ELIMINATION ORDER:
1. Malcolm
2. Denise
WINNER- Michael
LAST JURY MEMBER- Malcolm (3-1 over Denise)

FINAL TC:

Jury Q Order:
1. Artis: He congratulates neither of the final three.
2. Carter: He calls Lisa & Michael easy targets.
3. Pete: He criticizes Lisa for her knowing that Artis would be voted out. Denise then tells him the reason why she should win is because she got this far despite moving from tribe to tribe to tribe.
4. R.C.: She isn't surprised Lisa has made it all the way, but she then calls Michael out for not telling her Jonathan was going to be voted out on Day 19.
5. Malcolm: He liked Lisa's opening statement & that was the first time he considered voting for her. But he doesn't understand Denise's strategic reasoning.
6. Jeff: He gives Michael a choice of people that make things happen, watch things happen or wonder what the heck just happened- Michael thinks he falls under the group of castaways that made things happen. He then asks Lisa why she floated in the middle like Denise.
7. Abi-Maria: She doesn't know at the time who she'll vote for.
8. Jonathan: He spills the beans that Lisa was a former star of "The Facts of Life", notes that Michael hasn't gotten a single vote (as well as Jonathan himself having close to a record number of votes) & calling Denise the B-word.

After a moment of silence regarding last Fri.'s tragedy, the next Sole Survivor from CBS TV City is...






















































































































































































































...DENISE W/ SIX VOTES (starting w/ the second revealed vote & all the other votes as of the fourth one shown; Lisa got the first vote & the third vote went to Michael)! Lisa, however, is named the Sprint Player of the Season over Malcolm by the closest margin percentage ever- .7%!

Also during the reunion episode, Michael's given his shattered goggles back & Dawson plants a big kiss on the host's lips (when she was voted off, she tried to kiss him back then but only hugged him at the time).

Next season will be "Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites"- the 10 of the former are considered to be ultimate fans of the show.
