Utahn 'Survivor' is feeling confident for final episode

Utahn Todd Herzog survived the second-to-last episode of "Survivor: China" and he's got a one-in-four chance of winning one million dollars on Sunday's season finale (7 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2).

Going into the elimination vote, Herzog was confident but not overconfident. He was worried that rival Peih-Gee could outmaneuver him.

"If she somehow convinces those other girls to vote me off, I will be (ticked) off if I go home — like livid," said the 22-year-old from Pleasant Grove. "But big ups to them for figuring out a way to get rid of me."

Despite maneuvering by longtime ally Amanda, Herzog survived a 4-1 vote that eliminated Peih-Gee. Winning the $1 million could be tougher — you have to have fellow contestants vote for you, and Herzog seems to have angered several of them.

Sunday's finale features three votes — one will reduce the field to three; a second will reduce it to two; the final vote will decide who gets the $1 million.
