Last week Ami was dethroned.  This week, they stuck a fork in her.  She's
done.  Cooked through-and-through.  I will miss her.  She was the Queen of the
Black Widows.  Empress of the Snakes.  Ami was very good at this game, but
for one short-coming, she was too cocky!  I won't elaborate on the pun.  Her
smug attitude was just too much for the rest to handle.  It wasn't a cute form
of smugness, ala Richard Hatch's sheer nakedness.  Or Rob Mariano's punk-
ish smirk.  No, at times it was down-right vile. 

With her talents and skills, she could've won by playing The Game much cooler
as Brian did in Season 5.  He showed the right way to do it.  Brian had every-
one's confidence.  He was kind and compassionate, generous and gracious.
Especially just before he stuck a knife in your back.  But he did so politely and
with rational style.  Ami got carried away with her role as Queen of Vanuatu.  It
is no surprise that her number was up early.

So now that the Number One Player of the season is gone, all we have left are
the Second-Raters.  The 'B-Team'.  Chris is strategically the most likely now
to carry the ball.  Eliza has a good shot.  Julie and Twila are not far behind.  As
for Scout, what is she still doing here???  So it's a rush towards mediocrity as
we progress from 5, to 4, and so forth.  I hope there is no recap episode and
we just get this thing over with now.  The only thing that may make the last two
episodes interesting is for Chris to rally Eliza and Julie to break up the Scout
and Twila Show this next time.  They better, because time is running out.
