(And I'm not alone - 6 percent of respondents to a USA poll picked Jerri to go again, suggesting that people much prefer to vote her off than actually see her go.) With Colby seemingly in charge, and two hungry, hungry Kuchas to go, we could be in for two more weeks of lean entertainment pickings...
