Final Tribal Council

[Jeff Probst]

Final Tribal Council

Congratulations to Michelle & Trish for making it to the final two.

We begin FTC with the two of you making your opening pleas to the Jury. After that, the Jury will have an opportunity to question you.

Jurors, you can send in your votes at any time.

Good luck.

[Michelle Tesauro]

Ok, Well I am glad that I am in the Final 2 this season. I am happy to have made it here and it was a fun game. I think I played this game well and I think that I did what I had to do to get here and I am hoping that I will get enough votes to win the game.

I think I did many things to get me here, such as splitting the tribes the way they went, making my alliances where I had to have them and I was social with everyone I met. Unfortunatley I did not meet all of you but since trish was on a tribe with me this whole game we met the same people. I am hoping to get to know you all here in this final tribal council, and I am hoping I can prove to you that I deserve the win.

I will be 100 percent honest, and I am looking forward to answering the questions you want to ask me. Good luck Jury and Good Luck Trish!

[Trish Dunn]

Well, as usual, this was another fantastic game in the Second Chances series! Thank you for hosting, Jeff!

Michelle, you were a great ally and friend once again, and I can't thank you enough for that!

Jurors and pre-jurors, without you, this game wouldn't have been nearly as fun and as exciting to play. Thank you for making this game as fun as you did!

It is now time for the last part of the game, jury questioning. I know some of you may not be too pleased to see me here, but I will try as hard as I can to prove to you honestly that I deserve to win this game.

Good luck Michelle!

Hello ladies, be the first to cut the ice here since, well, I'm here already lol.

Trish, you played one hell of a game yet again. You were always honest and personable, you had the social game down to a T, and you did very well in the challenges.

Michelle, you also played a good game, although you weren't as sociable as Trish was (which was your downfall in Amazon when you were Daniel), and that could be your downfall yet again. The only time you talked to me was in the end, saying if you won the last challenge you'd bring me to the finals, but you lied. Our one conversation in this game and it was a lie, so I cannot believe anything you say, because once a liar, always a liar.

So I will do the typical juror question, because I already have my mind made up, but I would like to know...who would you compare each juror to in the real Pearl Islands season and why?

Hello Shawn! Thank you for all of the kind words! I appreciate it!
Here is the answer to your question:

Tijuana: I will compare Tijuana to Burton. I unfortunately do not know a whole lot about her strategic game, but like Burton, she was voted out before the jury stages, but got another chance to play the game due to a sudden twist. Neither of them were able to make it into the finals when they returned.

Lillian: I will compare Lillian to Osten. While Lillian did not quit the game, she did, according to the tribal council thread where she left, lose the challenge on purpose to let Darrah go farther.

Nicole: I will compare Nicole to Christa. Both of them had their allies, and a sure path to making it deep into the game. Then, they lost their allies (Christa when Rupert was voted out, Nicole because of the tribe swap). For both, it was only a matter of time before they would be voted out by another alliance, and in both games, it happened.

Darrah: I think Darrah played alot like the real Darrah. Both of them were monstrous at challenges, and huge threats. And in both cases, a challenge loss is what ultimately sent them packing.

Christa: I will compare Christa to Jon. They both had great understandings of the strategical aspects of Survivor, and knew their tribemates inside out. They were both voted out because they were much too big of a threat to keep around.

Ryan O: I will compare Ryan O to the real Ryan O. Both of them made their way through the game by having the right allies at the right time. But the demise of both players was that they were a known threat to the other players left in the game.

Shawn: I will compare Shawn to Tijuana. Both of them had their allies beside them, and managed to make their way through the game. But when both thought they just might have a chance of making it to the end, they are blindsided.


I hope you are satisfied with these answers

[Nicole Delma]

You should vote for Michelle to win because she never received one tribal council vote this entire game. That is not an easy thing to accomplish. One reason you should not vote for her is because she wasn't as social with alot of people as I was.
I hope these answers are to your liking

[Michelle Tesauro]

Hello ladies, be the first to cut the ice here since, well, I'm here already lol.

Michelle, you also played a good game, although you weren't as sociable as Trish was (which was your downfall in Amazon when you were Daniel), and that could be your downfall yet again. The only time you talked to me was in the end, saying if you won the last challenge you'd bring me to the finals, but you lied. Our one conversation in this game and it was a lie, so I cannot believe anything you say, because once a liar, always a liar.

Well, basically, I didnt speak to you but i was more socialble with others that I met. but I wanted to cover my butt if you did win the final immunity. I was told you were close to trish, and you confirmed it telling me you promised Trish you would vote her and help her. I understand that. I wanted to get to the final 2 if you won, so I had to do my best incase you won to get there. Thats why I did it Shawn, I am not a liar, I never said I would bring you. I told u we couldnt let Trish win, hoping you would take me to finals with you if you had won, but I would probably be in your place if that happened.

So I will do the typical juror question, because I already have my mind made up, but I would like to know...who would you compare each juror to in the real Pearl Islands season and why?

Tijuana- Lillian - I would compare her to lillian because she got another chance, but she was strong and wanted to be in this game. unfortunatly she was taken back out of the game.

Lillian- I would compare Lillian to Osten, she didnt quit but backed out for someone who she thought should go further than her.

Nicole- I would compare her to Michelle, She didnt really get a chance to shine because she was cut before she could get there to make a move. She wasnt there long to make an impact on other people in the game.

Darrah- I think I would compare her to Darrah, because she was strong, kind hearted and never gave up. I think she had the same qualities.

Christa- - Ryan O, had the game in their hands but without immunity their ties were cut because they were a threat.

Ryan O- Jon, He knew what he was doing but was taken out of the game for being a threat.

Shawn- Burton, even though he wasnt brought back like the real burton, he played the best he could but had to settle for 3rd place.

[Michelle Tesauro]

Nicole-As i did not get to know you both my question is give me a reason to vote for the other person and one reason for them not to win.

Hello Nicole, Well one reason for Trish to win is that she was more social in some aspects then myself. One reason for her not to win is that I didnt think she made any bold moves that really stood out in this game. she was more tucked away.

Thanks for the question

Quesion 3) Now we come to my Random question. What is your favorit and your least favorit Survivor season and why?

Hi Ryan!

2. I think the two people who did not make the final 2 but deserve it most would be Darrah and Christa. I chose Darrah because she left the game due to a challenge, and could have easily made it much farther and played a much harder game, if she had made the merge. I chose Christa because she likely played the best strategic game out of everyone. She knew exactly what she was doing, who she was with, and how she would get to the final 2, but was just too much of a threat to be allowed in the final 2.

3. My favorite survivor season was Pearl Islands, because there were many interesting people, and many surprising blindsides. My least favorite was Cook Islands, because I found the majority of the cast to be boring, and I just could not get into that season.


I will have to answer your first question later. To everyone who does not know, I am heading out to Germany tomorrow, for three days. I will be back on Saturday to answer all of your questions. So I would appreciate it if you would wait until then to have your questions answered. Thanks!

[Michelle Tesauro]

Congrats on making it to the final 2.

Question 1) Rank each Juror after their gameplay and compare them to any Survivor.

Well, This is hard because I didnt get to know a lot of people in this game because we were never on the same tribe but I will try.

Ryan O - Strategy wise, good at challenges and was also very social.
Christa- Social threat, was also good in challenges.
Darrah- Never gave up and was never a quitter
Shawn - Had the alliances he needed to get far in the game.
Nicole- Tryed to get as far as possible and never gave up.
Lillian- Also trieed to get far, but gave up for a friend to let them continue.
Tijuana- Was voted out got back in but couldnt make a comeback and was voted out.


Question 2)Wich 2 People in this game would have deserved to be in the final 2?

I think the 2 people that deserve a spot in the final 2 would be Ryan O and Christa.

Christa is because she was a dominate person socially in this game. She was a threat and could have been a possible winner this season.

Ryan O - The challenge threat. Dominated in every challenge and knew what he was doing.


Quesion 3) Now we come to my Random question. What is your favorit and your least favorit Survivor season and why?


Well my least would be between All stars and Palau, All stars because of how it played out with a winner who was still in because of someone else. and Palau because my fav people lost because they were on Ulong.

and My fav would be Cooks, and Pearl islands. I liked cooks because of the players and how the game progressed. It was a good season in my mind because some things were very unpredictable.

[Michelle Tesauro]

Now Comparing them to a real survivor.

Ryan O - Strategy wise, good at challenges and was also very social. Ozzy
Christa- Social threat, was also good in challenges. Yul
Darrah- Never gave up and was never a quitter. Terry
Shawn - Had the alliances he needed to get far in the game. Cirie
Nicole- Tryed to get as far as possible and never gave up. Amanda
Lillian- Also trieed to get far, but gave up for a friend to let them continue. Ian
Tijuana- Was voted out got back in but couldnt make a comeback and was voted out. Burton

[Christa Hastie]

Yul is a horrible choice to compare me 2. You might lose my vote because of that. And I was going to vote for you out of pity.

[Michelle Tesauro]

Christa, I compared you to Yul because You were good Socially, you were good In challenges and you were a good overall player that could have won.

That is why I compared you to him
