WHAT HAPPENED: In what may have been the most boring episode yet, Survivor producers passed up the usual reward challenge/immunity challenge pattern to feature one competition for immunity early in a show. Told that the challenge would test how long competitors could stay underwater with a bamboo snorkel, Gentry's Chuay Gahn chooses to bench the member that is a Navy-trained swim instructor -- Huh? -- but nevertheless wins immunity when car salesman Brian Heidik outlasts the entire Sook Jai tribe. Producers bore us with another 30 minutes of Sook Jai agonizing over their fourth straight Tribal Council vote, completing the humbling of a team that was once the most athletic, competitive and annoyingly confident of any Survivor group.

The 39-year-old walked onstage at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in a light blue chiffon kimono over jeans and black boots, looking like a child playing dress-up. A matching bow barrette held back one side of her hair.
