Survivor Cook Islands: Parvati Gets Naked And Goes Home
Episode 14 Recap by Jenny Lane
December 15, 2006

Greetings and salutations all ye Survivor fans! I'm going to try my best to fill Professor Dan's shoes for the rest of the Cook Islands season. I've been a huge Survivor fan from the very beginning, and while this season hasn't been the most enthralling in my opinion, I do think it's finally getting interesting.
Previously on Survivor Cook Islands, Parvarti cut her hand while attacking a coconut. She still gave the challenge her all, especially because it was the family reward. She and her dad made a great team, and were able to win the reward challenge, injury and all. Parvarti's dad was able to spend some time with her, and Jonathan was sent back to Exile Island. Sundra and Adam, and their family members, joined Parvarti and her dad on the reward.
Back at camp, the remaining competitors made plans to quit feeding Adam and Parvarti, since the two haven't been contributing to the food gathering. They even went so far as to hide some coconuts! But when the reward winners returned to camp with food from the reward hidden in their bags, all was forgiven and the coconuts were unhidden.
At the immunity challenge, Ozzy had no trouble winning immunity. Jonathan took another beating at tribal council, and was (finally) voted out. He was clearly irritated with being ousted, and his parting words were "and I'd like my hat back at some point!" We're down to the final six…who will be voted out tonight!
Tonight's episode begins on day 34 at Camp Aitutonga. Adam and Parvarti are rejoicing in Jonathan's departure. They then strategize about how to break the alliance of the other four (Sundra, Yul, Ozzy and Becky).
A treemail arrives with the clue for the reward challenge. It reads "Again you will bust out your swimwear, shirts will not be allowed. It's not a shame to be dirty, today you better be proud. You could be eating and sleeping in splendor, while the others just get by. To earn a rejuvenation, here's mud in your eye." Adam and Parvarti say one of them needs to win, or else they're vulnerable to be the one chosen to go to Exile Island.
Jeff greets them at the challenge and says "it's time to get dirty!" It's one of those "gather things onto your body and then fill up a bucket with whatever you collect" type challenges. This time, everyone has to get past a few wooden hurdles, then go and roll around in a big mud pit. After they are covered by mud, each person goes back over the hurdles, to their bucket, and scrapes the mud off their bodies. The person with the most mud in their bucket after ten minutes wins the reward.
The reward is a luxury spa experience, complete with a massage, shower, food, alcohol and a bed to sleep in. The winner also chooses the person to go to Exile Island. To make things more interesting, the winner will be joined by two others, but not two people that the winner chooses. Instead, the second and third place finishers get to go on the reward. This means that only two people will be at camp for the night, and lots of strategizing is bound to happen at both locations.
After drawing for starting positions, the reward challenge begins. Ozzy is first of course, but everyone is pretty close. They can't carry mud in their hands, but they can get their hair full of it, which seems to help the girls. Yul figures out how to hunch over and pile his back up with mud, while Parvarti leans back and loads up her chest. Ozzy gets quite a bit of mud on the back of his neck and makes it back with what looks like a lot. Parvarti changes her strategy and piles a bunch on her head, apparently the chest tactic didn't work out like she thought it would (and no, I'm not criticizing her chest!).
The reward ends, and Jeff weighs the buckets. He picks Ozzy's bucket first, and it weighs 45 pounds. Parvarti's weighs 25 pounds, Adam's weighs 22 pounds and Sundra's is 20 pounds. Becky's weighs 20 pounds, so Yul has to beat Adam's 22 pounds to go on the reward. Yul beats Adam by one-half pound, so it will be Ozzy, Parvarti and Yul going on the reward. (Ozzy's strategy of carrying the mud on his neck was genius, he won by a huge amount.) This worked out well for Parvarti, because now she can try to convince Yul and Ozzy to keep her around for a while. Not so good for Adam though, because Ozzy chooses him to go to Exile Island.
At camp, a storm arrives for Becky and Sundra. They sit under the shelter and talk strategy, but I think their time could be better spent standing in the rain rinsing the mud off!! They talk about how unbeatable Ozzy is, and how much he hates to lose. (It took them this long to realize this?)
The reward winners get on a plane to head to the spa. The airplane seats are covered in plastic because they're still covered in mud. They arrive at the resort and are immediately offered a shower. (I always think these spa type rewards are funny because it's the first time in a long time that they've seen themselves in a mirror and they always look shocked!) After the showers, they get massages.
At Exile Island, Adam has miraculously.....
