Survivor returns right after the SuperBowl. what better time to glean ratings? This time they're in the Australian Outback.

"Whose Line is it, Anyway?" did a great "Survivor" spoof on TV last night.

Cool, I wish I had heard about this in advance so I could have set tivo to record it. Can you tell us what happened in the spoof, Autumn?

Three of the guys (you don't expect me to remember their names, do you?) pretended to be characters from Survivor, such as Rudy, Gervase and Richard. The other guy was the "announcer" who put them in situations (such as eating rat); at the end, they each came up to the camera and voted on who to kick off. One guy voted for himself! It was amusing.

Well, well, well. It's back. Did you watch episode one? We've already got a Susanlike lady voted off with a near unanimous vote. We have the testosterone twins, Michael and Keith. We have a night screamer who obsesses on masturbation. Wonder if he'll get voted off? We have a weakie, weakie software engineer, but he's cute, drooleurs. We've got the old guy with the bible who let's them use its pages in their futule attempts to start a fire. No one knows how to start a fire! They just couldn't do it. The raft race across the river to win the fire torch was cool. The losing team (were they green or blue?) had to vote one of it's own off. This is some beautiful Australian country. Move over Temptation Island, the big guy's back. Is the tall guy really a seven footer? Mitchell, the tall guy, may be too nice to stick around. Next week, it won't be riding on the Superbowl coat tails, it will be head to head against Friends.

Anyone see last night's Survivor? Mike got burned badly. He was at the campfire and inhaled smoked, passed out and fell in to the fire. Then he bolted up and in to the stream while everyone watched. No one came to help him for a long time until finally Eliszabeth went in after him. Then the medics came and took him back to civlization. He got hurt pretty bad. Now they're merging the two teams of five each into one. And Mike's departure elminated this weeks immunity challenge.

There's such an obvious contrast between the two tribes. Kucha is very much a team, while Ogakor are individuals. Kucha practiced running around with blindfolds in the day time whole the other tribe was yelling "Oh my God" and fantasizing about the food. Quite a contrast.

So now that the tribes have merged, I think that the 4 kuchas left will bite the dust and the 5 ogakors will then have to sort it out. Nick will bite the dust next, then Alicia, Elisabeth and the Rodger and we'll be down to Colby Jerri Keith Amber and Tina Who will bite the dust in that order. Unless the tribal unity breaks, in which case all hell will break loose.

Ding Dong! Jerri's gone! The remaining Ogakor broke with their plan to oust all the Kuchas and sent Jerri packing in last night's tribal council. High risk for the Ogakor's. She got her "dream date" with Texan Colby, but she daydreamed it away while clever Colby gathered sea shells for the rest of the survivors. She gave Tina an orange one for Tennessee, etc. My tivo missed her parting comments because I forgot to add the extra couple of minutes at the end, did anyone catch this? Only Amber and Jerri voted for Elisabeth, everyone else voted for Jerri. http://survivor.cbs.com/primetime/survivor2/survivors/jerri_h.html Elisabeth may not be too happy with Tina having told her why she just had to vote her out, that was cold. So now it's a three on three game with Amber as the wildcard. Amber may jump boat and go with Colby, Keith and Tina and pick of Roger, Nick and Elisabeth. That's how dangerous this unexpected move by Ogakor may turn out!

I mean "pick off Roger" not "pick of" of course.

Down to the final three, Tina, Keith and Colby. I guess only two more episodes.

Well, my prediction came true, Tina Wesson beat out Colby and Keith for the million dollar prize, It was on tv live last night and Jeff Probst flew in with the urn containing the votes in a helicopter and Bryant Gumbel did the postgame show. Tina looked a lot better skinny and emaciated! I think's going to get very fat! But she has some great ideas on how to spend the money in charitable ways, and she's a Tennessean to boot. I guess they're on the morning show on CBS today, I'm tivoing it, and on a live special next week, next Thursday night.
