THE VERDICT IS IN: VECEPIA TOWERY IS THE SOLE SURVIVOR(Continued)
Immunity Challenge: Fallen Comrades
After receiving Tree Mail, the tribe met host Jeff Probst at Tribal Council where the next Immunity Challenge would take place, to be immediately followed by a Tribal Council vote. Jeff explained the rules, stating, "Tonight's Immunity Challenge will test just how well you have gotten to know your fellow Survivors." Using a pad and paper to reveal their answers, the remaining Survivors were to be asked a series of questions pertaining to those Survivors who had been voted out or events that had previously occurred. If a question were answered correctly, they would receive one point. The Survivor to accumulate ten points first would win Immunity from the imminent vote.
As the challenge began, Neleh took an early lead, receiving two points. The question and answering continued as the pressure grew. The final round of questioning came down to Neleh and Vecepia, who both had nine points. After revealing their answers, it was Vecepia who answered correctly, reaching 10 points, and winning the ever-important Immunity Necklace.
Tribal Council: Paschal English Out of the Tribe
Immediately following the Immunity Challenge, a Tribal Council vote took place. Just before the vote, a vulnerable Kathy brokered a deal with Vecepia in which she asked Vecepia to keep her Immunity but to agree not to vote for her in order to force a tie, allowing her the chance to make it to the Final Three. "I can handle that," Vecepia agreed.
After the vote, Jeff revealed that a tie had indeed occurred -- two votes against Neleh and two votes against Kathy. He then explained that the Final Four would have two minutes to reach a majority consensus whether Neleh or Kathy should be voted out of the tribe and that, if they failed to, all of them except Vecepia, who had Immunity, would have to pick colored rocks out of a sack. The person to pick the only purple rock out of the bag would have to leave the tribe.
After the two-minute deliberation process, no consensus was reached. Even though he knew that he would now be at risk, Paschal conceded with the others that the only resolution would be to pick the rocks out of the bag. After picking the rocks, Neleh, Kathy and Paschal revealed their colors and it was Paschal English who had picked the unlucky purple stone, sending him packing. Paschal's torch was extinguished as he became the 13th member of SURVIVOR: MARQUESAS to leave the island. Paschal became the sixth member of the Jury that would ultimately decide who would be the Sole Survivor. Paschal gave his Final Words, "It's been an amazing experience, I have made some life-long friends, and the competitors remaining -- I wish them all luck." ( Paschal's Final Words
