Hey everyone, Justin is off graduating college (a huge congratulations to him for such an amazing feat) so I (James) will be filling for him this week. I don't quite have the pizzazz or storytelling abilities, but I will try my best. I'll just warn you now, that this will be short and sweet.

The tribe returns to camp a bit uncomfortable since Caryn lay it all out there at Tribal Council but the four are ready to press on and finish off what they have started.

The next morning, Jenn and Katie head to get tree mail and alarm the men back at camp after screaming their heads off. Tree mail contained your basic breakfast foods, bacon, eggs, bread, and some champagne and orange juice. The tribe rejoices over their 'reward' and Katie says how nice it is to actually enjoy each others company. Reality sets back in however when she realizes they are about to cut each other's throats. Prior to the immunity challenge, the girls along with Ian said that Tom would be voted out if he does not win the next immunity.

The Final 4 enter their first immunity challenge and notice a nice yellow car waiting for them. Jeff tells them that the winner of the challenge will not be winning the car, however, the winner of the game will. He also points to the glove compartment where a million dollar check was sitting inside.

The reward challenge consisted of a tire obstacle course with knots. After traversing this obstacle course, whereby they obtained keys, they used these keys to make it pass another obstacle. Ian and Tom completed this portion of the challenge moving onto the next stage of the challenge. The two would zip line into the ocean, grab a box containing a set of three numbers. The two would have to swim back to shore and use the numbers as a combination to unlock the lock. After many failed attempts, Tom manages to win immunity, much to Katie and Jenn's disappointed reactions.

The tribe arrives back to camp and Tom and Katie in particular console Jenn who is evidently upset at going home next. She sheds a tear, and Tom and Katie give her a hugs. Tom had explained to Jenn that the entire time, he had an agreement with Ian and would not go back on his word with him. Ian then made a comment that got him into trouble. He expresses his relief to Tom that he won't have to make the decision as to who to go. Tom took this to mean that Ian would not definitely protect him if Ian were in the same position. Tom talks to Jenn about it and she reveals that the plan was to take out Tom if he did not win immunity. Tom goes confront Ian and the matter is all out in the open. Ian admits that he did mention to the girls he would vote for Tom had he not won immunity. Tom doesn't want to hear anymore of it, and the tribe heads off to Tribal Council.

They arrive, the jury enters and Jeff Probst notes that they are way overdue for their business. He speculates something back at camp had happened and this is when the tribe starts to talk about the fall out between Tom and Ian. The talk in circles some more until they vote. Jeff Probst tallies the votes, revealing a 2-2 tie between Ian and Jenn. In the revote, they are deadlocked again and now, Ian and Jenn must face off in an individual immunity challenge (the same which Stephenie and Bobby Jon battled in). In the end, Ian's fire lit first and he secured his position in the final 3, sending Jenn off to the jury.

The three head back to camp and have it again. Ian feels miserable but nothing he can say will mend things. Katie even gets on his case about wheeling and dealing and getting caught. He is not having fun and is on the verge of a breakdown.

The next morning, we see a shot of Ian waking up, digressing about his worst night out on Palau. He grabs tree mail and reads it to the rest. They learn the must raft out and commemorate the 15 other people who played this game (Jonathan and Wanda MIA). Afterwards, they arrived at their final immunity challenge.

The immunity challenge consisted of the three standing on buoys using only a small disk to maintain their balance and a pole for them to grab a hold to. After a few hours, Katie quits the challenge and joins Jeff on the small dock. The men battle it out, both saying they are only getting started. Then, Jeff pries in by saying 4 hours have passed (8 hours total) and no deals have been made. Tom makes a move and says that if he wins, he will take Katie, or if Ian steps down, he will take Ian. All Ian can say to that is no dice. After 3 more hours, Ian reaches a solution. He wants Tom to take Katie if he steps down, which will uphold his promise to the both of them. He is not happy as to how he has been playing the game, and would rather keep his integrity and friends. Upon his 'exit,' Jeff prompts a Tribal Council to be held, as it is not necessary. Tom verbally eliminates Ian, the three of them hug, Ian pushes Tom into the water (for saying something funny?) and the final 2 paddle back to camp.

The final 2 just burn the camp down. Not much is said other than how they are both excited to be in the final 2.

The two enter Tribal Council and make some general opening statements. We'll move on from that.

Coby: addresses how Tom lied pretty well, and said Katie was useless around camp, did nothing and was terrible at the challenges.

Gregg (tearing up): confronted Tom about being booted and said Katie was pathetic and useless (she cries in response)

Stephenie: asked Tom if he really fought for her and asked Katie why she should NOT vote for Tom

Janu: questioned if Tom gave up any of his integrity and asked Katie to describe herself using three positive/negative words - Katie refused to answer the question

Caryn: asked if she was a pawn in Tom's game and some other gibberish to Katie

Jenn: she commented that Tom was chauvinistic and how could he expect someone who didn't treat her as if she was playing the game to vote for him and elaborated on how Katie did not make a move throughout the game

Ian: to both: why should we as a group not give you a million

After all is said and done, the jury votes. Coby votes for Katie for giving an honest answer and Janu is just rooting for Tom all the way. When the votes are read, Tom is announced the winner of Survivor Palau by a margin of 6-1.
