Yes ladies and gentlemen, it’s Sunday and that means it time for your:
"This Tribe Will Self-Destruct in 5, 4, 3 ..."
The clues from the official SeeBS website are as follows:
As the number of remaining tribemates dwindle down, one alliance is forced to think about turning on each other. Will this strong alliance finally crumble? The short answer is NO! The Ozzy, Becky, Sundra, Yul alliance will hold till the end when they are the only four left and are forced to eliminate one of their own.
At the Immunity Challenge, the Survivors must complete an obstacle course that ends with the most difficult puzzle in Survivor history. Who will capture this all important victory for a spot in the final four? We already know that the puzzle is a “Compass Rose”. For those who are not nautically inclined, here is a very simply example of a 32-Point Compass Rose.
Since the producers have included an obstacle course with this puzzle, my guess is that Ozzy has such an overwhelming lead when starting his puzzle, the others cannot catch up. Ozzy wins the Compass Rose Immunity Challenge. This leads to Adam becoming the next member of the Jury, making the former Aitu alliance the final four.
Endurance is a key factor in the final challenge for Immunity. Who will be the last one standing to secure a chance at $1,000,000? We also know that the final Immunity Challenge will be the typical endurance challenge. The players have to stand, barefoot, on a metal platform that gets progressively smaller and smaller. We have already seen Ozzy outlast everyone else in an endurance challenge, and I see no reason to think he will not win this one. Which leaves us with the ultimate dilemma: Since Ozzy has the Ugly necklace and Yul has the Hidden Immunity Idol (which is “good” through the final four) either Becky or Sundra must go. But which one? The Aitu alliance decides to leave it up to a tie breaker. Ozzy and Sundra vote for Becky, while Yul and Becky vote for Sundra. Sundra and Becky then go into a “fire building” tie breaker which Sundra looses, making her the final member of the Jury, and leaving Ozzy, Becky and Yul as our final three.
Well, there you have it:
Compass Rose Immunity Challenge Winner: Ozzy
Tribal Council Bootee Adam
Final Immunity Challenge Winner: Ozzy
Final Tribal Council Bootee: Sundra
The Final Three: Becky, Ozzy, Yul
And finally, the last clue from the SeeBS website:
The final Survivors battle it out to convince the jury that they are the most deserving of the $1,000,000 prize. Who will walk away with the money and the title of Sole Survivor?
First off, let me say that I don’t think any of the nine members of the Jury will cast a vote for Becky. All nine will see her as a “coat-tail rider” type player who pretty much coasted through the 39 days. She didn’t outwit, outplay or outlast either Ozzy or Yul and therefore doesn’t deserve the Million Dollars or the title of Sole Survivor.
Sundra: I think Sundra votes for Ozzy for no other reason then he agreed to let her and Becky go into a tie breaker final vote. He could have just as easily voted with Yul and Becky against Sundra, but he gave her one last chance. Sundra votes for Ozzy.
Adam: Has (with Parvati) promised Yul that if he agreed to boot Jonathan before them, then Yul would get their vote. Even though both Adam and Parvati have stated that Yul is the PuppetMaster, (and I think will repeat this during the final Tribal Council) they both keep their promise. Adam votes for Yul.
Parvati: For the same reason listed above with Adam, Parvati votes for Yul.
Jonathan: Has sung Yul’s praises in all his post boot interviews and Yul did return his hat. Therefore Jonathan votes for Yul.
Candice: She knows that Yul was the one to convince the rest of the Aitu alliance to not only boot her out of the game, but to send her to Exile Island 4 times in a row. In addition, Yul refused her request to boot Jonathan first, therefore she is under no obligation to honor any promise to Yul. Candice votes for Ozzy.
Nathan: Nathan was getting chummy with Ozzy right before his boot, and even though Ozzy voted against him, Nathan realizes that Ozzy was a better player then Yul. Nathan votes for Ozzy.
Now, we are left with Jenny, Rebecca and Brad. Remember, these three were booted BEFORE the merge, so they don’t have much to go on.
Jenny: Jenny really has nothing to base her decision on other than she was with Ozzy in the very beginning before the tribal mixup. And even though Ozzy was instrumental in convincing the tribe to throw the Immunity Challenge in order to get rid of Billy, that does not convince her to vote against him. Jenny votes for Ozzy.
Rebecca: Rebecca is the toughest to guess. She doesn’t know much about either Ozzy or Yul, having never been part of their tribes. However she does know that Nathan was instrumental in her getting the boot and Nathan has probably been talking up Ozzy on the Jury so my guess is that Rebecca votes for Yul.
Brad: I think Brad will vote for Ozzy for pretty much the same reason I think Jenny will vote for Ozzy. They knew him from the original tribe and didn’t know anything about Yul. Brad votes for Ozzy.
Well there you have it folks. In a squeaker of a vote:
Ozzy wins with 5 of the 9 Jury votes.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for allowing me into your computers and lives each week. I hope I have enhanced your Survivor experience just a little with my picks and recaps.
Here’s hoping you have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Remember the next season of Survivor starts in February.
So till than,
Take care,
