Tribal Council Fourteen: Jeremy is Ousted. FInal Two Emerge and the Final Showdown Begins

Webcam Host Rob: So before we get to that very crucial vote, let's have our last host-moderated chat. I have a few question, particularly pertaining to this last 'physical' immunity challenge. How did the three of you react, when you realized that this game would also take on a physical element, for the first time?

Tagaeri - Joseph: i was pretty shocked because I'm not very good at any physical thing..I'm pretty weak so I thought I would do really really bad; So i thought it was pretty evil to do that! lol

Tagaeri - Alex: at first i thought it would be easy, i had coped with the book balancing thing. and then i tried a practise and i was like...crap

Tagaeri - Jeremy: i liked the physical element. Went to show how far everyone would go to win. It has been a crazy game, but that was by far my favorite challenge - even if i came in last :'(

Webcam Host Rob: How did the three of you react just now, seeing how two of your other tribemates did? Are you suprised? Not suprised?

Tagaeri - Alex: i personally was hyperventilating. i kind of knew what the others had done as they gave rough estimations, and it sucked that i had to lie about my time, but i wanted this win badly

Webcam Host Rob: So you did whatever it took to win this, even if that meant giving a false time to the other two, Alex? Was it worth it?

Tagaeri - Alex: yeah it totally was - in a non nasty way, but yeah

Tagaeri - Joseph: ... I really thought I had the challenge won, and I was getting really excited then when I heard Alex's score my heart sank.

Tagaeri - Jeremy: well, my answer is yes, most deffinately

Webcam Host Rob: So you were suprised...

Tagaeri - Jeremy: yeah? i dunno

Webcam Host Rob: Jeremy and Joseph, how do you feel about Alex's choice to fabricate his time? Would you have done the same, if given a chance?

Tagaeri - Jeremy: i had thought about it, but i decided not to of lied in the case i still ended up losing the challenge then what do i say...

Tagaeri - Joseph: I actually did think that someone would do that, but I just hoped that they wouldn't. But it was a very smart move on his behalf. I probably still wouldn't have done it if given the chance though

Tagaeri - Jeremy: Im surprised i didnt notice something fishy about his parents helping him, if he were just going to go for 40 seconds

Tagaeri - Jeremy: im guess im mentally retarded

Webcam Host Rob: So have your feelings changed since I gave you final results? Who here feels even more vulnerable (minus Alex)...?

Tagaeri - Jeremy: um - i dunno, lol

Tagaeri - Joseph: I definately feel vulnerable now because I really thought that I had won that challenge. One second I felt really secure, now i feel verrryyyyy vulnerable

Webcam Host Rob: Okay...moooving right along...let's talk about your last week in the game...did the three of you feel any different than you have in past weeks? I mean, this is the last week of the game, afterall!

Tagaeri - Jeremy: i dunno - it's sad. Day 98, and im going to miss it

Tagaeri - Joseph: I sorta felt different...lol. Knowing that it was the last week was kind of sad because the game flew by really really fast, so yes this week was different in a sense

Webcam Host Rob: Alex, how will you make that very difficult decision to take either Joe or Joseph to the Final 2?

Tagaeri - Jeremy: i think he should pick who said "yo yo, gangsta blang" or "hey there cutie, shakin dat booty" every time he IM'd him

Webcam Host Rob: Jeremy. Shh. You'll get a chance to state your case later. :-p

Tagaeri - Jeremy: oh, ok

Tagaeri - Alex: i've been thinking about this for a while. i have had a final 2 plan laid out for a while, but i never really knew if i had the guts to go through with it. and so i'm just stuck in the middle. i want to win, don't get me wrong..

Webcam Host Rob: Okay...

Tagaeri - Alex: but i also want to feel good about doing so. i want to be noble and good and honest and fair about it, but then i havent really been so far so it would seem kind of fake to start now, i really don't know, as you've guessed from this rambling. i'm in a huge dilemma, in my mind there are a lot of pro's and con's for the both of them. no offence you guys :-) sorry to objectify you there

Webcam Host Rob: So will you not have a decision made til' you go to vote?

Tagaeri - Jeremy: none taken cutie ;-) lol

Tagaeri - Alex: i made my votes earlier today - i say votes because i took pictures with my holding up both votes. i dont know which one i will send in for definite yet no

Webcam Host Rob: Is it possible that whatever Jeremy and Joseph say tonight, may help you to make a decision?

Tagaeri - Alex: depends what they say ;-) i mean if they say stuff like manatees then i will just be distracted

Tagaeri - Jeremy: omg, i saw this manatee today. it was bangin.

Webcam Host Rob: Well as you know, only one person makes that vote. Jeremy and Joe can't vote for Alex, Jeremy can't vote for Joe and Joe can't vote for Jeremy - their votes nullify each other. If there's anything either of you want to say that you think will help Alex to make his final decision tonight. This is your last oppoprtunity to state your case now...

Tagaeri - Jeremy: ok yo, this is how it goes down...

Tagaeri - Joseph: Hmm. There isn't anything really that I want to say.. even though alex doesnt really have his mind made up yet, ill just let him make the final decision in what he decides.

Tagaeri - Jeremy: Alex...Back in the day...remember when we were final 15? and I won the captain challenge? It was very exciting for myself and 2 others. You ended up on Xingu, and i was happy, because i was like “yay! british time zone advantage!” but after the first week or 2 or Xingu, you truely honestly did stick into my friend, and as a huge ally. i was sad to see you leave after the twist, because I didnt expect to get so close to you...and i only got 10 times happier when we merged, so that we could still chill out and stuff. so blah blah blah merge cakes and that brings us to the final 3 and basically...i love manatee's.

Webcam Host Rob: Thanks, Jeremy and Joseph. Alex, is there anything you'd like to say to Jeremy and/or Joseph? Or, are you satisifed?

Tagaeri - Alex: no i think i'm ok, i mean it's not really my place to be asking the other players. what they want to say, they will say and stuff, i will just have to deal.

Webcam Host Rob: Okay, thanks Alex. Jeremy and Joseph have stated their case. You've had an opportunity to think about this very important moment. The choice you make tonight will determine who is the last to go in the Jury and who you will be with, in the Final Tribal Council. This is the second most important vote that will be made in the next week. Are you ready to make, Alex?

Tagaeri – Alex: Yes.

Webcam Host Rob: With that said, it is time to vote. Alex, you're up...

Tagaeri - Alex: I have thought about what to say here so many times. And I still don't know. But, I came into this game wanting to be a strategist, and I think it's only fitting that I leave one. JEREMY, my vote is for you, and I'm not going to give you a lameass reason, you deserve better. A lot better. I could be fucking up our friendship by what I'm doing, and that is the last thing I want to happen. Jeremy deserves to win, but then I don't think I deserve to lose. It's a big contradiction thing, and in the end I think I have to play for myself. Gangsta bling 4eva though, and I mean that so seriously. I mean it's all up to you, I can't imagine how pissed and upset you will be, but you know, I still would really like to have your friendship and stuff. I feel awful for even saying this knowing what I have to do. But yeah. You know it ain't personal, it isn't even fair.

After receiving not one vite in the game, Jeremy gets his first one. Unfortunately, it's one deadly vote that is enough to eliminate him. Jeremy now becomes the last member of the Jury and the fourteenth person to be voted out of the game...
