By SANDRA DIAZ-TWINE
OK, so we are finally back on track. We all know that the last person voted off was Ethan, no thanks to Lex and his sidekicks, and last week's episode was just highlights of island life from our favorite all-stars.
EDITOR'S NOTE
As those who watched Sandra Diaz-Twine win the million on "Survivor: Pearl Islands" know, she isn't afraid to speak her mind. Here's what she had to say about last week's "Survivor All-Stars" episode, in which nice-guy Ethan -- the last remaining past winner -- got the boot. The next episode airs Thursday night at 8 on CBS/7.
See our photo gallery, double-check who's been booted off so far and more... all on our Survivor Page!
Now it's back to business. What can we expect this week? Well, first of all, there's some kind of a merge because the survivors have to take off their buffs, but I don't think it's the merge they desire. I think it's more or less that the two tribes will be evened out. Instead of six against four it will maybe be five to five. Amber mentions she gets screwed, so is it because she and Rob are no longer on the same tribe?
I'm sure we all laughed at the highlights seeing strong Colby having a chafing problem. I know exactly how that feels 'cause believe it or not even I encountered that problem, but on a smaller scale. Rupert was the worst off since he had those thick blue jeans! Been there, done that. And then there was Tom. How funny when no one could understand what in the heck he was saying, especially Rob. I'm almost sure Tom's speech is only hindered when he's been drinking. Didn't Sue call him a drunk? As far as the mock tribal council was concerned, I think Rob M. deserves an award for nailing Ethan to a "T." Rob C. can always have Jeff's job if Jeff were ever to become ill. Actually everyone involved did a good job getting into character.
Well, speaking of Amber, and listening to her confessional, it obviously didn't bother her that Jenna was lying on Rob. I would have been very upset, but she wants to distance herself a little from Rob, even though everyone on the Chapera tribe knows that these two are an item. But the Mogo Mogo tribe doesn't seem to know about this relationship and there are a few clues that they will somehow find out in tonight's episode.
So who will go home? Well I think Jerri and Alicia are the only disposable ones. I say Alicia because she's not part of the Tom, Rupert, Amber, Jenna and Rob alliance. I believe Lex will sacrifice Jerri in order to keep Kathy and Shii Ann happy. But if the tribes do merge, will one of these two ladies be voted off? If this doesn't happen I will be in total shock!
