Day 38
They return from the challenge. Danielle has the Immunity necklace. She says she is happy to win, but she has a huge decision. One that will cost or earn her one million dollars. She says that she promised Terry, but she gave Aras a head nod. She says she isn’t going to take someone because of a promise, but who she can beat.
She tells Terry she doesn’t think it’s fair for her to take someone who she felt will beat her. She says that if he had given her the hidden idol, she would have taken him 100%.
Terry says she is confused. Danielle worries that if she takes Terry it will seem disloyal to Casaya.
She wants Terry to respect whatever decision she makes. He says that he won’t throw daggers at her.
Aras, says that he is paranoid that Terry and Danielle were talking. He told Danielle he would feel horrible if he jumped off, because he thought she gave him her word, then she brings Terry. He tells her that she better bring him, and threatened not to vote for her. Danielle thinks that he is being a hypocrite.
Terry decides to not pressure her. To let her make her own decision. Aras and Terry hug each other.
Tribal Council
Jury is in…
Jeff: The two big dogs don’t come through in the challenge. Danielle wins. How does it feel?
Danielle: It’s great, but a tough decision.
Terry, do you respect the position Danielle was in?
It was frustrating to not to win the last challenge. I don’t want to go home today.
Aras, what do you say to Danielle?
I thought I was golden. I told her she had her best shot with me.
Danielle says she just feels like crying.

Night 38
Aras is so happy. He says the two youngest players in the game made it.
Aras said the final tribal council was tense. He says he played with integrity and intensity and enjoyed himself.
Danielle decided to take Aras because he was a part of the Casaya tribe, and to choose Terry it would have been a slap in the face. She says her job isn’t done yet. She wants the million dollars.
Day 39….
Last day on the island!!
There was breakfast for them, with Champaign.
They walk around their camp, and say goodby. Wanting to leave the game in a civil manner. Then Aras falls on his back in the rocks. and slices it pretty bad. He doesn’t understand why he fell (perhaps the Champaign.) Aras says he feels faint. He needs stitches. Danielle doesn’t like blood.
The Medical Team arrives. Aras says that he doesn’t want anything that will keep him from forming sentences. Danielle says to drug him up.
The give Aras multiple stitches. He feels like an idiot.
Commercial Break
Danielle and Aras sit around camp talking about what an idiot he is. He makes some predictable analogies on life that I won’t bother writing.
He’s still talking….
Danielle walks around talking about herself, and looking hot. She is proud of her game. She hopes the jury realizes how wonderful she it.
They head off to the Jury….

Question: You battled like real Samaria worriers. What will you be doing with the responsibility of the winning?
Aras: I will change myself to inspire.
Danielle: I want to give speeches to kids.
Terry:
Question; Your comment about bout deceiving someone was wrong. He never came close to decieving someone (ummmm…. Dan, moron) He says someone down the line says “should have taken the Navy guy.” Rate yourself on your outplaying (challenges.)

Danielle: 81/2 I would have given myself higher if I didn’t take the burger.
Austin:
Question: Congrats. Tell me one incident where you made a good move, and another that wasn’t on the up and up.
Danielle: Persuading people not to vote Bruce, Second was voting of Courtney.
Aras: Telling Melinda she was being voted off. I feel good she knew. I wasn’t proud of voting off Shane. I had to lie.
Courtney:
Question: She forgot her guns, they were dropped in the sea of forgiveness. She is acting like a moron. She says that she was backstabbed. She makes some comment about being a bird… What did you learn about yourself?
Aras: We both put each other names on the parchment. My ego was smashed. Courtney tells him it will help.
Danielle: I didn’t realize how mentally strong I was.Courntey blabs on about how wonderful that is. Someone smack her.
Cirie: Queestion: Hard to follow Courntey. Tell me why I should vote for the other person.
Danielle: Aras was unbelievable. A great person. Respectful.
Aras: When I hurt my hand, she was great. She helped me. Danielle points out that she told the doctor to drug him.
Shane:
Question: Congrats. He is disappointed that Terry is not there. He thinks they are both undeserving. He says Danielle was useless at camp. That she can’t compete a sentence. He doesn’t know her.
Aras, we had an agreement based on what was important. He lied and cheated and it wrecked him. He can’t judge Shane on his actions not his intentions. He says he can’t vote for him. He wants them to choose a number between 1 and 1,000,000
Aras: 4
Danielle: 10
Commercial Break
