Greetings fellow Survivor junkies! Its Sunday, May 15th, so that means its time for your:
Tonight’s final episode is titled: “The Ultimate Shock!”
From the official SeeBS website, various video promos and spoiler sites across the world wide web, here is what we can expect to see tonight.
The Final Four rethink their strategies when a once-solid alliance dissolves with the slip of a tongue.
According to the video promo, Ian says to Tom “I told them that I was gonna vote you off.” To which Tom replies, “Okay, that's all I needed to know.” I think this occurs the night before the first Immunity Challenge. Tom of course wins the Immunity challenge which leads up to the first Tribal Council hinted at next.
After an emotional Tribal Council, arguments erupt, feelings are hurt and friendships are questioned. Jenn is the first boot, since Tom has Immunity. I think we can expect to see Katie attempting to lay yet another guilt trip on Ian which Tom also gets involved with. Lots of yelling, finger pointing, crying etc.etc.etc.
A shocking development during the Final Immunity Challenge promises to go down in SURVIVOR history. One of the spoiler sites claim to have first hand knowledge that the final Immunity Challenge is the standard endurance test involving holding onto an idol of some kind, while standing on a very small defined area. Perhaps a stump or log stuck in the ground. Anyway, this spoiler also claims that the first contestant to drop out, lasts 6 hours. While the final contestant to drop out lasts a total of 11 hours. The shocking development is rumored to be that Ian makes an agreement with both Katie and Tom that he will drop out first if whoever wins the final IC agrees to take him into the final two. He drops out and Katie finally gives up after 11 hours. Tom wins the final Immunity Challenge and the shocker is he goes against his promise and votes out Ian, taking Katie into the final two with him.
Tears and harsh words fuel a tense session between the Jury and the Final Two.This starts with Ian chastising Tom for breaking his word about the two of them in the final two, and continues with all the other jurors giving both Tom and Katie a severe tongue lashing.
It appears that the first Immunity Challenge is a combination of zip line racing and fire building. Tom of course wins it to prevent Ian siding with the gals in booting him at the first Tribal Council.
The second Immunity Challenge is the endurance test which Tom again wins.
Well, that’s about it so here is:
First Bootee (and 6th member of the Jury) – Jenn
Final Immunity Challenge winner - Tom
Final Bootee (and last member of the Jury) - Ian
Final two for Survivor: Palau - Tom and Katie
And I predict the Jury’s vote will be as follows:
Coby (Votes for Tom) Even though he didn’t care for Tom’s bossy-ness and unwillingness to include Coby in any of the day to day activities around camp, he realizes that Katie did as little as possible and pretty much rode on Tom and Ian’s coat tails into the final four. This causes Coby to have a last minute change of heart and vote for Tom.
“The Quitter” (Votes for Tom) Tom was there giving her encouragement when she was at her lowest, and she confirms this during one of her post game interviews. She has greater respect for Tom than for Katie, whom she considers a very poor under the radar player.
Stephenie (votes for Tom) Even though Tom kind of went back on his promise of keeping her in the final four, she understands the need to vote out the challenge threats. Katie on the other hand, did as little as possible both around camp and during challenges, and that never sat well with Steph.
Gregg (votes for Tom) Simply due to the grudge he holds against Katie for voting to boot him. In fact he made the following comment during one of his post game interviews which was directed at Katie. “That's the last trip you'll get from me, "friend." Of course, we have heard something similar before (Think Survivor: Amazon) so Gregg could be a spoiler and vote the other way. I don’t think so, but ya never know.
Caryn (votes for Tom) Her vote could also go either way, but she did make the comment during the show that “Katie is playing for second place.” She also appreciates Tom’s honesty and integrity while she was in the game.
Jenn (votes for Katie) Even though her cuddle bunny Gregg voted for Tom, (and while I doubt Jenn is capable of having an original thought in her pretty little bleached blond head), she will probably vote for Katie because she felt closer to Katie than Tom during the game. I’m still hoping against hope that she surprises everyone and votes for Tom, but it’s not looking good.
Ian (votes for Katie) I was originally leaning for a Tom vote here along with Jenn’s to give Tom the first unanimous Jury vote in Survivor history. However, during last Thursday’s show Ian seems to have been hen-pecked and browbeaten into submission by Katie. Couple this with the rumored lying that Tom did during the final Immunity Challenge and I’m quite sure that Ian will vote for Katie.
So there you have it. Tom wins Survivor: Palau with a Jury vote of 5 to Katie’s 2.
Thank each and every one of you for your kind words of encouragement and for putting up with my ranting and ravings for the past few months. It’s been real and it’s been a hell of a lot of fun. I’m glad I could share this season with all of you and I hope you’ll agree with me when I say that in my humble opinion, this has been the absolute BEST Survivor season ever.
Take care, and I’ll see ya’ll next season.

but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming....
Wow, what a ride!"
