Well, "Survivor: All-Stars" came back last night for a little denoument action with an enjoyable "American Idol" twist. No, Ethan didn't flat-iron his hair, but we, the loyal audience, got to vote on which "All-Star" should win a million dollars. Unfortunately, I did not fulfill my civic duty, and therefore Kathy Vavrick O'Brien and Shii-Ann were deprived of two valuable votes. Alas. At least Shii-Ann got a car (an ample consolation prize after being chastized in Thailand for her "strange", non-Westernized chicken eating behaviors). Kathy didn't win anything, but I bet her friends in Burlington will make her a groovy vegan quiche, so it's all good.

The night started off nicely with a little shout out to Jerry who understandably walked out of the last reunion show when the 5,000 Big Tom lovers in MSG booed her into silence. Now, we know that Jerri can whine, but let the poor woman talk. Some of us have seen "The Surreal Life" and know that she's actually pretty funny and cool. Although, even I won't deny her a spot in the Reality Villain Hall of Fame.

Things seemed good for Jerri until Jeff Probst decided to channel "Mean Girls" and confront her about some gossip he had heard her say about him. With that dimpled smile we've grown to love, Jeff asked Jerri if she was mad at him, and intoned that she was a bitch if she said she was. Jerri handled it nicely, and actually so did Jeff, and I felt bad for thinking that Jeff may have been acting sort of like an immature 18 year old girl. Moments later, that regret was erased when Jeff Probst dropped a passive aggressive stinkbomb on the show when he proclaimed that he heard that some people were only showing up because they were contractually obligated to. With a testy glimmer in his eyes, he dared the people who didn't want to be there to leave because if they don't want to be there, we don't want them there either. Things seemed awkward - but the faux tribal Survivor music ushered in a freshly minted Probst dimpling, and all was good.

After this - or maybe it was before, forgive me for my timeline haziness - Jeff checked in on our tacky lovebirds, Rob and Amber - or Ramber (or Ambob). They marveled at how much attention they've been receiving - with Rob particularly amazed at the craziness of flying to Vegas and back again. Amber just seemed happy to be back in her 1980s outfits. There was some talk about the wedding being televised, and while it most certainly will be better than the Trista/Ryan schmaltzfest, I'm not going to be setting my Tivo for it.

The rest of the show was pretty routine. Probst whittled the contestants down to the four guys who had received the most votes. First up was Colby, and for about fifteen minutes, the show seemed to be the "Dear Colby, I love you. Love, Jeff Probst Show" with Jeff opining Mr. Donaldson first for being so popular, and then after the commercial break, for being so sexy (Colby won sexiest male Survivor). It's all good though. The two clearly have forged a friendship over the years, and Colby's a nice enough guy. Sorry - I can't be snarky all the time!
