Survivor:Cook Islands: "So, we have the finale of Survivor: Cook Islands. Ooohhh, final five, not four. Adam tries to persuade Sundra, Ozzy, & Becky to get rid of Yul's immunity. He knows he's goin' home, but it may change the game a little. Genius, but doesn't work. Yul keeps it. We enter the final challenge. Yes, final challenge. A Survivor first, we get a final three, not final two. The Challenge: stand on a post with a flat piece of wood. As time goes by, the wood gets smaller and smaller until it is half the size of a postcard. Becky falls off, then Yul jumps, leaving Ozzy and Sundra. Time eases by. Finally, Sundra can't take it anymore and leaps off the post...with Ozzy leaping to victory! (Yay!) Tribal counsel arrives with Becky and Sundra being in the hot seat...literally. It ends up being a tie and they have to make fire for a tie-breaker. The problem: Neither one can get a spark. After thirty minutes of them scraping flint, Jeff Probst calls, "Stop. Time for matches!". The girls recieve matches. Flames pop up, then fizzle out. Sundra runs out of matches. Becky completes the challenge, sending her to the finals. After a final feast, the final three go to the last tribal counsel. Where they sit there answering the usual questions. Then after the jury votes, Jeff takes the votes, and is whisked away to the live audience. He reads the votes. "Yul", "Yul", "Ozzy","Ozzy", "Ozzy", "Ozzy", "Yul", and "Yul". Four votes for Yul and Ozzy. the final vote says it all. The winner of Survivor: Cook Islands is...Yul! I am saddened. Yul did play a good game, but I was still rooting for Ozzy. I personally didn't like the whole "final three" thing. It was just weird. Oh well.
