'Survivor' cast can't beat Famie  
 
 
By Neal Rubin / The Detroit News  
 
   
Famie  
 Chef Paul Bocuse speaks no English, but food is a universal language. So, it turns out, is a practical joke.  
Bocuse, a 76-year-old Parisian, put the ooh in nouvelle cuisine. If he's not the most recognized and influential chef on Earth, he's number deux or trois. Mention his name to the kinds of people who read Bon Appetit and they dissolve into little puddles of vichyssoise.  
Imagine Keith Famie's delight, then, when Bocuse invited him and his camera crew into his kitchen. And picture his star-struck face when Bocuse actually involved Famie in the preparation of a dish.  
Famie was in France a few weeks ago, he says, filming one of his "Keith Famie's Adventures" shows for the Food Network. The series is his reward for living through six weeks of flood, famine and back-stabbing last year on "Survivor: The Australian Outback."  
He and his Detroit-based team will soon be off to Greece to film their 32nd show. The road trips have given him enough material for yet another cookbook -- his third since "Survivor"-- and the world of cuisine is treating him much better than it did when he was failing to make decent rice over an Australian campfire.  
So there he was with Bocuse making poached eggs in red wine, and as if to involve the awed Yank in the process, Bocuse handed him an egg to crack.  
Showing off a bit for the master, Famie gave it his best one-handed flourish -- and the egg stayed whole. He did it once more, again failing to impress the egg or Bocuse. And then he realized he'd been snookered: In a sort of haute cuisine version of a joy-buzzer handshake, Bocuse had given him a hard-boiled egg.  
Trust me. If you had Bon Appetit on your nightstand, you'd be coughing up truffles. But the overall point is that Famie, the most frequently insulted castaway in his troop, is laughing last.  
Colby Donaldson, the runner-up who continued to say un-nice things about the Detroiter for months after the show aired, is an aspiring actor in L.A., going to lots of auditions and getting no jobs.  
The shrewish Jerri Manthey, an unsuccessful actress before "Survivor," has continued on that career path. Her only visible role has been a pictorial in Playboy.  
She said she posed as "another means of my personal expression" and "to show my strength as a woman and to take a stand."  
In other words, she needed the money. Maybe she should have learned to cook.

I liked him too Gabby. I always thought he got a bad rap, and was misunderstood. He just tried too hard, and he was easily misled. Good for him, I'm glad he's doing well.
