· ''Ghgoijqwefijhoin feojnfceiuediuncepo kekdjnoiecnoim cnoeidcoimcoiem coiemcbcicb.'' Now, I'm not 100 percent positive, but I'm pretty sure that's what Chicken was saying back at the Zhan Hu tribe. At least that's what it sounded like and what I wrote down. Even though I couldn't understand a single word this guy said, I'm actually sorry to see him go. He certainly seemed more interesting than the bossy Peih-Gee, and maybe even the Survivor Silicone Queen. When he yelled, ''Damn!'' upon learning he had been voted out (okay, that was the one word I did understand), watching Survivor Silicone Queen and Sherea (and yes, I had to look her name up seeing as how she did nothing in the entire episode except perform a little booty shaking) jump in shock was pretty priceless. I would love to interview Chicken this Friday on Survivor: Live (even though a translator would have to be present), but it won't be happening. Why? Because Survivor: Live is now officially dead. That's right, the plug has been pulled — at least for this season. I guess the folks at CBS.com realized no one wanted to look at my mug for an hour (even if the screen was prettied up considerably by Ms. Morasca). In any event, it was a blast while it lasted.

Before I go, I suppose I have to make my episode 1 prediction for a winner. See, this used to not be such a big deal, because I was always so ridiculously off base. But then for Cook Islands I called out Yul before the game even began. And then last season I picked Earl from the get-go. Luck? Most likely. But still, a streak is a streak, so now the pressure is on. I could go with former model Dave, who seems like Richard Hatch 2.0, but he may be too abrasive to make it to the very end. Poker player Jean-Robert fancies himself a master manipulator, but I'm not sold on his social skills. Which leaves me with Todd, the gay Mormon flight attendant. He seems like a sneaky bastard. My hesitation is if he is going to be able to step back and blend in, but for now, he's my choice to take home the million bucks. Don't screw me, Todd!
