Episode 7 Preview
It is my assumption, that this Episode 7 WILL infact be different, and there will be no merge. At least not a traditional merge. It is an Andyman prediction that the team will still be working as TRIBES, but be living in the same beach. Think about it? It�s the only way they could keep it interesting but simultaneously have them all know each other so they can properly serve on the nine-member jury. It�s either that, or I�m thinking Double-Immunity/Reward could be done where it�s a duo of people who win Immunity/Reward. Or maybe both? We�ll see next time on SURVIVOR!

Episode 6 Followup
Sook Jai: Ah yes, a debate over lies and unripened bananas ushers us into the glorious episode that is, Episode 6. Not since the classic Shelter-building-hand-showing fight between Robb and Shii Ann have we seen such �action� on Sook Jai. Robb was still involved in this escapade, but we have a new combatant in the red corner. It�s the under-the-radar NYPD officer we all love, KEN! Robb hears Ken is lying, Robb confronts blindly, Ken fights back, Robb curses, Ken curses, Robb stomps away in a childish fury, Robb comes back, Robb eats unripened bananas, Robb apologizes. That about sums up Sook Jai, but we�re not done with them�yet.
Chuay Gahn: We begin in Chewie with the conclusion to the dramatic loss of the boat seen in Episode 5. Clay, Ted, and Brian being the manly men they are, decide to swim what seems like an abnormally long distance to go try to find their boat. CBS taunts them as it shows a shot not too far from their location of where the boat REALLY is. It all ends with Clay statement that the boat is gone, and it�s gone for good. Oh well, Le Merge is upon us and it wont matter when you�re at another beach.
Later on, comes one of my most favorite moments in S5 thus far. Loveable Jan finds a dead baby bat fetus, names him Oliver, and gives him a proper Christian Burial. Even if she�s a little off center, I still have a very soft spot for this old woman like I haven�t had since Sonja graced the beaches of Pulua Tiga. GO JAN!
Challenges: The challenges this episode were less than average. Then again, most of the S5 challenges have been that way (Fish Sorting? Cmon). Our reward challenge involved catching balls with big wicker baskets on poles. It was mostly dominated by Robb. Helen deals with the loss by blaming it on the boys swimming out for their boat the day prior.
The Immunity challenge was only a tad better than the fish sorting of last week. There were 21 flags, you can take 1-3 flags, and the object is to have your flag be the last one. If you�re not familiar to the game, If you get to go first, there�s an easy way you can win for sure . Sook Jai had plenty of opportunities to win (including getting to go first), but lost under the leadership of my idol, Shii Ann. It�s my PERSONAL theory that Shii Ann lost this one on purpose (look at the motives). Oh well, more power to Chewy!
Tribal Council: The Tribal council was not horribly suspenseful, I think most of us knew what the outcome would be. However, It was �important� because I guess Robb learned some life experience quality blah blah mumbo jumbo everyone says after they lose the million. Ofcourse, that didn�t stop Robb from showing up to the Early show on Friday looking mightily sedated. 5-1, Goodbye Robb and goodbye chances of Sook Jai being dominant at the merge�or is there a merge?

Episode 4 Followup
Andy�s Perfect Final 4,3,2, and 1!
I�ve had numerous (1) persons come up asking me �Andy! Oh Andy! Who doooo you think will win Survivor 5!?! Tell me more!�. Well ma�friends, you�re in luck because I�m about to tell you!!! The PERFECT finals are��
4th: TED � Ted will fair very well in this game! He�s threatening, but can also seem very non-threatening simultaneously�so in that respect it�s safe to say Ted makes merge. Past merge, he�s got the social skills and grace to make it very far. He�s a nice, jolly, black man! And for that I give him credit.
3rd: JAN � Jan, if not picked off after the switch for being so loved will hopefully make it VERY far in this game!!! I absolutely love my Jan! And want more more more of her. I only hope she makes it to the final 3.
2nd: BRIAN � I love Brian! Brian�s got that cunning�.ness to be the Ultimate Survivor. I think he�s got the physical/social aspect down in Chuay Gahn now, and as long as the switch doesn�t hurt him too bad he�s almost guaranteed merge. PLUS: He�s a porn star. He could definitely win..but the sole winner will be�
1st: SHII ANN � I�m kind of betraying the website when I predict this but I think Shii Ann will HAVE to win! It�s about time someone who�s been edited a lot since the beginning wins. To hell with "Under the Radar"-ers! Let my Shii Devil take it all (And switch her to Chuay Gahn, Survivor Gods! Pleasssssssseeeeee!)

Episode 4 Followup
Well, this episode was as good as any other. It surely wasn�t the worst episode we�ve seen, but it wasn�t the best (The sex scandals of Episode 3 still reign supreme in that category). However, there were several very funny quotes that will surely go down in S5 history. The fact that, shortly after the �Erin-Transsexual� debate started, Erin�s only dialogue this episode was about gender/fitting in. (Honorable mention to the quotes by Helen on �swallowing� and Stephanie�s �stick it where you want it!�.)
The come-from-behind victory our beloved Chuay Gahn had earned last episode was all too anti-climactic as they lost both reward AND immunity. On Sook Jai, we had an array of foods that, for the dirty minds, could be severely funny (Squid and Bananas). On Chewy, it seemed that the final vote would be split based on gender. With that it�s confirmed that Helen in fact DOES have a penis.
Ghandia was voted out 4-2. You�d think we�d be happy�but in the end the reason anyone watches that show is for drama and backstabbing. Ghandia was great at both, and so we will miss her severely.
The next episode will hopefully be a switch. But from the looks of it, it will probably be a switch that is not random NOR team-chosen like the past 2 switches. This switch looks to be one where each individual castaway has SOME say in what happens. It should be interesting, but hopefully the Chuay Gahn Tribe will continue to endure past the switch�maybe with a couple of new members? We�ll see next time ma�friends�
