--------------------

Caller:  When Mookie found the Immunity Idol in Yau-Man's bag and you decided to out him at the TC, why did ya'll decide to go straight to Yau-Man?  Why didn't ya'll go to Cassandra and Stacy and say, "Hey, look, he's keeping this from ya'll."

Alex:  That might not have been a bad idea.  We thought Stacy and Cassandra were just going to go right back to camp and confront Yau-Man about it first.  We thought maybe if we could get Yau-Man to agree to something different first that might work better in our favor. 

DR:  It's weird because you don't know what they heard. 

Caller:   Alex, I give you a lot of credit for fighting right to the end.  It's great to see players play 110%.  If the circumstances were different and you were able to make it to the final three, what other two players would you have chosen to be in the final three with you?

Alex:  Good question.  If I could have handpicked people I think it would have been Stacy and Dreamz. 

JM:  I agree. 

Alex:  He's backstabbed so many people.  Whether or not he played the game well, he's a very physical guy but on a personal level, when you get stabbed in the back, it's going to be hard for people to vote for him, I think, at least any of the guys that were in my alliance.  Stacy, just for obvious reasons. 

JM:  I think Stacy might be on everybody's ideal final two or three. 

DR:  I wonder why.

JM:  Sometimes things that you know at camp the viewers can't read off the show.  You can tell when someone has a distaste for someone else.  They don't care if you are poor or rich or anything, they are not giving you a million dollars.

Alex:  I agree. 

DR:  Who from your season are you not giving a million dollars?

JM:  Christy.  I like her now so please don't send me angry mail. 

DR:  Alex, you also were once stirring up stuff about Boo.  We heard people talk about his chatter mouth.  How did you feel about Boo?  Were you just playing it up because they started it or was Boo starting to annoy you out there?

Alex:  Boo is a chatty guy but I think Boo is a good guy.  I've got nothing against Boo.  People were starting to badmouth him and what can I do?  I'm trying to survive.  In regular life I probably would have not jumped on that bandwagon. 

DR:  It came down to Boo and you in this Immunity Challenge.  We're going to run it one more time because it pains Jenna and Alex to watch it.

DR:  I love when you start digging the sand onto Yau-Man's court.  That was brilliant. 

Alex:  I just wanted to get the sand out of my lane.  I didn't care where it was going.  I wasn't aiming for Yau-Man.

DR:  How long were you digging?

Alex:  It seemed forever.  15 or 20 minutes, a half hour?  It felt like an eternity. 

DR:  Dreamz ripped right through that. 

Alex:  That's how this guy has been playing the game.  Do something crazy and it works. 

Caller:  How come you never called out Stacy and Boo for going against your original alliance?

Alex:  There was a lot of chaos when we got back.  I really didn't know where anyone stood.  I wasn't in a position to start yelling at people.  I was trying to work as many angles as I could.  Stacy was kind of a messy person to deal with and I knew that from before.  Boo was kind of unstable.  I did what I could with the situation at hand. 

Caller:  Alex, good game.  I have a question about the way you guys voted off Liliana.  Wouldn't it be better to join Liliana instead of Lisi and Stacy?  You and Edgardo speak the same language. Why did you choose Stacy over Liliana? 

Alex:  Liliana early on had been really tight with Rocky.  The fear was that once there was a merge she would flip over.  They were very vocal that they were very friendly and hung a lot so that's why I sort of went with Lisi and Stacy.  It was Stacy at first and then Boo.  Ed and I were tight from the beginning.  Ed brought in Lisi. 

DR:  Edgardo said that Stacy wanted to get rid of Liliana because she wanted to be the hottest chick on the island?

JM:  Is that serious?

Alex:  I think so.  Sad to say.  I feel like the Liliana vote, for whatever reason, was based on cattiness.  I don't know exactly what was going on between them or whether it was a camera time thing or who is the hottest girl on the island.  At that point no one's hot.  Come on, we all look and smell really bad.  I think it was just a real personality thing.  Ed might be onto something on that one.  

DR:  We're going to bring in our secret guest.  First,  I want to thank Alex.  Good to have you.

Alex:  Thanks. 

DR:  We want to check out a promo for next week then we'll come back and go through all our remaining six with our super secret guest. 

<video clip>

JM:  Our secret guest happened to win Survivor and was also on The All Stars even though he happened to be on a losing tribe.  Even though my season was hotter than his, we still welcome Ethan Zohn.

Ethan Zohn:  It's great to be here. 

DR:  We are going to go through the final six.  We're going to give our thoughts on them.  Start out with Boo.  My thoughts on Boo, I don't see him having any shot of winning this game.  He's trying to do a little strategizing. 

JM:  He reminds me of Jamie Newton, remember him?

Ethan:  I think he has one of the best beards in Survivor history. 

JM:  I don't have much feeling for him.  I don't feel like we've seen a lot of him.

Ethan:  He's coming alive now.  He just won both challenges.  You never know.

DR:  We love to see Boo hurt himself. 

JM:  The hammock thing was classic. 

DR:  Let's move on to Cassandra.  We thought maybe we saw a little life.  She made a smart move when she won the reward and she brought Dreamz with her.  She's at least thinking about doing some strategizing. 

JM:  I think she's now maybe starting to think about winning a little bit.  But maybe she needs to think a little bit more. 

Ethan:  I don't think she has what it takes to win.  But you do see her planning for the future by wanting to keep Dreamz in that alliance rather than Yau-Man wanting to bring someone else in, someone less threatening, someone easier to vote off.  So, she's planning for the future, planning for the jury.

DR:  I can see her very easily making the final three if someone brings her there but when it comes to votes...

Ethan:  I don't know how her personal relationships are with everyone else.  It doesn't seem like she's mingling too well. 

DR:  For someone who's a follower, there have been some negative comments that have come through here from Mookie and Edgardo and even Alex.  Let's move onto Jenna Morasca's pick, Dreamz. 

JM: I didn't say win it all, I said he's going to make it to the finals. 

Ethan:  There's something to be said for someone who really has no clue how to play the game.  It's all new for him, nothing makes sense.  He's trying to figure it out as he goes along. 

JM:  I think he desperately needs this money.  I think he's willing to do whatever it takes to get it and I like that. 

DR:  I think Dreamz as a character is great because of what Ethan said.  He's so clueless.  He's obviously never watched the game, he doesn't know what he's doing.  It's like a horror movie.  

JM:  It works. He's still in the game and he looks good with his shirt off.

DR:  People are going to want to bring him far with them.  We're going from Morasca's pick to my pick to win the whole thing, Earl. 

JM:  Ethan's an Earl fan, also. I love Earl, too, but he's clearly going to win the game. 

Ethan:  If he finds this immunity, he's got two extra clues.  Other people have got to be looking to vote him off, right here, right now. Everybody likes him on the jury. 

JM:  I think the only person that's going to give him a run for his money is Yau-Man. 

Ethan:  Yes, in terms of likeability.

DR:  That's his only competition.  He's not a challenge dominator by any means.  He's sort of a leader, a strategist. He's playing the social game.  He's the guy that's keeping everyone in line.

JM:  People love that.  They love to have someone to follow.

DR:  Let's talk about Ethan's choice to win this, Stacy. I could easily see her making the final three if people want to bring her there. 

JM:  Do think she's like a Becky?

DR:  People liked Becky, enough.  But people coming through have had very negative things about Stacy.

Ethan:  She's been rubbing people the wrong way.  Look at that one challenge where her name came up every single time.  "Who do you not want to have dinner with?"  They will bring her to the final three maybe but she won't win.

DR:  Is there anyone that Stacy could beat?

Ethan:  Dreamz, probably.

JM:  I don't know if she could beat Dreamz.

DR:  I don't think she could. 

JM:  Let's hope that maybe this is just the way that she's playing the game and she's not like this in real life.  It's something to be said for the negative feelings that people have towards her. 

DR:  I will say this about Stacy, I'm very excited to have her on Survivor Live.  I really want to get into a lot of these issues with Stacy. 

JM:  I think she's going to have a fun time defending herself.

DR:  Let's go to the man, when I say the man, I mean Yau-Man, who we all really love and respect.  He could get the votes. 

JM:  He could win this game.

Ethan:  Master strategist.  I like his thinking all the time.  He's playing for his future.  I respect that and I like the way he's playing the game. 

JM:  He's good at challenges.  He's very smart.  He thinks things through. He's very level headed. 

DR:  He's really the most complete player.  He's doing well in the challenges, well on strategy, well socially.  He handled that moment when Alex and Mookie confronted him and he turned it around against them.  That was brilliant.  

DR:  We want thank you guys for tuning in.  Back next Friday with Survivor Live.
