So here you stand,
one round from the end,
victory is in sight.
But now if you can,
don't break but just bend,
at all their questions tonight.
As the Survivors head down to the stadium, they notice that it is decorated like a tribal council set. Curious that there has been another twist, the Survivors take a seat.
Linesman Probst: I'm glad you could make it here this evening. As you may have suspected, there has been another twist in the game. Your various soccer skills have taken you this far, and for that I congratulate you. But in this round, it is totally out of your control. Let's bring in the juries.
Out of the far corner, 12 castaways enter, wearing shirts of different colours. Upon closer inspection, Hunter, Rudy, Rodger, Jerri, Susan, and Gretchen are wearing orange shirts, while Gervase, Brandon, Kim Powers, Jeff, Alicia and Elisabeth are dressed in blue.
Linesman Probst: You've probably already guessed that these 12 people will be voting on who advances to the final round. The 6 wearing the orange jerseys will vote for either Colby or Lex, and the 6 wearing blue will vote for either Kathy or Gina. There is very little you can do now, as you will only be making a small speech about why these people should vote for you.
Colby: <interupting> Don't they have to ask questions to us or something?
Linesman Probst: Normally yeah, but Survivorerist, who is writing this entire thing, is very tired so we'll have to speed it up a bit. Don't be so selfish. Just for that, you're up first.
Summary of Speeches
Colby: Well, I don't know why I deserve this more than Lex, but I do know that the bunch of y'all have been my best competition and yet my best friends. So really, it's up to you. I hope I get your vote, but you have to do what's right for you. If you like me better, vote for me. If you don't, then don't. But either way, no hard feelings.
Kathy: Hey guys. There's one big reason why you should all vote for me. I was robbed for chrissakes! I knew I should've worn a bra that day, but I didn't. Then I got backstabbed by Vee and I really could've won that whole thing, had I just made it to the final 2. So vote for me!
Lex: Ummm, yeah. I was robbed too.
Linesman Probst: Is that it?
Lex: Uhhhh, yeah. Oh wait, be sure to pick up Luckydog's new album-
Linesman Probst: Okay, that's enough. Gina?
Gina: <waves to Hunter> Hey all! I just wanted to say that I had a really fun time out here, and I want you to know I enjoyed the company of each and every one of you. I just want you to vote for me because I feel I have tried my best, stuck through it with an iron will and determination, and just been an all around nice gal.
Linesman Probst: Okay, it's time to vote. One by one, head to the table with your corresponding colour's voting urn and write down the person who you want to go to the finals.
Hunter steps up and votes for Lex.
Hunter: <raspily> Sorry, I got a small little sore throat from hitting the bar last...I mean preaching at my local Church. Colby, I really respect you man. You played an awesome game. But Lex, I have so much more in common with you. Sure you can be a knucklehead sometimes, but I found that I could really connect with a guy like you. So you get my vote tonight.
We don't get to see Gervase or Rudy's votes. Brandon votes for Colby.
Brandon: Gina, how could you be more stupid? I mean, you burned me on my own question. What? I didn't get to ask a question? Alright, I couldn't think of a diva-like speech in time so I just recycled my old one. Kathy, I gotta vote for you.
Rodger, Kim P., and Jeff's votes remain hidden. Jerri steps up and votes for Colby.
Jerri: Lex, to say that I respect you would be a downright lie. You were a mean, conceited little brat who whined whenever you didn't get your way. You tried to take advantage of everyone, using as your excuse "Since when did this game become fair?" Oh my gawd I hate players like that! How could anyone even stand to live a day with you? And Colby, when will I get my motorcycle ride?
Susan, Alicia and Gretchen's votes are hidden. Elisabeth votes for Gina.
Elisabeth: Hey Gina! When you watch this, know that you got my vote. I've been waiting for someone to start a "Survivor Sweetheart Club" with and you're just the person! We can go around, acting sweet and sugary and all that stuff and make all the guys go crazy for us! I just know we're kick some real butt
Linesman Probst: One more rule before I read the votes. Since the juries are made up of six people each, I'm going to randomly remove one vote from each container to make sure there'll be no ties involved.
<reaches into orange container>.
Lex
<reaches into blue container>
Kathy
These votes will not count. I'll go tally the vote. Orange vote.
Colby
Lex
Lex
Colby.
That's two votes Colby, two votes Lex. Our first finalist in the Survivor World Cup is...
Colby
Blue Vote. First vote...
Kathy
Kathy
Gina
Kathy
Kathy.
Our finals game will be between Colby Donaldson and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, with Lex Van Den Burghe and Gina Crews battling it out for third place. The tribe has spoken. You can head back to cam...the hotel.
The flames of Gina and Lex are extinguished as the Survivors
walk away, eagerly awaiting what surprises are in store for them in the final round of the Survivor: World Cup.
