| FINAL
FOUR IMMUNITY CHALLENGE/ "Tower of Domination" (Firestarting?
Ziplines?) - Tom wins, Jenn booted |
Wezzie
posts a spoiler at Sucks: "The Final Four IC is said to involve
firestarting." Wezzie later posted
that the December 7th challenge was referred to as "Tower of
Domination," which should be the F4 IC. The zipline challenge
shown in the web/TV promo is probably this one. As VolcanicGlass
points out at Sucks, the presence of only two ziplines suggests
this might be an elimination-type challenge. VolcanicGlass
also noted that the yellow
truck (Chevy SSR, destined for the overall winner?) is parked
near the shore in new zipline footage that aired Saturday.
Who wins? Vidcaps show the final four at tribal council, and Tom
has the necklace on again. New caps up at SurvivorPhoenix
show the F4 TC scene in much higher detail, with the jury walking
in. Tom is wearing the necklace there, too (which may be relevant,
because in the first one, it appears Probst is preparing to read
the votes, indicating Tom doesn't give the necklace up, or get it
from someone else).

| FINAL
THREE IMMUNITY CHALLENGE/ Endurance - Tom wins, Ian departs |
Wezzie
posts another spoiler at Sucks: "The Final Three IC involves
balance and endurance. One contestant lasted 8 hours. Another lasted
11 hours. The remaining contestant won immunity, of course."
Later update:
"You know... I'm going to take back that comment about 'standing'.
I don't know if they're standing or not. All I heard was that their
feet hurt. I imagined 'standing', but that isn't necessarily so."
The winner would, of course, be Tom.

| BOOTS/
F4-Jenn; F3-Ian; Tom beats Katie in jury vote |
Final
four boot: Jenn, thanks to Mersaydeez
(the only remaining unassigned spot in Mer's boot order). Also fits
the Butch/Darrah model of the invisible F4 boot. Since she can't
penetrate the Tom-Ian-Katie trio, the only thing that could save
her would be immunity, and she doesn't get it.
Final three boot: Ian. Tom
takes Katie
to the Final Two. Mersaydeez spoiled both people, Wezzie spoiled
the F3 IC winner (above).
Jury vote predictions: Despite dire predictions
of Tribal Council fireworks from Coby and Stephenie, the end result
should still be a win for Tom. This will be one
of the oldest juries in Survivor history, and older jurors tend
to favor work ethic and gamesmanship over other factors (i.e. friendship,
as in Amazon). Both Tom and Katie are personable and have established
friendships with the jury, so there are no major negatives there.
Where there is personal friction (Coby), both have annoyed. See
the Survivometer for our predicted
jury votes.
