...This was a very helpful show for those rabid fans of the first "Survivor" out there who had unfortunately been traveling in Ghana since the Super Bowl, on top-secret government business.

Now it's the bickering, the cliques, the Colby-tugging and the Jerri watch. The former favorite has been marked for death by the dwindling Kucharians, and now it'll be a free-for-all among Elisabeth, Rodger and Nick to try and break up the enemy and save themselves...
