This was posted on the SS site. I don't know if there's any truth to it, but I thought you guys might find it interesting. I certainly did. I don't know if there's any validity to this information.
DAY 38: IMMUNITY 2 / TRIBAL COUNCIL 2
Rich is interviewed by camerawoman 3. His statement is as
follows: "I hated to see Sue go - she was part of the plan. We both
decided before the immunity challenge yesterday that Rudy was going.
After Kelly won immunity, Sue was the logical choice to pick because
Kelly told me she'll be voting against Sue. It's a shame because I
felt when it came down to the final two one] I would've had the edge to win if Sue was the other. But it's
okay. Plans change. At this point in the game, my only concern is that
I win immunity today. I'll worry about the others tomorrow. Two more
days and I'm heading home with a suitcase full of cash."
Cameraman 7 pans to Rudy at the fire pit in the Rattana camp
cooking rice. Rudy is interviewed. His statement is as follows: "Me and
Rich voted Sue off yesterday. She wasn't a bad person. I got along with
her probably, uh, more than I did with Rich - but Rich kept his word,
so we'll see what happens. That's it ... I gotta cook." Rudy looks down
at the pot of rice on the flame.
Later on, Kelly is at the beach cleaning her clothes. Cameras are
filming as she scrubs her flower-patterned shirt in the ocean. She
looks over at Rich and Rudy in their hammocks. Kelly is interviewed.
Her statement is as follows: "The dynamic duo", she says with a smirk
while gazing in their direction. "I guess there's no reason to do
anything else now but relax until the next challenge. Might as well
clean my stuff before I go."
Immunity Challenge: The stage is set for the last challenge 'Fire,
Walk With Me'in the same place where the rope course was held. At the
last minute the segment director changes the name to 'Rite of Passage'
for fear of legal troubles with David Lynch and the people at ABC
network who created 'Twin Peaks'. The new name is official.
Jeff Probst talks to segment director Amanda Long about the safety of
this challenge - she assures him that it's safe and explains to him why.
The mounted cameras are positioned around a rectangular pit of
coals. The steady-cam crew is standing aside from the clearing as the
final three castaways are led into the fire-walk setup. Off-camera,
Rich asks Jeff about the coals. Jeff says that he already asked about
safety and that the coals are bolstered with concrete chips to insulate
most of the searing heat. Kelly is transfixed on the red glow of the
coals. Rudy doesn't look too sure about the whole situation.
Jeff prepares off-camera with Mark Linzke. Amanda Long yells for
the finalists to take their positions at the top of the rectangle. The
cameras roll as Jeff goes into the explanation of the rules for this
challenge with the castaways. Whoever can walk the longest on the coals
without jumping off wins immunity. Rudy is first to get off. It's
between Kelly and Rich. Rich doesn't last more than 30 seconds before
leaping off. Kelly wins immunity. The cameras are now focused on both
Rudy and Rich's expressions. Not happy.
Tribal Council: The three finalists are filmed walking to council
through the jungle path with their torches. A close up of each
castaways face is shown as they walk. As they take their seats, the
jurors walk in from the other pathway
and sit down opposite the final three in order. Jeff talks to
Rich about his 'plan', and Rich comments. The jurors stare at the
three. The camera captures Sue staring intensly at Rich as he talks to
Jeff. After some banter with Kelly about both her luck and intentions
on winning the last challenge, the voting commences. Rudy is voted off.
Rudy gets up and walks towards Jeff, but Jeff mentions that he
forgot to bring his torch over to him. Rudy walks back to get his torch
and puts it in the slot. His torch is covered and Rudy walks down the
path without saying a word, and without looking at anyone.
After the taping, Rudy is interviewed back at the main camp. His
statement is as follows: "I knew Rich would turn on me -- one thing I
learned in the military is that ya can't trust them guys who sit behind
a desk - they'll get ya killed every time. I'm gonna eat something and
maybe take a shave."
DAY 39: LAST DAY / FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL
The day starts off with Rich doing a little dance in front of
cameraman 2. "This is it, boys and girls." Kelly watches him from the
tent area. Kelly is interviewed. Her statement is as follows: "I have
a good feeling about tonight."
