It was interesting to see the anxiety the other celebrities felt over the last-minute addition of Jerri Manthey to the cast. They felt she was unworthy as she wasn’t an actor or musician. Corey mentioned that she wasn’t part of their scene, as if they have a secret society where they all live together and don’t frequent grocery stores with regular people (well, maybe Brande doesn’t, since she didn’t realize there was tax on food). But Jerri is arguably a bigger star at the moment than any of them, even if she is only a star for being a real person who allowed her life to be taped in an effort to win a million bucks. Now she comes in to the house with a special advantage, as the only one who has navigated a reality show before. Maybe that’s what makes them nervous?

Kelly Goldsmith did have a plan tonight, one that Jerri wasn't aware of. It was time for Kelly to cut loose the actress and vote her out. Jerri was going to go at tonight's Tribal Council.

As if to further underscore this point, Jerri claimed in the chat that her real personality did not come through in Survivor. So what is her real personality? Well, another person asked in that chat if Tina’s breasts were real or fake. Jerri, with her typical shrewish nature, said, “I really don’t care to comment on that.” And then, of course, she commented on it by saying, “I think it’s pretty evident what the answer to that question is.” Then she typed in that she was laughing. Ah, so “bitch” is indeed her real personality.

As for Manthey, she has told talk-show hosts that fans have been supportive, aside from a Web-fueled backlash. She's starring in Lady Macbeth Gets a Divorce at the Beverly Hills Playhouse through April 29. And Burnett sees "a huge future" for the budding thespian: "She'll get plenty of villain roles."
