Summary of Yesterday Final Epsiode: * Courtnesy: cbs.com/primetime/survivor 13/epsiode14 Final Four Forever The Aitu Four return to camp, squealing and rejoicing. They savor the victorious moment for the small tribe that fought its way to this point of the game. A reflective and proud Yul states, "I am so glad that the winner of Survivor is going to be from a minority community. I think it speaks volumes, that often times the strongest teams are the ones that have a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds. And the fact that we were able to bond so tightly together and really kind of succeed under very long odds is a great morality tale." Rites of Passage On Day 38, Ozzy wakes up early to watch the sunrise and reflect on his experience. Realizing the importance of his feat, Ozzy acknowledges that he must focus and win. Treemail arrives, informing the group that they will do the Rites of Passage ceremony together. Excited to share this moment with her friends and tribemates, Becky says, "Today's Treemail indicated that the Aitu Four are going to be able to actually go through the Rites of Passage together. It's pretty exciting because I think typically three people go through that by themselves. And for the Aitu Four to be able to remember everyone in this game, I think that's something really special for us to do." The tribemates paddle out to a beautiful hilltop location that overlooks the islands. They reflect upon the people that went through the experience of the game with them, igniting the torches of their fallen comrades on an altar. Immunity Challenge: Self Destruction When the four remaining members of the Aitutonga tribe arrive at the final Immunity Challenge, they're ready to compete. Jeff Probst explains that the tribe members will be standing on a small steel perch situated in the water. Each perch has been individually proportioned to each tribe member's foot size, making the game as fair as possible. Every 15 minutes tribe members will remove a section of the perch, making it smaller and more difficult to stand on. The last piece of the perch will be a section that is less than half the size of a postcard. The last person left standing wins Immunity. Jeff then adds that this would earn the winner a guaranteed spot in the final three and, in a twist, the final three will go to the last Tribal Council. The four remaining competitors stand on their individual perches, looking determined. After 15 minutes, the first section of the perch is removed. With no signs of struggle, 30 minutes pass and the second section of perch is removed. After 45 minutes, the third section is removed and Becky immediately loses her footing, falling into the water below. After an hour has passed, the three remaining competitors remove the fourth section and they are left standing on a very small section of the perch. Yul stays crouched down with a low center of gravity, while Sundra struggles as she stands with one foot completely on the perch and the other foot slightly resting on the perch. Going numb from his crouching position, Yul attempts to stand up and falls into the cold water below. After two and a half hours, both Sundra and Ozzy fight to keep their balance. Eventually, Sundra loses the battle and falls into the water, leaving Ozzy with Immunity. Fair Play Ozzy, Yul, Becky and Sundra return to camp. Ozzy congratulates Sundra on her performance in the challenge. Safe from the impending vote, Ozzy and Yul discuss how the vote should go. Ozzy tells Yul that he thinks the fair way to proceed is to have a tiebreaker challenge. Then Yul and Becky converse under the shelter. Motivated by his close friendship with Becky, Yul offers her the idol. Later, Ozzy tells Sundra and Becky that he feels the tiebreaker is the fair way to handle the remainder of the game. Sundra corners Yul, asking him if Becky has requested the idol from him. Yul denies it. But Yul later confides, "I've had to make so many compromises and broken so many promises. But the one thing I've always kind of stayed true to is my friendship with Becky. So to continue honoring that, I feel I might have to give her the idol. It's a tough, tough decision and I hope to God things just work out." Tie Breaker Tribal The Aitu Four arrive at Tribal Council stating that the vote will handled the way they have handled themselves in the game: fairly and honorably. The vote will end in a tie. Becky and Sundra must compete for a spot in the final three. Given only flint, steel, coconut husk and a small box of wood, they must build a fire big enough to burn through a rope, which will ring a bell. After thirty minutes of attempting to make fire, the jury starts to look bored, as both Sundra and Becky get nothing more than a spark. After an hour, the jury starts to yawn, Ozzy and Yul look horrified and Becky starts to sweat. Jeff announces that they will now use matches. After, many attempts and some small successes, the girls continue to fail. After an hour and a half, an exasperated Probst comments that, "After 38 days out here, you should both know how to make fire." Then, Sundra runs out of matches and sits helplessly watching as Becky finally gets a fire big enough to burn through the rope and ring the bell. As Sundra leaves, she says, "The fact that I even made it this far has just ignited so many things in me. And I'm so proud and I gave it my all like I did everything else. And Becky, Yul, and Ozzy--one of you is going to win a million and you're takin' me out to dinner." Final Feast On Day 39, the final three awaken early, toast coconuts and watch the sunrise together. Ozzy summons Yul to the beach as two native women paddle up in an outrigger with a final feast. Ozzy and Yul yell for Becky, who is on a distant section of the beach. The three sit and reflect on their game play and their strategy for appealing to the jurors. Yul states that friendships are worth more than a million dollars and his friendship with Becky is rare. Ozzy reflects, "I'm just hoping final Tribal goes really well. I'm hoping to get my point across. I've got a lot of pride and I feel like I'm representing Mexico. I've broken a lot of stereotypes. I'm a surfer up against two lawyers. Hopefully my actions, my intentions and everything I've done in this game speak for themselves. All I've got to do is hold it together one more night and finally this dream may take a step into reality." Final Tribal As the final three take a seat at Tribal Council, the Jury assembles to ask the questions that will help them make their decision. After the opening statements, each Jury member has an opportunity to ask the final three players some questions about their game play. Yul emphasizes his influence over the overall game, bringing the Aitu tribe to the final four as promised. Becky believes that her strategy was a social game. Ozzy tells the jury that he was the underdog through the entire game; he embraced the game and played as hard as he could to get to this point. After the questions were complete, the Jury cast their final votes. In a stunning 5 to 4 vote, an overjoyed Yul was awarded the million dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor of SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS.
