Sandros: Hey Final 5 welcome to Tribal Council #16!! Today marks the 35th day out here in China, with only 5 castaways left standing. As always everyone will be given time to speak their peace, but after that, one of you will be going home. Chelsea: How do you think you have played this game so far? do u think you deserve to be here and if so rate yourself 1-10 on how well you played this game...1 being horrible and 10 being great.
Chelsea: Um, I think I deserve to be here, despite my dismal challenge score, lol. I think I've played a good game, but I wouldn't even know how to rate myself on that scale. I guess I'm not a 1 or a 10, but I'm more than a 5. Maybe 7 or 8. I don't know.
Sandros: In my opinion you’ve been playing a respectable game. We’ll see how far it takes you. Tom, so your in the final 5...must be pretty awesome huh? How do you decide on who should be in the finals and who shouldn't?
Tom: It's definitely a great feeling to have outlasted 19 others. It hasn't been easy, which makes it very rewarding to be just one of five right now. Who should and shouldn't be in the finals? That's a loaded question. It really is. At this stage in the game there are literally a thousand angles one can take when trying to decide who 'should' be in the finals and who 'shouldn't.' I'm just gonna say that ultimately, the goal is to someway and somehow place myself in a better position with every passing vote. And again, there's a zillion angles to take with that. This game is hard.
Sandros: You’re definitely right about that. So hard that 19 other players failed trying. Be proud of yourself. Skylar, congrats once again winning immunity for the 4th consecutive time! must feel pretty awesome... Is there 1 person you feel shouldn't be in the final 4 and if so who?
Skylar: Yes every time I win it feels better and better cuz of the decrease in people here. Each round I’ve needed it more and more...I've tried not to worry about not winning and just really concentrate on winning them when they're happening. Also i attribute luck to my winnings. These people gave me immunity once, and Donna and Deighton were not reading all the rules last time. So i really only earned 2 of them. 1 person who really doesn’t deserve to make it further is Richard. Next round we'll see if he had the idol, which he does...he's made it here only because of that stupid thing. the past 4 challenge he’s been nowhere to be found, he’s been secure with that idol. Nothing about his gameplay seems deserving to me lately.
Sandros: Well you have your opinion that’s for sure. We’ll soon see about that idol. Richard, what are you thinking right now? do u think you have a shot at making the finals and if u do who do plan on backstabbing or manipulating to get there?
Richard: I'm thinking of playing this game to make the finals, just as I'm sure everyone else is. I think I have a shot to make the finals, but you never know. I really don't plan on any backstabbing...my strategy is out in the open. I'm voting for Skylar when he loses immunity next round. Ya get whatcha see.
Sandros: Whatchya see, is what you get -- reminds me of an oldie Britney Spears song, Aww. Lastly Sammy, this is the final chance for the idol holder to use the idol...do u think he will and if so how do u think it will impact the game?
Sammy: If we're all right on who has the idol, I don't think he'll use it just to make sure he's safe through the Final 4. However, if he figures that we won't vote for him and hands it off to his friend, who then uses it... well, then I'll be voted out and the four strongest players will make the Final Four, as they should.
Sandros: Well there’s only 1 way to find out Sammy…lets read the votes. Once the votes are read the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.
First vote…
Second vote…
Third vote…
Fourth vote…
We are at 2 for Sammy. 2 for Tom.
20th person voted out of the game…
Sandros: I’m sorry Tom, but 3 votes is enough. You need to bring me your torch. After a great run here in China, I’m sorry to say but THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN! If you would Tom, please post your final words in your Zen Gardens confessional. Take a look back and reflect on the time you spent here in the game. You were a major part of this game Tom, don’t let anyone tell you differently. Hopefully we can see you again in another iProduct1on. Soon you will have access to the Samurai Jury where you will meet the rest of the previously voted out players. Cody will be contacting you soon for an iSurv1vor Live! Interview. Take care.
As for the final 4 -- we are officially here!! Sammy, Chelsea, Richard, Skylar. One of you is the Sole Survivor. Check the challenge plain for the next challenge information.
