors out there." "Okay." "No, no, no." "I've got..." "No." "I've got to say something." "JEFF:" "Say it." "This show is a show about entertainment." "This entertainment is coming at a price." "What it has cost us?" "Our friendships, our feelings, our pain, our suffering." "JEFF:" "Wait, Jerri, in... ( audience booing ) For entertainment." "Hang on." "JEFF:" "It's cost some of you friendships..." "JENNA L.:" "We all signed up for it voluntarily." "JEFF:" "Colby." "( booing continues )" "JEFF:" "Let's hear what these guys have to say." "Donaldson... ( cheering )" "Okay, take your two minutes now." "Where's your take on this, because...?" "( cheering )" "You were very well-liked in the first season, and you were a quick target in this one, and you were betrayed." "You didn't see it coming." "Bitter?" "Is that the way the game's played?" "Where do you draw your line?" "Well..." "I didn't do very well, and I-I've tried both times to play this game with as much integrity as I live my life, but I will tell you this." "It is one thing to know how to play this game well." "It is something totally different to be successful at it." "These two over here were successful at playing this game against the best." "( cheering and applause )" "JEFF:" "Rudy, give me a take on this whole thing." "( cheering and applause )" "I'm glad I got voted off, uh, in the beginning... ( laughter ) because of all the back-stabbing and double-crossing that went on." "I'm glad I wasn't part of it." "And if I was..." "I mean, if I stayed in," "I think I would have done something which maybe I would have been sorry for." "( laughter )" "( applause )" "JEFF:" "But there you go." "Even Rudy is saying, under the right situation," "I might have betrayed, I might have backstabbed." "Is that what I read into that?" "RUDY:" "Oh, no, no, no." "I-I ain't going to betray." "What are you saying then-- you might have done something you'd be sorry for?" "I'm talking about being around people that are betraying each other, I might have done something." "( laughter )" "JEFF:" "Shii Ann, what...?" "The g..." "The complications of this game..." "Yes." "obviously... ( cheering ) ...center around where we all draw different lines." "SHII ANN:" "Yeah." "And you made a comment at the final Tribal Council, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." "SHII ANN:" "That's right." "( cheering and applause )" "I think it's a game, Jeff." "I think it is a game, and, I'm sorry, uh, Big Tom." "You..." "You know, we talked about voting Boston Rob out." "We did, and I don't know if you were lying to me." "I don't know, but we did, we talked about it, to be fair." "We did talk about that possibility, as I did with almost everyone remaining in the game in the final few days that I was there." "That's right." "So..." "So, I don't know, you know, if that means that the alliances were broken." "I don't want to say that for you, but it's a game, ultimately, and I feel like everyone has betrayed someone in... in this game." "JEFF:" "Quick yes or no-- status of relationships." "Big Tom, Boston Rob-- any chance of reconciliation with you guys?" "I have no trouble with Rob during the game." "As far as..." "You know, if he wanted to be a lying, stealing cheat, let him be it." "JEFF:" "Okay." "But I draw the line when he talked about my family." "That's right." "My son... ( cheering )" "I just want to tell you." "I..." "I did not..." "I-I did not do well in the game." "I didn't win a vehicle." "I didn't win much money." "But what I have got is family, and that's something he ain't got that he wants." "( applause and cheering )" "JEFF:" "Well..." "TOM:" "And... but I'm just saying... ( cheering )" "JEFF:" "You know, let me ask you," "Big Tom-- hang on, let me ask you something." "And we're-we're going long on this, but it's worth talking about, because that's what this game is about." "TOM:" "I signed on for the game." "JEFF:" "Okay." "Understood." "But-But Bo became a part of the game, so he's in the game." "He became a part of the game." "He competed in the challenge, so he's in the game for that moment." "Here's what I want to know:" "is there any part of what was going on between Boston Rob and-and you, in terms of the names you guys were calling each other, that was in good fun, or was that really, purely mean-spirited, as far as you're concerned?" "As far as I'm concerned, it was mean-spirited, but I hope it wasn't-- I hope that Boston Rob..." "ROB M.:" "See, that-that's crap, in my opinion, all right, because I have a different side of this story." "From day one, Tom, you called me "pony" out there." "How many other people out here can attest to that?" "And you used it in a derogatory way." "You said, "You're my pony, and I'm riding you all the way to the end," every day, and you know what?" "I-I know how you are, and I never really took it to heart, and I joked around with you, and I called you" ""dumb ass," and you know what?" "( laughing )" "One way or the other, it was kind of like a term of endearment." "And I'll tell you something..." "( laughter )" "No, no." "No, no, no, no." "I'm being completely serious, and I'll tell you something." "Tom, if... if I offended Bo or if I offended your family, then I am truly sorry." "However, I do not apologize for the way I played this game, but if I did your family wrong, then I apologize, and I'm sorry." "For that, I apologize." "Well, let me tell you this." "The way you played the game is fine, but I want to say... ( crowd howling ) Wait a minute." "Just give me a minute." "I just want to say, Rob, it takes a big man to say when he's wrong, and I hope you're saying you're wrong in-in... with my son." "( cheering )" "And-and-and I also want you to know that I played it straight up." "JEFF:" "All right." "We have to break." "When we come back, we're going to find out about the rock and all that stuff." "We'll be right back." "AMBER:" "To be able to spend 39 days now with a person who always makes you happy... always makes you feel completely safe in any situation, always makes you feel important and proud of yourself is just amazing." "( applause and cheering )" "Welcome back to Survivor:" "All-Star Reunion show." "A couple things:" "one, this tease, this big reveal is still coming." "But more importantly, if there was any question about the authenticity of this show and the feelings that people have..." "If you can give us a big shot of all 18... we are now down to 17, because Jerri left during the break." "( applause ) Well, that's why she left." "Jeff." "She made a comment and she got a-a very large response from the audience, and-and she immediately..." "What, Rich?" "Jeff, listen, it's-it's a tough thing." "You know, sometimes when we're playing the game, people think of us as characters, and it's..." "Unless you have a really, really tough skin like me, you... it can get to you." "And Jerri's a great girl." "You know, she's a super person." "( applause ) She was just a little upset." "You know, it's tough." "5,000 people." "It's tough." "Yeah, and, uh, you know, Jerri brought into this game with her the feeling people had from the second season, which made her an All-Star." "She was a great "character."" "It's easy to forget she's a real person." "Okay." "Sadly, we have to keep moving in this show, because there's a lot to get to." "I wish Jerri hadn't left, but she knows we still care about her and like her, so let's keep going." "( applause )" "I got to ask you guys, because... there was..." "The odd thing is, there was all this speculation." "People kept coming up to me saying," ""The big surprise-- I know what it is." "These guys are going to get married."" "And I said, "No, it's not." "It's something that has to do with you guys."" "You didn't... you looked like you almost knew." "Did you know?" "( chuckles )" "I didn't necessarily know." "It-it was... it's something we've talked about." "JEFF:" "Wait, did you go to her and say, "I'm going to ask you to marry me?"" "She had no idea that I was going to do it live on the show tonight." "No." "JEFF:" "Okay." "So..." "I went and talked to her mom and her dad this morning, at 8:00 this morning in their hotel room." "JEFF:" "Give us a shot of Mom and Dad in the second row there." "There's Cheryl and Valentine." "Hey, guys, give me a thumbs-up if this is all good." "Mom and Dad, give me a thumbs-up." "Is this is an okay thing?" "Absolutely." "( applause ) And right in front of 'em, there's Robert and Linda." "Mr. Mariano, how do you feel...?" "You got... you got a nice daughter-in-law coming here." "We think it's wonderful." "JEFF:" "Fantastic." "All right." "( applause )" "At any point in the game, did you two suspect that the other might be playing you?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "( laughing )" "JEFF:" "Well, when did it become..." "Okay, so we've covered that, initially, this was strategy." "For you, Amber, when did it change?" "Was there a defining moment when you looked at him and said," ""Wow, you know, I think I've got feelings for this guy?"" "Um... yeah, there was definitely a defining moment." "Like I've said again and again, in the beginning, it was strategy." "I knew I was going to flirt with him." "I was going to flirt with everybody out there to get me to the end, um..." "But... uh, the whole shelter-building thing came." "He started looking pretty hot." "It became more easier..." "you know, easier to flirt with him, but I didn't really realize there were feelings there until we got separated, and I was on the Chapera still, and he got sent to Mogo Mogo." "And I realized, "Wow, I actually miss him." "There really is something there."" "And, uh, that's when it-it got real." "JEFF:" "I'm still..." "I'm still reeling from the fact that you guys just got engaged." "You really did get engaged." "Rob, it seemed to me..." "I thought you were smitten within Amber pretty early on." "I was thinking you were into it early." "ROB M.:" "Oh, definitely." "Uh, I mean, look at her." "Just the initial attraction alone, the physical attraction is enough to drive anybody crazy." "But, uh... it's funny." "She said earlier that she-she really didn't, uh, care for me when we first went out there." "And I'll tell you truth:" "when I first went out there, I thought she was a little snob." "But, uh, you know, this game-- it does funny things to you, and you see people at their lowest low and their highest high, and you see 'em at their worst and at their best," "and I saw something in Amber that I've never seen in anybody else before in my entire life." "JEFF:" "Amber..." "( applause ) tell us what you see in Boston Rob that a lot of people at home are going, "I don't get this."" "( audience laughing )" "Um... you know what?" "Nobody has ever made me feel as secure as he makes me feel, and I just... it's-it's an amazing feeling." "He made me feel secure out there, and he makes me feel secure today in everything, in-in my life, in every decision that I've ever made, in everything that I do, I feel," ""No, I know that I have one person behind me no matter what,"" "and I love that, and that's why I love him." "And he's just wonderful." "We're all very happy for you guys." "At least something good came out of this." "When we come back, one survivor is going to award another survivor a new car." "It's a Chevy Equinox." "It's a cool ride." "Plus, some great updates." "We'll find out what these guys have been up to." "Look at this:" "Canton, Massachusetts." "This is Aunt Mary Lisa and Uncle Dennis hosting a party for Boston Rob, all his friends down in Boston." "Be right back." "¶ I've worked myself to death ¶" "¶ I can't save everybody ¶" "¶ I've worked myself to death ¶" "¶ I can't save everybody. ¶" "See you later." "( cheering )" "Welcome back to the Survivor:" "All-Star Reunion show." "No, the car giveaway is not the big twist." "That is still to come." "Uh, but we are going to do that." "I just want to go through and get some quick updates from people." "Jenna, we've had to make a lot of hard turns tonight." "One of the most tragic things that has happened in eight seasons of Survivor happened to you this season when you lost your mom." "How is the rest of the family doing now?" "They're okay." "I mean, I've got a good family." "I've got a good group of friends, including a lot of people here, so she's still here." "She's just here now instead of in the audience like she was last year." "( applause )" "And there is some good news in your life." "JENNA M.:" "There's always good news." "This guy in front of you." "I guess." "This is another Survivor relationship:" "( audience cheering ) Jenna and Ethan." "Pre-Surviv..." "Pre-All-Star a little bit." "We were friends, but, yeah, it's..." "There's a lot more to our relationship than just Survivor." "Survivor is just another thing on our... on our resumes." "Our relationship has a lot more substance." "JEFF:" "Sue Hawk..." "I get what you're saying." "Sue Hawk, stand up." "Oh, yeah." "Look at this new Sue Hawk." "( applause ) Diva!" "Hello!" "Well, you had a lot of work done-- tell us." "Yeah, um, Extra TV was kind enough to come to me and ask me if I wanted an extreme makeover for their new show, Mirror, Mirror." "And I went all over it." "So what all did you do?" "Oh, we-we'd be here forever." "But keep an eye on that." "We'll-we'll update you." "That's coming up." "JEFF:" "Chest?" "Oh, obvious." "Eyes?" "Oh, yeah." "Lipo?" "Yeah." "Hair?" "Oh, my God!" "Have you been checking into it for yourself?" "There's a lot." "Well, you look fantastic." "Yeah." "And then, uh..." "Yeah, so that's, uh, coming up." "Talking about relationships," "Yes?" "tomorrow, Monday, is my 17th anniversary with my husband." "JEFF:" "Congratulations." "It's, like..." "Speaking of which," "Rupert, I think one of the reasons people like you, and there are probably many, but is the-the relationship that we saw with your wife, Laura." "You did back-to-back Survivors." "Did this hurt the relationship at all, or did it strengthen it?" "RUPERT:" "That was, uh..." "that was very hard, being away from my wife so long." "I, right there, God, I..." "I did not want to let her go." "I wanted her to stay." "MAN:" "Yeah, Rupert!" "JEFF:" "Still strong?" "RUPERT:" "I just want to say that is the most beautiful woman out there." "And I have..." "I am the luckiest man in the world to have such a wonderful wife." "JEFF:" "And right next to you, if I can... believe what I've read, Jenna Lewis," "Yeah?" "did you get married this weekend, this past weekend?" "I-I did." "I did get married last weekend." "JEFF:" "This is the nuttiest reunion show ever." "Unfortunately, I didn't get to do it on national TV, but, you know..." "JEFF:" "Tina's in shock." "I don't think a lot of you guys knew, did you?" "Word was spreading." "Jeez, Web site?" "Well, congratulations." "Thank you." "And you look fantastic." "Thank you." "I haven't had any work, so, Extra, you can come to me next." "I'm just kidding." "And finally, there is one last update that I heard about, which is even Richard Hatch found love thanks to Survivor." "Absolutely." "After-after you were voted off, we take the people who've been voted off and put them somewhere on a cruise or on a-a journey or something so we can keep them out of... out of trouble, and you actually met somebody." "They sent me to Argentina." "I walked into the hotel." "He was behind the desk." "We haven't been apart since." "( applause )" "Right over there." "Okay." "You get a little something, uh, for everybody on this show." "Okay, here's the deal." "Because for the first time ever..." "Typic..." "Up until this season, anybody who had won a car had-had never won the game." "Well, Rob won the car." "Arguably, Amber didn't win a car." "She was rewarded with a car." "But nonetheless, you both have cars, so Chevy wanted to do something different." "Amber, because you're the winner, you're going to give-- there's a little shot of it there-- a Chevy Equinox." "It's an all-sport SUV, very nice ride..." "Uh, you're going to give this to one of these other 16." "You cannot give it to Rob, because he already has one." "I feel like, uh, Bob Barker, but ten seconds, right now." "You're giving this car away." "AUDIENCE ( chanting ):" "Rupert, Rupert, Rupert!" "And they're consulting, just like in the show." "Whoever you want." "All right, Amber." "Don't listen to them." "You make up your own mind." "Who's getting the car?" "Who's getting the SUV?" "Who was the deciding vote?" "I'm going to give it to Shii Ann." "JEFF:" "Shii Ann." "Yeah." "Why Shii Ann?" "( applause ) Congratulations." "All right, sit down." "Amber, quickly, why Shii Ann?" "Shii Ann was the deciding vote." "She gave me the million bucks." "So you're paying back Shii Ann for her vote." "AMBER:" "Yeah." "She was that swing vote, and she gave it to me, so..." "All right, finally." "We've been teasing you with it night after night and all night tonight." "The final Survivor:" "All-Star twist is next, I promise." "Be right back." "( applause )" "All right." "We've been, uh, teasing you with this, uh, for a long time, and we're going to get to this... to this, uh, surprise." "I just want to say one thing." "This is obviously an emotional season, an emotional final Tribal, an emotional night." "We've had friendships that hopefully will heal." "Kathy said it in Tribal, you know." "She believes in this." "Maybe you do, maybe you don't." "You guys shook hands." "We have a couple that's been engaged." "Congratulations, by the way." "And, uh, Jerri, we hope is doing all right, so thank you guys for, uh... ( audience chuckling ) I-I'm not being light." "I'm know I'm rushing through this, but these are real people, and-and we get that." "So, uh, thanks for a really good season of Survivor." "( applause ) So, now... to reward you guys." "All right, audience, you've been there with us for eight seasons." "You've watched over 120 Tribal Councils, and you have never participated in a single one." "You've never had a vote." "Well, now you do, and it is a very valuable vote indeed." "Here's the deal." "CBS is putting up a second million dollar prize, and this time, the audience is going to decide who gets the money." "It is going to be awarded to one of these 18 all-stars, and you guys are the jury." "It's not happening tonight." "SUE:" "It's Rupert." "You can vote for any one of the all-stars." "You can vote for any reason you think appropriate." "Here's how you do it:" "you vote now on your wireless phone by text messaging the name of the Survivor all-star..." "You thought it was going to happen tonight?" "...that you want to win." "Text voting is open to Cingular and most other wireless carrier customers." "The polls will be open until midnight on Wednesday." "Then, on this Thursday, we're back." "It's another live show in New York City, and we're going to give the million dollar prize to one of the 18 here." "So you have quite a few days to vote." "There are two ways to vote:" "text messaging the name of the Survivor all-star you want to win to 26161," "By the way, these guys are all getting excited, and Jenna's talking like normal." "After the show, everybody here will get a chance to make their case on video." "You can hear their case, decide who you want to vote for." "So, it's next Thursday night." "It is your show." "Your vote will make one of these guys a millionaire." "We will also announce where Survivor is going next." "By the way, tonight, if you want to own" "You can bid on everything from this season, all kinds of props, and it benefits our good friends, the Elizabeth Glaser Pedi..." "Pediatric AIDS Foundation." "And, finally, if we didn't have enough to get through on this, if you want to be on the show," "And tomorrow morning, we will give Amber a check for a million dollars on The Early Show." "Thank you for being with us." "Good night." "( applause )"
