Survivor: The Amazon – The Game is On, But What Was Deena On? Plus a Special Fan Letter

I'd like to close by passing on an email I received shortly after episode nine ended. I think the comments speak for themselves.

Dear Mr. Kellam,

I would like to comment on the going-on in "Survivor: Bedlam in Brazil," or whatever you call it. I will go down the list players one by one.

Deena is very much in control of the game, and tighter with Jenna than size 12 jeans on Anna Nicole Smith. I'd be surprised if she doesn't win it all. So far, Deena has flown under the radar, and will not be getting votes any time soon.

Alex is also in a good position to win the game. No one sees him as a threat, despite his winning the reward challenge. He has not received any votes this whole game, and I see no reason why what would change now.

Heidi is physically in better shape than she has ever been. The only injury she has suffered during her South American excursion is airsickness on the plane trip to Brazil. Her physical capability is matched only by her intelligence and maturity. She's so bright I'm surprised MENSA isn't beating a path to her door.

As for Matt, he is mentally at the top of his game. He is 10 times as sharp as the machete he keeps sharpening. He really didn't need immunity, because everyone likes and trusts him, and gets a warm feeling just from being around him.

Jenna's beauty is matched only by her humility. All the viewers love her, and she is an overwhelming choice to be "America's Sweetheart." Of course, she has no idea how beautiful she is. She has not rubbed anyone the wrong way since arriving in the jungle, and she has the maturity level of someone twice her age. She has also shown that she has compassion, reaching out to Christy from day one.

Rob, despite being one of the younger players, has the warmth and wisdom of someone much older. He is like Gabe from Marquesas; he's not really here to play the game, but to build a society among 16 strangers. He has befriended Matt out of the goodness of his heart, and has even talked Matt up to the others in the tribe. If it were not for Rob, Matt really would've needed that immunity win.

Butch is also in a key position to win the game. Everyone wants him in their alliance. It's his game to win; the others are just bystanders. Furthermore, he has suffered absolutely so physical injuries since arriving in Brazil. He's so respected, even the piranhas won't hurt him.

Finally, there's Christy. She has shown herself to be a master schemer and strategizer from day one, and is calling all the shots even if the others don't realize it. She is assured a final four spot, because she knows where everyone's head is, knows which button to push at the right time. Her vote for Alex was brilliant, because she obviously told Deena about it in advance, thus securing the district attorney's vote in final tribal council.

Thank for you reading this briefing. The next time you hear from me, I will be updating you on the status of Dave, Roger, Daniel, Ryan, Shawna, Janet, JoAnna, Jeanna, Greg, Bobby, Peter, Marcia, Jan, and Cindy.

Sincerely,

Iham Abig Fuul, Minister of Information for Iraq.
