Hello, once again, sports fans. We are here at the end of another episode of Survivor, where 2 of these people will be booted and one of the remaining two will be watching the other one win one million dollars.

Sounds fun? Well let's go!

Last time we left our cohorts, we have Rob the schemer, Matt - who's Rob's right hand man, but who is definitely in the driver's seat, Butch, who is clearly on the outside looking in in the male alliance, and jenna, who is really on the outside looking in, as she's the last woman left in a male-oriented world. Can the female be the last person standing?

We start with the traditional 'let's stuff everything that we have done so far into a ten minute montage. Then we starts with 'I am sick of putting up with her crap. that comes from Rob - and that was about Heidi. Jenna is in the final four - and her goals are accomplished. 'Even though tomorrow I'll be saying goodbye, happily.' It's pretty apparent that Jenna has to win immunity, or she will be #13 who will be voted off.

But first, they have to get to that tribal council - and in this case, while they are waiting, they can continue to rebuild the shelter that they will have to live in for the next 2 days. Matt is building, Jenna is moping, Butch is dancing, and Rob is scheming. Hasn't it been like that for the first 36 days?

Matt is convinces that it will be him and Rob in the finals, and then 'May the best man win'. Well, that is, if they can squeeze Butch and Jenna out. They get their first opportunity to do so at the immunity challenge. This is an obstacle course which is on a playing field. All you have to do is to negotiate their way through a maze and gather necklaces based on the elements. The catch? You are blindfolded. Whoever gets all four symbols comes back and wins immunity.

Butch takes himself out of this one quickly - but he's safe as long as Jenna does not win immunity. Only one problem - she does. Jenna outpaces Matt and narrowly surpasses him to win. She wins the idol - and since Matt and Rob are tight, I expect Butch to be given his exodus papers.

Rob, as always, is concerned - especially that Jenna could easily turn around and vote out R-O-B. 'I anticipate that there will be a lot of negotiations this evening.' Butch is doing squat in negotiations - and he knows that Matt and Rob will vote for him. Butch is absolutely right - and Butch asks Jenna to vote with him. Jenna says yes to Butch - but is that really the wisest move in the game? No.

And Matt confirms it with Jenna - Butch hasn't done anything wrong, but he hasn't done anything to play the game either. They agree to vote off Butch - but then Matt adds that he wants to do a secret alliance, where if either of them win immunity in the final three, then Rob is gone. Jenna agrees to that. Hmmmmm....

But enough about the Final Three - let's get to Tribal Council. Thanks to that little agreement, This is as anti-climactic as it gets. Even Butch knows that he is gone. And he is, by a 3-1 vote (Rob gets the other vote).

So we are down to Jenna, Rob and Matt. WHo needs the immunity more? Simply put, Jenna and Rob. Matt is truly in the driver's seat for this one. He has an alliance with Rob, and Jenna hates Rob to the point that she wants him gone. Matt doesn't even have to bother doing the immunity.

Before we get to that, the 3 remaining people get a sale and a mirror so that they can see each other. Everyone has lost at least 20 pounds. Uncle Jeffy comes to continue to give out rewards - this time they go out on a seaplane ride, which gives them a final chance to see the scenery before heading off to the final immunity challenge. When the trip was over, the group gets to go to a hut and adorn themselves before the last challenge.

That gives us some nice time-filler, and after that, It's time to go to Tribal Council - and the final challenge. Here's how it goes. Each player stands on a perch, holding a crown with beads attached over their head. If you fall off of the perch, or lower the crown, you are eliminated. The person who holds on the longest wins the much valued immunity.

Remember when I said that Matt would pretty much it out of this one? He does. He pulls a Richard Hatch in the middle of the event, and he gives up. That may come to bite him squarely in the behind, as Rob now tries to make a deal with Jenna - telling her to step down and he would take her with him. Matt is shocked, but not surprised. Jenna doesn't want to - and the main reason is that she wants to take Rob out of the game herself.

Jenna does get the win - she says that she wants someone who works hard - 'I don't want someone I can beat...I feel that I want to go against the best competition.' It looks like bye-bye, Rob.

This is of course, the $900,000 decision. Does Jenna take out Matt and make a sure million off of Rob? Or does she do the right thing and possibly cost herself $900,000 in the process? My money is that her hatred for Rob is more than her desire for the million - and I'm right. EVERYONE on the jury is smiling - which means that Jenna clearly gave away a sure million dollars when she knocked out the evil Robmeister. The question is - can she make the million off of Matt?

So we're down to Day 39 - and Matt and Jenna write down the names of the departed on their sheet. We get the 10 minute montage which no one cares about. What we find out (and do care about) is that Matt purposely threw the last immunity stunt, which was smart because A. he was guessing that the winner of the challenge would pick him and B. he would not be responsible for knocking someone else out of the game. Very Hatchian - and very correct.

After the internal look, Matt finds one of the boats and decides to stuff artifacts into the boat, then light it on fire and send it on it's way. Matthew does his best Butch interpretation and sets all of the boats on fire. Whoops.

Jenna is convinced that the jury has made up their mind. Speaking of which, we get to see the initial reaction of the jury, and in my mind, it's 2-2, with Alex, Rob and Dave being the undecided - and possible swing - votes. (Christy, Deena and Butch look to be pro Matt, while Heidi will be voting for Jenna).

We are now in the last phase of the game - it's time for the jury to vote on who wins the money. Jenna says that she doesn't have to say much, and that people know enough to make a wise decision on who to vote for. Matt says that he was the provider and that he was a serious contender who played with heart - and that he played the game honorably. Point to Matt.

Butch wants to know if they were ever deceitful during their time together. Jenna said that she lied to Deena. Matt said that he lied to Roger and that he deceived Alex to save his own skin. That seems like an even response.

Rob wants to know why the other person does not deserve to win the money. Matt says that Jenna hasn't done as much to contribute to camp - get the shelter, cook the water, etc. - and it seemed like Jenna gave up. Jenna says that Matt didn't play the game - and that he was on the tail end of an alliance. She also said that Matt doesn't need the money. Huh? Besides the goofy answer about Matt not needing the money, this one was also a push.

Here comes Alex - and he wants to know the player's biggest regret. Jenna says that too much trust in people (ie. Rob). Matt's biggest regret was his naivete and his decision to support Ryan and Dan. Safe answer, but a sucky one. Point to Jenna - but Alex was going to vote for her anyways, so that's not a big deal.

Heidi asks Matt and Jenna if they weren't there, who should be there to take their place? Matt and Jenna both come with the same answer - Rob. Rob is there, shaking his head, trying to avoid eye contact and kicking himself. Same answer, another push.

Deena calls Jenna, wondering why she said if they should vote on need, and not how they play the game. Jenna says that it's how they she would vote when it comes down to how to play the game. Deena asks Matt about saying may the best MAN win - and Matt apologizes for his comment. Both equally damaging comments, and they both defended themselves well. Another push on the question.

Christy is next. She asked how they reacted when she found out she was deaf. Matt said that it didn't affect him. Then she asked Jenna to explain her comment on how she said that being beautiful was a handicap. Jenna denied saying that, but Christy said that she did. I think Christy's mind is made up, regardless of what Jenna says - and it looks like Matt's getting this one.

Finally, it's Dave. He wanted to know what leader that he emulated. Matt says Colin Powell. Jenna says that she doesn't follow generals, but she emulated her mom. Her mom? (Point to Matt - but who knows what Dave is thinking with that question. Leaders?).

This could really go either way. I think that Matt has this one, but I can see I can see Rob or Deena being vindictive against Matt and who knows what Dave's going to vote for. This could be 5-2 Matt - or 5-2 Jenna.

Final Comments: Matt says that he shouldn't be on a pedestal and that he does not have the level of integrity, but he says that he has done his best to play the game the way that he can. Jenna says that she may not be the strongest person, but she said that she was strong enough to save her butt.

Here we go with the voting. Butch starts and votes for Matthew 'Matthew, you are the true Survivor of Survivor 6'. We see Heidi's vote, and to no ones surprise, she votes for Jenna. 'You represent someone that I can trust and respect in the worst circumstances.' Rob says that they were the only 2 people who he didn't vote off - but you can see in the candle light that he voted for Jenna. That surprises me. What else surprises me? That they had only one person that aired a vote. They usually have at least 2 people from each side. That would mean that Jenna won in a 6-1 landslide. That couldn't have happened - could it?

Uncle Jeffy comes up with the votes - and as we all know, we are waiting until he gets to NYC to read them. So in the corniest sketch since the American Idol Ford commercials, we get to see him on a Ski-doo motoring it over to NYC. Lame.

But it serves it's purpose, as we are all in NYC, waiting for the final vote. And tonight's show, thanks to the rain, will be in the David Letterman theater. No David Letterman, but it's still a nice area, as we see cameos of Jenna's family, and Richard Hatch, etc.

Jeff wants to know how many votes each person has. Matt says that he has 2 (Butch and Christy) for, 5 against. Jenna also says 2-5 - Alex and Heidi for, and the rest against.

Here we go - 1 for Matt, 1 for Jenna, 1 for Jenna, 1 for Jenna. Jeff pulls out slip #5 - and it's Jenna! Jenna wins Survivor Amazon!!!! I for one am shocked - not just because she won, but she won by the 6-1 margin.

This is the youngest Survivor winner - she wins 4 of 8 challenges, and she gives up one of those immunities to Rob. 6-1 vote - and Butch voted for Matt. Christy, who inexplicably voted for Jenna, said that Jenna outplayed her for the money.

So what happened with Jenna? 'I'm very young - I have a lot to learn'. In the last 3 days, she swayed the jury to vote for her. And the idea to pick Matt over Rob - it was strategy, because she thought that if she brought Rob with her, that she would have gotten her tail kicked. She may have been right - a bunch of people would have changed their vote.

Matt thought that him being psychotic and naive was an act - but he admits that he was getting dehydrated. Alex saw him there and he thought that Matt 'checked out' at that point. We also see that that act may have worked AGAINST Matt, because they thought that he was too naive and loopy to win the money.

We go to the battle of the sexes. Matt says that the guys got bent when there were no women, and Shawna stated that she needed men. We go to the montage of Shawna wanting out - then wanting back in. Any sparks between Alex and Shawna? no, but they'll be friends for a long time. As for Rob's social life? She has a girlfriend - who doesn't believe a word that he said.

As for the bathing women action? Jeanne was too busy working to comment, which caused sparks between the older and younger women. Jeanne responds by saying that women over 40 are very happy with their bodies.

On the guys side, Dave said that the guys did better at getting along. As for Janet and the granola bar incident? That came from Jeanne - she says that she saw the bar in Janet's bag the day before - she says that the bar 'may' have slipped out - but that was as convincing as Bill saying that he did not have sexual relations with 'that woman'. Jeanne pretty much had Janet dead to rights.

We get a profile from the deaf Christy. She realized that she had to kick it into gear after Joanna got voted out. She admits that her being indecisive led to her demise. Then we have Rob - and he says that the key is to know where every person stands - and where everyone else thinks that they stand.

Hey there's Daniel and Ryan - let's give them some time by seeing their demise. Dan also contracted malaria. 'Living with Roger was a walk in the park.'

After Jeff Probst says happy mother's day to his mommy (Awwwwwbarf), we get to see the next location of Survivor - Panama. The Pearl Islands. Each tribe gets their own island. Neat.

And about the stripping for chocolate and peanut butter? Jenna's parents wasn't thrilled, but they understood. Heidi is a schoolteacher - and she was hungry. They also talked about how hunger was a challenge - and the women wanted to pack it in when they lost the Coke challenge.

We finish this as Uncle Jeffy shows Rob his burnt but still working 8-ball, and Roger and Dan making up. A quick go to cbs.com plug to apply for Survivor 7, and we're out.

This was a great season - but the end reminded me of the ending of Survivor 4 - sure there was a surprize that Jenna won, but there was no build up as to why a bunch of these people voted the way that it did. I have to deduct points from the show for that, and put it as the third best show - behind Survivor 1 and behind Survivor 4.

I'll see you for Survivor 7!
