Episode Recap: Survivor Cook Islands - Week 15 FINALE ... and the Reunion Show

Episode: This Tribe Will Self-Destruct in 5, 4, 3, ... Original Air Date: December 17, 2006 We're down to the final five, and this contest is truly up in the air. Yul is definitely the smartest castaway, but will that be enough to put him in the final two? If he gets to the final two, will he find out that his skillful manipulation of the game has earned him enemies in the Jury? What about Ozzy? The fact that he's half-monkey, half-dolphin makes him the biggest threat, but will he be able to win every single immunity challenge that's left in the game? That's probably what...Read the rest of the post

Episode: I Have the Advantage ...for Once Original Air Date: December 14, 2006 It's Day 34 and Adam and Parvati know the chances of both of them surviving the next Tribal Council are pretty slim, as in Nicole Richie slim.

Adam and Parvati talk things over and conclude they must come up with a plan soon - and win the next Rewards Challenge so they can decide whom is sent to Exile Island. Rewards Challenge - The rewards challenge this week is simple. The castaways are to roll around in a pool of mud until they're completely covered (Yes, I realize that's entertaining enough, but there's more)...Read the rest

Episode: Say Your Deepest Prayers Ever Original Air Date: December 10, 2006 It's the final leg of the race and Bickering Couple Rob and Kimberly are the first to leave the Pit Stop. They are told to find a church in Barcelona that has been under construction for 124 years (Haven't we all dealt with contractors like that?).

Rob and Kimberly find the clue first and find out that they are to fly to Paris and go to the Eiffel Tower.

Episode Recap: Survivor, Cook Islands - Week 13

Episode: Arranging a Hit Original Air Date: December 7, 2006 It's Day 31 and Parvati is still incensed at Jonathan. She would like to take his head off, so she decides to practice on some coconuts with a machete. Unfortunately, she misses the coconut at one point and splits her thumb open instead. The Survivor medical team are called on to the scene and deliver the bad news - though she will only need a stitch to keep the thumb together, they'll have to amputate the nail. "No!" she screams, "not the nail! Oh God, why me?! If I can't keep the nail, just let me die!" ...Ok, maybe that's not exactly what she said. The medics remove her nail and...Read the rest

Rob and Kimberly are already off to a great start. Kimberly is riding in the back of their SUV, observing the mountain scenery. She tells Rob, "I don't like that there's so many dogs around here." "Those are goats, Babe." I don't know what it takes to get into the final four...Read the rest

Episode Recap: Survivor Cook Islands - Week 12

Episode: You're a Rat Original Air Date: November 30, 2006 If there is such a thing as overplaying this game, Jonathan seems to have done it. It's just after Tribal Council, where half the tribe discovered that Jonathan had betrayed them and flipped sides yet again. Parvati is not a happy camper. "I'm literally sick," she says, "I just want to take Jonathan's face and puke all over it." In the midst of the argument, Jonathan blurts out that Yul has the Immunity Idol, so he had to switch sides. "I hope you're happy with second place," Parvati says, "because you've played yourself out tonight." She may be right...Read the rest
