NIFTY & GAY FINALE OF SURVIVOR CHINA

On day 37, the Final 4 received a tree mail notifying the tribe of an upcoming Reward Challenge. The Final Four arrived at the Challenge, where Jeff Probst explained the rules. For this Challenge, they must race to construct a Survivor version of The Great Wall of China. First, they will start on top of the wall and race down a ladder. Next, they must race to assemble and cross a puzzle bridge. Once across, they will use a traditional Chinese Yoke to stack their puzzle blocks and carry them back through the course up the ladder. Finally, using the puzzle blocks, they must complete their section of the wall by fitting the properly shaped pieces in the correct slots. First person to successfully complete their puzzle wall wins Reward--an advantage for the upcoming Immunity Challenge in the form of fuel, consisting of pizza, beer, soda and brownies.

It was close a race between Amanda & Todd. Amanda’s strong determination made her win the reward. She chose Todd to eat with her. It was a tough decision for her.

Meanwhile, back at camp, Denise and Courtney got away the extreme heat by cooling off in the lake as Courtney asked Denise whom she wants to vote out next. Denise replied, “Todd.” Agreeing with Denise, Courtney said, “He’s a slippery little sucker.”
Sucker ha?

On Day 38, the tribe awoke as Todd reads Tree Mail, which instructed them to paddle to the giant statue of Guan Yin, the Chinese goddess of compassion and mercy.

As the final four arrived at the steps of the statue and made their way to the top, they found the torches of those who have been previously voted out. Paying homage to their fallen comrades, they lighted a set of ceremonial firecrackers at each torch and made some final message and thank you kisses etc… blah blah blah..



Final Immunity Challenge
In a test of focus and strength, the Survivors will stack porcelain dishes on a long, wobbly balancing arm. The more dishes they stack and the longer they must hold them, the more difficult it is to keep them stable. Once a dish falls off of the balancing plate, they are out of the challenge. Last person left standing with their dishes stacked wins Immunity, guaranteeing them a spot in the finals and a one in three chance at a million dollars.

First out: TODD
Second out : COURTNEY
Third out : DENISE ( she even made a deal with Amanda)
Winner : AMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When they returned to the camp, they congratulated Amanda but according to her: “I am so excited for being in the final three. I have nothing to worry about tonight, but I am afraid that whoever gets voted out tonight is going to think that it was because of me. It could be such a good thing, then it could be such a bad thing,”

Denise approached Amanda in hopes of convincing her to keep her around but Amanda told her that she wants to go with Todd in the end coz they had an alliance from the beginning.

TRIBAL COUNCIL: Despite of her plea Denise was voted out 3-1 votes.
Denise became the thirteenth member to be voted out of SURVIVOR: CHINA and the final member of the Jury that will ultimately decide the million-dollar winner.
Final Words : “I definitely believe I would have won this entire thing if I had stayed in the game. I am just proud of what I have accomplished. To make it 38 days out here is just a spectacular thing for a 40-year-old woman.”

Returning to camp for what should be a party for making it to the end of the game, Amanda instead voiced out her frustrations at Todd for making her look foolish in front of the Jury. Amanda explained: “I feel horrible. In essence, Todd made me look bad in front of the Jury.” Todd attempted to explain himself to Amanda. However, his plea falls on deaf ears as she refuted his apology: “You guys can celebrate. I am going to bed.”
It was a bittersweet final 3.

On the final day, Courtney, Todd and Amanda went to Tree Mail and were delighted to find a bounty of breakfast food awaiting them.

Later, before leaving for Tribal Council, Courtney, Todd and Amanda built a small bonfire, burning the camp’s contents and paying homage to their time spent in the game.

FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL: JURY NIGHT

Opening Statement

23

Amanda: “There are some things that I have done that I am not proud of. I voted for some people that didn’t think that I was going to vote for them. I am sorry that I hurt your feelings and really respect playing the game with all of you,”

Todd: He hopes the Jury can understand the many facets of his game: “The main thing I can ask tonight is that you are able to see the difference between my strategic game and the relations that I actually built with you because they were all real.

32
Courtney: admits she was clueless from the beginning and stakes her claim at the million dollars by saying, “I figured out how to survive in a game that was completely physical in the beginning. I started the game weighing ninety-five pounds and I was physically scared to be in this game. You have to give a little credit to the little girl who everyone thought would be gone in the first six days and is still sitting here on day 39.”

THE JURY

One at a time, the Jury attempted to rattle the final three with their strong questioning in order to come to a decision. When Jean-Robert questioned Todd as to why he was voted out, Todd stated, “You are a great strategic player in your daily life. I had to get rid of my greatest strategic threat and that was you.” Amanda and Todd felt more hell questions from Peih-Gee as she questioned their game strategy, while Courtney explained to Frosti and Jaime why she deserves to be there and didn’t just ride the coattails of others to the end. Exhausted from the intense questioning, Todd, Courtney and Amanda await the final vote.


In the end, there should be only ONE WINNER!!!
The Winner of SURVIVOR CHINA with 4 votes from
Jaime, Frosti, Jean-Robert & Peih-gee is :
TODD – The Gay Flight Attendant.

SOLE SURVIVOR

Runner Up : COURTNEY- The Waitress with 2 votes from James & Denise

3rd place : AMANDA- The Beauty Queen : with 1 vote from Erik.

Is he deserving as the SOLE SURVIVOR?
He wasn’t my bet in the first place but TODD played the game so nifty.
Congratulations!!!!!!! He was awarded the million-dollar check that comes with it!
