As Day 9 began, Robin Leach's departure left the camp in shock as the other celebs were sad to see him go first. Hardest hit by Robin's departure was Melissa Rivers and Tyson Beckford. Alana Stewart, however, seemed relieved by his ouster because she didn't want to be the first to go and because she felt he was too bossy. Alana then chose Stuttering John Melendez as the camp leader of the day, as she wanted the day to be relaxed and didn't want control-freak Tyson Beckford in charge. Meanwhile, back at his hotel, Robin Leach offered the dish on his life at camp with his fellow celebs, where he dissed some (e.g., Alana Stewart) while praising others (e.g., Melissa Rivers, Cris Judd). Back at camp, Alana Stewart tried unsuccessfully to fill Robin Leach's role as the camp cook with disastrous results. Host John Lehr then instructed the celebs that they had to choose among them who would participate in the next Bushtucker trial (as the audience no longer voted for the trials). A willin
