After this season ends what will happen....will you make a gabon or wait till gabon is over

My next fanfic won't be premiering until December/January (like I did with China last year) because I simply don't have enough time to write during school any more and keep up a reasonable schedule. I'll write as much as I can in advance during this time, but I won't be posting episodes for a few months.

My next season is probably NOT going to be Gabon, although my final decision will come when I see the cast and figure out what kinds of characters I'd be working with. I have a cast of 16 of my own characters that I created last summer and am planning out a season for, and I would really like to do that as my next fanfic, but I haven't fully decided yet. I think that would be more challenging because you wouldn't already know the characters, but potentially a better choice since it would be like watching a totally new season...

ETA: My season may end up being in Africa as well, since that's what I originally planned for it long ago, and I kindof don't want to change my location just because Gabon is in Africa too. We'll see.

Rubak Tribe - Night 36

<'Spooky Night' plays, as the infrared camera shows a fast-forwarded view of the Rubak tribe's beach, and clouds rapidly shift above the calm ocean. A close-up view of the tribe's flag is then shown, before the camera fades out to show several crabs scurrying along the beach. The five castaways can then be seen returning back to camp, as the camera zooms in on Tracy>

Tracy: And then there were five… <The infrared camera then scrolls over to Mikey>

Mikey: Final Five! <Brooke can be heard saying "I can't believe it," before the camera switches angles to show Mary setting her torch up against the side of the shelter>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: Alexis got voted out tonight at Tribal Council. You know, I definitely expected the vote to be four to two, <A side view of Tracy is shown, as she tends to the fire> but we actually had the first three-way tie ever in the history of Survivor, <The camera turns to Eliza and Brooke> and <pause> my strategy of pretending that I was giving up definitely worked exactly how I wanted it to to get to the Final Five. <An infrared view of Mary is shown, before the camera scrolls over to Mikey, Brooke, Tracy, and Eliza again>

Mikey: Anybody getting scared of the jury yet? <The camera now zooms in on Brooke>

Brooke: They're definitely playing hard from the jury box… <Tracy is then shown nodding>

Tracy: Their eyes are deadly… <Eliza can be heard saying "I would not want to face them," as the infrared camera focuses back in on Mary for a few seconds>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> The game's definitely on from this point forward… <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera cuts ahead to show Eliza and Brooke both climbing into the shelter, and then switches angles to show Tracy>

Tracy: <to Mikey> Funny how the dynamic changes every time someone else gets voted out…

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: Every time one person leaves, you know, it's amazing the effects it has on the rest of the tribe. <Mary can be seen eating a piece of coconut> I think Mary's thankful just to be here; <short pause> Mike and I are elated that another plan worked and Alexis went home; <Another close-up view of a watchful Tracy is shown next> and <pause> I think Brooke and Eliza are a little bit chafed by it. They feel had, and you know what? They should… <The infrared camera fades out to show Eliza and Brooke talking in the shelter> Brooke: <to Eliza> Mary should have been gone tonight… <The camera shows a rapid clip of Mary standing nearby, and then switches angles to show a wide-eyed Eliza>

Eliza: <to Brooke> I know; she should have been gone every time! <Tracy can then be seen sitting down in the shelter, as Eliza and Brooke continue to whisper to each other>

Tracy: <to Eliza> Tell me what's wrong, babe… <The infrared camera goes back to Eliza>

Eliza: <to Tracy> Yeah, I do have a problem; <An intruding Mary can be heard saying "I know you do!"> it's her; <short pause> it has nothing to do with you. <Both Eliza and Tracy are then shown again> You know, I respect your strategic move completely… <The infrared camera shows a quick clip of an expressionless Mikey, and then returns to Tracy again>

Tracy: Do you want to talk about it? <Another close-up view of an uneasy Eliza is shown next>

Eliza: <to Tracy> No, I don't want to talk about. I'm fine; <Eliza takes a long pause, as the camera shows a wide view of the five Rubak members> just don't screw me and Brooke and go with Mary… <The camera shows Mikey again, as he looks up>

Mikey: <to Eliza> Do we look like we'd do that to ya? <An unconvinced Eliza is shown again>

Eliza: <to Mikey> Okay. I trust you… <The camera scrolls back over to Mikey>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: Alexis going home tonight was the perfect move for me and for Tracy, because if we need to use Mary for her vote at the next Tribal, <The infrared camera shows a clip of Mary, as she tends to the fire> then we can get her to vote with us because Eliza and Brooke aren't going to. <Eliza and Brooke are then shown again> They can't stand each other; <short pause> they want her gone, and that means that I can pretty much slide into the Final Four because I'm not the target. <The camera focuses back in on a contemplative Mikey for a few seconds> I'm right where I would want to be, and <short pause> yeah, I love this game! <laughs> It's on… <Mikey now claps several times and laughs, before the screen abruptly fades out>

Rubak Tribe - Day 37

<'Chilling Out' plays, as the camera shows an early morning view of the cloudy sky and the dull orange sun can be seen rising. An aerial view of several silhouetted tropical islands is then shown, as the sunlight sparkles off of the waters. The camera then cuts ahead to show a clip of a bat, before fading out to show several Rubak members lying in their shelter>

Brooke: Day 37… <The camera now scrolls over to a groggy Eliza, as she sits up>

Eliza: I can't believe there's only five of us left. <Tracy can be seen brushing her hair> Like, fifteen people have already been voted off and we're all still here… <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera abruptly switches angles to show Mary>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: It's very difficult to trust anyone at this stage. <A clip of Tracy and Eliza talking is shown> You know, people are speaking the words "million dollars" more; <short pause> your feelings and emotions are amplified. <Another close-up view of Mary is shown next> Money definitely does strange things to good people, and I'm definitely willing to do whatever it takes to get to the million dollars. <The camera shows a clip of Eliza and Brooke for a few seconds, as they converse about various legal terms>

Eliza: <to Brooke> I'm so [inaudible]; like, I can't wait to graduate next year… <Brooke can be heard saying "Yeah," before the camera goes back to Mary again>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: My position in the tribe, at this point, is the outsider. <The camera cuts ahead to show Brooke and Eliza talking and laughing> You know, the other four all have an alliance, but <pause> the vote at Tribal Council last night exposed that they're actually two groups within one, <The camera now zooms out to show a wide view of all five Rubak members around the fire> so hopefully I'll be able to play that to my advantage and I won't end up going home… <A spooky shift in the music occurs, as the camera shows a fast-forwarded view of the sky, and then fades out to show Tracy and Mikey walking along the beach>

Tracy: <to Mikey> It'll be interesting to see what the challenge today is. <The camera continues to focus on the two castaways, as they sit down on the side of the boat> How do you feel about Eliza? <A close-up view of a thoughtful Mikey is then shown>

Mikey: <to Tracy> Sometimes you don't know what she's thinkin', you know? <Tracy nods>

Tracy: <to Mikey> I think she'd vote with Brooke in a second. <Mikey can now be seen shifting his expression> I don't think she'd get rid of Brooke to go to the Final Three with us. <The camera shows a rapid clip of Brooke and Eliza> I mean, I'd be surprised if she did… <A close-up view of a pensive Tracy is shown, as the camera continues to show her>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: Since before the merge, Mike and I made an alliance with Eliza saying we'd take each other to the Final Three. <There is a prominent sound, as the camera shows Eliza sitting by the fire> I mean, we were outnumbered seven to three; <short pause> we had no other choice, but I feel that Eliza's going to remain loyal to Brooke, <The camera then scrolls over to Brooke> and if we voted Mary off now, we'd have to go to a tie-breaker at the Final Four. <Another wide view of Tracy and Mikey is then shown again>

Tracy: <to Mikey> We gotta keep Eliza from winning Immunity… <Mikey now nods his head, as Tracy adds "Just so we leave a back-up">

Mikey: <to Tracy> Eliza and Brooke! <A thoughtful Tracy can be seen subtly nodding, as she says "Yeah"> Cause if Brooke wins, she could give Eliza the idol, and then, you know, we're screwed... <Another wide view of both Mikey and Tracy is shown next>

Mikey: <talking aloud> Please be something physical… <laughs> <Mikey is shown again>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: Got a big-time challenge today: <short pause> Final Five. <A clip of Eliza and Brooke sitting in the shelter together is shown> If Eliza or Brooke wins, Mary goes home, which is basically what everyone's talked about for nine days now; <Mikey pauses again, as the camera switches angles to show Mary> uh, going to the Final Four with me, Tracy, Eliza, and Brooke, <The camera returns to Tracy and Mikey> but <long pause> if anybody else wins, we might go to Tribal Council tonight and vote off Eliza, which basically prevents a tie at Final Four and it still gives me and Tracy the power to go with either Brooke or with Mary… <Another close-up view of a contemplative Tracy is shown next>

Tracy: <to Mikey> There's a lot, [inaudible] can happen from here… <The camera zooms back in on Mikey, as he nods his head>

Mikey: <to Tracy> I'm gonna do what I can to win; <short pause> you know that. <The camera continues to show both Mikey and Tracy, as they speak to each other>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: The next challenges are gonna be absolutely crucial for strategy, um, the last three days. <A side view of Tracy is shown> We're talking about taking out Eliza tonight, but <pause> it's imperative that we wait until after the Immunity Challenge today before hatching any plans, <The camera fades out to show a wide view of Eliza, Brooke, and Mary gathered around the fire> because if we go to Mary now and then Eliza wins the challenge and Brooke has the idol, it could blow up, <Another close-up view of Tracy is shown> so <long pause> we'll just let Mary think she's vulnerable. <Mary is shown lying in the shelter, before the camera goes back to Mikey>

Mikey: We have to win; we have to win; we have to win… <Tracy is then shown again>

Tracy: <to Mikey> I hope Mary wins. <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera shows a close-up view of Mikey, and he shifts his expression>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> It's unlikely, but I'm actually hoping that Mary wins because it'll free us up to vote for Eliza without a betrayal, <A spooky shift in the music occurs, as the camera shows Eliza putting a pot of water over the fire> but <long pause> either way, I think it's gonna be Mary or Eliza going home tonight, and that's all that matters… <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera fades out to show the castaways sitting by the fire, before switching angles to show Mary returning back to camp with a treemail message>

Mary: Treemail! <The camera now cuts ahead to show Tracy turning towards Mary>

Tracy: <to Mary> What's it say? <Mikey can be heard saying "Well, it has to be Immunity," before the camera focuses back in on Mary, and she reads the note aloud>

Mary: Indeed you've accomplished a noble task; you've made it to the Final Five.

Today you'll climb up to the top, if you want to stay alive…

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: In this challenge, I'm definitely on my own, <Mikey can be seen grabbing the Immunity necklace> and I really need the Immunity today. <A wide view of the five Rubak members walking out of camp is shown> If I'm don't get it, I'm definitely, you know, on my way out, so I'm gonna do everything I can to win today. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows another close-up view of Mary, and the screen abruptly fades out>

Rubak Tribe - Day 37

<'Reason 2 Lie' plays, as the camera shows underwater footage of a school of striped fish darting through a shallow reef, and then fades into a wide view of the Rubak tribe's beach. The five castaways can be seen arriving back at camp, before the camera zooms in on Mikey>

Mikey: <excitedly> I won a car! Oh, wow! <laughs> <Mary is shown congratulating Mikey>

Mary: <to Mikey> Good job, Mike! <Mikey can then be seen taking off the Immunity necklace>

Mikey: I'm gonna hang this up… <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows Mikey hanging the Immunity necklace from his torch>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: Oh, man! This is perfect, perfect, perfect; <laughs> it couldn't have worked out any better. <A wide view of several Rubak members is shown> Eliza didn't win; Brooke didn't win; <Brooke can be heard saying "Congratulations" to Mikey> there's no way I was gonna let Mary win the car, <The camera switches angles to show Mary again> so <long pause> I ain't goin' home, which means we keep the power completely in our hands and the only sortof question is whether we're gonna vote for Eliza or Mary… <An eerie shift in the music occurs, as the camera scrolls over to Mikey, Eliza, and Brooke>

Mikey: <talking aloud> I'm just gonna chill in the hut, <Mikey now sits down in the shelter> and then people can come talk to me… <Eliza says "Okay," before the camera turns to Mary>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: Well, we just had what we're assuming was our second-last Immunity Challenge. <Another close-up view of Mikey is shown> Mikey B won again; <short pause> that's twice in a row for him, and yeah, I'm definitely a little bit bummed that I didn't win. <The camera returns to Mary again> That would have guaranteed me Final Four, but I could definitely be going home tonight now that I didn't win. <The camera fades out to show the four Rubak alliance members lying in the shelter together>

Eliza: You know, Mary'll go home tonight and then we'll be Final Four like we said… <The camera now zooms in on Tracy, who has a subtle smirk on her face>

Tracy: <to Eliza> Promise you and Brooke won't team up with Mary and vote us off. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera cuts back to both Eliza and Brooke> You don't think Mary'll try to talk you into it? <The camera then zooms in on an uneasy Eliza>

Eliza: <to Tracy> There's no way in hell! <Mikey is then shown looking up> Besides, I already

know she's voting for me anyway, so I have to return the favor. <laughs> <Brooke is shown>

Brooke: Do you promise that you won't team up with Mary… <The camera shows Tracy>

Tracy: <to Brooke> We won't. <The camera now scrolls across the four Rubak members again, before focusing back in on Eliza for a few seconds>

Eliza - CONFESSIONAL: Brooke has the hidden Immunity Idol and the last time it can be played is the Final Five, so I definitely know Mary's gonna be voting for me tonight, <A clip of Mary walking past the fire pit is shown> but Tracy, Mikey, and I made an alliance on Airai to the Final Three, so I feel confident enough with them that it will be Mary going home, <The camera continues to show Mary> and then hopefully they'll be willing to vote each other out at Four. <'Tentative' begins to play, as the camera abruptly cuts ahead to show a clip of Mary, Mikey, and Tracy walking along a jungle path together>

Mary: I'm glad that we're talking, because I've really been wanting to talk to you guys… <The camera now zooms in on Tracy, as there is a brief silence>

Tracy: <to Mary> What about? <Another close-up view of Mary is then shown next>

Mary: Well, I feel like control is slowly slipping out of your hands, you know? <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows a confused Mikey shifting his expression>

Mikey: <to Mary> Why? I mean, what are you hearing from them? <The camera shows Mary>

Mary: Well, I mean, they made an alliance from the beginning that they would never put each other's names down on that paper, <A pensive Tracy can be seen smirking and nodding her head, as she says "I know"> so do you really want to risk another tie or do you want to keep me around so that you have an extra vote? <The camera shows a thoughtful Mikey>

Mikey: <to Tracy> That's a good point… <Tracy is then shown looking up at Mary>

Mary: That's what I wanted to ask you. <The camera continues to show an uneasy Tracy>

Tracy: <to Mary> Who would you vote out? <The camera now zooms out to show another wide view of the three Rubak members talking in the jungle and continues to focus on them>

Mary: <to Tracy> Eliza. <Mikey can be heard saying "It'd have to be…">

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: Mikey and Tracy are both really, really playing the game to win, <A side view of Tracy is shown, as she continues to speak> so I've talked to them a little bit. <The camera then returns to Mary> I made a proposition to them that we could be three and vote out Eliza tonight, so I don't know really exactly how they're gonna vote, but it sounded like they might go for it… <The camera now shows Tracy with a contemplative look on her face>

Tracy: <to Mary> So vote Eliza? <Mary can be seen nodding her head, before she looks up>

Mary: Eliza, yeah… <Another close-up view of Tracy is then shown next>

Tracy: <to Mary> Brooke won't give her the idol? <The camera continues to show Tracy>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: If I have a choice to make it a tie or gain control, I'm gonna gain control, <A clip of Brooke and Eliza sitting in the shallow ocean waters is shown> but <long pause> Mary thinks that she made her proposal and we bought into it. <Tracy, Mary, and Mikey are shown talking again> You know, she has no idea that we already talked about Eliza, so I mean, we'll let her think that we're just going along and we saved her on this one, <The camera zooms in on Mary, who looks relieved> and <pause> that's the way to earn another vote for myself or Mike, if we're not both in the Final Two… <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera zooms out to show another wide view of the three Rubak members>

Tracy: <to Mary> If the three of us are all gonna do it, that's all we need… <Mary nods again>

Mary: <to Tracy> Yeah… <The camera then switches angles to show Mikey>

Mikey: But don't say anything cause if Brooke gives Eliza the idol… <The camera goes back to Mary again, as she interrupts Mikey>

Mary: <to Mikey> Nothing's being said about anything… <The camera returns back to Tracy>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: We have a plan tonight to take out Eliza, and the only thing that can go wrong would be if Brooke gets suspicious and gives Eliza the idol. <The camera shows Brooke packing her bag, as she puts the hidden Immunity Idol inside of it> That's the only thing. <Tracy is then shown again> Even if she does, I mean, Mary would go home, so Tribal Council tonight is gonna be a win-win if it goes according to plan. <Another clip of Mary, Mikey, and Tracy talking in the jungle is shown>

Tracy: I'm gonna walk back… <The camera shows Mikey and Mary looking towards Tracy, as she walks further away from them and an eerie shift in the music occurs>

Mary: <to Mikey> How good of a shot does Tracy have at winning? <Mikey is shown again>

Mikey: <to Mary> She's got a pretty good shot… <The camera then scrolls back over to Mary>

Mary: <to Mikey> I mean, it doesn't make sense for you to take her to the Final Two, right? <A close-up view of Mikey is shown, as he hesitates before responding> Do you have Final Two with her? <The camera continues to show Mikey>

Mikey: No. Uh, <pause> no one's thrown anything at me for Final Two. <Mary is now shown with a thoughtful look on her face> My alliance with Tracy was to Final Three… <The camera zooms out to show both Mary and Mikey again, as there is a brief silence>

Mary: <to Mikey> Well, if you want to make a deal that you'd take me, <Mikey asks "To Final Two?"> I would definitely go with you… <Mikey is then shown tensing his expression>

Mikey: <to Mary> I think it's gonna get very crazy; <Mary now says "Yeah"> Um, I just need to think about it right now, to be honest with ya… <The camera zooms back in on Mikey again>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: If Mary wants to make a deal with me to take me to the Final Two, then I'm gonna do it. <The camera shows another view of Mary and Mikey> You know, I'm obviously not gonna say "No" but <long pause> why would it make sense for me to take Mary to the Final Two over Brooke or Tracy? <Rapid clips of each of the Rubak members are shown> Mary has three votes locked; <short pause> Tracy has one from Kathy, and Brooke'll have one from Eliza, so that makes Mary the next biggest jury vote threat, after we get rid of Eliza… <'Big Bad Spirits' begins to play, as the camera goes back to Mikey and Mary again>

Mary: <to Mikey> I definitely think your best move is to vote out Tracy at the Final Four, <A quick clip of Tracy is shown> because Brooke would be the easiest for any of us to go up against. <The camera scrolls back over to Mikey, and focuses in on him>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: My whole focus right now is pretty much trying to manipulate Mikey's mind and convince him that he really doesn't want to take Tracy to the Final Two; <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows Tracy> you know, that she's going to get a lot of jury votes, <Tracy can then be seen grabbing her torch> she hasn't really had to betray anyone or lie to anyone, <A wide view of the other castaways is shown> and hopefully, you know, it works out in my favor, starting with Eliza… <The camera shows a clip of an unsuspecting Eliza grabbing her torch, and then scrolls over to both Tracy and Mikey>

Mikey: <to Tracy> She has played the game well though, you know? <An eerie shift in the music occurs, as the camera zooms in on a contemplative Tracy>

Tracy: <to Mikey> She's absolutely played the game well, but so have we…<There is another prominent drumbeat, as the camera switches angles to show Mary grabbing her torch>

Mary - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> Is my fate definitely sealed tonight? Absolutely not. <A wide view of the five Rubak members walking out of camp is shown> It's Tribal Council, and you know, anything can happen… <An aerial view of the castaways rowing to Tribal Council is shown, before the screen abruptly fades out>

Immunity Challenge - Fallen Comrades

<A mysterious music plays, as the camera shows a close-up view of the moon and dark clouds can be seen shifting in front of it. A wide view of the entire main Tribal Council area is then shown, before the camera scrolls across the jury members, and then returns to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: First things first, Mikey: <Jeff can be seen walking over to Mikey> I'll take back the Immunity necklace. <Mikey is shown removing the necklace from his neck and handing it to Jeff> You had it for only a short time, but it served its purpose… <The camera shows a close-up view of Mary, and then switches angles to show a glaring Tracy, before cutting ahead to show Jeff setting the Immunity necklace back up on its stand>

Jeff Probst: Tonight's Immunity Challenge will test how well you've gotten to know your fellow Survivors over the past thirty-seven days. <A rapid view of a Micronesian mask is shown, before the camera fades out to show Mikey> Here's how it works: <The camera then switches angles to show the six jury members> I'm gonna ask you a series of questions about the members of the jury. <Tracy is now shown staring into the distance> Each time you get one right, you score a point. <Brooke can then be seen listening intently, as she subtly nods> At the end of ten questions, <A quick view of Mary is shown> whoever has the most points wins Immunity; <The camera turns to Sherea and Aras> guarantees themselves a spot in the Final Three; <The camera then cuts back to Mikey, as he looks up> cannot be voted out. <Tracy is then shown, as a mysterious flute-type sound is heard. Jeff is then shown again>

Jeff Probst: There are an equal number of questions about each person; <A close-up view of Alexis is then shown next> they'll be drawn randomly from this box to keep things fair. <The camera then returns to the four remaining Rubak members, as Mikey nods his head>

Jeff Probst: Beneath your stools, a paper and pen. <Tracy can be seen reaching down and pulling out the pad of paper> Reach down, pull 'em out. <Mary is now shown holding her paper and pen> We'll get started… <A close-up view of the central fire burning is shown next. The camera then fades out to show another wide view of the Final Four>

Jeff Probst: Alright; first question: <short pause> What is the name of Alexis's non-profit organization? <The camera continues to focus on the four castaways, as they begin to write their answers down. A close-up view of Mary is shown, before the camera fades out to show Alexis with a subtle smile on her face, and then scrolls back over to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Reveal... <Tracy can be seen turning her answer over, before the camera scrolls across each of the Rubak members. The camera zooms in on Mary's answer: "That Girl">

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: "I Am That Girl." <Alexis can now be seen smiling> Tracy got it right; <A rapid clip of Tracy is shown> Mary got it right; <The camera shows Mary subtly nodding her head> and Brooke got it right… <Brooke is shown holding up her answer, which says "I Am That Girl." Jeff is then shown again, as he looks down at the next question>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <short pause> In what European country did Aras play professional basketball? <The camera shows a close-up view of Aras, and then fades out to show Tracy looking down at her answer pad with a thoughtful expression on her face. Mary can then be seen writing her answer down, before the camera switches angles to show Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Everybody reveal. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows Brooke revealing her answer, and then turns to Mikey, who answered "Lithuania">

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: Lithuania. <Aras is shown nodding his head, before the camera zooms out to show all six jury members, and then returns to Jeff> Everybody got it right, except Brooke… <Brooke can be seen staring ahead, before Jeff is shown again>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <Jeff takes a short pause, as he reads the question aloud> Who, on the jury, has a dog named Wilson Von Barkypants? <Tracy can be seen smiling, as she immediately begins to write a name down on her answer pad. The camera shows Mary looking up at the jury members with a look of concentration on her face. Mikey is then shown, as he finishes writing his answer down and the camera cuts back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Everybody reveal… <A wide view of the four Rubak members is shown, as they all turn their answer pads over. The camera then focuses in on Tracy>

Jeff Probst: Everybody says "Kathy." <Kathy is now shown smiling> You're all right. <Tracy nods her head knowingly, before the camera shows a rapid view of the six jury members>

Jeff Probst: Here's where we're at: <short pause> Mary and Tracy have three. <Quick views of both Tracy and Mary are shown> Mikey B and Brooke have two. <Mikey is now shown with an uncomfortable look on his face, as the camera continues to show him for a few seconds>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <The camera now returns to Jeff, as he pauses> What are Eliza's parents' names? <Tracy is shown closing her eyes, as she thinks> You need to get both right to score a point… <A close-up view of a watchful Eliza is then shown, before the camera fades out to show each of the Rubak members writing their answers down. Mary is now shown looking up, before the camera scrolls back over to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Everybody reveal… <The camera shows Mikey turning his answer over, which says "Emily and Steve." Tracy is then shown turning towards her tribemates, before the camera zooms in on Brooke, who answered correctly>

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: Susan and Steve. <Eliza is now shown smiling and nodding her head, before the camera turns to Tracy, who wrote "Steven & Susan"> Tracy got it right; <Eliza is now shown with a thoughtful look on her face> and Brooke got it right… <Brooke can be seen staring ahead blankly, before the camera goes back to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: After four questions, Tracy is in the lead with four. <A view of both Kathy and Ian is shown> Mary and Brooke have three; <Rapid clips of Brooke and Mary are shown next> Mikey has two… <Mikey is then shown covering his face with his answer pad>

Jeff Probst: Still anybody's game… <The camera scrolls across each of the Rubak members, and then fades out to show Jeff pulling out the next question>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <short pause> Who was born in Pontiac, Michigan? <Tracy is shown widening her eyes, before the camera shows an uncertain Mikey looking up at the jury members and trying to use a process of elimination. Tracy can also be seen looking up at the jury members. The camera fades out to show Ian staring ahead, and then scrolls over to Sherea, before zooming in on a burning torch, and then fading out to show Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Reveal… <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows an uncertain Tracy turning her answer pad over and then zooms in on her answer: "Sherea." Mikey is then shown holding up his answer, which says "Ian?" before the camera cuts back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: Sherea. <The camera switches angles to show Mikey again>

Mikey: Damn it… <Another view of Jeff is then shown next>

Jeff Probst: Everybody got it right except Mikey… <Mikey can now be seen shaking his head, before the camera shows a wide view of the six jury members and then returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Here's where we're at: <The camera now shows the four Rubak members again> Tracy now in the lead with five; <A close-up view of a contemplative Tracy is shown> Brooke and Mary both have four; <Mary is shown staring ahead> Mikey B with two… <A disappointed Mikey now shakes his head again, before the camera turns back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Remember, at the end of ten questions, whoever has the most right wins Immunity. <A close-up view of the Immunity necklace is shown, before the camera fades out to show Tracy> Five questions left. <An eerie shift in the music then occurs, as the camera focuses back in on Jeff, who looks down at the next question>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <short pause> How many brothers does Alexis have? <Another view of Alexis is shown, before the camera switches angles to show the castaways writing their answers down, and then abruptly cuts back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Everybody reveal… <Quick clips of the castaways turning over their answer boards are now shown. A view of Brooke is shown, as the camera zooms in on her answer>

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: 4. <The camera scrolls across each of the Rubak members, who all answered "Four"> Everybody got it right… <The camera shows Alexis smiling, and then looking over at Aras, as he whispers something to her. Jeff is then shown again>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <Jeff begins to read the seventh question aloud> Who recently took a trip to Africa to shoot a documentary film about HIV and AIDS? <A wide view of the six jury members is shown, as the camera scrolls across them and then fades out to show Mikey writing his answer down. Tracy is shown with a puzzled look on her face, before she looks back down at her answer and the camera returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Okay; <short pause> let's reveal… <The camera shows a close-up view of Tracy, as she reveals her answer: "Alexis">

Jeff Probst: Tracy says "Alexis;" <The camera focuses in on Tracy> Mikey B says "Sherea;" <A close-up view of Sherea is then shown, as she tenses her expression> Mary and Brooke both say "Ian." <Another view of Jeff is then shown>

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: Ian. <Tracy can then be seen raising her eyebrows, before the camera switches angles to show Ian looking up and subtly nodding>

Jeff Probst: Mary and Brooke move in to a three-way tie for the lead with six. <Mikey is shown subtly shaking his head> Mikey B still with three… <An expressionless Brooke is then shown, before the camera shows another rapid clip of Ian, and then goes back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <short pause> In which branch of the armed service did Kathy serve in and work as a plumber? <Mary is shown with a confused look on her face, before the camera shows an uneasy Mikey, and then scrolls over to Brooke, who looks down blankly at her answer pad. The camera cuts ahead to show a close-up view of Kathy, and then scrolls over to the central fire, before fading out to show Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Everybody reveal… <A close-up view of Mary is now shown, as she turns her answer over. The camera then zooms in on Tracy, who answered "Navy">

Jeff Probst: Only Tracy scores on that one. <Jeff is now shown again> Tracy moves back into the lead with seven. <The camera switches angles to show another clip of Tracy> Because there are only two questions left and there's no way you can win, Mikey, <The camera now scrolls over to a tense-looking Mikey> no need for you to answer anymore. <A prominent sound is heard, as Mikey sets his answer pad down and the camera goes back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Either Tracy, Mary, or Brooke will win Immunity… <A wide view of the three Rubak women is shown, before Jeff pulls out the next question and looks down at it>

Jeff Probst: Next question: <short pause> Who got their Bachelor's Degree in international relations and Spanish? <The camera shows a quick view of Alexis, and then switches angles to show the three castaways writing their answers down. Jeff is then shown again>

Jeff Probst: Everybody reveal. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows rapid clips of the Rubak members all revealing their answers>

Jeff Probst: Correct answer is: Alexis. <The camera focuses in on Brooke, who answered "Alexis"> Everybody earns a point. <Another wide view of the six jury members is shown, before the camera zooms in on Eliza, and then cuts back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Okay; <short pause> after nine questions, here's where we stand: <The camera now scrolls across each of the Rubak members> Tracy has eight; <Tracy can now be seen looking up> Brooke and Mary still tied with seven. <Both Brooke and Mary are then shown next> That means, Tracy, <The camera focuses in on Tracy again> if you get this right, regardless of whether anyone else does, you win Immunity… <The music now becomes more dramatic, as the camera shows Jeff pulling out the tenth question>

Jeff Probst: Here we go! <Jeff now looks down at the question, before reading it aloud> Last

question: <short pause> What university did Ian attend? <A close-up view of a watchful Ian is shown, before the camera turns to show Tracy writing her answer down in her pad, and then switches angles to show a close-up view of Mary. Another view of Ian is then shown, as the camera focuses on him for a few seconds. Jeff is then shown next>

Jeff Probst: Alright; <pause> we're gonna reveal one at a time, starting with Mary. <Mary can be seen turning her pad over to reveal her answer: "Pennsylvania State University"> Mary says "Penn State." <Jeff is now shown again> "Penn State" is correct. <A relieved Mary is now shown smiling> That brings you up to eight… <The camera then scrolls over to Brooke>

Jeff Probst: Brooke: <Brooke is now shown turning her answer pad over> "Pennsylvania State" is correct. <Brooke can be seen nodding her head, before the camera returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Tracy, <pause> if you get this right, you win. <A close-up view of Tracy is shown, as the camera focuses on her> If not, we have a three-way tie for the lead. <The camera shows a quick view of the six jury members exchanging glances> Let's reveal. <A confident Tracy turns over her answer board, revealing "Pennsylvania State." A prominent drumbeat is then heard, as the camera returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: <talking loudly> Tracy wins Immunity! <A victory theme begins to play, as the camera shows several jury members with impressed looks on their faces, and then cuts back to the Rubak members. Jeff can be seen grabbing the Immunity necklace and standing up>

Jeff Probst: Let me bring this over… <Jeff is now shown handing the necklace to Tracy, who gives him a subtle nod and then puts the necklace around her neck>

Mikey: <to Tracy> Congratulations… <Tracy says "Thanks," as Jeff sits back down again>

Jeff Probst: Tracy is safe from the vote tonight. <The camera continues to focus on Tracy for a few seconds> Mary, Brooke, Mikey B, <A wide view of the other three Rubak members is then shown, as Jeff pauses> one of you goin' home right now… <A steady drumbeat sounds, as the camera shows quick clips of each of the castaways again, and then scrolls over to the six jury members. The screen then abruptly fades out>

Rubak Tribe - Day 38

<'Haunted Fields' plays, as the camera shows a silhouetted view of the Rubak tribe's island and clouds can be seen shifting around it, as night turns to morning on Day 38. A lone bird is shown soaring through the sky, before the camera switches angles to show the tide washing against the Rubak tribe's boat. The camera then turns to show Tracy tending to the fire>

Tracy: <talking aloud> Finally here; <short pause> Day 38… <The camera now cuts ahead to show Brooke lying awake in the shelter, and zooms in on her>

Brooke - CONFESSIONAL: It was a little frustrating for Tracy and Mikey to vote Eliza out last night, <Mikey can be seen chopping forcefully into a coconut> and then after dealing with that shock, Jeff shocked us all again when we had to vote off someone else right after. <The camera then returns to both Mikey and Tracy>

Mikey: <to Tracy> The worst-case scenario is Brooke winning. <Tracy says "Mm hmm"> You know, that's the worst thing that could happen… <Another close-up view of Tracy is shown>

Tracy: <to Mikey> It's not over yet! <The camera scrolls back over to Mikey again>

Mikey: <to Tracy> We got a 66% chance… <Mikey continues speaking to Tracy, before the camera abruptly switches angles to show a watchful Brooke in the shelter>

Brooke - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> Thankfully, it was Mary, but <pause> I actually tied it up at the end and let Mikey and Mary face off, <Brooke can now be seen walking over to Tracy and Mikey, as Tracy says "Hey"> partly because I'm hoping that I'll get Mary's vote in the end, but <long pause> I'm just glad to see two people gone and be that much closer to the million dollars… <An upbeat flute-type music begins to play, as the camera shows a clip of Mikey reaching into the treemail basket and pulling out a map. The camera then cuts ahead to show Mikey returning back to camp with it>

Mikey: <talking loudly> Got our last treemail! <Tracy and Brooke are then shown looking excited, as the camera zooms in on a smiling Brooke>

Brooke: Wooh! <Mikey is then shown again, as he looks down at the piece of parchment>

Mikey: Alright; <short pause> you guys ready? <Tracy can be heard saying "Yeah," as the camera focuses back in on Mikey, and he reads the treemail message aloud>

Mikey: Congratulations Final Three. You have done what seventeen of your fellow tribesmen and women could not. <The camera now shows Tracy eating a piece of coconut> Today you will honor their memories before proceeding to your final Immunity Challenge. <Another wide view of the three Rubak members is shown> Get into your boat and follow the map to the marked island. <The camera fades out to show an aerial view of a tropical island> Proceed along the beach to the ancient stone path. <A view of a jungle path lined with various money stones is then shown> There you will find the torches of your fallen comrades. <A close-up view of Eliza's torch is shown> Reflect upon them and their time here in Micronesia, <The camera then fades out to show a faraway view of Kathy's torch> as they each played a part in getting you to this point. <Another close-up view of Mikey is then shown next> You will then proceed to your final Immunity Challenge… <The camera now scrolls back over to Tracy>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: Anybody that made it any amount of days on Survivor, they're tough and you have to give 'em credit. <The camera shows the castaways grabbing their torches> You know, I'm thankful to still be here, and it's important to look back and reflect on what's gotten you to this point. <A clip of the Final Three Rubak members walking along their beach is shown> Um, <pause> there's not just one winner and one loser in this game. <A close-up view of Brooke is now shown> You have to fill all the spots in between, and I can tell you this: <short pause> there were some amazing competitors… <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows the three Rubak members pushing their boat out into the water and beginning to paddle ahead. The screen then fades out>

Rites of Passage

<'Micronesia Rites of Passage' begins to play, as the camera shows a view of a seabird soaring through the clear blue sky, and then fades out to show a side view of the Final Three Rubak members rowing through the shallow ocean waters. A faraway view of the castaways paddling past several tropical islands is shown, as the camera scrolls around their boat, and then fades out to show a clip of the three castaways hiking up an ancient path lined with money stones. A close-up view of Dave's torch is now shown, before the camera scrolls over to the Rubak members, as they walk closer to it>

Brooke: From the winner to the first voted out. <An eerie sound is heard, as the camera focuses in on Tracy> That's how you know you're a threat… <Mikey is then shown next>

Mikey: Awesome player; horrible thing to lie about… <Tracy can be seen widening her eyes and nodding her head. The camera continues to show the three castaways standing around Dave's torch, and then fades into a clip of him walking out onto the beach on Day One>

Dave: Coming back as a Favorite and a former winner straight from China, <The camera shows Dave talking to Aras and Terry by the fire pit> um, I knew that I was gonna have a giant target on my back and that everyone was gonna be gunning for me, <A clip of Dave attempting to start fire using a makeshift 'fire bow' is shown> but I said "You know what? Screw that," and I gave it a shot anyway. <A prominent sound is heard, as Dave's 'fire bow' breaks> Um, <long pause> I'm glad I took another crack at Survivor. This time, it didn't work out. <Dave can now be seen arguing with Sherea> What can you do? <laughs> Life continues… <The camera shows Jeff snuffing Dave's torch, and then fades into a faraway view of Chet's torch. The camera scrolls closer to it, and then switches angles to show the Rubak members>

Tracy: Chet: <long pause> this could've been me if Chet hadn't have given up… <The camera continues to show the castaways walking up to Chet's torch>

Mikey: <to Tracy> You could've been gone a bunch of times! <laughs> <Tracy is then shown>

Tracy: <to Mikey> Seriously... <Mikey, Brooke, and Tracy now gather around Chet's torch, before the camera focuses back in on it>

Chet: Definitely the whole Survivor experience was a lot harder than I thought it would be, <A weakened Chet is shown sitting down in the shelter> but it's an incredible opportunity. <Tracy can then be seen handing Chet a coconut> I'm not disappointed to go out at such an early stage; <short pause> you know, I'm glad that my tribe granted me my wish, <The camera shows a clip of a worn-out Chet talking to his Airai tribemates> and regardless of how long I lasted, um, this was a dream realized. <Chet is then shown floating in the shallow ocean waters> I'm completely satisfied with my experience in six days, and no one can ever take it away from me… <The camera abruptly fades out to show a close-up view of Erik's nameplate, as the three Rubak members continue to make their way up the ancient path>

Mikey: Erik… <A close-up view of both Brooke and Tracy is then shown>

Tracy: He was one of the biggest Fans in the whole tribe… <The camera continues to focus on Erik's torch for a few seconds, before fading into a clip of an excited Erik walking up Airai's beach for the first time>

Erik: When I think of my time spent on Survivor, the words can't come out of my mouth fast enough. <Erik is now shown drinking from a coconut, as the coconut juice dribbles down his chin> There's some good players out here, and they got me good, <The camera cuts ahead to show Erik talking to several Airai members> but I mean, to even be a part of it is such a rare chance. <A clip of Erik holding out a small fish to Natalie is shown next> I'm very grateful to have been able to play the game, and I'm enjoying it every step of the way. <Jason can be seen handing Jeff the hidden Immunity Idol, before the camera shows Erik with a distressed look on his face> You know, I feel like I've been through something that will forever change me as a person, <Jeff can be seen revealing the final vote for Erik> and <short pause> it's an awesome experience. <There is a prominent drumbeat, as Jeff snuffs out Erik's torch, and the camera fades into an aerial view of the island. The castaways can be seen climbing up the stone steps, before the camera switches angles to show a front view of them>

Tracy: Natalie… <The camera now scrolls over to Mikey>

Mikey: <to Tracy> We got into it a couple times… <A rapid clip of Tracy is now shown again>

Tracy: You know what? I think she would have been threatening. <Brooke can now be heard saying "Yeah," as she nods her head. Another quick clip view of Natalie's torch is then shown, before the camera fades out to show the Airai members walking up their beach on Day One>

Natalie: Me getting voted out at only the fourth Tribal Council was definitely a shock. <The camera now zooms in on Natalie> I can't see why I would've been voted out unless they saw me as a threat? <The camera focuses on Natalie for a few seconds, as she holds Mary up on the roof of the shelter> A powerful woman, maybe? <The camera now shows Natalie and Tracy talking in the shallow ocean waters> I dunno, but I would have beat them all had they not gotten rid of me. <A clip of Natalie confronting Mikey is shown next> There's not even an ounce of doubt in my mind. <A devious Natalie is then shown winking at the camera> Even though I had my experience cut short, you know, I wouldn't give this up for anything in the world. <pause> Absolutely not… <The camera shows a close-up view of Natalie at Tribal Council, and then fades out to show a side view of the three remaining Rubak members climbing the ancient steps. A close-up view of a large circular money stone is shown, before the camera switches angles to show Tracy, Mikey, and Brooke walking up to Earl's torch>

Tracy: I think he was one of the best players to ever play the game. <Brooke is then shown>

Brooke: Yeah; <short pause> we were all shocked when we saw Earl was gone… <The camera shows another view of the castaways standing around his torch>

Tracy: <to Brooke> He got a raw deal… <A close-up view of Earl's torch is then shown. The camera focuses on the nametag, and then fades out to show Earl putting his purple buff around his wrist on Day One>

Earl: I went out of the game probably in one of the biggest blindsides in the history of Survivor, if not the biggest. <The camera shows Earl sitting in the shelter> That's something to be proud of right there. At least people'll remember it and say "Yeah, you're that guy!" <Earl can now be seen swimming towards the shore on Day One> I was definitely going to give it another try since I was so close to winning the first time, <The camera shows a clip of Earl, as he triumphantly grabs the second Immunity necklace on Day One> but I was hoping that I would definitely go further. I had it all figured out. <A mysterious sound is heard, as the camera shows Earl handing the Immunity necklace to Terry> Maybe that's why they had to get rid of me. <laughs> <Jeff can now be seen snuffing out Earl's torch, before the camera fades out to show a view of Ruth Marie's torch, and then cuts ahead to show the three remaining Rubak members gathered around it>

Tracy: Ruth Marie: <short pause> she was Kathy's Favorite… <Brooke is then shown next>

Brooke: I loved Ruth Marie… <The camera zooms in on Ruth Marie's nametag and then fades out to show a close-up view of Ruth Marie, as Ami can be seen braiding her hair>

Ruth Marie: Coming into the game, I was three years slower, but I think I proved that at 50 years-old, I can still compete alongside these young kids and hold my own against them. <A wide view of the Malakal women splashing around in the ocean is shown> I think probably the Fans went back on me a little bit, <The camera then zooms in on Ruth Marie, who has a pink flower in her hair> but you can't blame them. <Ruth Marie is shown searching for the hidden Immunity Idol on Exile Island> You know, it's a game to outwit, outplay, and to outlast, and I got outwitted, <A prominent sound is heard, as Ruth Marie walks right past the second clue, which is at the bottom of a tree trunk> but <long pause> getting to play Survivor twice is a blessing, and <pause> it's been the thrill of a lifetime. <laughs> <An overhead view of the three castaways walking up the ancient pathway is shown, before the camera shows a clip of Ami's torch and then scrolls closer to it>

Brooke: Aw, Ami. <Mikey can be heard saying something inaudible> Losing Ruth Marie and Ami in the same night; <short pause> that's when I knew I was in trouble… <Tracy is shown>

Tracy: She was one of the people that I really wanted to play against and I never got the chance… <The camera continues to focus on the three Rubak members>

Brooke: I learned so much from Ami. <long pause> She was misunderstood by people, I think.

Ami: I am absolutely honored that I got chosen as a Favorite. <A thoughtful-looking Ami is shown sitting alone in Malakal's shelter> Survivor is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and yet I got to do it twice, so I'm just really thankful. <The camera shows a clip of Ami, Sherea, and Brooke talking in a group> My entire game was different, playing the second time around. <A clip of Ami chopping into a coconut is shown> I came in this time with preconceived notions of who I was playing against and a prior reputation from Vanuatu of being a strong woman. <Ami can be seen braiding Ruth Marie's hair in the water, as the camera zooms in on her> I was a little too quick with my plans, and once the tribes were switched, <Ami is shown pulling a new purple buff out of the bag at the Switch> it was a recipe for disaster for my game, but <long pause> I think, this time, I really learned to appreciate the softer side of things. <The camera abruptly fades out to show Terry's torch, and then scrolls over to the Final Three Rubak members walking over to it>

Mikey: Terry, <pause> uh, I respected ya… <Tracy can be heard saying "Tough competitor," as the camera zooms in on Terry's nametag, and then fades out to show a clip of Terry racing across several floating platforms during the fifth Reward Challenge>

Terry: I was so ready to take on this damn game on a second time, <The camera shows Terry forcefully chopping a coconut in half> and <pause> I thought I was gonna be around all the way to the freakin' Final Two. <laughs> I definitely played a smarter and more devious game, but sometimes you can come in with an awesome game plan and have the cards automatically stacked against you. <Aras and Terry can be seen pushing a purple during the second Immunity Challenge> From the first tribe to the new Airai tribe, I was the outsider and <long pause> am I disappointed to be out of the game? <A clip of Earl and Terry talking in a jungle area is shown, before the camera zooms in on Terry> Absolutely, but you know what? I'm going back home to my wife and my kids, and T.D. is a happy man… <Terry is then shown hanging the Immunity necklace from his torch, before a prominent drumbeat is heard, and the camera abruptly cuts ahead to show a close-up view of Joel's torch. The camera now zooms out to show the three Rubak members walking up to it>

Mikey: My buddy, Joel… <A close-up view of a sympathetic Brooke is shown next>

Brooke: I feel really bad for him. <Mikey is then shown again> He definitely didn't want to leave… <The camera now scrolls over to a thoughtful-looking Tracy>

Tracy: Yeah; <short pause> he would've gone far if he hadn't hurt his hand. <The music changes to become more sympathetic, as the camera shows Joel's torch again, and then fades out to show Joel picking up a coconut and chopping into it>

Joel: I went in to Survivor with the goal of playing the game as myself and winning a million dollars, <A clip of Joel and Mikey on Exile Island is shown, as Mikey shows Joel the hidden Immunity Idol> but <long pause> the biggest prize I've taken away is the realization of how much I life my wife and my two boys. <A clip of Joel hugging Kathy is shown> They're always gonna be priority one, and it makes me appreciate my life a lot more. <The camera shows Dr. Sartini examining Joel's bleeding hand>Maybe there won't be a huge financial change, I'm very grateful for this experience, <Joel is shown walking towards the medical boat with his tribemates> and <long pause> my million dollars is waiting for me back in Phoenix… <The camera shows a teary-eyed Joel staring out into the distance, as the medical boat speeds away, and the camera cuts ahead to show a close-up view of a large money stone. The camera scrolls around it, and then fades into several aerial clips of the castaways continuing up the stone path. A close-up view of Jason's nametag is then shown, as the three Rubak members can be seen walking towards it. A close-up view of Tracy is then shown next>

Tracy: Jason: <short pause> he was always working, never stopped. <The camera now scrolls over to a thoughtful-looking Brooke> He really felt like one with the island… <Mikey is shown>

Mikey: Sorry about the idol, buddy… <Another close-up view of Jason's torch is shown, before the camera fades out to show Jason striking the flint with the machete several times, before Airai's first fire ignites and Jason cheers excitedly>

Jason: Coming out here to be a contestant on Survivor has always been a dream of mine. <An underwater clip of Jason swimming through a shallow reef is shown, before he launches the spear at a fish> You know, I got to go out to this beautiful tropical island and really test my own abilities to survive out in the wilderness, <A view of Jason climbing a coconut tree is shown next> and my own competitive nature in the challenges. <A clip from the second Immunity Challenge is shown, as Jason pulls himself up and over a wooden gate> I was definitely a strong competitor, and <pause> the fact that Mikey and Eliza took me out before the merge shows that I was feared. <The camera shows Jason climbing up the ladder of the wooden hut, and then reading the first hidden Immunity Idol clue> Overall, it was an amazing experience for me and it will be something I'll never ever forget… <Jason can now be seen holding up the hidden Immunity Idol, before the screen fades out to show Ian's nametag, and then scrolls over to the three Rubak members>

Mikey: Ian: <short pause> first member of the jury. <The camera now turns to Brooke again>

Brooke: He was so honest… <The camera continues to show the three castaways gathered around Ian's torch, and then zooms back in on his nametag>

Ian: Playing this game a second time, I definitely came here with every intention to win, <Ian is shown striking the flint with the machete, before Malakal's first fire ignites> and to play honestly and do my best. <The camera cuts ahead to show a clip of Earl and Ian constructing a makeshift bathroom> I didn't win, but I got to come back to Palau and I finally played the game that I wanted to play and that I should have played the first time around. <A clip of Ian from Exile Island is shown, as he digs through the sand for the hidden Immunity Idol> I played the game the way that's true to Ian, and sleep well at night, <An infrared clip of an unbalanced Ian is shown, as he stumbles forward and grabs the side of the shelter> so <pause> I'm 100% happy with how it turned out… <laughs> <Jeff is shown snuffing out Ian's torch, as a prominent sound is heard, and the camera shows Kathy's torch along the right side of the screen>

Mikey: Krazy Kathy. Sorry I had to vote ya out… <The camera now zooms in on Tracy, as the Final Three castaways gather around Kathy's torch>

Tracy: I love Kathy… <Another wide view of the three Rubak members is then shown next>

Brooke: Sometimes funny, sometimes crazy, but never a dull moment… <Tracy can be seen putting her hand on Kathy's torch, as the camera fades out to show Kathy stepping out of the Palauan war canoe on Day One, and then tripping and falling forward>

Kathy: Never in my wildest dreams or my biggest nightmares would I have ever guessed that I would make it for 27 days and still be alive to talk about it. <laughs> <Kathy can be seen walking along a jungle path with the machete> Three days was a fluke; <short pause> six days was an accomplishment, <The camera shows a clip of Kathy putting the Immunity necklace around her neck at the fourth Tribal Council> and everything behind that was just a miracle. <A blindfolded Kathy is shown crawling helplessly during the fourth Immunity Challenge, as she moves further away from the puzzle pieces and weeps> The game of Survivor is by far the most difficult thing I've ever done, but I'm proud that I made it through and got to live the dream and meet the Favorites. <A side view of Kathy is shown, as she pours milk into a cup of coffee and then slowly stirs it> It's an experience that changed me tremendously and I'm forever grateful that a 45 year-old, you know, wacky person got the opportunity. <Kathy is now shown coming up from the water with a fish impaled on the spear, as she screams. The camera then fades out to show Sherea's torch and scrolls closer to it>

Brooke: Oh, Sherea. <laughs> <A clip of both Tracy and Mikey is now shown next>

Tracy: She was just, no BS… <The camera switches angles to show Sherea's torch again>

Sherea: The game strips away everything you think you need on a day-to-day basis you get by. <Brooke and Sherea are both shown sitting in the shallow ocean waters together> You know, you literally are surviving. <The camera shows Sherea standing in front of the shelter> There's no way that you can truly be prepared for what you have to go through out here, <A blindfolded Sherea is then shown during the fourth Immunity Challenge, as she switches directions and begins to walk the opposite way> but <long pause> doin' two Survivors back-to-back was a lot easier for me than I thought it would be. <Sherea is now shown looking out the window of a helicopter, as the camera continues to focus on her> I definitely shut my mouth a lot more this time and was more into the strategic part of the game. <Sherea can now be seen dancing with several children at the Micronesian village> You know, I'm so proud of beating Dave, <An eerie sound is heard, as Sherea and Dave are shown arguing> and I was definitely surprised at myself… <The camera now fades out to show the three Rubak members continuing to walk along the ancient stone path, and then zooms in on Aras' torch. The castaways can then be seen gathering around it, as the camera focuses on them>

Mikey: Aras, <Mikey pauses, as the camera shows Aras again> hands-down one of the best physical competitors the game's ever seen… <Brooke is then shown nodding her head>

Brooke: Yeah, I give him mad props for how he did in the challenges… <The camera now fades out to show a clip of Aras walking along the beach with the fishing spear>

Aras: The biggest moment in the game for me might very well have been that last Immunity Challenge, <A clip from the challenge is shown, as Aras displays a stunned and distressed look on his face> when Tracy basically got her alliance to team up against me, <Aras can be seen frantically chopping through Malakal's wooden beams during the third Immunity Challenge> but <long pause> the fact that I was perceived by virtually everyone as this huge threat is, um, kindof a feather in my cap, <The camera shows Aras stretching and doing yoga on the beach> and if that's why I was voted off, I'll take that. <Aras is shown swimming out from underneath the steel grate and then resurfacing from the water> I am very proud of how far I made it in this game. <Jeff can be seen putting the Immunity necklace around a smiling Aras' neck> You know, I made it to 6/16 in Panama, and this time, I was 7/20, and <pause> 33 days is definitely not easy. <The camera then fades out to show a close-up view of Alexis' nametag, before scrolling over to the three Rubak members, as they walk up to it>

Mikey: Alexis, <long pause> I'll tell ya, she put up a fight… <Tracy can be seen nodding, as she says "Yes, she did," and the camera goes back to Alexis' torch>

Alexis: Getting to know the Favorites more as regular people, it definitely shows that anybody can do this. <The camera shows a clip of Alexis stretching on the beach with Aras and Mary>

You know, there's definitely an amazing reward to be had at the end of the game. <An infrared view of Alexis is shown, as she climbs into the hammock with Mikey> When you go up and look Jeff in the eyes and he snuffs your torch out, <The camera shows Jeff snuffing out Alexis' torch> it's hard to come to terms that you're out of the game, but <long pause> I'm very proud of how long I lasted. <Alexis can be seen holding onto the green rope, which is holding up her net during a challenge> I mean, 36 days is well-over halfway; <short pause> three days from the end. <Another close-up view of a smiling Alexis is shown next> You know, to make it as far as I did, that's incredible, I think… <The music now changes to become more sympathetic again, as the camera fades out to show Eliza's torch. The camera continues to focus on it for a few seconds, and then turns to the three Rubak members>

Brooke: Poor Eliza… <Tracy can be heard saying "Oh, Eliza," as Mikey is shown again>

Mikey: Thanks for keepin' me in the game; <short pause> you know, I appreciate it… <Another close-up view of Tracy is shown next, as Brooke says something inaudible>

Tracy: She was another amazing competitor… <The camera then fades out to show a tearful Eliza reading a letter from her boyfriend, Justin>

Eliza: I just love the game of Survivor, and that's the reason why I had no hesitation when I was asked to come back and play. <A clip of Eliza from the Micronesian village Reward is shown> As miserable as I was with the rain and being cold and hungry again, being uncomfortable when you slept, <An infrared clip of Eliza in the shelter is shown, as Mary tugs on her blanket> and everything else we went through, I loved every minute of it. <The camera shows Eliza tossing her orange Airai buff down onto the ground> I would love to still be in the game, playing it until the last second, <Eliza can then be seen putting her new teal buff on> but I'm okay with where I was voted off because I feel like there's nothing I could have done. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows a stunned Eliza at Tribal Council> It's funny because I was determined to not make the same mistakes, <Jeff can be seen snuffing out Eliza's torch> and yet I ended up in the exact same spot… <laughs> <The camera now fades out to show a faraway view of Mary's torch, and then abruptly zooms in on it. The camera then switches angles to show the three Rubak members walking up to it>

Mikey: Mary… <The camera continues to focus on the three castaways for a few seconds>

Tracy: The last one to go… <Another view of Mary's torch is shown next, as the camera zooms in on it and then fades out to show Mary is shown draping palm fronds and leaves over the roof of the Airai tribe's shelter>

Mary: The game of Survivor is so all-encompassing: <short pause> you know, it requires physical strength, <A clip from the second Reward Challenge is shown, as a tied-up Mary squeezes through a narrow opening in a wooden fence> mental strength, emotional strength, strategy and knowing who you can and can't trust, <The camera shows Mary massaging Aras' shoulders, and continues to focus on her for a few seconds> and I definitely see myself now as a much stronger person for making it through so many tough situations. <Mary is shown on Exile Island, as she searches for the hidden Immunity Idol> I believe I have a little more power to overcome obstacles in my life, <A clip of Mary confidently handing the hidden Immunity Idol to Jeff is shown> and I'm just really thankful that I was out here and had this amazing experience to take back home. <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera shows a close-up view of a distressed Mary, and then fades out to show the Final Three Rubak members continuing along the ancient stone path. 'Beyond The Island' then begins to play, as the camera focuses back in on Mikey for a few seconds>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: Walking past all the torches lets me know that I've come a long way, and I'm still in the game; <short pause> I'm still playin' it hard. <The castaways can be seen standing with their arms around each other> I mean, I've gotten this far. My alliance to with Tracy lasted 'til the Final Three, <The camera now zooms back in on Tracy> and to be honest with you, I'm not here to help somebody else win a million bucks; <short pause> I'm here to help Mikey B win a million bucks, <A wide view of the three Rubak members paddling towards another island is shown> and if that means winning the challenge and taking Brooke to the end with me, I'm gonna do it. <The camera focuses in on Brooke, as she paddles> I'm gonna fight like hell to win… <The camera then shows a wide aerial view of several tropical islands, before the screen abruptly fades out>

Rubak Tribe - Day 38

<'Deep Enigma Yearning' plays, as the camera shows a wide view of the vast ocean, and whitewater waves come crashing down over the cool blue waters. An aerial view of several tropical islands is then shown, before the camera shows a clip of a centipede scurrying across a log, and then switches angles to show the three Rubak members returning back to camp>

Mikey: Damn bugs! <The camera continues to focus on Mikey for a few seconds>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: Tribal Council tonight; <short pause> final Immunity at stake, and I'm hanging there on a piece of wood like an idiot trying to scratch my back… <Tracy and Brooke are now shown examining Mikey's back, as he tries to reach his side with one arm>

Mikey: I got bit there; <Mikey now moves his arm lower> I got bit there… <The camera continues to show the three Rubak members, and then zooms in on Mikey>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> You know, I just lost my concentration, I guess. <A clip of Tracy is shown next> Now either myself or Tracy's going home, and I feel a little disheartened, to be honest because my gut says that she's gonna bring Tracy… <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera focuses back in on Mikey again>

Mikey: That was a brutal, brutal challenge… <The camera now turns to an immune Brooke>

Brooke: <to Mikey> Yeah; <short pause> that was tough. <The camera then cuts ahead to show Brooke hanging the Immunity necklace from her torch>

Brooke - CONFESSIONAL: We just had our final Immunity Challenge today, and I lasted, I think, almost two hours; <short pause> I definitely knew I needed to win this one to prove to the jury that I got to the Final Two on my own. <A view of both Tracy and Mikey is shown next> I mean, I was on the outskirts of Tracy and Mikey's alliance, <The camera zooms back in on Mikey> and now I'm breaking them up and sending one of them to the jury and one of them to the Final Two. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows another view of Brooke, as she hugs Tracy. Mikey is then shown again>

Mikey: I'm impressed. I mean, you both kicked my damn butt! <laughs> <Brooke is now shown smiling, as the camera zooms back in on her>

Brooke: <to Mikey> I definitely wasn't going anywhere… <laughs> <Mikey is shown next>

Tracy: <to Brooke> I respect you so much; <short pause> you know that… <A mysterious shift in the music now occurs, as the camera continues to focus on Tracy>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: Truthfully, my heart wasn't 100% in the challenge. <The camera shows Mikey talking to Tracy> I didn't want to make that decision of having to vote out either Brooke or Mike, so I made it look like I gave it my best and just came up short. <Another close-up view of Tracy is then shown next> I mean, I feel like it was an Academy Award… <The camera switches angles to show Mikey, as indistinct conversation can be heard>

Mikey: <to Tracy> I thought you were gonna hang up there all friggin' day… <The camera now zooms back in on a sad-looking Tracy, as she hesitates for a few seconds before responding>

Tracy: <to Mikey> I mean, I'm disappointed in myself… <Another view of Tracy is then shown>

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> It was definitely a risk, but <pause> I figure this way I won't be screwing Mike over to get to the Final Two, <The camera continues to show both Mikey and Tracy> so I think I should get his vote on the jury. <Brooke is then shown sitting in the shelter> You know, if Brooke takes Mike, that's one million dollar mistake that I made and, uh, I'll live with the consequences… <'Hunted' begins to play, as the camera cuts ahead to show a clip of Mikey and Brooke both walking along the beach together>

Mikey: <to Brooke> Are we allowed to discuss it, or…? <The camera turns to Brooke>

Brooke: <to Mikey> Oh; <short pause> yeah, I definitely want to talk to both of you before Tribal Council… <Another close-up view of Mikey is shown next>

Mikey: Okay; I just want to get my point across, you know? <The camera now scrolls around Mikey> Um, the only thing I can say is that I think Tracy has a guaranteed vote from Kathy; <The camera fades out to show a rapid clip of Tracy> I don't feel that I have a guaranteed vote. <There is a prominent sound, as Brooke subtly nods her head>

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: Making it to the Final Two and having a chance to win a million bucks, it would mean a lot. <The camera switches angles to show Mikey again> You know, I didn't want my life to be left in Brooke's hands, but <long pause> as long as I can convince her to take me to the Final Two, which is one of only two options, then I'm fine with it. <Another view of both Mikey and Brooke talking on the beach is shown>

Brooke: <to Mikey> I just need to think about it… <Mikey is then shown again>

Mikey: <to Brooke> Don't take too much time, <The camera continues to show Mikey and Brooke for a few seconds> cause if you keep thinkin' about it, it's gonna keep getting more and more complicated… <Brooke can be seen shifting her expression, as she says "Yeah">

Mikey - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> Tracy and I are definitely gonna be fighting for our spot in the Final Two, so <long pause> it's gonna get interesting… <laughs> <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows a fast-forwarded view of the Rubak tribe's beach, as the clouds rapidly shift. Brooke is then shown sitting by the fire, as Tracy walks up to her>

Tracy: <jokingly> So what are you gonna do? <The camera zooms in on an uncomfortable Brooke, as she looks up at Tracy>

Brooke: <to Tracy> It's just a really awkward position… <Tracy is then shown again>

Tracy: <to Brooke> I know… <The camera switches angles to show another view of Brooke>

Brooke: <to Tracy> I mean, what would you do if you were in my spot? <The camera zooms out to show a wide view of both Brooke and Tracy again>

Tracy: <to Brooke> I think you have to put yourself in the best position. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows an alarmed Mikey sitting in the shallow ocean waters> You know, do you want to go up against me, or would you rather go up against Mike? <The camera shows another close-up view of a thoughtful-looking Brooke>

Brooke: I just feel like you're both pretty even. <Tracy now nods her head knowingly>

Tracy: <to Brooke> I'd like to stay. <Brooke is shown listening intently> I mean, I'm gonna be honest, but I think Mike would get at least Ian and Aras that I wouldn't. <There is an eerie shift in the music, as the camera returns to Mikey> That's why, I think, <short pause> the Final Two was two guys last time, so why not make it two women? I think the guys would vote for Mike…

Tracy: <to Brooke> Your chances are better with me. <Brooke is shown with a contemplative look on her face, as there is an extended silence> Just think about it, okay? <The camera then zooms out to show Mikey walking over to Tracy and Brooke, as Brooke turns her head>

Brooke: <talking aloud> We shall all find out in a couple hours. <Mikey is then shown picking up the machete> Neither of you wants to volunteer? <A comical sound is now heard, as the camera shows Mikey looking up at Brooke>

Mikey: <to Brooke> I'll volunteer to go to with you to the Final Two… <laughs> <Brooke is then shown again, as the camera shows Tracy with an uncomfortable smirk on her face>

Brooke - CONFESSIONAL: The decision tonight is solely in my hands, and I'm definitely not gonna be swayed by Tracy or Mikey. <A clip of the three Rubak members grabbing their torches is now shown> To be honest, I don't know if I have that great a shot against either of them; <short pause> I think that they would both be a shoe-in for a lot of the same votes, so all I can do tonight is look at every possible scenario <The camera then shows Tracy, Brooke, and Mikey walking out of camp> and try to give myself the best chance of winning because I definitely didn't come here to play for second place… <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows the castaways rowing to Tribal Council, and the screen fades out>

Tribal Council #17 - Rubak Tribe

<'Tally the Vote' plays, as the camera shows a fast-forwarded view of the blazing sun setting in the darkening sky, and then fades out to show a faraway view of the Micronesian village Tribal Council. The aerial camera scrolls closer to it, and then fades into a side view of the three Rubak members making their way across the wooden dock. Jeff is then shown, as Tracy can be seen walking past him, and the camera zooms out to show a wide view of the main Tribal Council area. The three castaways set their torches down and sit on the benches, before the camera shows a close-up view of an uneasy Mikey, and then focuses back in on Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: We'll now bring in the members of our jury: <An immune Brooke is shown staring into the distance, before the camera turns to show the seven jury members> Ian, Kathy, <The camera zooms in on Kathy> Sherea, Aras, Alexis, <A wide view of the three Rubak members is then shown, as Aras and Alexis walk past them> Eliza, and Mary, <Rapid views of Eliza and Mary are shown, before the camera shows the jury members sitting down> voted out at the last Tribal Council. <Another view of Jeff is shown next>

Jeff Probst: Let's get right to it: <short pause> after 38 days, this game will end tonight for somebody. <Another view of Brooke, Tracy, and Mikey is shown> That somebody will not be you, Brooke, <The camera zooms in on an expressionless Brooke, as she subtly nods her head> wearing Immunity. <Jeff is now shown again> It is also the final and most important Immunity, and it gives you the power to choose, either Tracy or Mikey B, <Quick clips of both Mikey and Tracy are then shown> two people who've been together since the beginning, who will sit next to you in the Final Two. <The camera then focuses back in on Brooke> We will then turn this game over to the jury… <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows Ian smiling, and then goes back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Let's talk about the final Immunity Challenge: <A wide view of the three remaining Rubak members is shown> Mikey B, you've played this game for 38 days; <short pause> been to a lot of Tribal Councils. <Mikey is shown with a subtle smile on his face, as the camera zooms in on him> It had to be a little disappointing to #1, be first out of the challenge, <A rapid clip of Alexis is now shown, as she looks up> and #2, have a 50% chance of going home tonight… <The camera abruptly cuts back to Mikey>

Mikey: I think the most frustrating thing was that I didn't fall off or step down because it was too painful to hang on. <Both Brooke and Tracy are then shown listening intently> You know, it was definitely killing my hands and my arms, but I dealt with that. <Aras is now shown staring ahead> Um, my back was getting chewed by bugs and it was itching, and I just lost concentration for a second and let go. <The camera focuses back in on Mikey again> I'll tell you, it happened fast. I was like, "Whoa! I'm in the water…" <laughs> <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows a close-up view of Sherea, and then returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: How 'bout for you, Tracy? <Tracy is now shown> You came this close to having a guaranteed spot in the Final Two… <The camera continues to show a smirking Tracy, as she subtly nods her head>

Tracy: I know; <short pause> it was gut-wrenching. <A wide view of several jury members is now shown> I mean, I fought with everything I had. <Kathy is then shown> I knew I had the support of my family, and I feel that I battled my heart out for myself and for Mike. <The camera shows Eliza raising her eyebrows> Unfortunately, I just let go, and you know, I'll have the rest of my life to live with that, good or bad, <The camera goes back to Tracy> because I'll never be back here holding onto that again. <An eerie shift in the music occurs, as the camera scrolls across the three remaining Rubak members, and then returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: <to Tracy> Well, it sounded like after he fell off, Mikey was cheering you on a little bit. <The camera shows Mary staring into the distance> Did you catch that? <Another view of Tracy is then shown next, as she nods her head again>

Tracy: Yeah; <short pause> he was counting on me to win for him, and <pause> I just couldn't do it. <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera turns to Alexis and Aras> You know, I let him down and I let myself down. <Tracy is shown again> Um, Brooke stayed up there an hour-and-a-half; <short pause> she was strong, and she definitely deserved it… <There is a prominent sound, as the camera shows Brooke smiling and then returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Brooke, <long pause> Tracy and Mikey had both won two individual Immunities already each, <Another view of the Final Three is shown> and <pause> you came through on the last one. <Eliza is shown smiling> Suddenly you're sitting in the most enviable position in the game. <A close-up view of Ian is shown, before the camera returns to Jeff> How's it feel having that Immunity necklace around you? <The camera now zooms back in on Brooke>

Brooke: Oh, it feels great! <laughs> I definitely knew that along with winning the challenge I was gonna have a huge decision to make tonight, <A wide view of the seven jury members is shown> but I was also pretty confident that the only way I would get to the Final Two was with this necklace around my neck, <Another view of Brooke is shown next> so there was pretty much no stopping me out there today. <laughs> I was gonna do anything I could to win… <A clip of Mary is shown, as she tenses her expression. Jeff is then shown again>

Jeff Probst: <to Brooke> How tough is tonight's decision for you? <The camera shows Sherea with a stern look on her face> Because, need I remind you, if you pick the right person, you could be a millionaire; <A close-up view of Brooke is then shown, as she nods> if you pick the wrong person, you're not… <The camera focuses in on Mikey for a few seconds, and then scrolls back over to Brooke>

Brooke: It's definitely the most difficult decision I've made in the game, <A quick clip of both Alexis and Eliza is shown> but I mean, I didn't want to be carried into the Final Two by Tracy or Mikey because they thought I was the easiest to beat or because I was kindof the more negative one. <There is a mysterious shift in the music, as the camera turns to Aras> You know, I wanted to earn it on my own and prove to the jury that I made it to the Final Two because of my own actions and decisions in this game… <The camera shows another view of Brooke, and then abruptly cuts back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Tracy, <short pause> it's gotta be difficult to not have any say at this point. <Tracy can be seen nodding her head dramatically> I mean, you've been the hub of a lot of the major plays that have gone down in this game… <The camera shows a quick view of Brooke>

Tracy: It's been quite difficult, Jeff, to not have any control over what happens tonight. <A rapid clip of the entire jury is shown> I mean, it's a great feeling to be in the Final Three, but I didn't come this far in the game to go home third, <pause> and I know Mike feels the same way, <A close-up view of Mikey is shown, as he nods his head> so <long pause> I think Brooke has a difficult decision tonight, and whichever way she goes tonight, it's gonna be hard… <The camera shows a view of Sherea, and then returns to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Mikey B, <long pause> are you able to respect the position that Brooke's in? <A close-up view of a burning torch is shown, before the camera scrolls forward to show Mikey>

Mikey: I'm absolutely able to respect it. <The camera zooms out to show the entire Rubak tribe, as Tracy subtly nods> You know, she won Immunity; <short pause> that's part of the game that she has to pick between one of us, <Mikey is then shown again> and I kinda have a gut feeling that it's gonna be me that she votes off only because third is the worst possible position, <laughs> but <long pause> to be honest with you, I came into the game with a smile on my face and I'm gonna leave with a smile whether it's tonight or tomorrow night. <The camera switches angles to show Eliza> It's been a blast… <The camera goes back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: So, Brooke, <long pause> take me through both sides of this: <Jeff takes another short pause, as the camera returns to the Rubak members> what's going through your head? What about bringing Mikey or Tracy to the end is risky? <The camera zooms in on Brooke>

Brooke: I mean, I haven't stopped thinking about this decision since you put the necklace around my neck. <A close-up view of a thoughtful-looking Mikey is shown> I'm just trying to go over all of the possible jury votes in my head, and take a step back and re-evaluate things. <A rapid clip of Tracy is then shown next> I feel like it's a really close-call because they've both played very well; <short pause> they're both well-liked; <Aras subtly nods his head> they don't have a lot of enemies, <The camera shows a wide view of the entire jury> so the deciding factor is gonna ultimately come down to who I feel I have a better chance of beating in the Final Two… <Several prominent drumbeats are heard, as the music becomes more dramatic, and the camera goes back to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Alright; <short pause> let's get to the vote. <A wide view of the Final Three Rubak members is shown, as they listen intently> Brooke, since you have Immunity, <The camera now zooms in on Brooke> nobody can vote for you. <Jeff is now shown again> That means Mikey B can only vote for Tracy; <Mikey and Tracy are shown exchanging glances and nodding knowingly> Tracy can only vote for Mikey B. <Mikey now shifts his expression> Their votes cancel each other out, <The camera focuses back in on Jeff> so Tracy and Mikey, you won't vote tonight. <Another close-up view of Tracy is shown, as she stares ahead> The only person voting tonight is Brooke. <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera shows a rapid clip of the jury and then returns to Brooke> You'll be voting the seventeenth person out of this game, <Mikey is shown nervously adjusting his position on his stump> and you will be deciding who you are bringing with you to the Final Two. <Brooke can be seen subtly nodding her head, before the camera scrolls back over to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: <to Brooke> If you're wrong, it is a million dollar mistake. <Sherea is shown with a tense look on her face> If you're right, by this time tomorrow night, you'll be a millionaire. <A close-up view of Kathy is then shown, as she raises her eyebrows. Jeff is then shown>

Jeff Probst: It's time to vote. <Another view of the entire Rubak tribe is shown> Brooke, you're up. <The music speeds up and becomes more dramatic, as the camera shows Brooke standing up and then walking past the central fire, before scrolling over to Mikey>

<A wide view of Aras, Alexis, Eliza, and Mary is then shown, as Brooke makes her way past them and Mary can be seen making an annoyed face. Brooke is then shown arriving at the voting confessional, as she picks up the pen and uncaps it. The camera now fades out to show an anxious Eliza, before showing quick clips of Tracy and Mikey, who both display worried looks on their faces. Tracy then whispers "Hey" to Mikey, as he turns towards her>

Tracy: <whispering> I think she's gonna pick you… <The camera zooms in on Mikey>

Mikey: <to Tracy> Huh? <Another wide view of both Tracy and Mikey is then shown next>

Tracy: <to Mikey> I think I'm going to the jury… <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera fades out to show Brooke, and she begins to write a name down on her piece of parchment. The camera then cuts back to Mikey again>

Mikey: <jokingly> Say nice things about me to the jury… <laughs> <Brooke can now be seen folding her vote and placing it into the urn. She then begins to walk back to the main Tribal Council area, as the camera shows a close-up view of the central fire flickering, and then fades out to show Brooke sitting back down between Mikey and Tracy. Jeff is now shown again>

Jeff Probst: I'll go get the vote. <A haunting tribal chant is heard, as the camera shows Jeff walking out of sight and then fades out to show a close-up view of Tracy, as she gazes into the distance. A quick view of Alexis is shown, before the camera turns back to Mikey, who is looking around nervously. Brooke is then shown with an expressionless look on her face, before the camera switches angles to show Jeff returning back onto the screen with the urn>

Jeff Probst: Once the vote is read, the decision is final. <The camera shows another view of Mikey> Person voted out'll be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. <Rapid clips of both Tracy and Brooke are then shown next> I'll read the vote. <The camera now zooms out to show all three Rubak members, before cutting back to Jeff, who removes the lid from the urn and sets it down on the stand in front of him>

Jeff Probst: <Jeff reaches into the urn and pulls out the sole piece of parchment. He quickly unfolds it and then stares down at it for a few seconds> Seventeenth person voted out of Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites, <A rapid clip of an unfazed Brooke is then shown> and the eighth and final member of our jury: <The camera shows the seven jury members anxiously looking towards Jeff. Another view of the Final Three is then shown, before Jeff reveals the vote> Mikey B. <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows Mikey with a disappointed look on his face, and then shows several jury members exchanging glances. A close-up view of Aras is then shown, before the camera goes back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: <to Mikey> You need to bring me your torch. <All three Rubak members can be seen standing up, as Brooke hugs Mikey. An eerie sound is heard, as the camera shows several jury members and then switches angles to show a sad-looking Tracy hugging Mikey>

Tracy: <to Mikey> Sorry. I mean it… <The camera shows Sherea with an unimpressed look on her face, and then cuts back to Tracy, who now looks relieved. Brooke is shown again, before the camera cuts ahead to show Mikey placing his torch into the slot in front of Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Mikey B, <long pause> your tribe has spoken. <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows Jeff snuffing out Mikey's torch>

Jeff Probst: <to Mikey> Time for you to go… <A grinning Mikey can then be seen turning back towards his former tribemates, as they both wave to him>

Mikey: Take it easy, guys! <A close-up view of Tracy is then shown, as she says "Bye, Mike," and the camera switches angles to show Mikey walking out of the main Tribal Council area and fading into the engulfing darkness. Another clip of the Final Two Rubak members is then shown, before the camera scrolls over to an amused Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Well, <long pause> Brooke, Tracy, you have gone as far as you can go in this game. <Brooke can be seen smiling> The power now shifts to the jury: <A wide view of the seven jury members is shown, as Jeff takes a short pause> eight people, including Mikey B, that you've had a hand in voting out, either directly or indirectly. <The camera now zooms in on Mary> They now hold your fate in their hands. <Both Tracy and Brooke are shown listening intently, before the camera returns to Jeff> You got one more night in Micronesia. I hope you can enjoy it. <A quick view of Aras and Alexis is shown next> I'll see you both tomorrow night for your final Tribal Council. <The camera then goes back to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Grab your torches; <short pause> head back to camp. Good night. <'Ancient Voices of Micronesia' plays, as the camera shows both Tracy and Brooke standing up and grabbing their torches. The camera then switches angles to show the seven jury members, who all display pensive looks. A wide view of the main Tribal Council area is now shown, as the Final Two Rubak members can be seen walking out of the Tribal Council village. The camera then fades into Mikey's Final Words>

Mikey's Final Words:

<'Ancient Voices of Micronesia' continues to play, as the camera shows a content Mikey, who is sitting at a torch-lit confessional with several Micronesian huts visible in the background>

Mikey: I came to Survivor to play the game, have fun, and of course win a million bucks; <short pause> uh, I accomplished two of those and came close on the third. You know, it was an honor to be here and I was the last man standing. <The camera cuts ahead to show a later portion of Mikey's Final Words> I loved every minute of my time out here: <short pause> the good, the bad, and even the ugly. <laughs> I wouldn't change a damn thing, except I wish I'd won the final Immunity Challenge. That would have been a whole 'nother ball game, no doubt, but <long pause> no, you know, I had a blast every step of the way. Um, no regrets, and that's about it… <The screen abruptly fades out>

Final Tribal Council - Rubak Tribe

<'Tally the Vote' begins to play, as the camera shows a fast-forwarded view of the darkening sky, and then fades out to show the Micronesian village Tribal Council. The camera scrolls towards it and then rapidly zooms around it, before cutting ahead to show the Final Two Rubak members making their way across the wooden dock and walking in to the main Tribal Council area. Tracy can be seen setting her torch down, before the camera turns to Brooke, and then zooms out to show both castaways sitting down. Jeff is now shown again>

Jeff Probst: We'll now bring in the members of our final Tribal Council jury: <The music becomes more dramatic, as the camera switches angles to show the Tribal Council entrance, and the jury members walk in> Ian, Kathy, Sherea, <The first three jury members can be seen sitting down at the jury benches> Aras, Alexis, <A close-up view of both Aras and Alexis is shown> Eliza, Mary, <Tracy and Brooke are now shown, as Mary walks past them> and Mikey B, <The camera scrolls over to Mikey> voted out at last night's Tribal Council. <A prominent drumbeat is heard, as the camera shows Mikey sitting down and then returns to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Welcome to your final Tribal Council. <A wide view of the Final Two Rubak members is shown> Congratulations on outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting eighteen other people in this game, <Alexis can be seen subtly nodding her head> and I gotta say: <short pause> we started this game 39 days ago as Fans vs. Favorites, <The camera now shows Mikey staring ahead> so it is only fitting that in the end it comes down to one Fan and one Favorite. <An eerie shift in the music occurs, as the camera scrolls across several jury members, and then focuses back in on Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Tonight, the power in this game shifts from this side of Tribal Council <A wide view of the entire main Tribal Council area is shown, as Jeff motions towards the jury> over to the jury. <Eliza can be seen smiling and nodding her head> Based on what they've seen over the last 39 days and what they hear tonight, <Both Tracy and Brooke are then shown again> the jury will make a million dollar decision. <The camera now shows another view of Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Here's how it's gonna work: <short pause> you will each get a chance to make an opening statement. <A close-up view of a stern-looking Sherea is shown> This is your first chance to convince this jury why you are the most deserving of the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar prize. <The camera now shows a view of Eliza, Mary, and Mikey> The jury will then get their first chance to address you. <Tracy can be seen subtly nodding her head> Then, you'll get a chance to make one final closing comment. <Another wide view of the Final Two Rubak members is shown> We will then vote… <Jeff is then shown again>

Jeff Probst: Opening statements: <short pause> Tracy, you're up. <Jeff now points to Tracy, as the camera scrolls back over to her>

Tracy: I sit in front of you guys, humbled by the game, humbled by the experience and by Mother Nature. <The camera shows a close-up view of Alexis> You know, I'm a Fan. I may not look like the typical Survivor geek, <Ian is now shown with an amused smile on his face> but I've watched 'em all, seen every episode, and <short pause> I love it. <Another close-up view of Tracy is shown next> The personalities, the strategy, um, the interpersonal dynamics; <A wide view of the eight jury members is shown, as they listen intently> it's fascinating to me, and throughout the game, I think I was underestimated. <The camera now zooms in on Mikey> Maybe because I was a little older. I was never seen as the biggest threat, but I promise you this: <short pause> I've probably had more impact on determining the outcome of the game than anyone else. <Kathy is shown nodding her head in agreement> Out of every single Tribal Council in this game, the entire 39 days, I didn't go to two of them, <Tracy can be seen holding up two fingers> and I had my share of times where I could have gone home just like that in place of any one of you. <Mikey is now shown nodding his head dramatically> More than a few, to put it kindly. <The camera then returns to Tracy> I mean, I lost every single tribal Immunity except the first one; <short pause> I was always an underdog, always on the chopping block, but I still got here, <The camera scrolls across several jury members> and I didn't let it get me down. <The Final Two Rubak members are then shown again> It's been a roller coaster, but you know what? I am strong, and I tried to stay positive; <A close-up view of a contemplative Tracy is shown, as the camera continues to focus on her> keep my head up when I couldn't seem to catch a break and, you know, <pause> I fought like hell. <The camera now shows Alexis with a subtle smile on her face> I mean, even when I came into the merge seven to three, I always gave everything I had, poured out my heart into everything I did, <A close-up view of Mikey is shown again> and I feel that I accomplished everything I set out to do. <Mary is then shown next> You know, I hope I've played straight-up and with some integrity. <The camera now turns to Aras> I'm just grateful to be here and <pause> I'm gonna respect your decision regardless of what y'all do, so thanks for, um, your consideration, and I look forward to talking to each one of you and answering your questions. <The camera switches angles to show Tracy again, as she gives a quick nod> Thanks… <Kathy can be seen smiling warmly, before the camera cuts back to Jeff again>

Jeff Probst: Brooke… <An eerie shift in the music occurs, as the camera shows another wide view of the two remaining Rubak members, and then zooms in on Brooke>

Brooke: First off, I want to say "Hi" to everyone. It's nice to be able to talk to you rather than just see your faces. <The camera now scrolls across several tense-looking jury members> Um, <long pause> I started to think about what words I could use to convince all of you that I should win the game and that I deserve the million dollars, <A close-up view of Eliza is shown, as she listens intently> and I decided that I'm going to deal just with facts. <The camera then focuses back in on Brooke again> Coming into this game from Guatemala, I definitely knew that I needed to play a little more cutthroat this time if I was going to win. <Aras can be seen looking up> I wasn't going to play the game again just to make it to the jury, or to make it to third place again, <Mikey is now shown with a pensive look on his face> and <pause> having been through the game before, I was definitely mentally prepared to last the full 39 days. <A wide view of several jury members is shown> I came into the game with a strategy, and I feel like I was definitely the player in control on Malakal from Day One. <Sherea is then shown with a stern expression on her face> I mean, I called the shots on the Dave vote; <short pause> I was a member of all the dominant alliances; <The camera now switches angles to show both Brooke and Tracy> I did the persuading; I did the manipulating; <Another close-up view of Aras is then shown next> I did the backstabbing, unfortunately, when that had to be done, <A prominent sound is heard, as the camera shows Ian shifting his expression> and I always tried to stay at least one step ahead of the game. <The camera returns to Brooke> You know, I won an individual Immunity Challenge yesterday when it counted the most, and I think that has to earn some respect for anybody to hang on for as long as I did to win Immunity. <Mikey is then shown subtly nodding his head> I just feel that I'm deserving of winning the game, <A rapid view of Mary is shown, as she raises her eyebrows> and I hope that you can look past your personal feelings that you might have and really make an objective decision. <The camera shows Alexis with a strange expression on her face, before returning back to Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Alright, jury; <short pause> in a moment, you're gonna get your first chance to address Tracy and Brooke since being voted out. <A wide view of all eight jury members is shown, before the camera goes back to Jeff> I'll give you a minute to think about what you wanna say… <A steady drumbeat sounds, as a wide-eyed Eliza is shown, and the camera turns to a thoughtful-looking Alexis. Quick views of both Tracy and Brooke are then shown, before the camera rapidly scrolls across several jury members. The camera shows a view of the ominous moon, and then fades into an aerial view of the Tribal Council village. A view of the entire main Tribal Council area is then shown, as the camera focuses back in on Jeff>

Jeff Probst: Alright, jury; <Jeff takes a short pause, as the camera shows another view of the eight jury members> it is now your first opportunity to address Tracy and Brooke. <Kathy is shown with a subtle smile on her face> You're trying to gain the information you need to make a million dollar decision. <The camera shows Jeff again, as he turns towards the jury>

Jeff Probst: Ian, get us started. <A wide view of the jury members is shown again, as Ian stands up and pulls up his shorts, as he walks into the middle of the main Tribal Council area. The camera shows Brooke and Tracy, before scrolling back over to Ian>

Ian: Congratulations to you both for making it to the Final Two. <A close-up view of an expressionless Brooke is shown next> It's gonna be a different question for both of you, and I'm gonna go with Tracy first since I only got to know you for three days; <short pause> um, I didn't really get to see your strategy that much, <A pensive Tracy can be seen nodding her head> so I'm looking for the top three qualities of either yourself or of your game that kindof helped you get to the Final Two… <The camera shows another quick view of Ian, before cutting back to Tracy and focusing in on her for a few seconds>

Tracy: Number one: I'd say adaptability. I think I was adaptable, <Eliza is now shown with a thoughtful look on her face> because Survivor is a game where you have to adapt. <Alexis can then be seen listening intently> You have to adapt to the environment, to the twists and turns in the game, <The camera now scrolls back over to Brooke and Tracy> and you have to adapt to the people around you. <Ian now subtly nods his head> And I know you weren't there, but I was put in a position on the original Airai where I stepped up from the get-go to build our shelter, <Mikey can be seen shifting his expression, as the camera turns to him> and I had to stop myself and think "Wait a minute; you know, does somebody think I'm the leader?" <The camera shows another close-up vie
