-BRIAN WINS SURVIVOR: THAILAND! |
| It
was a Tribal Council like no other. Sparks flew
as the jury of seven grilled the final two, Brian
and Clay, with their questions. The jury asked questions
ranging from racism to honesty to loyalty. The two
remaining castaways went through the needle's eye,
barely answering all that was thrown at them. In
the end, Brian edged Clay out by just one vote,
making him the winner of Survivor: Thailand. He
receives 1 million dollars and a brand new car.

Jeff Probst
will host "Survivor:
Thailand - The Reunion," which will
be aired immediately after the show's two-hour season
finale. This is the first time that he will host
the reunion show. In the first three season's of
Survivor, Bryant Gumbel hosted the reunion. Meanwhile,
Rosie O' Donnell took over the job in the fourth
season. |
| According
to CBS' press release, "...Viewers will hear
their stories of what life was really like on the
rugged Thai island... and how their lives and relationships
may have changed as a result." The one-hour
live reunion show will take place in the CBS studios
in L.A. |

In
a recent radio interview, Survivor producer Mark
Burnett confirmed plans of staging an "All-Star
Survivor." But contrary to what
others are saying, the all-star season would probably
include previous Survivor contestants and not Hollywood
celebrities. He included that the fans could have
a chance to choose who they would like to appear
on the show by voting for their favorites. |
| Mark
Burnett also elaborated on some possible scenarios.
According to him, he could probably put two castaways
from each season to compete. Therefore, the all-star
season would probably be the show's ninth season. |

A recent article on The
National Enquirer talked
about Penny's recent wedding
to long-time boyfriend Matt Otwell. According to
the tabloid, Penny wanted her wedding to be perfect
so she made most of the arrangements before she
went on Survivor. Among Penny's guests were her
friends and fellow Survivors Erin, Jed and Clay.
Photos of the newlyweds showed Penny looking exquisite
in her wedding dress which, was said to have needed
some altering after she came back from the island
10 pounds lighter. |
 |
| The
article also included some spoiler-worthy information.
Quoting its opening sentence, "Gorgeous Penny
Ramsey didn't win the $1 million prize as a contestant
on Survivor: Thailand." Although, according
to the article, she did go far in the game saying
that "she lasted longer than many." The
fact also that she became close with Clay, which
is from the other tribe, indicates that she had
a lot of time to bond with him during the merge.
Now,
whether the information on the article is true,
we're not sure. After all, it is a tabloid.

| Three
contestants stand out to me as I mentally review Episode
2 of "Survivor Thailand." They are Jed Hildebrand,
Jan Gentry and Brian Heidik. Jed is darker than I imagined;
Jan is dimmer; and Brian is just downplayed. Whether it's
part of their strategies, part of Mark Burnett's editing
or a combination of both, it's clear to me these are three
to keep an eye on. Full Article
