CBS has revealed that Survivor: Cook Islands will end with a nine person jury voting to award the show's $1,000,000 grand prize to one of the competition's Final 3 castaways, a configuration that will mark the first time that a Survivor finale won't feature a jury of seven deciding which Final 2 castaway will win the competition.

Done in by the members of the alliance she had betrayed earlier in the game, Candice Woodcock, a 23-year-old pre-med student from Fayetteville, NC, became the thirteenth castaway voted out of Survivor: Cook Islands during Thursday night's broadcast of the CBS reality show.
Done in by both his own arrogance and an inability to envision the possibility that a castaway who had already betrayed his former tribe could betray his new alliance and rejoin with his former allies, Nathan Gonzalez, a 26-year-old retail salesperson from Los Angeles, CA, became the twelfth castaway voted out of Survivor: Cook Islands during Thursday night's broadcast of the CBS reality show.
Done in by a special dual booting twist that required the tribe that lost the Immunity Challenge tribe to vote off not one but two members of its tribe, Rebecca Borman, a 34-year-old make-up artist from Laurelton, NY, and Jenny Guzon-Bae, a 36-year-old real estate agent who currently resides in Lake Forest, IL, were voted out of Survivor: Cook Islands during Thursday night's broadcast of the CBS reality show.

Unable to convince her tribe's dominant alliance to turn on one of their own, Jessica Smith, a 27-year-old performance artist and rollergirl from Chico, CA, was voted off the island in Survivor Cook Islands' seventh episode.
Done in by a surprise twist in which there was no Immunity Challenge and both Survivor: Cook Islands tribes were instead forced to attend Tribal Council, Anh-Tuan "Cao Boi" Bui, a 42-year-old nail salon manager from Christianburg, VA, and Cristina Coria, a 35-year-old police officer from Los Angeles, CA, Ohio, were voted out of the game during last night's broadcast of the CBS reality show.
