| AND THE WINNER IS: JENNA MORASCA, SOLE SURVIVOR | ||
|
May 11, 2003 Live from the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City, Jenna Morasca, the 21-year-old swimsuit model from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, became the Sole Survivor and winner of SURVIVOR: THE AMAZON. During the final Tribal Council in the Amazon, the voting power shifted from the final two Survivors, Jenna and Matthew, to the seven-member Jury. After the Final Two withstood a probing and sometimes uncomfortable barrage of questions, their fate rested in the hands of the Jury.
 Once the votes were cast, host Jeff Probst whisked them away to New York City, where the votes were revealed. Shock and amazement dawned on the assembled crowd as an overwhelming 6 to 1 vote found Jenna the decisive victor. Victory was sweet indeed, as she had recently faced nearly certain defeat at the hands of her tribe, battled illness and fended off tribemates' plots. In the end, after having battled back in an incredible bid for Survival, Jenna found herself the overwhelming favorite of the Jury, and the Sole Survivor.
FINAL FOUR  Returning from Tribal Council, where Heidi Strobel had been voted out of the tribe, Jenna, Matthew, Butch and Rob congratulated each other for outlasting the rest and earning a spot in the Final Four. "To be in the Final Four and be the last woman here is really cool," Jenna Morasca, the 21-year-old swimsuit model from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, said proudly, "I have accomplished all my goals and then some." Meanwhile, the men conspired behind her back and agreed that she would be next to go.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: BRAILLE MAZE  The Jacaré tribe arrived at the Immunity Challenge, where host Jeff Probst explained the rules. Blindfolded, the Survivors had to navigate a giant maze through which they would collect necklaces placed at four different stations. Each station represented earth, wind, fire, or water. To help negotiate the maze, the Survivors were to read the Braille marked at each station, helping them figure out which stations they had already attended, and which ones were new. First Survivor to collect all four necklaces and return to the center of the maze would win.
 As the Challenge began, the blindfolded Survivors moved hesitantly through the network of corridors, searching with their hands. Jenna, realizing the need to win Immunity to stay in the game, raced head to head with the athletic Matthew in collecting the prized necklaces. Matthew's skills were formidable as he gingerly navigated the corridors, but Jenna also persevered through the mud-soaked maze. She even bumped into Matthew and Butch Lockley, the 50-year-old middle school principal from Olney, Illinois, along the way, as the Four groped their way in total darkness. Jenna hurried to gather the necklaces and, once she had collected one from each of the fours stations, she raced back to the center and won the most important Immunity Challenge thus far, keeping her safe from the upcoming Tribal Council vote. Meanwhile, the stunned men of Jacaré began to ponder their own unexpected fate.
NEWFOUND POWER  Having won Immunity, Jenna found herself in the position of power as the now-vulnerable men jockeyed for position, trying to lure Jenna's vote. "I needed Immunity today to stay in the game, and now the guys need to change their plan." Butch knew that Rob Cesternino, the 24-year-old computer projects coordinator from Wantagh, New York, would be voting with Matthew, and he sensed a need to find a way to survive in the game. So Butch made a play of his own when he approached Jenna in hopes of securing her vote at the upcoming Tribal Council. ( Jenna breaks up Boys Club )
 Meanwhile, Rob and Matthew escaped camp in order to craft a new voting scheme. "Matt and I went through all of the voting scenarios, and basically, we concluded that we need to vote for Butch in order to save ourselves," explained Rob. Later, Matthew approached Jenna in hopes of creating a secret alliance that would take them both to the Final Two. "The plan is, if I win tomorrow's Immunity Challenge I will take Jenna with me in the final two," Matthew explained, "I will either honor that plan, or do some major backstabbing."
