What is the object of this game. Will people be voted out? How will a winner be determined. Kingfish and I missed the first 2 episodes and I am just trying to figure out how it will play out.

My understanding is that the public gets to vote them out and the last standing wins the money for his or her charity.

I remember them saying $500,000 for their favorite charity on the opening night.

When do we start to vote them out? And I think they keep saying one per night, right? How could it be one per night...theres only a few nights left and too many celebrities for it to be one per night?

That's right it makes more sense to do two per night because they start this Wednesday and they end next Thursday night and if we did 2 per night they would be down to 1 by then.

You vote to keep people really - the person with the least votes gets voted out. And they did say "over half a million" during a show this weekend.

Weren't there more people on this show at the beginning? I seem to remember Kathy Griffin jumping around in the jungle. Was that a different show?

Different show; Kathy won Celebrity Mole.

I thought I heard the host saying he would be there for the next nine nights, does that make sense? Nine nights, ten celebrities, that seems to work.. Maybe the two hour show is two nights??

Who is Tyson and Alana? I've never seen or heard of these people before this show. (I've only seen a couple of episodes).

Alana is Rod Stweart's exwife and Tyson is a model.

Froggiegirl, Tyson was among those who wanted to flex their muscles by walking off the show if their demands weren't met. His anger seemed to begin when some members of the group started to rethink this idea. That's why he got angry and insulting with Chris a few days ago. When they all went into the hut to talk to the producers, Tyson began to get a bit obnoxious with the female producer. He told her he either wanted to speak to his manager or his lawyer and kept asking her "Am I in jail?!" until Julie and Melissa got him to knock it off.

The next day when the producers asked him to tell them what that was all about, he refused to comment.

Basically his problem was that he was enjoying the power trip and the idea of bullying the producers and got angry when the others decided not to take it so far (IMO).

Here is Alana's bio:

One of Alana's best known projects was as co-host of The George and Alana Show, with ex-husband George Hamilton. Although she had never hosted a live talk show before, she amazed people with her sense of humor, warmth and poise. She later joined George as guest co-host on the new show, Lifetime, for Granada Sky Television in the United Kingdom. She has also served as replacement guest host on Woman to Woman, the daytime CBS show, and has hosted FYI for E! Entertainment.

Her acting experience includes numerous theatre and film roles. She starred in the world premiere of C-Cup, an original play by Doug Field set in Tyler, Texas, that explores the life of a married, 40-plus breast cancer survivor, at the Complex in Los Angeles; and in Who Wants Fame?, a two-character romantic comedy written and directed by Mark Rothman and performed at The Court Theatre, also in Los Angeles.

Her most recent film credits include American Intellectuals, Dangerous Company and Mom, Can I Keep Her?

Alana began her career by leaving her home state of Texas and heading to New York to become a Ford model. During this time, she traveled to Los Angeles for many television and commercial appearances, and on one of these trips met future husband George Hamilton. When their son, Ashley, was born, she allowed her career to lapse while becoming a full-time wife and mother. After she and Hamilton divorced, she revived her acting career, co-starring with Richard Harris in The Ravagers, and frequently appearing on such popular television series as The Love Boat, Fantasy Island and The Bionic Woman. She also starred in several stage productions at Chicago's famed Drury Lane Theatre.

In the late '70s Alana met and married Rod Stewart, with whom she had two children, Kimberly and Sean, and once again put her career on hold. When her marriage to Stewart ended, Alana returned to work again, guest-starring on such series and television movies as Small Sacrifices, Hart to Hart, The Fall Guy and Masquerade, and in the feature films Where the Boys Are and Swing Shift.

Here is Tyson's bio:

Tyson Beckford's arrival on the fashion scene coincided with the era that brought male models to the forefront of advertising, and it stifled the notion that "real men" and fashion did not exist on the same plane.

His modeling career took off when he appeared in the Fall 1994 Polo Sport campaign shot by Bruce Weber. He soon landed an exclusive contract with Ralph Lauren Apparel, which subsequently lasted five years. Tyson also spent three years as the spokesmodel for Polo Sport Fragrances, and in what became an unprecedented merger of talent, creativity and classically all-American style, the resulting campaigns heralded a new direction for the Ralph Lauren/Polo Sport brand and created an international following of Tyson Beckford fans.

Tyson has appeared on covers and in countless editorials for Arena, Details, GQ, Essence, The Face, L'Uomo Vogue, L'Uomo Mondo and The New York Times Magazine. In 1995 he was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People," and "Best Male Model" at the inaugural VH-1 Fashion and Music Awards. He was selected to model designs by the "Best Costume" nominees of the 1996 Academy Awards and, in May of the following year, received the "Outstanding Male Model of the Year" honor at the fashion industry's Michael Awards. People magazine also named him "Sexiest Male Model" in its 1997 "Sexiest Man Alive" issue, and he was again honored by VH-1 at its Fashion and Music Awards — this time as a nominee in the "Best Male Model" category.

Tyson starred in the music video for Toni Braxton's hit song, "Unbreak My Heart," and has guest-hosted on MTV, VH-1 and the E! Channel.

He actively takes part in charities such as "Race to Deliver," an event he has co-hosted for several consecutive years to help feed homebound people with AIDS.

Born in New York, Tyson lived in Jamaica until the age of seven and now makes his home in New Jersey. His future plans include acting in and directing films, as well as pursuing his interest in music.

Cris's Bio:

Cris Judd did not make his rise to stardom overnight. His dance career began after college — where he was a marketing major — when he went to work at Disney World in the character department. As he became more impassioned for dance and choreography, he began to book small dance-related jobs. His talent didn't go unnoticed, and soon thereafter he landed a dance contract working for Disney's Pleasure Island.

Cris' hard work paid off when he booked the 1995 MTV Video Awards with Michael Jackson, based solely on a word-of-mouth recommendation. He then toured with Michael on his Dangerous and HIStory world tours. After that, Cris' dance career exploded; he worked on concert tours, music videos, awards shows and films, working with such celebrities as Cher, Celine Dion, *NSYNC and Brian McKnight.

He broke into choreography when he was asked to choreograph several numbers for Jordan Knight in 2000, along with Eddie Garcia. Eddie and Cris became partners, and recently choreographed Jennifer Lopez's videos Ain't I Funny and I'm Real. They also worked with Perry Farrell on Jane's Addiction's 2001 Festival dates and with new MCA artist Yasmine. Other credits include the MTV Video Awards with Jennifer Lopez and her network TV concert special.

Also a talented pianist and songwriter, Cris wrote a song for Jennifer Lopez which appeared on the soundtrack for the feature film Enough. Currently he is working with a new artist, Angie Martinez, in all aspects of her career, from stage appearances to music video.

Cris's humble background began in Abilene, Texas, where he was born. With his father an enlisted non-commissioned officer in the Air Force, Cris saw the lights of many cities. He spent the majority of his childhood in Florida, where he went to school. He now lives in Los Angeles, where he continues to choreograph, write music and act.

Flame me if ya have to, but I don't think Cris or Tyson (or Nikki) should be considered celebrities. But everyone has their own opinion. Many of the others are "borderline" as well...

I really like this part of Tyson's bio. It's nice to see when celebrities are actively involved in charity work. I just may have to vote for him after all.

He actively takes part in charities such as "Race to Deliver," an event he has co-hosted for several consecutive years to help feed homebound people with AIDS.
