Ella: It pains me to say it, but I don't see her doing that well. Especially since Carson's on her tribe, I think Deanne's reputation as "The Wicked Witch" will put too much of an early target on her back. Then again, she started on the bottom in Montserrat, so anything can happen. As for me, I heard through the grapevine that I was heavily considered, but no offer was made. If only Vanessa didn't win "Hero of the Season" I guess (giggles).

Joan: I was offered a spot as a Hero, but I had to turn it down because my husband's not in the best health right now. Doctor's scared he might have cancer and his next appointment with the cancer doctor was scheduled just after I would have had to leave. I was also pretty sick myself after Montserrat, so returning so soon probably wasn't wise for me anyway. I do hope that another opportunity comes by someday if my husband's health improves by then.
