After 36 days, it's finally come down to the final five...

Day 37:

For Ozzy, Yul, Becky, Sundra, and Adam, it's the home stretch, although Ozzy thinks that Adam has given up. Sundra, meanwhile, never discussed what the plan was for the underdogs once they got into the Final Four. "There'll probably be hurt feelings, but that's the game."

True.

Ozzy thinks it's poetry that he's off to the final four with the rest of his alliance, but Becky will not hesitate to kick him the first chance. Winning Immunity is more important than ever.

"North, south, east, west
Every direction is a test.
Slither, run, balance, soar
... Guarantee a spot in the final four."

I-Challenge: The Most Tangled Web EVER.

Hidden through a rope course are puzzle pieces. Collect the pieces, come back to the web and solve the puzzle. First tribesman to solve the puzzle wins Immunity. This is said to be the hardest puzzle in the history of "Survivor."

Yul starts in the lead, but Ozzy makes short work of the puzzle after throwing himself about the puzzle grid. Ozzy's the last one standing, giving him Immunity and a 1-in-4 shot at a million dollars.

Back at champ, the former Aitu celebrates. Adam, meanwhile, would like nothing more than to wrest the hidden Immunity Idol out of Yul's hands. The only way it seems is to vote for him at Tribal Council and force it out of play. Adam talks to Ozzy and Sundra about it. He hopes this ladt ditch effort will work. "Right now I'm still here."

Night 37: Tribal.

Nate has a crutch. Ozzy says that nothing happened that could change Adam's fate. Adam says that he's given up. Becky admits Ozzy's Immunity has literally guaranteed the Aitu Alliance a shot in the next round. Adam notes that Becky and Sundra have been riding the other two's coattails, while Ozzy says he wants to win on his own. Adam pulls out one final card, saying that these "boring" people don't take risks. Will they take one tonight?

Becky: Adam
Adam: "Yule"
Yul: Adam
Sundra: Adam

Final vote... not that it matters...

Ozzy: Adam

Four to one, Adam, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN. And we're down to four.

No one can believe that they've made it this far, booting eight Raro members to make it to the Final Four. Yul thinks of this as a great morality tale to the character of minorities.

Day 38:

Ozzy enjoys the sunrise, taking in the energy to win the final Immunity Challenge. But first, as is tradition on day 38, the tribe will go on an amazing adventure, hiking to the higest point of the nearest island, all the while collecting the torches of the fallen, and burning them in an offering to the Survivor Gods that saw them through this adventure.

Wait, Final Immunity Challenge? But there's four of you!

I-Challenge: Put on a Pedestal

Each of four pedestals in the water have been proportioned to the tribesmen's foot size, so everything's equal for this final Challenge. The perch is sectioned into five pieces, and every fifteen minutes, one of the pieces will be removed until you're down to the final piece, which is about half the size of a postcard. Last one standing will have a one in three chance at a million.

And for the first time in Survivor history, the Final Three will have to face off against a jury of nine for a million.

Fifteen minutes... still four people. First piece goes.

Thirty minutes... still four people. Second piece goes.

Forty-five minutes... Becky drops... as does the third piece.

One hour... final piece... gone. Yul... Gone.

Sundra and Ozzy battle it out for the final Innumity Talisman. After 2:30... It's Ozzy!

Back at camp, Ozzy congratulates Sundra on an amazing effort. Sundra thought she had it. So it's back to Yul and Ozzy, the only two people guaranteed a spot against the Jury in the final, talk about their options. The way they figure it, they're in the same boat. Ozzy thinks that the only fair thing to do is force a tie situation and allow Becky and Sundra to fight it out.

Sundra asks Yul if there will be a surprise in the night's Tribal. "No."

Night 38: Tribal.

The Raro tribe... Jury. The Aitu tribe... Final Four. Sundra says she has to be ready for the good and the bad. Ozzy believes the best thing to do is to force a tiebreaker. Yul says that he will not play the Immunity Idol if he has it (Jeff, so far as he knows, thinks that Yul has it). Sundra: "If I get played, then I'm the sucker." Becky thinks accepting the hidden Idol would look bad in front of the jury. Yul wants to play the game as clean as he can, respecting loyalty.

The vote...

Ozzy: Becky
Yul: Sundra
Sundra: Becky
Becky: Sundra

Tied, two votes a piece. Jeff signals for a fire-tiebreaker. First person to break their line is in the Final Three.  And after ninety minutes of watching both women royally screw it, Jeff gives the two of them matches. Sundra... runs out of matches. Becky lights a fire and burns her way into the Final! Sundra, the MATCHES HAVE SPOKEN.

And now we've come to....

Day 39:  The Final Sunrise

Yul will get to feel human after today. Ozzy has to keep pinching himself. Becky knows she blew the tiebreaker challenge. The jury will come after her, but she's proud of the social game she played.

A final feast arrives via boat. Becky is nowhere to be seen. Ozzy and Yul are the only ones to receive it, a move that Ozzy calls "symbolic", because he believes that will be the way the vote will swing, mostly because of "Becky's embarrassing fire-making skills." After finally finding a wallowing Becky, the feast begins. Yul says his friendship with Becky is worth more than a million. Ozzy is proud to have acted as a positive role model for Mexicans. "All I have to do is hold it together one more night."

Final Tribal Council:

You know the deal by now. Nine people that Ozzy, Becky, and Yul all had a hand in voting out, either directly or through inaction, hold all the cards. It is up to them to determine who out of the three of them is worthy enough of a million dollars. Opening statements:

Yul: "I didn't want to play just an individual game where I just got myself to the final. I feel I've done more than anyone else to affect the overall course of this game. I don't think it's a coincidence that I've been on the teams or alliances that ultimately became dominant. I won't lie that I had to manipulate or deceive people, but I stayed loyal to people who were loyal to me. I feel like I've earned my way here."

Becky: "I came into this game knowing I'm not going to be the strongest. I had to rely on my social game and the way I could connect with people. I knew if I gave my word, I could count on that. Honest and true to my character. That's why I'm asking for your vote tonight."

Ozzy: "I was the underdog. My people were voted out the first tribe. I never let that stop me. I'm here to play the game and try as hard as I can. I knew that if I didn't fish, my ass was gone. I never tried to hide who I was. I embraced every aspect of this game with my soul. My actions speak louder than any words I'll be able to."

Nate... "Snap." He calls Yul the gangsta boss and Ozzy the warrior. Ozzy says he controlled the ultimate fate, "being the Yul of my tribe", citing the Billy vote Ozzy says he had to rely on himself. Why would Becky deserve a million over these two? "Whenever you say Yul was the puppetmaster, it wasn't Yul making the decision himself." Nate... is not satisfied.

Jenny asks Yul if he planned to play the game physically or strategically. Yul admits that he allowed Ozzy to be a target.

Parvati asks "Beckers" to convince her to vote for her. "Beckers" says she doesn't want to be seen as one who "cheated" her way through the game. "I want to win it the way that I'm proud of."

Rebecca asks Yul and Ozzy to tell her something she doesn't know to help her decide. Yul wanted to change the image of Asians on TV. Ozzy wanted to change the image of Mexicans on TV... among other places.

Adam wants Ozzy to rip into the other two, asking him not to be boring any more. Yul didn't work as hard as he could. Becky was pathetic at the fire challenge and at riding coattails.

Candice... wants a yes-or-no answer out of Yul. "My impression is that you've been shamelessly working the jury. Is that true?" Yul? "Yes."

Brad: "Kudos to all three of you." What has been the most challenging experience of Ozzy's life? His relationship to his father. He wants nothing to do with his own son.

Sundra: "What is one thing that you've discovered about yourself, about life in general, from being in this game?" Ozzy starts on about learning to love unconditionally. Becky learns to let her schedule go. Yul lets go of his anxieties.

Jonathan congratulates the three of them on playing him, then asks Yul to tell "his future constituents" how telling half truths got him through this game. Yul says Jonathan is absolutely right, saying that he would NEVER do this to unsuspecting people outside of this game. He finishes by stating that he did remain loyal to his tribe throughout the game. Jonathan asks an Ozzy he's found to be arrogant what he plans on doing with the money. Ozzy says he wants to go back to school.

For the last time... It's time to vote.

Jonathan: "I admired the game that you all played... but YUL... outplayed you all."

Parvati: OSCAR. "The ultimate competitor. The fire that you brought to this game completely captivated me. I think taht you played your heart out. You totally deserve to win this game."

That's one for Yul, and one for Oscar. The rest of the votes will be revealed...

Tonight: CBS Television City, 7800 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90036.

The final tally...

Yul... Oscar... Yul... Yul... Ozzie... Ozzy... Ozzie... Yuuuuuuleee...

Final vote. If it is for Becky, the final vote is tied.

It is not for Becky. Either Yul's mind or Ozzy's body is worth a million dollars... Take it, Jeff...

"The winner of Survivor Cook Islands..."

...YUL KWON! As he is embraced by his parents and the 19 Survivors that came before him, it's time for a reunion...

So how did he win it? According to Jeff, he did so many things "right" in order to keep him in the power position. Finding the hidden Idol is huge. "Maximizing the good luck and mitigating the bad luck" was the clue. He thought he was screwed once Candice and Jonathan mutinied. So why did she do it? "It's just a chance of a lifetime. It didn't work out, but it was fun." Sundra just think that her tribe gelled. Meanwhile, Yul also was cited for getting Jonathan to come back over to his side. Adam was also instrumental in Yul's victory, in that he kept his word to vote his way should Jonathan or Parvati or both leave the game before he did. That.. floored Ozzy. Well, not really. The four made that decision themselves, but Ozzy didn't know of the deal. Yul acknowledges Becky as a power mover as well. Becky will probably most be remembered as the girl who could not start fire after 38 days. Oh, and romance between Ozzy and Becky... never entered their minds.

And outside of the game... Yul was named one of People's sexiest men alive. And the hot tub? "I wanted to get the hell out of there." What did Yul did once he got home "Got a Costco membership and went crazy."

"Born to play" is all Ozzy. Where did he come from? "I just have a very eclectic background. One of the first books I read was Robinson Crusoe." He knew how to swim and spear-fish. The best part according to Ozzy... "The whole damn thing." The concrete jungle got to him once he got back. Getting back to a primal nature got to him. Ozzy's father.. the person who raised him, here in the crowd.

What about the "Wandering Jew without a tribe?" Was Jonathan a villain? No, he was just antagonistic. "We're all playing the game. There's no villain in a poker tournament." The people who called him names were just advancing their game as well. Jonathan became a lot more appreciative of the family he has. He's very thankful to have done this. Jenny regrets not saying anything before she was voted out.

Playing us to the break, the first person voted out, Sekou Bunch, sitting in with Survivor music gurus David Vanacore and Russ Landau.

Where about did Cao-Boi come? All his life he came from "living it his way." This is the "culmination of life experience." Cao Boi says he's from the old school, thinking about things before acting.

So was it a good idea to divide tribes along racial lines?

Yul started thinking that it was a mistake, but over time, he showed that it's who you are inside that counts.

Nate was called a "race traitor". But ergardless of color, skin, he has to survive. Stephannie and Rebecca thought that he had their back. "If we're close, I expect you to look after who you are."

Brad thinks that there is pressure to represent who you are and breaking stereotypes.

Quick question. Candice and Adam... strategy or romance? Strategy, says Candice. Adam... "Candice is a great girl, but we've got separate lives now."

Nate and Parvati? Nate says yes there were some feelings. Parvati... agreed. As for being a boxer... "Model boxing." Yeah, figured.

JP was contacted by the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. Cristina was joked on by the rest of her police department. Cecilia is changed for the two rounds she was on the show. Flica says she's not stuck with the hair.. she embraces it. As for Billy... well, I hear Candice is available now.

Now, over the season, online viewers such as yourselves were voting for who played the most clever game. The winner gets a 2008 Mercury Mariner. That vote... was extremely close, between Yul and Ozzy. The difference was less than 1 percent. Winner... Ozzy! He gets $100,000 and a new car.

But once again, Yul Kwon, $1 million. Memorabilia up for grabs at www.pedaids.org. Applications for S15 at cbs.com.

But as one chapter of the Survivor saga comes to a close, a new chapter will begin. This February, 19 castaways will outwit, outplay, and try to outlast in "Survivor: Fiji", as one tribe will live the life of luxury, while the other will be left with virtually nothing. Hope to see you there. Big thanks to my partner Eric Pierce for helping out. Good night, see you in Fiji.
