Previously, on Survivor: 36 days ago, sixteen strangers were stranded in the heart of Siberia, a land of cold tundra in Russia. They were divided into two tribes; Olkhon and Baikal. Olkhon had the majority through four episodes, when the switch occurred. Feeling down, but not out - Cipher, James, Bobo, and Bryan teamed up to vote out Noelle, and then threw the final immunity to oust Robert. At the merge, a tie was inevitable, and Mike feared for his safety. However, James voted for Eric, not for Mike, and was voted out in a 5-4-1 vote. However, at the next tribal council, Eric was voted out while Bart kept changing allegiances. But soon after, the Pagonging began, as Bart joined Mike, Kim, and Blair to pick off the Baikals. Bobo was going to be the next victim, but he came out of no where to win the immunity challenge in the final five, securing himself another three days in Siberia. The final four alliance knew that they had to vote one of their own out, and Bobo even offered Bart a deal to ally, but in a 4-1 vote, Blair was voted out of the tribe. The final four of Bobo, Bart, Kim, and Mike will need to outlast each other another couple days to be sitting in front of the jury, and not with them. Four are left - who will be voted out tonight?
REDEEMA CAMP

Mike talks about having to vote off Blair.

Blair - It was very difficult to see Blair go. While we've never had a real conversation, or gotten to be friends or anything, it's always hard to vote out someone from your original tribe. ESPECIALLY someone who has been so loyal for the whole time you've been in the game. Personally, I didn't want to do it, and rather would have voted Bart, but I know Kim trusted Bart more. I didn't want to upset Kim, so I went along with it knowing that Bart would stay true to his word.

Then, he goes over a very lengthy list of different scenarios that could happen…

So, here I sit. In the final four. (Well, Blair's not gone yet, but I'm sure he's the one to go, lol, so I'm writing this as if he's alerady gone, heh).

Wow. 12 people gone. Now only four remain.




<;:;:;::[==== Bart ====]::;:;:;>
<;:;:;::[==== Bobo ====]::;:;:;>
<;:;:;::[==== Kim ====]::;:;:;>
<;:;:;::[==== Michael ====]::;:;:;>


It's quite obvious what will happen from here on out. The next one gone will be Bobo, as everyone else is clearly against him becoming active all of a sudden and winning that challenge. After that, Bart will leave, as Kim and Myself have that final two pact. So, we will proceed to the final two, where I will lose in a landslide to the ever lovable Kim Preston.

That's what was planned. That's what will happen. And that's that.

But then again ....

I joined this game to win, not to come in second place. Why am I going through with this final two pact when I know that I can't win? There's no reason to vote me over Kim, none at all. We're pretty much the same, except that she's female, that much kinder, nicer, loving. There's no way I could expect even a single vote if I am in the final two with her.

So, would it be that bad if I found another way into the final two ... without Kim?

Hmmmmm ....

Alright. Let me think about this. In the next tribal council, Bobo will definitely be gone no matter who wins immunity. Unless Bobo himself wins immunity again. That's not likely, is it? Hmm ... Anyway ...

The final three.

If I win immunity, I'd have to vote Bart out. Final two is Myself and Kim.

If Kim wins immunity, she'd vote Bart out. Final two is Myself and Kim.

But ... If Bart wins immunity. Hmmm ...

Would he realize the fact that there's even less of a chance for him to win if he goes up against Kim? What's the chances he would vote her out, taking me into the final two? I'd say they are fairly decent. The only thing now is throwing that last immunity challenge without being too obvious, but then ... Kim could still win it. Although, if Kim wins it and takes me, there's that curse of whoever wins the last immunity never wins the game LOL. I can't count on that though. But, it won't put me in a bad position when I singlehandedly vote out Bart.

That's probably the thing to try and do. Figuring both of them would take me (ala the thoughts of Rich in S1, heh, but for different reasons), I could just step down off of the post (leave the chatroom), hmm, pretend that my computer froze. Perfect!

But then ... well, if Bobo wins the next immunity. Back to the final four.

We'd vote out Bart, right? Bart wouldn't go down that easily. He'd force the tie with the help of Bobo. Then who knows what'd happen.

Well ... If Bobo won the tiebreaker, he'd vote out Kim I think. No idea on that one though.

If Bart won, I think he would vote out Kim as well, as I am not as much of a threat in the final 2 as Kim is. Maybe I am though.

If Kim won, she'd take down Bart most likely.

If I won, I'd vote out Bart (I can't go against Kim out in the open like that). So, I'd need to throw that as well. Choose the number 1 or something, lol.

Alright ... so, if Kim wins ... then the final three is:

Michael / Kim / Bobo 

Wow. Lots of things that could happen. Maybe I should just stick with the plan I have now.

But wait ... why do that? If I know I am destined for second place, I might as well take this chance. I mean, sure, I could be the victim of the tie. I could be the one let go at the final three. But hey, if I'm gonna lose, I'm gonna lose.

If everything works in my favor, however, I'm gonna win.

So, I might as well take the chance.

We'll see how things go . . . . .

Bobo pauses to reflect on the events of the past couple days.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahhahahahaha… sniff and wiff!!!!

Kim doesn't know what's going to happen…

Well, the game has it's final four. Me, Mike, Bobo, and Bart. It was really hard to vote Blair out, because we all were planning to vote out Bobo. Blair was one of the members in our alliance that we made when Eric was voted out, and it was tough to see him go. Well, for the next vote, I just hope that Bobo doesn't win immunity again. I can tell that the Final 4 is going to be a hell of a ride. 3 people have to go, and 1 has to win, and I have no idea who that person is going to be yet.

Snowmail was delivered…

Expect the unexpected they say
Today is certainly that day
Know your fallen comrades? You need not!
Like the Amazing Race? This one is hot!
Do well in this one, you'll give it a "Yahoo!"
For this challenge is certainly not about "you"


CHALLENGE TUNDRA


"Greetings, Survivors. Bobo, I'll need to take that immunity necklace from you. Okay, immunity is back up for grabs! In today's challenge, you would assume that this is "Fallen Comrades." This assumption, of course, is wrong. Today, you will be in a lengthy race, with different checkpoints that you'll need to stop in. At these checkpoints, you'll need to do the task as well as sign your name to check in. You'll have to be quick, but you'll also have to know where you're going. This challenge is very important, obviously. The winner is guaranteed a 1:3 shot at a million dollars, and one of the other three will be going home tonight. You may start on my go."

"Immunity at stake! Survivors ready? GO!"


The challenge began in a flurry. Mike and Bobo were neck and neck, with Bart and Kim close behind. Bobo was quick at the tasks, but slower going from one task to another. Mike, on the other hand, was very quick to go from one task to another, but not as fast as Bobo at the tasks. Bart and Kim soon lagged, and eventually fell out of contention. It would be a race between Bobo and Mike. The two doggedly continued, but Mike gradually began to build a lead - a lead that he'd never give up. At the finish line, he triumphantly held the immunity idol, while Bobo looked at him with disgust. Bobo's fate appeared to be sealed.

                                                                                  
SURVIVOR SIBERIA TRIBAL COUNCIL THIRTEEN

Bobo: me vote for kim!!! Hahaha sniff and wiff kim!!!!!!! Hahahahaha

Mike: *sigh*

Well ....

I WON IMMUNITY!

WHOOOOOOOOO!

So ... tribal council is here. And what to do, what to do, what to do. Hmm ...

I vote for BOBO

Bobo, I'm sorry buddy, but you just came on WAY too strong there at the end. Pulling that challenge out of nowhere last time, wow. Nice strategy though, I should try it sometime. Next time you gotta make sure to actually win ALL of the challenges, not just one of 'em. Sorry 

But hey ... don't feel too bad. There's always those two magic words that we have all come to know and love SOOOOO much.

Sniff and Wiff, buddy. Just Sniff, and Wiff.

Seeya! 


Kim: I choose to vote out Bobo. Not a hard decision at all. I hate him and I'm glad he's out.

Bart: I am voting for Kim.

Bart had turned on Mike and Kim, as he had done to the others jurors so many times in the past. The tiebreaker would have to determine the tribal council. Bobo, Kim, and Bart were all at risk. The Survivors would have to draw a number. The person closest to the number would choose one person other than the immunity holder, Mike, to be voted out of the tribe. To be fair, the host asked an outside source to choose a number (Tom, from Survivor Malakula). Tom chose the number 23.

The Survivors all chose their numbers, but oddly enough, one person was right on the money…

Bobo had chosen the number 23, by fate, it seemed. Mike and Kim looked at each other, numb with shock. Bobo smiled, and said…

"I choose to boot Kim."

"Kim, you need to bring me your torch. Kim, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go." The host watched Kim pick up her bags and walk towards Loser Lounge, stunned.

"You may head back to camp."

                                                                                     
KIM'S FINAL WORDS

That was...just a great game. I wish the final 3 good luck. It's going to be a hell of a battle for that immunity. I really only have one regret- which is voting Blair out in the final 5. If Mike and I would have voted for Bart, then I could very well be in the final 2. And oh Bobo, Bobo, Bobo. The person I hated the most in the game! lol...I really understand why you voted me out. I would definately would have done the exact same thing in your shoes. Bart- Voting with Bobo to vote me out was probably a smart thing. You're a great player in this game, and I wish you good luck. Mike!-- You were my best friend in this game. I love you so much, and I'll be rooting for you to get into the final 2. And to all of the jury members--Make room for me! hehe. I loved this game, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the good memories. Over and out! This has been a presentation of Kim Preston! The end.

REDEEMA CAMP

Mike is shocked, but thinks that he has a clear chance against Bart or Bobo…

Kim is gone.

Kim is no longer in Survivor: Siberia.

. . . .

. . . .

. . . .

I'm stunned. I don't know what to say. I'd expect myself to be thinking horrible thoughts, and feeling sorry, and yet ... I'm not. It's weird, because for once, I feel as if I am on my own.

Bart's not with me anymore. No matter what he says to me, he cannot be trusted. Baikal was right. I should have trusted Bryan. I didn't, and that could be my demise.

But now I don't need to worry about a friend betraying me in the game. I can do whatever is needed to get to the final two now.

And the thing that is needed ... Immunity. I NEED it.

If Bobo gets it, surely I'm gone.

If Bart gets it, there's no telling what will happen. He says he will take me with him, but that would be stupid if he was playing the game for himself, and he's made it perfectly clear that he is.

If Bart goes against Me, I get all of Baikal's votes most likely, Kim's vote, maybe Eric's, probably Blair's.

If Bart goes against Bobo, he gets my vote, maybe Kim's, Definitely Eric's, possibly Blair's.

He has better chances going against Bobo. He knows that.

That's why I need immunity. I should feel confident that I can win it, but I know something will go wrong. My computer will freeze, yada, yada, SHIZZAM. And I'm gone.

I hate this. We should have kept Blair. Then none of this would have happened.

Even with Bryan on our side, he'd be more loyal than Bart.

Damn, I was so stupid. And it probably cost me the game.

@#%$.

I think I would definitely win against Bart, no question about it. Baikal hates him, and I'm from Olkhon, so I'd get almost everyone's vote.

Against Bobo, it'd be close. I think I'd win, but there's always Blair and Eric to screw things up. I think I would definitely have Kim and Bart's vote, though. I won't get any from Baikal, so its more risky against Bobo.

Well, let me tell you about Bart.

DON'T TRUST HIM.

Kim - It sucks that because of Bart, Kim is gone. However, reading what I just posted above, it is sort of her fault. Then again, I went along with it too. So, it's hard to say. I'm very sad to see Kim go, only because we've been the best of friends and the best of allies all throughout this game. Then again, I can't help but think that now I don't need to keep the promise I made to her to take her to the final two because its impossible. And you know what that means.

I actually have a chance at winning this game ...

The shortest yet most important snowmail of the game was posted…

Sit still, don't move
Immunity is a groove


CHALLENGE TUNDRA

"Welcome, guys. Tonight's game is simple. You will have to stand on an ice block. The last person standing on their ice block will win immunity. Take your positions."

"The most important immunity up for stake. Survivors ready? Go!"

The Survivors stood rigidly on their block. Bart was the first to step down. Bobo and Mike lasted much longer, but eventually, it was Bobo who would step down and hand Mike the final immunity of the game.

                                                                               
SURVIVOR SIBERIA TRIBAL COUNCIL FOURTEEN

Mike's vote:
Michael has won himself immunity.

Joy.

Bobo will be casting his vote for Bart.

Bart will be casting his vote for Bobo.

Who will Michael be casting his vote for?

Well now ... I will be in Survivor: Siberia's final two. After extremely hard work trying to get here, I have done it. Not exactly as I planned on originally doing it, but alas, I have indeed done it.

But before I step into that final two position and go up before the jury, I have a decision to make. Who do I want sitting next to me?

Well, that's easy. I want Kim sitting next to me. However, as many know, my plans of doing that were thwarted by Bart during the last tribal council, and so I must choose between Bart and Bobo.

Now then. My choice is obvious. Bart has been loyal to me all along, and then, SHIZZAM, he backstabs me. Of course I'm going to vote him out. I was warned by Baikal not to trust him, and I did. I trusted him so much I kept him longer than Blair. So, I'll just vote him out for his trickery. I made a promise to Bryan that I would not let Bart get into the final two, and of course I'm keeping my promise. Bart's gotta go. Bart ruined the entire game for Maria, she'd die if he got to the final two. I'm going to vote him out. If it weren't for Bart, Kim would be going up against myself in the final two, my best friend in this game, my closest ally. Bart NEEDS to go. He deserves no chance at winning this game. NONE.

And so ... I cast my sole vote for ... BOBO.

Yes. I am taking Bart with me to the final two.

I know! I know! I'm crazy!

So what?

Bobo, you gave us a scare near the endgame. We had it all planned out perfectly until you became active again (or, should I say, your strategy kicked in?). The reason I am removing you from play at this point in the game is because of how the final vote could possibly go. You see, while I made promises to certain people about what the final two would look like, I also need to think of my own needs and benefits, as well as promises I have made to myself. If I were to go against you, you would definitely have the support of the Baikal members in the jury. That gives you three votes. Just one more, and you'd win. I backstabbed Blair, not good for me. Bart's always a wildcard. Who the hell knows what Eric is thinking. Anything could happen to make them change their vote, making you come out on top. Knowing that because of Bart's .... difficulties ... in fitting in with the Baikal Alliance, that there could be the advantage I need to win this thing.

And so, Bobo, I am sorry to see you leave.

Actually, no, nevermind.

I don't care.

As a matter of fact, you can just ...



SNIFF
AND
WIFF




AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bobo, you need to bring me your torch. Bobo, the Mike has spoken. It's time for you to go.

                                                                                 
Bobo's Final Words
ah sniff and wiff

Bart's pleased about making the final two.

Wow! I have made it to the final 2. I would never had guessed I'd be here. Sadly, on my way here I have said mean things, lied, backstabbed, and looking back, I really don't know if I deserve this spot. Now that I am in the final two, I just want to reflect on all the faces that have left the game.

Bobo (Mike) - Bobo and I didn't really get along at the beginning of the game. And frankly, I wanted him gone REALLY bad. I didn't really like the way he played the game. If you ask me, I think he is a psychopath. I don't think it's right that he didn't do anything, and all of the sudden he popped out from the middle of nowhere.

Kim - Kim is a great person. Kim deserves to be in my spot, more than anyone. She played the game, and she played tough. She knew how to manipulate. When she wasn't playing the game, she was a sweet girl who I felt I could share a lot with. Voting for Kim was wrong, she gave me so much and I kicked her in the ass. I regret voting her out, but I pray she understands that this is a game, and strategy is key.

Blair - All I can say to Blair in this game is that he was horribly misused. Blair was picked on so many times. Personally, I didn't think Blair was a bad person. When I asked him if he was plotting against me he answered truthfully. I give him SO much respect for that.

Maria - In the beginning of the game, I thought Maria was the coolest & smartest player I had met. Sadly, as the game progressed we went our own ways. I regret that we had to create such a wall between us for the last few days. Maria deserves to be in the final two right now. She was a true player, and for all she did for me, I gave her nothing in return.

Bryan - Bryan was probably the biggest backstabber I've met in this game. However, he played that role amazing well. He sure as hell got me. I actually believed that he was my friend. During his last few days we got into a lot of fights, and well I really don't regret anything I said to him.

Cipher - Cipher, oh dear, how do I describe Cipher. Well Cipher had his ups and downs. He was a leader, he could manipulate people to do practically anything he wanted. I think his problem was that he was too harsh, and in the end I think that's what got him.

Eric - I think Eric is a fairly good guy. I mean yes, he has his annoying times, and he lies a heck of a lot. But, if you really get to know him he is one of the funniest people you can talk to. I think Eric just lost hope, and if he had tried to play the game a little harder he could have made it further.

James - I never even got the chance to talk to him. And frankly, from what I've heard, I'm not sure if I would enjoy talking to him.

Robert - Robert hated me. Well atleast he thought he did. Now that I've gotten the chance to actually speak to Robert he doesn't sound as bad as some had told me he was.

Noelle - I have heard nothing but GREAT things about Noelle. I'm actually disappointed I never got to meet her. Noelle, why did you have to be voted out!

Carl - I never really had the chance to talk to Carl. But judging by his picture, I'm not sure if I wanted to.

Bambi - Bambi was a sweetie. She was nice to everyone. However, her going away problems were not acceptable. I feel bad that I had to vote her, but it's a game and it had to be done.

Tonnya - I talked to Tonnya once during the whole game and I think she would have been a good player if she had decided to participate.

Vanessa - I feel so bad for Vanessa. Everyone picks on Vanessa, and I'll admit I'm guilty of it. But I think that it's cruel to pick on someone with a mental disability.

And lastly...The guy I am sitting with in the final 2.

Mike - Well it came down to the two Vermonters in the final two, that's one GIANT leap for Vermonters LOL. Anyway, I'm happy that I saved Mike from the first TC after the merge. However, Mike is an immunity whore LOL. Nah just kidding. He played the game amazing, and I think it is a pretty good guess to say that he'll probably walk away from this game with 1st place.


NEXT TIME, ON SURVIVOR...
