Just stumbled across\* [this interview](http://realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-michelle-chase-talks-about-her-brief-survivor-gabon-stay-7793.php) with the ever charming Michelle. She seems to have learned and grown from her experiences on the island. \*-I was NOT searching for Michelle + “Survivor Gabon” + camel toe. Absolutely not ---

> [@want2know](#): > > First of all, welcome back, **rockle**! Last season wasn’t the same without you. > > The _Survivor_ medical team called on the first show–that has to be some kind of record, yes? Anyway, there’s no justice–Jonathan Penner gets taken out of last season with an injury, and a dick like Randy gets to stay? Someone needs to hit him in the head again–and _then_ feed him to the crocodiles! > > And you guys are right–Bob looks _just like_ Bill Nye! > > I don’t imagine the producers are going to let the wildlife get _too_ close to the contestants (or vice versa)–I mean there’s liability, and there’s _liability_. Especially with the increased frequency of elephant attacks lately–I’d be curious to know if the producers have the camps surrounded by fires or weapons of whatever. I think someone has a pet burmese python that they keep using for convenient “nature” scenes. I’m pretty dern sure that’s what they showed twice in this episode–ooh, big scary snake! …indigenous to areas a few THOUSAND miles away. Any herpetologists out there who can correct me? I swore one looked like a reticulated python (also from a few thousand miles away), but the markings and darkness made it hard to tell. You see it just before the second tribal council begins. ---
