Survivor: Cook Islands — Finale Shockers Revealed!
by Ileane Rudolph

Survivor: Cook Islands
 "Think of Survivor like a letter from a loved one," says Mark Burnett, who created the reality show that's now coming to the end of its 13th season. "You recognize the envelope and the handwriting, but [inside] is a fresh letter." "Fresh" is a good word to describe what's coming up in the finale of CBS' Survivor: Cook Islands. In an exclusive sneak peek, Burnett and host Jeff Probst tell TVGuide.com how they'll upend hallowed traditions on Cook's finale airing Sunday, Dec. 17.
Cooking the Numbers: There will be three finalists (instead of the usual two) at the final tribal council. And with the size of the jury raised to nine (from seven), there's the possibility of a three-way tie in the competition for the $1 million prize. Not to mention a bigger dose of rancor, bile and wacko questions from cast-offs who make up the newly expanded jury.

Final Challenges: The finale begins busting protocol immediately with five players still in the game. Their first challenge, Burnett reveals, "is the hardest puzzle we've ever done, called Compass Rose." Challenge producer Dan Munday spent two days, "like a mad scientist, cutting pieces of wood," says Probst. " Finally, he showed us exactly how it comes apart and then asked us to put it back together. I quit after 30 minutes." It takes the winner 25 minutes to solve it, Probst reveals, adding that "this final five had the highest IQs of any final five." The final four's last immunity challenge involves balancing on a very small post, one that gets smaller and smaller — 10 feet above the water. "It required balance but also intense concentration and pain tolerance, because it was made of steel and was not comfortable," Probst explains.

Survivors' Reactions: How does the surviving quartet react to the news that there would be three headed to the final tribal council? "The reaction is mixed," says Probst. "A couple are excited because it gives them an extra shot at the million. But for the other two, there is a sense of dread — they realize the strategy they had been planning won't work. From an audience point of view," says Probst, "the best news is that you have at least two people who are likable and very deserving of winning, and for me, that is a home run. I'll be very satisfied that whoever wins is a good winner."

Live Doin's: The big prize will be awarded in L.A. "The coolest part of the finale is that we're re-creating the tribal-council shipwreck at the CBS studios," Probst reveals.

The finale changes come at the conclusion of a season marked by new rules and procedures — first and foremost, the racially segregated teams that opened the Cook Islands contest. Despite the loud, early criticism of the tactic, Burnett says he's proud of the season. "What it really showed is that the American public will embrace a diverse cast," he says. "And the number of applications from minorities is now getting larger, because they see they have chance." So who's going to win? We asked Burnett to handicap the six players still in the game.

Yul: "He has that dangerous combination of being extremely likable and extremely cerebral. He used the immunity idol in a very smart way, and it actually turned the game."
Ozzy: "He's one of the greatest challenge players we've ever had, up there with Terry and Colby. He certainly is a target."
Adam: "There's no question that we've focused on his alliance with Candice, but he's a very strong player. He might be more clever than we think." (Candice, who was booted a couple of weeks ago, was "near genius," says Burnett, but Adam was "her Achilles heel.")
Becky: "She may be playing a clever, silent but deadly game in that she's letting [her ally] Yul take all the heat [while], for much of the show, she has been under the radar."
Parvati: "Parvati's a good athlete and can be a very strong challenge player, and she's not afraid to use her sexuality."
Sundra: "Sundra has offended nobody, and is the kind of person who can go to the end because she's not seen as a threat. And if she gets to the end — everyone likes her."

And the future? Survivor: Fiji — the show's 14th edition, set on the South Pacific island — will likely debut in February. "It has an extremely unique opening episode," Burnett says. "There will be an Exile Island, but it's quite different, and the hidden immunity portion of the game has an interesting twist." And look for yet another new way to divide the tribes — and keep Survivor fresh.

Clues:

* As the number of remaining tribemates dwindles down, one alliance is forced to think about turning on each other. Will this strong alliance finally crumble?
* At the immunity challenge, the survivors must complete an obstacle course that ends with the most difficult puzzle in survivor history. Who will capture this all important victory for a spot in the final four?
* Endurance is key factor in the final challenge for immunity. Who will be the last one standing to secure a chance at $1,000,000?
* The final survivors battle it out to convince the jury that they are most deserving of the $$$ prize. Who will walk away with the money and the title of sole survivor?

For the girl's to have gained respect for their game play and had a chance at the million they needed to force Yul into using the HII.  Then they could have voted out either Yul or Ozzy at the next TC.

Oh and the jury looked like they hate Becky  :cmas11  but really liked Ozzy. They get sort of a stoned face for Yul when he talks.

the jury hates Becky.. they are laughing at her  :cmaslol
I like Ozzy's speech
Sundra big smile
They wave to her
Ozzy smiling back

Ozzy takes off necklace
Jury smiling

Jeff: power shifts to jury....opening statements blah blah
Pavarti does that pout that she thinks is sexy

Yul: when I came here wanted to play certain way, I think I influenced the overall course of game, I think I played a key role, I won't lie that I had to manipulate but I stayed loyal to those who were loyal to me, would like your vote....

Becky: knew I would not be strongest or fastest (Adam shaking head) would have to rely on social game, if I gave my word I could count on it (Jonathan amused) asking for vote

Ozzy: from beginning I was underdog, my people voted out, scary position but didn't stop me, I said Hey I am here to play, came down to providing, if I didn't provide my ass was gone. I didn't try to hide who I was, came here and embraced every aspect of this game with my soul. I think my actions speaks louder than any words
