Well, the rollercoaster season of Survivor: Cook Islands came to an end last night. We finally learned which ethnicity reigned supreme, at last putting an end to hundreds of years of bitter racial divides. Now we know which race is best, and we can simply acknowledge that and move on. Oh, I kid, I kid. I wouldn't want the PC Police to come arrest me (that "politically correct," not "personal computer"). Nevertheless, this was a highly unique finale. The jury interrogation -- normally the high point of the season -- proved to be somewhat bland whereas the final vote was more exciting than any outcome since All-Stars two and a half years ago (when Ambah won by one vote). And then there was that endurance challenge. No, I'm not talking about the one where they stood on poles in the ocean. I'm talking about the one where they tried to make fire for ninety minutes. Ah yes, good times. All in all, a solid finale to one of the best seasons in years.

The big finale began with powerful, glorious images of the ocean. Well, actually, it began with a twenty-five minute recap of the season thus far, but that's neither here nor there. Once we were done viewing the traveling school of fish that encompass the Cook Islands fauna, we then moved onto a significantly less inspiring image: Adam sulking around in a tent. Yes, the last remaining whitey (and former Raro tribesman) was essentially biding the time until his elimination, possibly wondering why he never was able to fly like the eagle he knew he could be. "I had no one to sleep with. It was like I was back on Exile Island," he complained as he adjusted to life without Poverty. Poor Adam. Aaron Eckhart looks can only get you so far.

Meanwhile, Sundra began talking about how at this stage of the game, it was time to start thinking individually. People's feeling might get hurt, she warned -- as if she could ever hurt anyone's feelings. She'd probably start to cry at the thought of betraying a hermit crab, let alone a tribe member. Nevertheless, Becky somewhat echoed Sundra, saying it would be advantageous to get rid of Ozzy if they had the chance. Of course, anyone who's ever seen Ozzy in a challenge knows that he will never not win immunity. EVER. (I'm convinced that one time when he lost to Adam was some sort of practical joke).

We then cut to a shot of a centipede, another Mark Burnett fave, and then it was time for some tree mail. The gang received a clue that looked like some sort of spider web, and for a brief moment, I was optimistic that the Big Brother spider might make a triumphant return, spewing white jizz on the Survivors for no apparent reason, much as it had done so beautifully this summer in the Big Brother household.

Before heading out to the challenge, the Aitu Four all held hands and prayed, with Ozzy saying, "The vision that we had is finally going to be coming true." Hmmm... Could this mean bad news for Ozzy? Eh, probably not.

Later, the Aitu Four and their giant man-slave Adam all trekked on over to the Immunity Challenge where Jeff Probst eagerly said, "Hope you're ready for some fun today." He then suddenly began yelling, "C'MON! LET'S GO!!! HAVE FUN!!!!" Okay, he didn't say that. What he did do, however, was introduce the players to the next elaborate obstacle course. Everyone had to race around a ropes course to eight different stations, collecting a bag of puzzle pieces at each one. After each station, the players had to return to their own designated table and drop off their pieces. Once they had all eight bags of puzzle pieces, the survivors would then use the pieces to create an eight point compass rose, and if assembled correctly, a flag would raise. If this all sounded fun but not necessarily spectacular, think again. Jeff Probst informed us: "For what it's worth, in thirteen seasons of Survivor, this is the most difficult puzzle we've ever had." That's right, most difficult puzzle EVER! And with that, lightning flashed in the heavens, a gust of wind burst through my window, and ten bats flew into my living room, all while Jeff Probst evilly cackled "MWAHAHAHAA" in my head.
