I am – Hercules!!


First, some proof of Sugar's modeling career:

Some thoughts:

One episode tonight, the season finale Sunday, and six survivors left, including two with prior claims to fame.

If I’m doing my math right, we’ll be returning to having three finalists vying for votes in the finale.

Even though Crystal Cox won a gold medal in the women's 4x400m relay at the 2004 Summer Olympics, a number of her “Survivor” competitors, curiously, were able to beat her in footraces. Crazy!

If the MacGyver-like physics teacher Bob Crowley doesn’t win the immunity challenge tonight, it looks like he’ll be the latest contestant booted from NoBag. Which is a shame, because Bob deserves to win, if only for that incredibly convincing fake immunity idol he fashioned from rocks and twigs. Plus, the old codger won both the reward and immunity challenges last week.

The final six:

* Kenny Hoang, 22, pro gamer, Westminster, Calif.

* Sugar Kiper, 29, actress/model, Brooklyn, N.Y.

* Crystal Cox, 29, Olympic gold medalist, Durham, N.C.

* Matty Whitmore, 29, pro trainer, Pacific Palisades, Calif.

* Susie Smith, 47, hairdresser, Charles City, Iowa

* Bob Crowley, 58, physics teacher, Portland, Maine

“Survivor” remains one of the highest-rated shows in primetime despite the fact that most of the hottest girls this season were voted off early in the season. Let’s have another look at them, in anticipation of Sunday’s post-BNAT reunion show:

Kelly Czarnecki, 22, salesgirl, Buffalo Grove, Ill.

Michelle Chase, 24, production assistant, Los Angeles.
(Michelle provides the title of this post.)

Paloma Soto-Castillo, 24, student, Downey, Calif.

Jacque Berg, 25, medical sales, Santa Barbara, Calif.

Corinne Kaplan, 29, pharmaceutical sales, Los Angeles.
(Emmy-winner Jeff Probst says: “not likeable.”)

Jessica Kiper, 29, model, Brooklyn, N.Y.
