Ethan Zohn, the curly-haired soccer player who battled the elements and outwitted opponents to win Survivor: Africa, is facing his toughest adversary yet: cancer.

Self-proclaimed “dragon slayer” Ben “Coach” Wade was voted out, having been backstabbed by a member of his self-proclaimed “warrior alliance.” Before the vote, he said, “I’ve surrounded myself with strong players, and to this day it hasn’t backfired on me,” but it finally did. He went out on a highly ridiculous note, reciting a poem [...]
Middle-school principal Debbie was voted out because she decided to suddenly turn on her early ally, Coach, which made the others suspicious. “You gotta watch out for people like that,” J.T. said about Debbie after she approached him and Stephen, promising them that if she made it to the final three with them, she’d [...]
Sierra Reed received the majority of the Timbira tribe’s votes on day one, but since that vote was a producer trick, it wasn’t until day 30 that she finally went home.

Model Sydney was voted out of the diminishing Jalapao tribe, which now has just four members left. The men picked Sydney instead of Taj because of Taj’s relationship with Stephen and J.T., and because Taj has a connection in Timbira — her not-quite-totally-secret alliance with Brendan and Sierra — which will make Jalapao potentially stronger [...]

The tribe has spoken: Spencer was voted out of Jalapao because of his admittedly “pretty pathetic” performance during the immunity challenge, in which he said he “let my guys down.” Taj pointed out that the tribe had “no more expendable people,” so it was either Spencer or her who was going next.
