I haven't been able to update the site lately. I'm currently in Louang Prabang, Lao on Holiday. I'll be gone until March 14, 2004. If you want to see what I'm up to, check out UnrealTravels.com. I should be posting pictures sometime later this week. When I find a faster internet connection.

A 'Survivor' First

CBS 2 Chicago: A 'Survivor' First

Jenna M. Quits The Game To Spend Time With Her Sick Mother

Feb 13, 2004 6:34 am US/Central
PEARL ISLANDS (CBS) The "Survivor: All-Stars" faced a series of both physical and emotional challenges on Thursday night's episode. Every contestant battled fierce clouds of biting bugs, Richard was victorious in a one-on-one showdown with a shark, and finally, Jenna M. made a tearful decision to leave the game to be at home with her cancer-stricken mother.

It was clear from the beginning that tension is building in the three tribes. Rupert and Ethan are stuck in a constant battle of the Alpha males in the Saboga tribe, each one looking to win the title of top tribe provider.

There's a small drama brewing in the Chapera camp as flirtation heats up between Amber and Rob M., while Jenna M.'s grief over her mother's illness had begun to take its toll on tribe morale in the Mogo Mogo camp.

The episode featured a slightly unorthodox reward challenge, where all three tribes stayed in their own camps working on a home improvement project. Saboga, Mogo Mogo and Chapera all found large "Home Depot" crates in their camps fully stocked with tools and left with instructions to build a functional, but creative shelter. And they got just 24 hours to complete the task before the tools were taken away.

Rupert took charge of Saboga's shelter – after a brief war of words with Jerri – choosing to dig down in the sand to build a sub-sea level log cabin. The choice didn't go over well with an outside contractor brought in to judge the tribe shelters.

With professional builder Rob M. on their team, Chapera fared better building a sturdy shelter with a swing and enclosed palm and bamboo area supported above the ground. They won the reward: a trunk with blankets, pillows and a second clue to unlocking their rice chest.

Mogo Mogo's tree-house shelter won second place, earning them a clue as well.

After all three tribes met for the planned immunity challenge, a tearful Jenna M. announced her decision to leave the game to be with her sick mother, eliminating the need for the challenge to take place. Though several tribe members noted her departure could have dramatic effects on the dynamics of the game, all understood her choice to be with family during a tough time.

Instead of waiting for a Tribal Council, host Jeff Probst called for a boat and Jenna M. left the island immediately.

The show ended with an postscript saying that Jenna M.'s mother lost her battle with cancer eight days after Jenna arrived home.

Jenna M. will be answering your questions Friday morning on The Early Show, beginning at 7 a.m. ET/PT.

`Survivor,' `Apprentice' duke it out

="`Survivor,' `Apprentice' duke it out

CBS chief, Trump feud moves to ratings warfare
By R.D. Heldenfels

Mark Burnett is competing against himself tonight.

Donald Trump probably loves it.

Burnett is producer of both CBS' Survivor: All-Stars and NBC's The Apprentice. And unless one network blinks at the last minute, the two shows will overlap, with Survivor from 8 to 9 p.m.and an expanded installment of The Apprentice from 8:42 to 9:59 p.m.

This will create a real quandary for many viewers, since both shows have drawn sizable followings. In last week's Nielsens, Survivor: All-Stars was the third-most-watched show -- and the most watched series -- thanks to the lead-in from the top-rated Super Bowl and second-ranked Super Bowl post-game show.

The Apprentice, meanwhile, has brought new vigor to NBC's Thursday lineup and was the eighth-most-watched show last week. It is taking a bite out of competing CSI and has almost as many viewers as Survivor: Pearl Islands drew earlier this season.

If I could only watch one show, it would be Survivor, which got off to a wickedly enjoyable start as series veterans competed against each other Sunday night.

The Apprentice is watchable but its competitions -- which will help pick someone to learn business tactics directly from the Donald -- have felt artificial. And it has appeared that some contestants are surviving not because of their business skills but their dramatic value on TV.

But that's just one viewer's opinion. And I don't have any of the personal hostility that Trump will bring to the ratings battle tonight.

See, the oddly coiffed mogul has an old grudge against CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves, fallout from the dealing for telecasts of the Miss Universe pageant, which Trump oversees. NBC picked up Miss Universe from CBS, but there remains argument over how eager CBS was to keep it.

So at an Apprentice press conference awhile back, Trump used a question about the competitive maneuvers between CBS and NBC as a reason to declare ``Les Moonves is the most overrated person in television.''

He went on to trash Moonves' business acumen. ``If Les Moonves was a contestant on (The Apprentice),he would have been fired by the third episode,'' Trump said.

``And, unlike most people, I like Les Moonves.''

Moonves was given a chance to reply to Trump at his own press conference three days later.

``I like Donald,'' he said. ``We've always had a cordial relationship. I really can't understand him (taking shots). But I'm going to take the high road and I'll just chalk up his behavior to having a very bad hair day.''

Asked again to comment on Trump, Moonves said ``I'm not going to get down there.''

Except he did, a little.

``If you had hair like mine,'' the dapper Moonves said, ``I could understand why he's jealous.''

He then turned on a bald NBC executive.

``I might say the same about Jeff Zucker, too,'' Moonves said.

Sounds as if these guys could star in a pretty good -- and nasty -- reality show.

Episode One: Transcript

This is the transcript taken from the Closed Caption function the night of the show. It is not perfect, but if you missed the show it might fill you in on what the Survivors talked about.

and cbs

>> Jeff: We returned to the waters of the pacific ocean off the coast of panama for the greatest survivor yet. To ensure top secrecy we have under full military escort the air space was shut down waters were cleared. Below me are three boats outside of each other. On boat six people the survive all stars, returning to play the ultimate game one more time. Each survivor has been given one canteen and very little information aside from their own tribe mates they have no idea who else is in the game. 401DC9D7.JPGThey don't even know there are three tribes. When they arrive at their respected beaches they'lld one machete to be shared by the tribe, that's it, no food, fire or help. It's the least amount of supplies ever given to a group of survivors. They say they're the best of the best. Well, it's time to prove it. Have they learned from the past or doomed to make the same mistakes again or will old relationships come back to help or haunt them? 39 days, 18 all-stars, one survivor. 401DCA18.JPG

We are professional grade. ( Theme song playing )

>> Jeff: These 18 all-stars divided into three tribes are about to begin the most competive survivor ever. The mogo mogo tribe wearing green consists of genre, winner of survivor amazon. Kathy, survivor maefshgsas. Richard hatch. Cole by survivor the australian outback. Lex, survivor africa and she and wang survivor thailand.

Robb survivor marquesas. Alicia survivor the australian outback. Sue hawk survivor born yof. And amber survivor australian outback. And tom buchanan survivor africa. 401DCAAD.JPG

>> My tribe is a very eclectic group and it will be really interesting to watch how this shakes out. I can't wait to start wheeling dealing and building shelters and winning challenges and vote people out.

>> You know, it's hard for me to realize I'm 48 with young ins but I'm here... this ain't a little boy's game but for the big boys. 401DCAC9.JPG

>> All-star survivor will be so cut throat it won't even be fun. Nobody trusts anybody, nobody. Nobody trusts anybody. Do you understand?

>> We have a machete any way.

>> We have a note.

>> All right, honey.

>> Ready?

>> Yes.

>> It's a map. 401DCADB.JPG

>> To the water and to the burnt log.

>> It's weird, because we know each other. You know who could be careful of who not to, who are friends, not friends. Like everybody knows if you push my buttons you may get me to cry and this could be my demise.

>> Which way is north? 401DCAF2.JPG

>> I think it is it. We need water.

>> Oh, no.

>> That looks like milk to me.

>> We have well water and it's highly contaminated you'll get diseases if you don't boil it.

>> We have no fire. It's just like they dropped you off, all right, go ahead. There is a cooking pot and machete, water source. What you would do? 401DCB1A.JPG

>> Our supplies here are extremely meg year, as all star survivors we don't have anything to build fire with so shelter is the primary concern.

>> What about this right here, you guys?

>> That's real solid.

>> We go all the way across.

>> The best way to do it...

>> The first thing we want to do if we want to be a team five minutes, they were six ideas how to do everything. 401DCB39.JPG

>> All six of us going to go to sleep at the same time?

>> Why don't we try and do it right from the beginning not trying to be a bitch you go it right, babe.

>> I'm definitely vulnerable the first one out because I'm the most outspoken.

>> What do you think?

>> Tom is worrying about the [No audio] Roof? I'm kay now. Let's grab that big one there and put it right here, rob. 401DCB54.JPG

>> Putting it over here now, moving to again? I didn't know I would be again on the buffoon tribe, but apparently I'm the brains behind this operation so I'll have to make it work somehow.

>> Saboga. It is a machete. A map.

>> Here and the water is there. First impression of the group I'm happy. We have the mom, the nice guy, mlt guy hot chick we'll all play the game and battle for the prize and it's amazing that all of the different styles of play will come together. 401DCB7C.JPG

>> Ready.

>> What does that look like?

>> I did this again because it's part of my being. It's not about the money for me but it's all about life experiences and whenever i kick the bucket one day, I'm going out with a casket full of life experiences.

>> Rupert? 401DCB95.JPG

>> How are you getting there just question thing through here?

>> I'm the new guy on the block all of these people know each other. Right now I'm just trying to stand back and let all of the egos decide what we do and I'll be the worker bee new strategy for a new game. 401DCBA8.JPG

>> Rupert, look at this.

>> Banana heaven.

>> We're in paradise.

>> We really are.

>> We have so many bananas but they're not quite ripe.

>> When we got on the boat and saw everybody i was ecstatic rupert and sxwlooifrjy are any two winners so easy to convince the others it vote off the two winners. 401DCBC5.JPG

>> That was a dead end trail, we're following whatever trail was by the banana tree.

>> I feel very vulnerable i got put on a team with a woman who doesn't like me. Tina is a huge concern of mine. She didn't like me in australia and I don't know if she likes me now but I'm going to try new stlat ji of mine and keep my damn mouth shut. Drn strategy of mine and keep my damn mouth shut. 401DCBE2.JPG

>> Nice.

>> We found out water source but can't drink it out of the well. There is potential brain parasites to put you in a coma so it's not something to be taken lightly.

>> No, you have to boil it, rudy five minutes we have to.

>> You know i drank bad water all over the world in vietnam and russia and it never bothered me. I drank dirtyer stuff than that. 401DCC07.JPG

>> I like this spot.

>> I like this spot for shelter.

>> This is my vote.

>> What do you think about this kathy for a house? Give me all of the reasons.

>> There is a little breeze but we'll put the fire closer to the water where there is more breeze because that's where we'll mostly be hanging out. 401DCC19.JPG

>> I don't see why not we have to keep the bugs away.

>> We'll bring building materials as far as bamboo.

>> I think I would be lying saying if there wasn't a day gone by i didn't think some day for a moment about survivor the game and about the possibility coming back one day.

>> We can use that tree and lay one in there and that will be the high side angle this way. Don't need it higher than that. 401DCC33.JPG

>> It's never been done before, gone back to play the game twice. It changes the game completely not from a physical standpoint but psychologically we know how fwad gets and how long the road is. It will be interesting to see who's up for that. Are you cool with this? 401DCC44.JPG

>> That's fine, yeah.

>> I can't believe we're here, such morons. We left everything we loved to come starve and have no water, no fire. Seriously, we have issues.

>> I know they're making...

>> I told you it would be...

>> It's the guys and the girls.

>> I knew it. 401DCC58.JPG

>> Yeah?

>> The girls are plotting, honey.

>> I hope you aren't plotting with them.

>> We didn't get into anything honestly.

>> People are a little paranoid and that's a good, good state to have them in. Suppose I ought to be as well, but... 401DCC69.JPG

>> The guys have got some scheme. I think colby and lex are... lex and richard...

>> I think they are. Really do.

>> There is a girl thing that got manifested so we talked about it and did we even think of doing a 360 to look around if anybody was listening. 401DCC7D.JPG

>> Let's talk about that since i was sitting in the woods listening to girl power.

>> Our lines a lins wasn't so good so with that we aired out all of our dirty laundry.

>> I told them what i heard about girl power and they think we have boy power going.

>> Let's just call a timeout...

>> I aG. 401DCC96.JPG

>> We have so much time to do that later let's win challenges and when we have to and get a shelter going.

>> I don't trust any of you sons of guns. I don't care man or wipl don't trust you.

>> Good.

>> We won't talk about this another... 401DCCA8.JPG

>> Definitely put this on the back burner for a while, can't we?

>> Survivor all stars is a different game and figurigout3 ow to play it. So I have to purn and probe and stir the pot a little. I'm just a big ass target, doesn't matter what i do, keep shaking things about a little bit. 401DCCBC.JPG

>> Richard, do you know where we can find a rock to start the fire with a knife?

>> Here do you think?

>> Are you naked?

>> Wouldn't that be shocking?

>> It would be. Yeah he's naked.

>> We'll be back.

>> This is off to an interesting start. 401DCDC1.JPG

>> Here you go.

>> Keep going.

>> Pull away.

>> Come on.

>> We have to be able t boil the water. The first tribe in this game that gets water and fire is a tribe going the fartherest.

>> This is burning hot.

>> I did it two days in borneo and i can't do fire. I have tried. 401DCDE8.JPG

>> There is that positive attitude we're looking for.

>> I killed myself three days probablely to start a fire. You guys just started.

>> Sue says, i can't do it, borneo, where the hell they went last time. This ain't last time and it's this time.

>> I am not going to let myself even get close to dehydration because it's hard to bring yourself back especially in this situation you have to drink it. I lived in canada six years and drank the water right out of the lakes no, filter system, nothing. The way i see it i have drank enough beaver poop in my life my 401DCE16.JPGbody can handle what might begoing in there.

>> Unk e water from the well?

>> Yeah.

>> Withoutilng it?

>> Rob i have probably drank worse water.

>> How much did you drink?

>> I drank four big coconut... i left the coconut shell through, like three quarters, I drank four of them. I wanted to drink more but I'm too fall. 401DCE31.JPG

>> That's a lot, sue.

>> My god. I don't know what sue is up to. If you get sick and you have to check out of this game, you're leaving five other people they're do the job of six.

>> She's going to drink it she'll drink. If

>> If it's going to kill her i don't want to leave her half dead because it will be a [No audio] Miss. 401DCE49.JPG

>> We'll have to clean it.

>> Like a corporation.

>> I've got smoke. I've got smoke, some smoke. Come on.

>> I can'T.

>> We're all dying. We need fire.

>> My she had ready to pop. We need to be able to boil water. We can be like just grab the water and drifrns it... drink it, but none of us want to die. 401DCE74.JPG

>> It's burning my fingers.

>> We're so close. We tried forever and nothing happened. We got a curl of smoke and we were like cavemen but that's not fire.

>> Work this and it causes friction a lot more than that way, you know. It you want to do is the right way, this is the way. 401DCE91.JPG

>> So that didn't work. O.

>> I mean unless god strikes a log around here with lightning we may never get fire in.

>> We need something right now to give us some hope.

>> Worried.

>> I'm glad I'm not alone.

>> You're not. I'm worried as hell. 401DCEA6.JPG

>> We have been given nothing and the realization of it has now hit home. No one will come in and save us. We have to save ourself.

>> You know what i think me and you tut think about an alliance.

>> You're a man of your word, too from what a know of you, i am, too.

>> Rudy looks at me and the first time he sees me, you know, tight eyed and hippie looked right through it and wanted to be my buddy. 401DCECB.JPG

>> The other two are good buddies...

>> I know.

>> We could be out of this thing in a hurry.

>> Yup.

>> I figured me and rupert ought to protect ourselves and form an alliance and that's what we did. He says i can depend on you and you can demend on me. That's all I have to hear. 401DCEE4.JPG

>> You and i will be...

>> Rudy is a man of few words but from what a gathered a man of honer. If he and i stick together and make it through the first few days we'll stick together through the end of the game.

>> I'm dying. I didn't sleep at all last night. Everyo seconds rolling over getting bit. Iot think i can do another night like that. I am beat red right now. 401DCF0E.JPG

>> I don't want to do another night like that.

>> Last night was by far the worst night i have spent in a survivor. I would have built a shelter differently I'm in kux and know what I'm doing.

>> Once we get fire we can make everything else happen. We have our shelter good, and i don't want to think about the shelter until we have fire. I don't care about it but we need to have fire to get water at this point. 401DCF2A.JPG

>> I'm more than willing to work on the fire issue butall aspects of our shelter should have been completed differently. These flat pieces are no good.

>> My back shoulders and arms touching the wood.

>> And sand.

>> There are six people without water. Two people are more concerned about the bottom of the shelter because they're not comfortable at night sleeping. 401DCF3F.JPG

>> There is not you one person understand you two haven't been able to sleep. Six people haven't had water is what I'm thinking.

>> Busting our ass trying to make fire since day one different. R...

>> You've giving up.

>> We're not giving up we're physically exhausted. I'm not yelling call it like it is. 401DCF54.JPG

>> I am, we just talked about it and we're calling it like it is.

>> I'm not going through another night without any sleep.

>> I'm leaping in the same thing you are.

>> We didn't sleep, though.

>> I never heard so much crap in my life. We have bitched about the weather, god didn't give us no water. Toughen up a little bit. 401DCF6C.JPG

>> Are you two happy with this?

>> Yeah because we don't want to do it again.

>> Really because i have had it with sleep and i want you guys to sleep.

>> What can i say about alicia she's a drama fact, you want the fact come to me and you get as it is. She's a drama queen. 401DCF80.JPG

>> Let's start this fire. Somebody hasto say something and can't do that, who made rob the master of the camp and amber his pocket girl?

>O you want to make an alliance and cover our own asses?

>> I don't know if i can take you seriously or not.

>> I'm being completely serious with you. Carrying logs right now and it has to end. Can't make it obvious. Do you want to? 401DCF9C.JPG

>> Yeah.

>> Amber and i have an alliance for obvious reasons. She's beautiful, obviously any idiot can see that. But I'll keep my word no matter what. I trust her and don't think that she'll screw me.

>> Switch up.

>> That thing is so hot. 401DCFC1.JPG

>> Do you want me to take snofr

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah all-stars,boy that's ai the kicker. I think we have in the last 24 hours to questioned at least half a dozen times why in the world we signed up for this.

>> Maybe there is something in there.

>> I'm running out of steam. 401DCFDF.JPG

>> Yeah i think could i start the fire without even blinking. But they don't need to know that. But I have no interest in trying. Look at how skinny they all are. They'll be dying in no time. I'm fine. I'm not even hungry. I'm playing that one by ear. They could think I'm cocky and arrogant and think could I last the whole game. Imagine that. 401DCFFE.JPG

>> Save yourself in case we have a challenge.

>> And I'm just busy so I'll get to you when I get a chance.

>> Richard is totally obnoxious going out of his way to not do work. I think richard wants to stand out and be special in our group. Part of his strategy to be a little shocking, like i don't really care what happens. 401DD01A.JPG

>> When we get to the fire... splitting these things and need more chopping then you can help.

>> Richard hatch was the very first person to win survivor ever and spend the the last couple, three years since he won survivor talking about how he is just the best the game has ever seen.

>> I love the fact that he's just... 401DD033.JPG

>> Lounging.

>> He was the king playing with a bunch of sheep. That was like shooting fish in barrels. This is a whole another thing altogether.

>> He's the prototype for all of us other survivors, so of course everyone wants him down. Everyone wants to dethrown the king.>> Are you doing this alone thing on purpose? 401DD048.JPG

>> Kind of.

>> I'm off by myself so people can see, all four of you can be talking together, four of you went out into the woods to talk together.

>> We weren't tacking about anything.

>> Maybe but i don't know. Have at it.

>> I think what fun would it be if the king left the first day. It wouldn't be any fun of. çeçeçeçewkÑbÑbÑbÑbçÑrç9hh 401DD19B.JPG

>> Tree mail. We just got our first tree mail today a little earlier than expected but i guess today is just as good as any day because we'll probably be wanting water tomorrow.

>> I have got some good news and bad news. The good news is i have got another pole for us so sleep on, this is the bad news. 401DD1B5.JPG

>> What's bad about that, that's good.

>> Do you want to read it as a group, sue dont do you warrant to come over?

>> Just speak up.

>> To and from each challenge fly your colors as you stride and in a show of unity, unity, your flag shows tribal pride. Three more days are guaranteed for those triumphant in the game. Bring your dive mask with you to face the man of flame. That must be richard hatch 401DD1D6.JPG

>> Got our first free mail and it seems to be an immunity challenge but we're hoping we can winsome fire because our tribe is hur reba.

>> It is killing me not knowing who else is here. Every freakin survivor could be here. I don't know and i can't wait to find out. 401DD1F5.JPG

>> Chapera, come on in. What's going on?

>> We want to ask you that question.

>> Seriously we want to know.

>> Do you want to see who you're playing against?

>> Moga moga come on in.

On my go you de down and release your raft from a mooring on the bottom of the ocean floor and then take the fire torches on your raft and use them to light a series of logs making your way back to the beach. When you get back to the beach light a third log drag your raft under a bamboo crawl first two tribes light and cross the finish lines with all six members both win immunity. 401DD29C.JPGNow for the immunity idol. Two pieces. Human being. Environment. Each piece grants immunity. First two tribes to cross the finish win a piece of the idol. If you hold part of the immunity I'd yl you cannot go to tribal council or voted out of the game. Are you ready to get this going? 401DD2B3.JPG

One of you six will be in the first all-star voted out. You have tonight and tomorrow to figure out who that will be. 401DD3EB.JPGYou can head back to camp. Chapera, because you crossed first you get the honor of lighting that up. O oÑ?ñóñóñóñóñó óçó ó ó ó ó ó ó óñóçÑ óçÑ ó ó ó

>> Nice job.

>> Very good job.

>> We won that played as a team.

>> Team. Have to stay as a team.

>> Never mind what's going on back here. We had to pull it together and got it done and we got it done. 401DD545.JPG

>> Let's go, chapera, good job.

>> We're the biggest bunch of misfit survivors to put together from 7 seasons and win it and no one expects to us get it done. We're the multiyund dogs.

>> Wasn't that the coolest?

>> The best.

>> We came in first place of the very first all-star challenge.

>> Immunity challenge. 401DD55B.JPG

>> Came back with a good attitude. We still have no fire.

>> It was horrible being the first group to tribal council, horrible. None of us came out here to be the first one voted off, but one of us will be the first one voted off.

>> Tonight I think it's important we take out the two winers first. I don't want to see them given another one. I would rather get rid of them at the beginning. 401DD58B.JPG

>> It's goig to feel good, because they don't know what it's like.

>> No, they don'T.

>> Are you with me, rupert?

>> I am.

>> I don't know rupert well enough to know if i can trust him. He could be playing a bigger game than I think. Everything is a game and take... 401DD5A1.JPG

>> You're a strong member of the tribe and alsoa winner, ethan.

>> It's also an advantage.

>> You have to be silly to not bring a winner.

>> I don't want you and tina around because you're one of the winners.

>> Nobody wants to award another winner, sorry it's our game, guys. Get the hell off our playing field. 401DD5BA.JPG

>> You would have a better chance tonight to vote... i think we need to stick together, because if we are the first two targets, we need to be trying to figure out for ourselves what can we do as targets to stay in the game. What to do, what to do? What's a mother to do? Hopefully we can pull rupe glert and kind of surprise everybody tonight. 401DD5D7.JPG

>>Tina and i would like to get you in on an alliance. You watched jenna and jerri. They don't play the way you play. I will give you my word. You saw me in africa. I played the same wait entire game. I hold it my promise and it's the way i work. 401DD5EC.JPG

>> I know and i like that.

>> Think long term. Think long term.

>> God i don't know what to do. Jenna and jerri on one side saying we have to get rid of the winners. I have tina and ethan on the other side saying you cannot trust jenna and jerri. I think i might have some control over rudy's vote because he and I are going to stick together. 401DD63A.JPG

>> Jeff: Ome to a very wet tribal council. It's a treehouse suspended in the middle of a junl jungle a bit of a climb not one you want to make often. Go ahead and grab a torch of fire, fire represents i know you know by now life on the island and definitely in this game. Once you have fire future back in its slot and have a seat. Well, it is the rainey season in panama, so this could be a sign of things to come for the next 36 days. How do the first three days out here compare to what you have been through in the past, jerri? 401DD66B.JPG

>> It's total hell.

>> Jeff: Rupert, you just barely got home. And you turn around to come out here and do it again. Sorry you made that decision?

>> You know there is a little piece of me that says why in the hell did I come back here. I got to think about my wife and my daughter. I did this for them. Maybe I can do better this time. 401DD688.JPG

>> Jeff: I'm noticing jerry is literally collecting water while we sit here and slurp ping it.

>> It's bad, jeff. You can live without food but cannot live without water and we are all feeling it right owd scary. It's really care scary.

>> Jeff: Are you trying to collect water in that?

>> Yeah it ends up ache spigot. 401DD6A1.JPG

>> Jeff: Rudy how did this tribe stack up between chapera and mogo mogo?

>> We have a good bunch of people. I'm 75 ain't what a used to be. Witch I was 23, but these guys are all good.

>> Jeff: Let's talk about liableies you mentioned yours, your 75 although better than most 50 year olds. Ethan what is a draw back for you, what will hurt glou this game? 401DD6BD.JPG

>> I think having won a game before may hurt me.

>> Jeff: Is one of the reasons being a winner hurts you is people respect the fact that you have won this game and therefore are dangerous?

>> Definitely. In addition to that a lot of it is pay back time. You won before and you had your shot. 401DD6D1.JPG

>> Jeff: Jenna can you find a scenario in your that he had can include a final two with a winner and nonwinner and you want to vote for the winner?

>> No.

>> Jeff: Really?

>> I wouldn'T.

>> Jeff: You have already decided?

>> Best player may not win from your point of view just based on irritation? 401DD6E2.JPG

>> Just based on a million dollars, it's easier for the winners to come back and say they're here for competition because they hae a bank account with one million.

>> Jeff: Is that fair?

>> Of course not but all of the winners came back knew that coming in. We all knew we would have big targets on our chest. 401DD6F6.JPG

>> Jeff: Rupert, does it matter to you if somebody has won this game before or not?

>> You know, i like to think i would vote for the best person out there.

>> Jeff: How about for you rudy?

>> If they can do it again let them go.

>> Look at my sports team in the league around the world, sometewin the championship every year of the world and should they be kedut because they won the championship that one year? No. 401DD710.JPG

>> Jeff: Okay, its time to vote. Ethan, you're up. Clear

>> Jenna, your mouth keeps going and going be careful because it might bite you in that big old butt of yours.

>> Jeff: Il go tally the votes. Once the votes are read the decision is final and the person voted out will be asked to left tribal council immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote, jenna. Jenna, two votes jenna. Tina. One vote tina. Tina. Two votes tina. 401DD780.JPGTwo votes jenna. Three votes tina. Two votes jenna. O first person voted out of survival all-star, tina, could you bring me your torch.

>> Jeff: Tina, your oo tribe has spoken.

>> Jeff: Because you do not get to have fire back at camp, you won't be taking your tofrpz back with you. They will stay here until you have made fire on your own. You guys can head back. Good night. 401DD8A3.JPG
