Here is the Final Tribal Council Transcript from Monday, September 6, 2004 at about 8:30 PM EST. Our final two Survivors -- American Pie and DrSteggy were present, as were our Jury -- Manda; stupidsurgeon27 [C-Bob, or Cindy]; weirdallie27 [Allie27` or Allison]; an dWeirdAlFanatic27 [PrincessBob27, or Natasha]. AlsGal27 [Gina] had computer problems, but was able to send her question to me directly.

<DocProbst> YAY!

<DrSteggy> speak of the devil

<TheMecca> hey CindyBob

<TheMecca> so now I'm completely shunned.

<DocProbst> Perfect timing.

<DocProbst> Well ...

<C-Bob> Yo yo. One of these days I'll bookmark a link to the WOWAY chat instead of searching for a link.

<gtrmu> good idea

<TheMecca> heh

<DocProbst> Mecca, you're still welcome as an observer

<gtrmu> ok, it is now 8

<DocProbst> Natasha, I hadn't heard from you by PM ... so I had offered your vote to him if you didn't arrive here

*** Allie27` [[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<C-Bob> Dreaming of Al again, right Natasha?

<TheMecca> I have to clean my stupid room.

<PrincessBob27> AIH...

<PrincessBob27> how I miss it

<DocProbst> Well, okay, we're waiting for AlsGal27 to sign in, then we're all set ...

<DocProbst> Did you see him last week, Natasha?

<PrincessBob27> nope

<PrincessBob27> last time was Oxnard

<DocProbst> Oh sorry ... I thought this was lingering recent AIH ...

<DocProbst> LOL

<C-Bob> Ah, but we suffer from AIH all year round, it just depends on how heavy the AIH is.

<DocProbst> Everyone have their questions ready, as we wait for AlsGal?

<Manda> Uh

<Allie27`> AlsGal is having trouble opening web pages.

<DocProbst> True, Cindy, true...

<Manda> um'

<DocProbst> Understood, Allison ... hopefully she can get in shortly ...

<DocProbst> Whussup, Manda?

<Manda> not much

<DocProbst> Well, you were umm-ing ...

<DocProbst> Anything I can help with?

<Manda> oh well I kind of don't have questions. :lookaround:

<DocProbst> Okay

<Allie27`> make some up

<Manda> ok

<Manda> So this is the last time I'm included in this game?

<DocProbst> Well, let's put it this way -- do you know which of our two finalists you will vote for to be the winner of Survivor 3?

<Manda> yes

* gtrmu makes popcorn and asks who wants some

<AP> brb

<DocProbst> This is the last time EVERYONE is included in this game, dear ...

<Manda> ok

<C-Bob> I looked at the previous Survivor jury questions for inspiration.

<DocProbst> Okay, then ... this TC is to help you choose ... if you already know, you can ask a silly Q or just wish them both luck ... your choice ...

<Manda> ok sorry

<Manda> I didn't really know.

<Manda> I'm slow at all of this

<DocProbst> YOu should still listen to the answers to the other Jury members' questions; they have been known to make some people change their minds ...

<DocProbst> Not a problme, dear...

<Allie27`> Not me....

<DocProbst> That's why I is da host ...

<gtrmu> and you da man too

<Manda> k

<DocProbst> Well ... I said SOME people ...

<DocProbst> Thanks gt!

<Manda> I feel stupid now

<Allie27`>

<gtrmu> n/p doc

<Allie27`> no need to feel stupid.

<DocProbst> No, don't, Manda!

<DocProbst> If you've never seen the show, how would you know?

<Manda> I wouldn't

<DocProbst> SO if you think of a Q, great. If not, just say whatever you want to say when it's your turn. And be sure to listen to EVERYONE else's questions.

<PrincessBob27> phew...I've never seen the show and I was freaking out a bit about how to ask the question..

<PrincessBob27> heheh

<DrSteggy> no need to freak its just a game

<Allie27`> heh

<C-Bob> Exactly. Just a game. *eats watermelon*

<DocProbst> Like I said, ask anything that will help you decide who of our two finalists you want to see win the game.

<DocProbst> Exactly!

<DrSteggy> ooo watermelon

<DrSteggy> good idea

<DocProbst> Any word from AlsGal27, Allison??

* gtrmu puts out doritos, popcorn, soda, potato chips and other munches for everyone

<DrSteggy> I think I see her on AIM

<PrincessBob27> ooh...

<Allie27`> she had to reboot.

* gtrmu and assorted adult magazines

<DrSteggy> is she Albuquerque?

<gtrmu> lol

* PrincessBob27 grabs some Cheetoes

<C-Bob> Oooo. Cheetos.

<DocProbst> Tell her if worse comes to worse, she can PM me her question. I'll still put up al the answers to all the questions on the Game Play Thread as always.

<Allie27`> She's trying to pm you, Doc-

<DocProbst> Ah

<Allie27`> but that's giving her problems too.

<DocProbst> In WOWAY?

<Allie27`> yea

<C-Bob> Poor her.

<DocProbst> Hmm ...

<Manda> Man!

<DrSteggy> do you AIM Doc?

<C-Bob> Technology is a good thing until it fails you.

<Manda> yes

<DocProbst> Can she send the Q to you, then you can send it to me, Allison??

<Allie27`> sure

<DocProbst> It's better than nothing.

<Allie27`> yea

*** AP [~[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<DocProbst> And tell her the whole transcript will be online, regardless. But keep trying to get in! I'll hold her Q for last,

<DocProbst> There's AP.

<DocProbst> You okay, man?

<AP> Yeah, had to get something to eat.

<DocProbst> NP

<Allie27`> doc- check your private window

<DocProbst> We're waiting on AlsGal27; Gina's having technical difficulties.

<DocProbst> Okay hang on

<DocProbst> In WOWAY, Allison? Cause there's no new message there .

<Allie27`> on mirc

<DocProbst> OH

<DocProbst> Gotcha

<DocProbst> Okay, I got her Q

<DocProbst> AP and Jackie, you both ready to go??

*** anth [~[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<DrSteggy> ready to roll!

<AP> Same here

<DocProbst> Hey anth! We're just about to start.

<anth> cool

<DocProbst> Jury, do you have your Q's ready??

<C-Bob> Yeppers.

<Allie27`> yes.

<DocProbst> Okay then, let's begin!!

*** Al_planey [~[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

* gtrmu plays the survivor theme music

<DocProbst> Welcome, Survivors and observers, to FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL for Weird Al Survivor 3!!

* DrSteggy cheers

*** Al_planey is now known as al_planey

<DocProbst> Tonight, our Jury will ask our two Final Survivors questions to help them decide which of them should be declared the winner of Survivor 3

<DocProbst> All of our Jury members are here, except AlsGal27 [Gina], who is still trying to get here.

<DocProbst> But since I have her question, we will begin now.

<DocProbst> Our first Juror to ask a question will be stupidsurgeon27 [CindyBob or C-Bob here].

<DocProbst> Go ahead, Cindy.

<DocProbst> Indicate if this is a question for a specific Survivor or for both of them!

<C-Bob> Both: What was your strategy for the entire Survivor game?

<DocProbst> Whoever wishes to answer first may do so.

<AP> To be used as a pawn and be taken how far as I could that way.

<DrSteggy> well, I came to the game to play to win--or at least go as far as I could...

<DrSteggy> since that is the nature of the game--to turn what opprtunities befall you to your advantage if you can

<DocProbst> Are you satisfied with the answers, Cindy ... or do you need more elaboration by our Survivors?

<C-Bob> I guess that's good enough.

*** al_planey is now known as al_planet

<DocProbst> Alright then.

<DocProbst> Next up, Allison [weirdallie27 or Allie27`]

* gtrmu chants "speech speech speech"

<Allie27`> To both: Did you ever backstab anyone during the game? If so, do you feel good about it? And "that's the nature of the game" is not going to be a satisfactory answer for me.

<DrSteggy> well that is a loaded question

<DrSteggy> in your eyes, Allie, I suppose I did. However--there were tiems during the game when you turned thigns to your advantage that didn't work so well for me

<DrSteggy> However, nothing I am going to say is going to change your mind--but that si my answer

<AP> Nope, the only promise to anyone I made was to you and Jackie to get to the final three and we did.

<DrSteggy> I don't feel that I did, and I don't feel anythign about it--I don't feel good or bad about it. Its just a game

<Allie27`> Everything's just a game to you.

<DrSteggy> whatever Allie

<DocProbst> Are you satisfied with the answers, Allison ... or do you need more elaboration by our Survivors?

<Allie27`> yea, you don't care. I know.

<DrSteggy> Just because you don't get what you want doesn't make me a bad person Allie

* gtrmu puts his referee shirt on

<Allie27`> No- that's certainly not what makes you a bad person.

<DrSteggy> do you need anymore?

<Allie27`> Other things do. You can shut up now.

<Manda> Whoa

<C-Bob> Um...yikes.

<DocProbst> Alright then

<AP> *whew*

<DocProbst> Let's move on

<Manda> yes

<DrSteggy> please

<DocProbst> Next up, Natasha [WeirdAlFanatic27, or PrincessBob27].

<Fintron> bye

<DocProbst> Did you have anything to ask, Natasha?

<PrincessBob27> Both: Well, I dont really have a question prepared, so I would like to say that I wish you both the best of luck. Oh, you wanted a question? ok, here it is: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

<DocProbst> Ah

<AP> A lot.

<DocProbst> O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-kay ...

<DrSteggy> a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could if a woodchuck would chuck wood

<DocProbst> Dare I ask?

<DocProbst> Are you satisfied with the answers, Natasha ... or do you need more elaboration by our Survivors?

<DocProbst> Is that silence a yes?

<PrincessBob27> I'm satisfied by the answers. and I dont really need any elaboration

<PrincessBob27>

<DocProbst> LOL ... fair enough ...

<DocProbst> Next up, Manda.

<Manda> ok

*** Impybat [[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<MeltMan> good job batty

<Manda> Both: Did you enjoy playing with your team mates?

<Impybat> thank yas melt

<DrSteggy> Yes

<AP> Yes

<DocProbst> Are you satisfied with the answers, Manda ... or do you need more elaboration by our Survivors?

<Manda> no that's cool

<DocProbst> Okay then

<DocProbst> Well, it seems ALsGal27 [Gina] wasn't able to get into the Chat Room in time for her to ask her question herself, so I will ask it for her:

<DocProbst> [and it's a mighty good one ....]

<DocProbst> "I want the Survivors to tell me in one sentence why they think the OTHER should win the game."

<DrSteggy> good question

<DrSteggy> give me a second

<DocProbst> Sure

<DrSteggy> I think that AP should win the game because he did play smartly--making alliances with the strong players, and held his own when he had too. He did what he had to to get as far as he could.

<DocProbst> Very good.

<DocProbst> AP?

<AP> DrSteggy should win because she won the most important challenges and did what she felt was needed to win.

*** BTD [[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<DocProbst> Okay, Allison is in contact with Gina, and is sending her your answers.

<BTD> Did I miss anything?

<DocProbst> Only almost everything, man ....

<BTD> Blast!

<DocProbst> Last question was just asked.

<pmanplus65> ya

<gtrmu> yea

<DocProbst> But it'll be on the Game Play thread shortly.

*** Driew [~[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<BTD> Good!

* BTD waves at Driew

* Driew waves back

<DrSteggy> hi Bruce, Driew

<Driew> how much have I missed again?

<BTD> Everything

<DocProbst> Almost all

<gtrmu> everything

<DocProbst> LOL

<pmanplus65> EVERYTHING

<C-Bob> Gee, people come to watch the last TC and come in to miss most of it.

<Driew> *sigh8

<Manda> I had a better question but oh well

<Driew> this is how my days been going. <_<

<BTD> anth said this is the most heated TC yet! I wanted to see why!

<DocProbst> Manda, go ahead and ask it if you like.

<pmanplus65> ya

<Manda> oh ok

<DrSteggy> wait for the transcript Bruce

<BTD> okay

<gtrmu> let's just say it's what someone asked

<Manda> Both: Do you regret voting someone off? And you don't have name people.

<pmanplus65>

<Manda> to*

<AP> Not at all, I always thought we voted off who was the strongest threat.

<DrSteggy> no I don't regret voting anyone off

<Manda> ok

<DocProbst> Are you satisfied with the answers, Manda ... or do you need more elaboration by our Survivors?

<Manda> No I'm good

<pmanplus65> is it time to vote

<DocProbst> Okay then. Jurors -- Cindy, Allison, Manda, and Natasha ... do you feel you know right now who you wish to vote for? Or do you need more time to think about it or research some things voefre making a final decision?

<C-Bob> I can vote now.

<Allie27`> Yes

FINAL HOST POST


Well, fellow WOWAYers, this will be my final official "Host Post" in "WEIRD AL" SURVIVOR 3. We have had a terrific season with lots of twists and turns, and I myself have had an absolute **BLAST** hosting!

Before I sign off for this third season, there are some people who deserve many thanks for making this game what it was:


Special Thanks to --

anthontherun for starting and maintaining the Official "Weird Al" Survivor Website

Orthography Enthusiast, spacedingo, iisryan27, scottidog, algonacchick, and Elvis for their help as judges for two of the Challenges

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles, for saving the Tribal Council Chat from certain oblivion in Challenge #4

Elvis and Genius In Maine for their ideas and help in creating some of the challenges for this game

Bruce_The_Duck (Jeremy) for reviewing some of the Challenges for me and most improtantly for creating and starting up this game here on the Forum and for doing such a bang-up job of hosting Survivor "Weird Al" Style: The First Season [and for coming up with some challenges that I ... *ahem* ... "borrowed" from for this run ...]

sarley27 (Eric) and anthontherun (Anth) for being terrific tag-team hosts of Survivor WAS: The Second Season -- and for OTHER great ideas for challenges that I also "borrowed" from ...

Driew_La_27, Kevbo, TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles, and anthontherun for taking on the daunting task of creating and hosting Survivor Season 4 [rotsa ruck, guys!!]

WHiZZi for starting and for maintaining the WOWAY Forum. Bart, you have made this Survivor game and this incredible community of Weird Al fans a reality, and we are always grateful to you for all your dedication here.

Marc Burnett, Jeff Probst, and all the myriad players and crew of CBS' "Survivor" Seasons 1 through 8 [soon to be 9!] for the inspiration for this game and much of its overall framework. You guys revolutionized game shows and television itself with this most exciting and unbelievable show.

Bermuda, Jim, Steve, and Ruben, for their incredibly important contributions to the music and mirth that we here have enjoyed over the many years and that was used to play this very game

and especially, our inspiration, "Weird Al" Yankovic for being the reason this game even exists here in this Forum. Thanks, Al, for all the laughs -- past, present, and future.

And finally, extra EXTRA special thanks goes to:

Driew_La_27 for being a spectacular co-host, for being a frequent Tribal Council Chat host, for reviewing Challenges, for hosting those cool Survivor mp3s for our Tribal Councils, for saving my butt on more than one occasion [saving chat transcripts, etc], and for helping me in so many countless ways during this game [You da man!!] :Y

Moderators, if someone would ... please leave this Game Play Thread open till the end of the week, so others can find the winner easily. Then we can merge this thread with the rest of the Game Play Thread, and finally lock the Game Play Thread. We can leave the Chit Chat Thread open till Survivor 4 starts. Once Survivor 4 is underway, we can relegate both of these threads to the Archives.

If anyone has any concerns or comments regarding the timing of putting these in the Archives, please state your case in the Survivor 3 Chit Chat Thread ASAP.

Thanks again to everyone for a great Season Three!!! :)
