Last Week: An idol was found, Hope was lost.

Each week Michael and Gordon will create separate Power Rankings. The ranking of the person who is voted out of the next episode will determine the number of points the two players will earn.

I spoke with Hope the morning after her elimination and had a chance to ask her about the Sherri/Shamar alliance, why she didn’t take the offer to flip, and why Reynold held on to his idol…

Last Week: Brandon was tempted to release his inner Russell, but he fortunately didn’t indulge, Phillip broadcast his alliance’s code names, which is info you probably shouldn’t divulge, and Reynold didn’t save Allie, even after Laura pointed out his bulge.

Last Week: Michael Skupin’s first attempt at the Power Rankings didn’t go well. But at least nobody got hurt. He had Allie in spot eight while I had her in spot nineteen. The current score is now Team Skupin 8, Team Holmes 19.

I had a chance to talk with the first fallen Fan the morning after her elimination and asked her about the Gota alliances, Shamar’s lack of effort around camp, and the cuddling controversy…

Last Week: Phillip put together his Stealth R Us Too, Malcolm gave everyone an X-rated view, Reynold and Allie shared an amorous rendezvous, while poor Francesca experienced some heartbreaking deja-vu…

“Survivor” legend Michael Skupin has accepted this season’s Power Rankings challenge! This fits perfectly with this season’s theme as Gordon is a huge “Survivor” fan and Michael is definitely one of his favorites.

I have come not to mourn Francesca Hogi’s unprecedented second first elimination from the game of “Survivor.” I have come to celebrate the fact that she was not content to coast as so many have done before.

Quick Note: We’re going to be bringing you all kinds of “Survivor” fun this season including episode recaps, exit interviews, and more. Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@gordonholmes) for up-to-the-minute news and info.
