Rumor has it that there was a contestant named Monica Padilla on this season of Survivor – although it's not surprising if you didn't notice.
For whatever reason, the editors of Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance chose to hide her for much of the season, giving her hardly any airtime. When she finally did get some confessionals on Episode 5, she went home.
It was a surprising lack of character development for a smart contestant who could have been lethal. Before the season began, several of this season's contestants told People that they were afraid that Padilla would aggressively walk away with the game.

A new "Survivor" champ has been crowned and the winner is ... Mike Holloway! The Texas oil driller walked away with the million dollar check during the landmark 30th season of "Survivor: Worlds Apart," and after that finale, there was no doubt that the 38-year-old would take home the top prize. This season, the competitors were divided into tribes based on their social class: white collar, blue collar and no collar. Holloway was a member of the blue collar tribe, Escameca, ending up in the top three with Carolyn Rivera and Will Sims. He beat out his competition in all three challenges and got some help from an unexpected guest ... his mom! Congrats on being the Sole Survivor, Mike! Besides crowning a winner, host Jeff Probst also revealed the cast of season 31 of the hit series, which will feature fan-favorites from previous seasons of the show.

Shannon "Shambo" Waters turned her back on the Galu tribe and aligned herself with Foa Foa after the merge, but her alliance only got her to the final six. Thursday night, after Brett Clouser won individual immunity, Foa Foa turned on her and voted her out at Tribal Council. Now Et talks to the mullet-headed former Marine Sergeant to get her take on the game. Et: There have been a lot of shocking Tribal Council votes this season. Shambo Waters: It is like the craziest "Survivor" in the history of the game. Et: How surprised were you to hear your name? Shambo Waters: Did you not see the scene with Jaison [Robinson] stomping off as soon as I walked up? Et: I thought Russell tried to talk you out of that, so maybe you had changed your mind.

Love him or hate him, Russell Hantz has been one of the strongest players on Survivor: Samoa all season. Thanks to his aggressive tactics and knack for finding hidden immunity idols, the Texas millionaire seemed poised to coast through to the finale. Unfortunately for Russell, Monica Padilla's final day on the island was also her strongest. Monica not only threatened to sway the jury against Russell, she also put fear into his closest alliances and exited the game with a bang. But with six contestants and two episodes, will it be...

The second person eliminated on Survivor Samoa Thursday was Monica Padilla, and she was pretty much responsible bringing some entertainment to the somewhat dull two half-hour episodes. It was her last-ditch effort and confrontation with Russell that prompted him to freak out a little and put on the immunity necklace at Tribal Council.

"Survivor: Samoa" was down to its final eight -- Mick Trimming, Jaison Robinson, Russell Hantz, Natalie White, Shambo Waters, Dave Ball, Brett Clouser and Monica Padilla -- on Thursday night's episode, but now there are just six castaways left. In a surprise move, the Aiga tribe was subjected to two Tribal Councils instead of the usual one. First to go was Dave Ball, who talks to Et about what is really happening in Samoa. Et: It looked as if you were going home last week and Russell saved you. Did you think he would do it again? After all, he said you should be talking to him.

Dave's elimination was hardly a surprise, though the series tried to keep viewers guessing until the last minute. Dave was one of the last remaining members of the former Galu power core and the man of Shambo's dreams. (That's a bad thing.)...
