Ethan doesn't get fair play

In a word? Boring.
The plight of dominated women explored in one-woman performance
Mogo Mogo is falling apart, the challenges are recycled, meaningless and not a whole lot of fun to watch, it's raining more than ever, and fish are jumping into Chapera's collective lap. "Survivor: All-Stars?" More like "Survivors: So What."
This game needs a big, fat twist. And bad. And soon.
Mogo Mogo, the pathetic shell of a tribe with Lex as fearless leader, took out the last millionaire in Survivor: All-Stars.
Taking the hit was Ethan Zohn, Lex's alliance partner and good friend from Africa, where Lex came in third. It was Ethan or Jerri, and since Jerri is obnoxious and challenge-challenged, it made sense to Lex to keep her and boot his buddy. Ethan didn't agree, not surprisingly, arguing that he deserved to stay longer than Jerri. Remind us: Where did Ethan get the idea that fair play was part of this thing?
Ethan's ouster leaves Lex in charge of the ladies — Kathy, Shii-Ann and Jerri — and he's banking on a merge with the mighty Chapera, when challenges become individual and tribemates cease to matter. Signs indicate he may be right, but let's hope that something shakes up this lackluster affair.
Chapera is so strong that two of its prettiest members — "Boston" Rob and Amber — have become a couple in the real-world, romantic sense of the word. Chat rooms are already calling them Romber, and as Rob pointed out, it sure would be cool to take home the million AND get the girl.
