according to what I read at showbizblast.com, the real reason that Kel got voted off was because he was caught masterbating. They said ths info came from the New York Post! Anybody else hear this one?

Maybe the so-called beef jerky he was seen eating was really dried something else?

Maybe he wasn't eating beef jerky, he was jerking his beef?

He said he was looking for fish bait. Maybe he was going to use nightcrawler.

There isn't any article in the NY post that I saw that alludes to anything of the sort.

and I also think if Jerri saw him doing that--she would have wasted no words in relaying the fact

But CBS may not want to show her saying that.....if it happened, they would not allow that on 'family' programming, ya know?

"...But when the trap was sprung, the suspect wasn't eating-he was pleasuring himself. "He'll never do it again," laughed our source. "He's traumatized." "

Here's parts of an article in the Ottawa Citizen on Saturday Feb 3.

"Ousted Canadian Survivor Feels Bitter.

Contestant Kelly (Kel) Gleason still tastes the lingering bitterness of betrayal from his Ogakor tribemates.

Mr. Gleason was the victim of a broken alliance and a backstabbing plot to oust him.
Mr. Gleason didn't win the million dollars but did come home the wiser about what it meant to go from an ordinary working American to a character in a carefully scripted and formula-devised plot designed to create personality clashes, not teamwork.
He said 'They pick 16 unique individuals... that would make horrible roommates and what they want is pure, all-out war, a Jerry Springer, not bonding. You get an outback version of Jerry Springer. I would not do the show again, I wouldn't want to. They just looked at me as a threat, as a huge threat.'

Mr. Gleason said on Day 1 of the show he formed a union with a retired cop from Virginia, "Mad Dog" Maralyn, and Knoxville, Tennessee, nurse Tina, and by Day 2 he figured it was solidified.
'The reason they changed their mind is because Jerri told them I was going to vote off Maralyn and then I was going to get Tina,' Mr. Gleason explained.
Mr. Gleason said he and the conniving Jerri - an aspiring actress from Los Angeles - clashed from the first.
'The woman hated me, despised me from the moment we met. I couldn't say one word without getting her angry or upset. She wouldn't give me the time of day, I have no clue why - I'll never understand it.'
Mr. Gleason suggested what did him in was a web of lies and deceit concocted by Jerri. In the second episode of the show Jerri lead the rest of the Ogakor tribe into believing Mr. Gleason had a stick of beef jerky and had gone off alone to eat it.
Mr. Gleason said all you have to do is look at his attire in the episode - pants with no pockets - to know the story was an out and out fabrication. Later in the show, Tina secretly searched his knapsack looking for a secret stash of chow based on Jerri's accusations.
The false accusation - and the breach of privacy when his knapsack was searched - cut to the quick for the army officer who subscribes to the personal and military code of honour. 'I can't believe these people. They're just so cutthroat. Even if I won $1 million, my opinion would be the same. It's just a hyped up piece of pop culture.'

Friends of Mr. Gleason were disappointed and even a little angry at his ouster.
His friend Don McCain - who has known him since they were in Grade 1 - said Mr. Gleason would never do something like hoard food. "If he had anything it would be to his benefit to share it with the others.'
Mr. McCain said Mr. Gleason's tribemates probably figured hom for the best man there and since they're all competing for $1 million they realized they had to eliminate him.
Rachel MacNally, a friend who once dated Mr. Gleason, says his tribemates got him wrong. He would never be stupid enough to jeopardize his standing with the tribe and in his military survival training he would have learned how to deal with hunger.
Mr. Gleason's father said 'There isn't anything objective about this. It's very personal. It's all about deception and deceit. Kelly's not into deception and deceit; he's too nice a guy."

Sandy, now there is something I believe! It is obvious, he was a threat to win.

Too early in the game to eliminate a strong player. That happens after they merge. What a sourpuss. No one liked him and he has some responsibility in that.

I have missed all three of these shows. I kick myself in the butt once each week because I (or my kids) screwed up the recording of them. I work nights and look forward to watching my tapes.

I sure love being able to come here and read them.
