Week One:
The Barbra Streisand characters landed on the island with their one luxury item and with the enthusiasm that they would be the sole survivor, the most resourceful character of the silver screen.
They quickly formed alliances, pairing off into groups. Claudia and Doris went off into the jungle frantically searching for bananas or eggplant or anything that would satisfy their cravings. Esther and Hillary began experimenting with plant and juice extracts to keep their perms from growing out. Katie is bewildered and bothered by their quest, but not bewitched, She has the opposite problem and is out of luck since her one luxury item, an iron, doesn't work due to the lack of electricity on The Island. Katie found a kindred spirit in Henrietta who she exchanges pot roast recipes when Henrietta isn't riding motorcycles with Cheryl Gibbons. Cheryl and Daisy met on a cigarette break. Daisy is exhausted being a go between for Lowenstein and Rose Larkin who think they could be sisters. They seem to have a psychic connection that Daisy interrupts whenever she is in the area.

Before the vote began Katie stood up and fired the first blow against the accused. "Would you tell the tribunal what knowledge you have about the tragic voyage of the Bridgett Westerly? You advised your husband not to insure The Westerly! How did you know it would not return Lady Twenty-Four-Trees?", she said pointing at Melinda.
A dazed Tentrees looked into the camera defiant and somewhat in a trance and shouted, "My name is Melinda, Melinda Winifred Waine TENtrees and I am appalled and stunned at this outrageous inquisition. From the day we landed on this island you have been coiled like a cobra ready to strike, trying to make me crawl and cower and cringe and admit to your monstrous lies. But you shall not succeed. I will speak only the truth."
“Inquisition Lady Tentrees?, Morosky continued. "Our ship The Caroline sailed two days after The Westerly, ALSO never to return, insurance ALSO rejected by Pelham of London upon your advise. How did you know we would not return?
"I know nothing about our unfortunate vessel accept that it sailed.", Melinda stated.
Katie probed further, "Are you clairvoyant Lady Tentrees? Can you tell me if George W. Bush will win the presidency? Because if he does I'd rather stay here."
A frustrated Melinda said annoyed, “You have asked me that question again and again; I have answered that question again and again. I DO NOT KNOW. I DO NOT KNOW!!!!!!”
"Bitch", Katie countered.
After this nasty trial Melinda was “cast” off The Island. ~ No, this is NOT a dream Melinda. Third Island Strike...you're OUT!

The group found out about Dolly’s dishonest dealings with Margaret from Esther. Esther became an instant hero which probably saved her from The New York Alliance (if there is one) voting her off this week. Her fellow Californian Hillary was not as lucky. After the group happily sang “So Long Dearie and Goodbye Dolly” they “laced up the glove” and used their second vote to boot off Hillary in place of Esther. Hillary had two words for The New Yorkers and they weren’t Happy Birthday. Dolly put on her Sunday clothes and went back where she belonged! See Gossip Page 7 for details!
The cast told Rose to get a f---ing grip and sent her home to her mother. Lowenstein knew the time would come and was sent back to see what happened to Bernard's tape. See Gossip Page 10 for details.
