AP: Ulong Tribe Is Worst Ever for 'Survivor'

By The Associated Press

New York - Maybe they should change their name to Ulose. As of Thursday's episode, the Ulong tribe is the losingest tribe in "Survivor" history, having failed every immunity challenge on the Palau-set edition of the CBS reality show.

"I'm still kind of boggled by it," Ibrehem Rahman told The Associated Press Friday. "It might have been some sort of Palau ghost or something working against us. Who knows?"

Rahman, one of three remaining Ulong members, was the latest victim of the losing streak — and a voting flip-flop. Despite Rahman's hush-hush alliance with Bobby Jon Drinkard from the start of the show, both Drinkard and Stephenie LaGrossa cast their votes against him.

"I thought we were pretty tight," Rahman said of Drinkard. "I was surprised when I was the one that got my torch snuffed. I didn't really get a chance to ask him why there was a breakdown in communication."

In an interview with the AP at the beginning of the season, host Jeff Probst promised a "season of firsts." With only two tribe members left, Ulong may be the first "Survivor" tribe to become extinct.

Maybe they should just change their name to Ugone.
