Night 36 and after the usual five minutes of the season recap, we rejoin the
Final Four as they return to camp.  I should add that we fans were treated to
a special credits showing just the Final Four and The Jury members!  Neat-o!
Back to the action, Courtney is very happy she's managed to slip through the
cracks and fly under the wire.  Now she hopes to make it to the Final Three.

Day 37 and they wake up hungry.  I guess Peih Gee was right after all, the rice
supply did not last.  Amanda fetches tree mail.  The good news is that it's to
be a Reward Challenge for food!  Woohoo!  The gang gathers with Jeff at a
mock-up of the Great Wall.  The players must cross over one bridge, assemble
a puzzle bridge and cross it to a pile of puzzle bricks and a traditional Chinese
yoke.  Carry the bricks back to the Wall.  Once they have all 12 bricks, assem-
ble them and fill in the gap of the Wall.  The prize is pizza, beer and brownies!
Todd voices his desire for the brownies.  Jeff tells them that it's only a serv-
ing for ONE!  Oh-oh! 

Todd and Amanda break out to an early lead.  They get their bridges built first
and begin carrying half the bricks back to the Wall.  Both go for load number
two when Courtney gets her bridge finished.  Todd and Amanda begin to
work on the puzzle bricks, which Jeff says is the hardest puzzle yet!  Denise
completes her puzzle bridge and goes for bricks as Courtney goes for her
second load.  All four are soon working on the puzzle bricks, but Todd and
Amanda are nearly finished.  Amanda forces the last piece in place and wins!
Jeff then offers her a dilemma.  She may eat the reward by herself, OR, she
may invite one OR two to join her.  Amanda is torn.  She'd like to invite Denise
and Todd but doesn't want to leave just Courtney out.  So she decides to in-
vite only Todd.  Denise and Courtney are sent away.

Amanda and Todd chow down!  She uses the opportunity of being alone with
Todd to confront him about rumors she's heard about his betraying her.  Todd
assures her that he's had her back all along.  He swears on his mom's life,
and his own, that he's behind her 100%.  Meanwhile, back at camp, Denise's
feelings are hurt.  Once again she feels left out and an outsider.  She talks
with Courtney about how untrustworthy Todd is.  That he needs to go!  The
diners return and Todd immediately chats up Denise, discussing strategy
with her.  Courtney is nearby and over hears them talking about booting her.
While fishing with Amanda, Courtney repeats the conversation.  Amanda tells
Courtney the reason she chose Todd for reward was to keep him feeling safe.
Todd then pops up and joins the chat.  He wants to confirm that everyone is
still on board with booting Denise next.  He is clearly paranoid about a possi-
ble 'Girl-Power Revolt'.

Day 38 and more tree mail.  The players are instructed to do the 'Memory
Walk', lighting firecrackers at each torch of the booted players.  So we get
the usual 'Fallen Comrades' flash backs, etc.  Then they meet Jeff for the
last Immunity Challenge.  The event is about balancing porcelain dinnerware
on a wobbly arm while steadying it with one hand.  They begin to pile on
the dinnerware.  Various sized plates and bowls.  With eight items piled on,
Todd loses his balance and is out.  Another small rice bowl is added, and
Amanda puts hers upside down.  Courtney loses her balance and is out.  I
guess her experience at waitress-ing didn't help.  LOL!  Denise tries to cut a
deal with Amanda, but she's not biting.  Another bowl of the same size is
added, and Amanda, again, puts hers upside down.  Denise loses control and
her dinnerware crashes.  Amanda wins the last IC!  Her poise from beauty
contest experience pays off!

Back at camp, Amanda is very excited.  Denise is very nervous and she tries
to sway Amanda with her life's story.  Amanda tells Denise she respects her.
Later, Amanda, Courtney and Todd chat and decide to boot Denise.  The big
question is should they be honest with her and let her know before Tribal
Council.  Amanda doesn't think it's a good idea as it may influence The Jury.
Alone, Todd tells Courtney that Denise must go, as she has too many sup-
porters on The Jury.  Courtney agrees with him.  Denise tries one more time
to get Amanda's support.  Denise says she's voting to boot Todd.  Amanda
tells Denise that she cannot vote against Todd, she's been aligned with him
since Day One.  But she does promise Denise not to vote against her.  Then
Courtney and Amanda have a private conversation.  They mull over if they
should boot Todd instead of Denise.  Amanda is worried that Todd may have
many friends on The Jury. 

At Tribal Council, Jeff first asks Amanda if she'll be giving up immunity to
anyone and she answers, NO!  LOL!  Then Jeff asks Todd how he'll be basing
his vote tonight?  Todd says it will be based on who he'd prefer to face The
Jury with.  Denise starts moaning again about being the outsider.  Courtney
says that she's also felt like an outsider at times.  Todd admits that he's ner-
vous right now.  Courtney also says she does not feel safe.  Denise adds that
she thinks the others believe they can't win facing The Jury against her.
Amanda says that she's uncertain about how The Jury perceives her.  Denise
then confronts Amanda about her promise to 'have her back', which Amanda
qualifies as she has said it before but not today.  Denise differs, which raises
a smirk from Todd that causes a reaction on The Jury.  Amanda feels that
Todd just threw her under the bus.  It's time to vote.  Denise votes to boot
Todd, the rest boot her.  Amanda really screwed up.  She should've cast a
vote against Courtney just to keep her promise to Denise.  Jeff snuffs out
Denise's torch and tells the gang that they've done all they can.  The power
is now in The Jury's hands!
