Last night on Survivor: Samoa, 39 year old Laura Morett, the lobbyistenabler from Salem, Oregon, became the third member of the jury. Facinga deadlock and the possibility of picking rocks, rocket scientist JohnFincher switched his allegiance on the Tribal Council revote to sendhis long time ally packing.

What a great vote! Dave‘s face said it all. He could not imagine thatone of his four allies turned on Laura. After 26 days with John andBrett he thought they were solid, and he was sure Monica would nevervote out her best friend. The Foa Foa‘s ability to escape theirseemingly-inescapable demise week after week must have been unreal.Eric said, "There goes the lead." But really, there goes the ballgame.

I love a good underdog story. You know, the sort that does not see the protagonist endure loss after loss after loss, only to start winning after a melodramatic moment with a figure of inspiration, with poetic phrases and life-affirming moments in between. Get the balance right, and I‘ll definitely root for the underdog, rather than feel worse knowing that the supposed loser will win in the end. But that‘s just me and my ability to relate everything with myself.

Suddenly, there‘s no use predicting who does what on Survivor: Samoa--who plans what, who eliminates who, you get the drill. Since the merge, Galu found its influence crumbling, with two of their own eliminated, one after Natalie widened the purple crack, and the other after Russell played the immunity idol. Tonight, there‘s no telling what happens to who. Or is it the opposite?

Three weeks ago, it felt that everything on Survivor: Samoa was set. Foa Foa was lagging behind numbers-wise and influence-wise. Galu was more than confident that they have the game down pat, at least until it boils down to the final six or something.

Kelly Clarkson may be an American Idol, but Kelly Sharbaugh simply gotidoled.  On the last Survivor: Samoa the 25 year old San Diegohairstylist became the second member of the jury after Russell Hantzcaught her with the old Hidden Immunity Idol trick play.

Did you hear about the guy last week who accidentally ejected himselffrom a plane? He was trying to hold on to a lever during a turbulentmoment and then he was airborne. He had no idea what had happened.That‘s what happened to Kelly on last night‘s

When Survivor: Samoa began, like many other fans, I had an idea of who‘ll make an impact and who will be eliminated early on.  For some of you who saw my power rankings over the past few weeks, you would‘ve noticed that I always put Natalie on the bottom ranks.  Admittedly, I never really held her in high regard.

There was something spectacular with Survivor: Samoa last week.  Did you notice how the episode‘s entire mood changed when the blindside got underway, when names got tossed around, and when the vote finally came in, the editors decided to use different music just to highlight the shift?  I still feel chills thinking about it, yes.  But Erik‘s gone and it‘s another few days for the newly-merged Aiga tribe, where frontrunners get pushed to the back, and the most unlikely people get to jump the line.  In other words, I don‘t know what‘s happening now.
