Survivor 10 Palau
brought us a real, professional model, in
the person of Bobby Jon Drinkard, who was
also one-third of Palau's Alabama
musketeers. Unfortunately their tribe
was outmatched from the start, and the
musketeers went down to defeat one after the
next after the next.
Yet in a Survivor first, Bobby Jon's ouster wasn't
determined by a vote, but rather by a
challenge at Tribal Council testing his
fire-building skills. It was a
challenge he lost badly ~ it wasn't even
close ~ and with a puff of smoke and a
cackle of smoldering embers, he was headed
home. Said show host Jeff Probst,
"Bobby Jon, the tribe definitely did not
speak tonight, nonetheless it's time
for you to go."
One thing we especially liked about Bobby Jon, was his
southern penchant for politeness. He
called men 'sir' and women 'ma'am', and
we're certain that he'd have tipped his
fedora to passersby ~ if only he'd had a
fedora, and if only there were any
passersby. It's hard to tell for
certain, but we suspect his name will come
quickly to the fore in any future
discussions of former Survivor heartthrobs.
