MANAGING THE WIN:
Yul is the Sole Survivor
After 39 days, 20 Survivors, four tribes divided by race, a merge and then a mutiny, the Aitu Four surged to victory, paving the way for Yul Kwon, the 31-year-old management consultant from San Mateo, California, to become Sole Survivor. The Aitu alliance bonded together and defeated incredible odds to arrive at the final four, fully intact and ready for business. They competed as hard as they could and stayed true to their small underdog tribe. They ended the game the way they played it: with integrity and loyalty to one another. Yul found the hidden Immunity Idol early in the game and hoped to use it during a game-changing moment. That moment arrived when the Aitu and Raro tribes merged, leaving Aitu at a disadvantage. Yul used the idol to turn the game on its head, and his choice ultimately won him the million dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor on SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS.
Final Five
On Day 37, Adam sits under the shelter observing the tribe, commenting that he slept alone last night. Sundra reflects that each person now has to start playing an individual game, while Becky confides that it might be time to cut Ozzy loose. Then the tribe receives Treemail. The clue is a spider web, which they take as a hint that the upcoming challenge will be an obstacle course. The Aitu Four gather to pray for victory while lone Adam states his position: "It's extremely important for me to win this one. You know, it's them four against me. But it doesn't matter--I've got to go out there and put up a fight and try to win and try to stay in this game."
Reward Challenge: Compass Ropes
A pensive final five arrive at the challenge, nervously anticipating their fate. Jeff Probst explains the rules of the challenge. This time tribe members will race around a ropes course to eight different stations, collecting a bag of puzzle pieces at each station. Each time a tribe member gets a bag he or she will have to come back to their table before they can go back out on the course. Once a tribe member has all eight bags, he or she will use the puzzle pieces to construct an eight point compass rose puzzle. Once the puzzle is assembled correctly a flag will raise. "First person to raise their flag wins Immunity, a guaranteed a spot in the final four… For what it's worth, in 13 seasons of Survivor, this is the most difficult puzzle we've ever had," Jeff states.
