The Final Four

Kelly G(42)
Sean K(20)
Sean R(25)
Shii Ann(43)

	Roger was bossy, and made the group work harder than they wanted to work.  A counter-alliance was formed, and voted him out.

	Deena made a plan against her tribe with Rob C.  The plan was discovered, and her tribe got her out right away.

	Ryan was lazy, and didn't like to do work around the camp.  He had a little power in the tribe for a short time, but the working alliance got him out of the game.

	Rob Mariano spoiled Rob C and Deena's plot agaiinst the tribe.  That put a large target on his back for the new alliance that emerged after Deena was eliminated.  He was able to survive 3 eliminations in a row, but not the fourth.

	Gretchen's ousting was foreshadowed.  In the fifth round, the players played a mini game of Survivor, and she was the first one voted out.  The twist surprised the remaining 16 players, and instead of voting for jeanne, the votes shifted toward Gretchen, causing her foretold elimination.

	The people at in the Ulaen tribe that now lived at the Lataa camp ganged up on Kelly W, who was stuck at the other camp, not able to convince them not to vote for her.  She could have gotten farther if the psuedoswitch hadn't messed up her plans.

	Heidi has been on the working Lataa's radar for a while, and she eventually failed to pass an elimination challenge.  Too bad her theory that working hard doesn't get you farther in the game was proven in her favor.

	No one expected JoAnna to leave the game yet.  Everyone was trying to guess which Ulaen was going to leave, so the tribes would have been even.  At the end of the first half of the game, the Ulaen camp was finally able to pull themselves together and form a counter alliance against the Lataa camp, getting rid of Jo right before the merge.

	Jeanne was getting too pushy around the camp, making all of her new tribemates help out.  Half of the new tribe voted for her, and Vecepia beat her in the elimination challenge.

	After Jeanne left, her alliance was a little scared that they were outnumbered, and if another one of them left, they'd all be targets.  So when they heard the plan to vote Kel out of the game, they all agreed, so after Kel was gone, they would all appear to be in the same alliance.  Kel got all 10 votes:  the most votes any Cutthroat player has ever gotten in a single round.

	Elisabeth started the plan to vote Greg out.  With his alliance with Rob C, they were controlling all the votes in the game.  She got about half the players to vote for Greg, and his reign finally ended.

	Rob concidered switching alliances.  When Joel heard about the plan, he started a fight with Rob.  The two voted for each other, but in elimination, Rob just played better.

	Rob was next in line to be eliminated from the game, then it would have been Sean K.  Sean was able to plead for his life in the game, and flip the alliances around, getting Vecepia out instead.

	Robert is proof that all it takes is one vote to leave this game.  In the final 7, six of them voted for Sean R, while Sean voted for Robert.  Sean was able to do wery well in the elimination challenge, and kicked Robert out of the game.

	Sean R finally got his revenge on Rob C, turning half of the remaining players against him.  the votes were tied, but Sean's winning streak continued, and Rob finally left the game.  He was expected to leave in episode 3 or 4.  Instead, he impressingly made it 11 episodes farther than that.

	In another plea to save his life, Sean K talked Sean R into voting for Elisabeth, eliminating her, and making the final four split evenly between Lataa and Ulaen.

Day 33
	Shii Ann and Sean R get into a dispute about the last vote.  While watching, Kelly asks Sean K if this time, they are voting Shii Ann out.  Sean agrees.
	After the fight, Shii Ann asks Kelly to vote against Sean R with her.  She agrees.
	Sean R and Sean K discuss their plan, to vote out Kelly next.
	
It is time for the first of the final votes.

Day 34

	Kelly doesn't understand why Sean K voted for her, and she gets very mad at him.  Now, for the final vote, she has to choose between two people that just voted for her in the last vote.  She is too mad at Sean, and spends the day alone, leaving the two Seans with each other.
	Out of the 3 Robs, 2 Kellys(3 if you count Kel Gleason), and 2 Seans that started this game, only the Seans remain.  It would be expected that the final three would have three different first names, but that is just another thing to add to the list of things you could not predict this season.  There are only two more votes left in the game now:  one from the final 3 players, and the other from the 9 jury members.  This game has definately reached an end, and it has been very fun and exciting getting to it.

It is time once more, to vote.

Day 35

	The final two people in the game wake up at the crack of dawn, and despite their recent differences, smile and congratulate each other on making it to the final 2.  They cook and eat their final meal together, and give each other a long hug before starting their walk to the final vote of the game.
	They arrive at the spot where they cast their votes throughout the game, and waiting there are the last nine people eleiminated from the game.  Before the vote, each jury member says their piece about how they feel toward the final two.

	Kel says that he thinks they were cowards for voting for him just because the other players did, when Sean should have voted with his alliance.  He compliments Kelly on flying under the radar this far, and not having to backstab anybody.

	Greg congratulates the two of them for making it to the end of the game.  He tells them that it must have been hard for the last two Lataa to get seven Ulaen out in a row.  He asks them each to pick a number, because he can't decide which of them to vote for.

	Joel thanks Sean for telling him about Rob C switching sides, and tells him how Sean and Robert have been his two closest allies in the game.  He concludes by saying that he is glad he is able to give his vote to one of his allies.

	Vecepia compliments them both on playing the game so well, and tells Sean that he was very skillful in the way he maneuvered the votes away from him.

	Robert tells them that Joel took the words right out of his mouth, and that he, too, is happy to be able to give his closest ally his vote in the end.

	Rob C thanks Sean for sticking with him until the very end, and says that anyone willing to stick his neck out like that should get his vote.

	Elisabeth tells Sean and Kelly that she is both surprised, and disappointed that she was backstabbed the way she was, and she is glad Sean R isn't in the final 2 for that event to effect her vote.  She tells them that she had a great time living with them, and she wishes them luck outside the game.

	Shii Ann says that the two of them manipulated their way to the end, and she doesn't think either of them should get her vote.  She then asks who's idea it was to vote Elisabeth out.  Sean K admitted it was his.

	Sean R tells Sean K that toward the end of the game, they both helped each other get to the end, and he thanks him for that.  He turns to Kelly and says that she only got to the end by flying under the radar, and hiding behind Sean.

Here are the final votes:
Kel:  Kelly
Greg:  Kelly
Joel:  Sean
Vecepia:  Sean
Robert:  Sean
Rob C:  Sean
Elisabeth:  Kelly
Shii Ann:  Kelly
Sean R:  Sean

Sean has 5 votes, and Kelly has 4 votes.

After the jury says their piece, and the votes are cast, the host thanks them for such a great game, and leaves them.
	5 months later, after the final episode airs, the twenty players meet at the live reunion.  The host welcomes all of the players, and congratulates Sean and Kelly for making it to the end.  He then asks the two of them to stand up and follow him, because they have a winner to pick.

Final Challenge:
	The host walks Sean and Kelly over to a large table, with a deck of cards dealt face down on it.  He explains the rules.  Out of a second deck, the players will each draw a card.  Whoever draws the higher card gets to choose one of the cards from the first deck.  They will continue to choose cards as they are dealt the higher card, until all 52 of the cards have been chosen.  Then, their scores will be added up.  Each Ace is worth 1 point, Jacks are 11 points, Queens 12 points, and Kings are 13 points.  2-10 are worth 2-10.  Each vote given to them by the jury will give them 5 extra points.

Sean starts with 25 extra points, and Kelly starts with 20 extra points.

After the first 20 cards are chosen, Kelly recieves 12 of them, and Sean only gets 8.

After the first 35 cards, Kelly has 20 and Sean has 15.

After the entire deck is split between Kelly and Sean, Kelly has 31 cards, and Sean has 21.

Kelly has more cards, but it is their point values that make the difference between 1.5 million dollars, and $150,000.

Sean's points will be added first, because he has less cards.

Sean has 140 points, plus the 25 points from the jury votes.  He has a grande total of 165 points.

Now for Kelly's points.

Kelly has 234 points, plus the 20 points from the jury votes, giving her 254 points.

Cutthroat Runner up:  Sean Kenniff
Cutthroat Champion:  Kelly Goldsmith

The host congratulates Kelly on making it so far, and winning Cutthroat.

He then invites the final ten players from this game to compete in a Battle of the Seasons game against the final 10 from last season.
Will the original players show them how it's done?  Or will These players show the first season what they learned from watching them, first?

Next season will be the Battle of the Seasons:  Dodec vs Aqueña

20 people who have already played, will test out their skills against each other, with new twists they won't see coming.

Only some of them will merge, and make it to the end.  Which tribe has what it takes to cut the throats of the opposing tribe and fill those last two spots in the final round?

Find out next season, coming soon!
