| PRESS RELEASE VEGAS ODDSMAKERS STUNNED AS BELLA OUSTS FAVORITE By N.O. Tail The Catsociated Press LAS VEGAS: Meows of astonishment were heard all across the Las Vegas Strip tonight as Episode 9 of Survivor: Isle of Man concluded with Bella choosing to vote off heavy favorite Fancy Feast Chopped Grill. A group of Burmese at Manxdalay Bay threw up their drinks in disgust. "I just lost millions!," said one. "I bet everything on that green can," said Peter Quayle Christian, a nearby Manx. Next door, at the Manxor, five Egyptian Maus and a Sphynx sat stunned. "I can't believe it," said Osama Laundry Bin. "I mean, Bella is famous for her love of Chopped Grill. Could there be some scheming and plotting by Safeway Chopped Grill? Was Bella just sick and did she make a mistake?" 'I think I'm going to go back to the Manxcalibur and chase some mice," said Nigel Barnsley-Finch, a British Shorthair. The audiences at the Bella-gio and the Treasured Island were no less surprised. "Bella and Chopped Grill - it's like Dean Martin and alcohol, like Elvis and peanut butter and banana sandwiches, like Marlon Brando and, well, about anything," remarked an unknown black-and-white cat at the Bella-gio bar. Over at the Treasured Island, even the pirates were stunned. "Arrrrgh!" they shouted, as several Abyssinians ran up and down Las Vegas Boulevard chanting "Fancy Feast forever, Safeway never" and "Chop, Chop, Chop that grill, if we don't do it, Bella will!" Oddsmakers now have Fancy Feast Fish and Shrimp as a 2-1 favorite, with Safeway Chopped Grill the longshot at 6-1.
