Silas Gaither was the unwitting victim of
the most surprising turn of events ever
seen on Survivor. Just when
it appeared that his alliances ruled, just
when the bookies in Vegas were making him
an even-money prospect to go the distance,
he was crushed by an unexpected twist of
the show's producers, and in the snuff of
a torch was gone in a unanimous Tribal
Council vote.
No one could have
expected a tribal reorganization in
mid-series, and when it occurred Silas was
caught like a deer in the headlights with
nowhere to turn, nowhere to run, and no
place to duck for cover. The same
smarmy schmooziness that had so endeared
him to gen-Xers Lindsey and Kim flopped in
his new tribe, for which he promptly
received passage on the next flight out of
Africa headed towards Santa Monica.
But shed no tears
for Silas Gaither ~ he's shooting to be a
star, and armed with the exposure from
TV's most popular reality series could be
on his way to achieving it.
