Season Finale Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Faves
CBS 8/9c Sunday

Parvati Shallow is the winner of Survivor Micronesia:Fans vs. Faves and $1million dollars. Here is how it all played out!

The ladies of the final 3 on Survivor Micronesia were victorious in blind-siding all of the other players in the game, only to be blindsided in the end.

The contestants were devestated to find out it would not be a final 3, but a final 2. One more Immunity Challenge to compete in, then choose one friend over another for money.

During the ceremonial torch burning, Erik voiced that he "learned a lot about how women think". Poor Erik, the girls had to laugh as Cirie said, "Erik, I'm sorry you had to face the women's wrath... you play with fire and you get burned."

Then on to the Immunity Challenge. A cool endurance challenge, holding a metal ball balanced on wood blocks squeezed together between your hands.

Everyone made it through the first 5 minute round, then they added blocks of wood. Everyone made it though round 2, so 2 more pieces of wood were added.

Parvati was the first to drop her ball, late in round 3. It was down to Cirie and Amanda in round 4. With Jeff Probst's monotonous droning during every 5 minute round.

Round 5 went until someone dropped their pieces. Cirie lost. Amanda wins final Individual Immunity and is guaranteed a spot in the Final 2 of Survivor Micronesia, and a shot at a million dollars.

Now Amanda had the difficult task of voting off one of her comrades. It has to be Cirie, but they just had a big fight about how Cirie feels on the outside of the alliance of 3.

Amanda cried and cried at Tribal Council because she had to choose between friends. Boo Hoo!

Amanda finally voted out Cirie, hopefully she will win an audience prize at the finale. Parvati and Amanda are the final 2 contestants of Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Faves.

The girls giggled and screamed at their winning breakfast. And at being the final 2. Amanda said out of the last 6 months, she has lived in the jungle for 78 days (as a finalist in last season's Survivor: China)!

With the traditional camp burning, the ladies headed off to the final Tribal Council to get asked questions by the Jury. The Jury member then vote for who they want to win Survivor Micronesia and $1,000,000.

Parvati took credit for every huge power play in the game in her opening statement to the Jury. While Amanda thanked them for helping her get to the finals... hmmm...

The questions went like this:
Eliza - jumped on Parvati for "being a mean person", and Amanda for being "superficial".

Jason asked Amanda if she would have told Ozzie about the back-door, Amanda "yes". He asked Parv what he redeeming qualities were.

Alexis asked Parvati what makes her a better roll model than Amanda. Parvati said that she is more indepedent. She too made a point that Amanda is superficial.

Natalie called Parvati a flirt, and asked how that resonates for her in the bedroom. Parvati said at home flirting gets her what she wants. She asked Amanda if her strategy was to play the pageant girl, glazed over dingy. Amanda said no.

Erik said 5-6 days ago he would have voted for Amanda hands down. But now he felt totally burned...duh! Too late for I'm sorry's!

James said Amanda should know she has it in the bag. He asked Parvati to be honest with him, and she was a smart-ass. Then explained herself, but he was pissed.

Cirie asked Amanda why Parvati deserved a million dollars more than she does. Amanda said Parvati made all of the bold moves in the game, Cirie laughed. She asked Parvati why she deserved to be there...

Ozzie said he thinks he is the biggest idiot up there and was truly hurt by what Parvati did to him (taking Ozzie out was all Cirie's idea, but Parvati wants all of the credit... heehee!). Ozzie said he didn't want to talk to Parvati and cried as he said she took away 14 days he could have spent with Amanda. He explained to Amanda that he is starting to fall in love with her. He said he was glad he didn't win Cook Island so he could be here and meet her. Wow, how Rob and Amber!

Parvati Shallow is the winner of Survivor Micronesia:Fans vs. Faves and $1million dollars.

At the reunioun show in New York City, Jeff Probst questioned all of the contestants.
Amanda's records include: 78 consecutive days on the show (back to back seasons), and both original alliances made it to the end. She said that she now has trust issues with people in real life. And it sucks to lose again.

Jeff Probst called Natalie a "raving fill in the blank", she said she had some nasty responses on MySpace.

Getting to the blind-sides, Ozzie said he now understood how someone could kill in the heat of passion. He is over it now.

Eliza's famous line, about the fake Hidden Immunity Idol, "It's just a fucking stick!"

Jason still has and brought his unused Hidden Immunity Idol. He said it sits on his desk every day to remind him of his stupidity.

And then of course there is Erik. He is an ice cream scooper from Pickney Michigan. He said he learned a lot of life lessons. He also said that while it was a dumb move, he could not have gone farther ethically.

James made the call that Erik was "wearing the life vest, and the girls were in the boat... all he had to do was hold on to the boat and coast along, but he took that life vest off and handed it to the girls in the boat!"
Jeff Probst then allowed James to give his imaginary crown of 'stupidest player' ever to Erik.

Survivor Micronesia Season Finale Fans VS. Faves
CBS Sunday 8/7c

The first ever all female final 4 kicked off tonight on the season finale of Survivor Micronesia - Fans vs. Faves. The final 4 contenders for the $1,000,000 prize were: Cirie, Amanda, Natalie, and Parvati. Personally, I am rooting for Cirie. If she makes it into the final 3 she could very likely win, now that she can finally make fire.

This was the first time ever that 3 Survivor contestants left the game without being eliminated. James and Jonathan from the Faves were shipped out due to major life threatening infections in cuts sustained during challenges.

The 'Black Widow Brigade', named by Parvati, began their rein of terror just after the merge. The original alliance of Parvati, Cirie, and Amanda joined forces with Natalie and Alexis to pick off the men at the camp one by one. What is most surprising about this is that every time the men went home holding an Immunity Idol, it seemed.

Now the question, who will get picked off from the final 3 and left out of the prize money. My fear is that if Cirie can't win, it may be her. Cirie would do very well with jury votes, I think, so she would be a huge threat in the final 3.

The final Immunity Challenge was a water lifting exercise combined with a race. Natalie started out in the lead, she is the one who needs Immunity the most as the only remaining Fan. Amanda took over the lead midway through and won Individual Immunity, hopefully sealing Natalie's Survivor fate.

With this group one thing is for certain, no one knows who is going home until Jeff Probst puts their torch out.

When the Jury walked in Natalie gave Erik a big smile and a thumbs up after screwing him out of the game last week. He laughed at his own stupidity.

The vote came in this way:
Cirie
Natalie
Natalie

Yea, Cirie, Amand and Parvati are in the Final 3 for Survivor Micronesia Fans vs. Faves!

Erik Earns The Title 'Stupidest Contestant In Survivor History'
CBS Thursday 8/7c 5/8/08

Tonight Survivor Micronesia started with the fall-out of the last Tribal Council, when Amanda played the Hidden Immunity Idol and back-doored Alexis. Erik was stunned and quiet, Natalie was pissed. Cirie just laughed at all of it, and was glad that Amanda was still in the game.

Before the Reward Challenge, Natalie approached Erik with the plan to send her (Nat) to Exile Island if he wins, so she could find the Hidden Immunity Idol. Amanda gave Eric a similar plan with Parvati going to Exile so Natalie can't have it.

Eric won the Reward Challenge, a spa trip, and took Amanda (part of her deal) and sent Parv to Exile Island. Parvati did nothing to look for the Idol, feeling quite safe for some reason in her alliance with Amanda and Cirie.

Natalie boiled at the camp, stuck with Cirie chirping in her ear. Cirie is hilarious.

Erik made a possibly fatal mistake by telling all of the women different plans, then found out the hard way that women tell each other everything.

The Immunity Challenge was a physical puzzle game, matching coordinates to dig for the pieces. Cirie was in it for a minute, then Erik took control. Erik wins Individual Immunity and is guaranteed a spot in the final 4.

Now the scrambling starts for the women, Natalie will most likely be the one to go at this point. Though it will be a dramatic pause between Amanda and Natalie. This Tribal Council has been billed as the most dramatic ever, will Cirie somehow get back-doored this week?

Cirie comes up with a huge idea of Natalie asking Erik to give up his Immunity necklace to regain her trust. If he votes for Amanda tonight with Cirie and Natalie, he redeems himself to the jury. He can't be that stupid, but he is already on the fence. Erik is going to give Natalie the Immunity necklace, but he changed it to voting out Parv. The ladies have Erik on the hook, now they are reeling him in.

The ladies raked poor Erik over the coals completely, and he apologized profusely for his game play. This is hysterical, he has done nothing wrong. Now he tells the jury he need some redemption prior to being a finalist.

Cirie tells Jeff Probst that if you have been discredited you must redeem yourself with actions, not words.

This is so funny, I can't type. Erik just gave the Immunity necklace to Natalie amidst peels of giggles from the jury members and Amanda. Natalie kept a straight face.

The ladies had no mercy with their comments at the voting block.

As Jeff Probst read the votes: Erik, Parv, Erik (now he looks surprised!), the 13th person voted off Survivor Micronesia is Erik.

James piped up from the jury, now rolling with laughter, "I'm no longer the stupidest player in Survivor history!"

Two Survivors Leave Micronesia 5/01/08

James and Alexis Leave Survivor Micronesia
CBS 8/7c 5/01/08

Is the reality show Survivor becoming too dangerous? A record number of Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Faves have had to leave the show due to severe injury. James is the latest victim of infection this season.

A small cut on one finger brought down arguably the strongest Survivor contestant in the shows history tonight. Jeff Probst has obviously been worried about the cut on James' finger, calling for him to be checked after every challenge and meeting.

The Reward Challenge tonight was a visit from a loved one. Always a tear-jerker. In a Q&A game, Alexis won and sent Amanda to exile island (Amanda volunteered, wanting to find the Hidden Immunity Idol). Alexis picked Natalie and Cirie to go on a reward with family members. Leaving James, Parvatti, and Erik to go back to camp lonely and hungry.

James was sent to medical first, and told the infection in his finger was great enough to warrant his elimination from Survivor Micronesia. Jeff Probst commented on the historic decision by the medical staff.

Thus far on Survivor: Fans vs. Faves, Jonathan went home with a severe leg injury/infection. Kathleen asked to leave the camp, sick and emotionally drained. Chet asked to be eliminated at Tribal Council due to a foot injury. Now James has fallen, showing up at Tribal Council with an I.V. pole supporting continuous antibiotics through his body.

That was a nasty cut. It looked as bad or worse than Jonathan's leg, both nasty infections. At least James was well enough to still attend Tribal Council for the surprises.

With James out of the game, Erik is the last man standing. The shaggy headed blond looks like a survivor, and has every man's dream. Except the women he is surrounded by are just as dirty and skinny (almost) as he is! Poor guy, they are all out to get him too!

It's a Cimemax Afterdark movie gone wrong.

Lucky for Erik, he won Individual Immunity in a gun shooting challenge. This left the women to vote off one of their own.

Amanda found the clues to the Hidden Immunity Island and trusted Parvati with the information. The Idol was buried under the camp flag. They played it like Amanda couldn't find the last clue.

The women thought it was only fair to let Amanda know that they would be voting her off at Tribal Council. Amanda, with a cover story from Parvati went out to dig up the Idol.

At Tribal Council, Jeff Probst did the usually calling out. Then the votes were cast. Probst asked if anyone would like to play the Hidden Immunity Idol, and after sufficient suspenseful music, Amanda played the Idol.

The other women looked absolutely sick. The jury members were loving it!

The votes were then read, Amanda's smile ever widening as they rolled in for her. The person with the second highest votes would leave Survivor Micronesia tonight.

Amanda and Parvati both voted for Alexis, and she went to join the jury. Alexis was completely surprised, but the jury members loved every minute of it.

Jeff Probst commented that this group of Survivors have perfected the 'back-door'.

Jason Gets Back Doored On Survivor Micronesia 4/24/08

The Black Widow Brigade Rule Survivor Micronesia
Jason Gets Voted Out
CBS 8/7c 4/24/08

Jason is the latest victim of the Black Widow Brigade. Sent to Exile Island, where a new Hidden Immunity Idol was buried, during the reward auction. Jason had a crappy week on Survivor.

The reward tonight was an auction. None of the guys got to buy anything, the ladies outbid, or eliminated them. James got to eat fruit bat soup, since no one else wanted it. He said the trick was removing the skin (gross!).

Jason came back from Exile Island to rejoin the tribe, where everyone assured him he was safe. He went to get water for the tribe and the women proceeded to go through his stuff to find the Hidden Immunity Idol. James and Eric sat and looked disgusted with the women.

Natalie then had a heart to heart with Jason explaining that he was completely safe at Tribal Council no matter the outcome of the Immunity Challenge. The tribe were to vote out James. She then was shown talking to us in the woods, saying that she would love to "floss her teeth with his (Jason) jugular". What a nice girl.

Jason profusely thanked Natalie for her allegience and for sending him to Exile Island knowing he would find the Hidden Idol.

Everything the women said to Jason worked, he trusted them. The cardinal sin in the game of Survivor. One look at Ozzie any time during Tribal Council shows what trust will get you in Survivor (oh, is he bitter!). Never trust anyone in this game!









Catch up with Survivor Jury members Eliza and Ozzie:

Survivor Micronesia - Fans vs. Faves "Ozzie Gets Voted Off" 4/17/08

The Aftermath Of Ozzie's False Idol - Elimination
CBS 8/7c Thursday

At the last Tribal Council, Eliza was voted off the Survivor Island after playing what Erik thought was the Hidden Immunity Idol. When Erik gave Eliza the Idol she questioned if it was real, but had no choice in playing it.

Now everyone in the Dabu Tribe knows that Ozzie has the Hidden Immunity Idol, making him a greater threat. For some reason the contestants have allowed Ozzie to stay past the merge, now he is the front runner for Individual Immunity every time.

The reward challenge involved swimming out to a puzzle, memorizing it, then putting the pieces in order back at the shore.

The Dabu Tribe was split into 2 teams:

James, Parvatti, Alexis, and Natalie
vs.
Ozzie, Erik, Jason and Amanda

Cirie was sent immediately to exile island for not getting picked for a team. The winners got to fly to an island for a feast and dance and overnight stay.

Ozzie's team won, of course, and headed off to eat. Erik chewed on Beatlenuts with the natives and drank island beer, and got sick that night.

When they returned to the rest of the tribe, Ozzie went into mouth-watering detail about the food. What a nice guy.

The Individual Immunity Challenge was an endurance contest. The Survivor contestants were standing on a post, tethered by the wrist to a bucket of colored slime over their heads.

Jeff Probst soon came out with temptations. Cirie and Erik quit for a bowl of Gummy Worms, Ozzie quit for 3 chocolate donuts, Amanda quit to go pee. Then Jeff Probst came out with a full plate of goodies to share for the whole group to share. It came down to Jason and Parvatti. Jason got a guarantee from the entire group that he would not be voted off.

After 61/2 hours, Jason took the deal without knowing that the promises were made with literally fingers crossed. Parvatti won Individual Immunity.

The plan remained to back door Jason at Tribal Council. Then Cirie got enough votes together to back door Ozzie at Tribal Council.

Ozzie felt comfortable enough to not play the Hidden Immunity Idol, and sat smiling as the votes were read off for Jason. Then the votes started pouring in for Ozzie.

Ozzie was voted off of Survivor Micronesia and became the 2nd member of the Jury (along with Eliza).

Great Back Door Move!!

Here is Ozzie's reaction:

Survivor Micronesia CBS Thusrsdays 8/7c

After the tribal change up last week, and Joel going home blindsided, the Malakal tribe was tentative.

The Airai tribe had an injured Jonathan to worry about, but he was toughing it out pretty well at first.

The reward competition was a strength and agility test. Each team had 10 minutes to block a tunnel with boards and wood. After 10 minutes, each team switched sides and had to remove the obstacles in the tunnel, get all of their players through, and on a mat to win.

Airai won the challenge, and promptly sent Chet from Malakal and Jason from their own tribe to Exile Island.

Medical was immediately called in for Jonathan Penner's knee. The medic strongly advised Jonathan to leave the game immediately "for the sake of his leg and his life". He was evacuted straight away by boat, then to a nearby hospital for emergency surgery. According to Jeff Probst, Jonathan is recovering and will be fine.

With Jonathan gone, James was now alone on a team of 5 women. He was not comfortable with this situation at all, as he felt they would be better at wooing people to their point of view than him. He has obviously been raised around women, as many men would think they had it made and could easily outsmart the women. Silly boys!

Meanwhile the new Malakal tribe was plotting to get rid of the fans, specifically Chet and Tracy. Cirie seems to still be the vocal leader, while Ozzie thinks he is running things. Ami, from the Faves, decided to flip sides and align with the Fans.

Ozzie found the Hidden Immunity Idol on Exile Island last week (why would you send him there?), then planted a fake Hidden Immunity Idol so that someone else would find it and try to play it.

On Exile Island, Chet told Jason that he thought Ozzie had the Idol so he wasn't going to look for it. He cut his foot on a piece of coral, and wanted to relax and soak it.

Jason headed off to look for the Idol, found the fake one and giggled with joy, not knowing it was not real.

At the Immunity Challenge, Jason and Chet rejoined their tribes. Jeff Probst updated the tribes on Jonathan's condition. Jason suggested to Jeff Probst that Ozzie has already found the Idol, but he still thinks that he found the real Idol (or at least that is what they are leading us to believe).

The challenge consisted of having to balance on player on poles above the water across a span to a platform. When they get 2 players across, they have to go to a platform built for 5 people and fit all 7 of their teammates on the top.

James simple picked up the pole and carried the first player on one pole, with everyone else keeping the pole straight for balance. It was quite incredible. Airai beat Malakal by a mile, Malakal did not even get one player to the platform. Airai wins Immunity!

Back at camp, Chet immediately offers himself to the Malakal tribe vote at Tribal Council. Chet explained that his foot was now infected and he could no longer compete. The Faves of the tribe had no objectives as that was their plan, the fans on the other hand begged Chet to hang on through the Tribal Council and throw his vote their way to backdoor Ozzie.

Chet appeared to be considering voting with them to blind side Ozzie, but in the long run he decided to vote for Erik (a vote he knew would be wasted) and "that should be something they take care of themselves".
So Chet went home, and left them to the tigers.
