...recent Friday night, a glassy-eyed senior citizen treats the club to a warb-ling, sick-dog rendition of John Lennon's Imagine. Beside him a young blond girl wearing a ruffly white dress she might have worn to her prom smiles happily, her hands poised, ready to clap when her elderly companion finishes his song. At another table a man dressed in a white V-neck sweater and cream-colored golf pants is flanked by two big-boned Nordic women. In halting English, he regales them with tales of how much his hotel accommodations cost on a recent trip...

...Mark my words, the Cool Kids are taking over this game. Jerri, the camera-seeking missile who apparently gets it on with "rice is rice" Colby in Week Three, is getting more and more abrasive but is ruling this place with the hand of the high school prom queen that all the plain girls were scared of. She and Mitchell have the makings of an alliance, judging from the way they froze out Kel, and Keith or Tina will be their next victim as soon as the Kucha Tribe gets their act together and wins an immunity challenge...

...cheesy teenpix could cross the $100 million hurdle. Last summer's American Pie and The Blair Witch Project accelerated the no-star momentum. The town's easiest profits come from cheap movies with low aspirations and performers who look as if they'd just been kidnapped from the junior prom. Meanwhile, a platinum-card holder like Jim Carrey stumbles slightly with Me, Myself & Irene ($89 million) and pratfalls with Man on the Moon ($35 million). Last August, Bruce Willis rode a big winner in The Sixth Sense (nearly $300 million); in September he couldn't attract flies with Breakfast...

...Lieberman's faith has deepened over the years, he was Orthodox from birth, the eldest of three children raised in a devout household in Stamford, Conn., where his father owned a liquor store. In high school, he was so observant that although his classmates voted him king of the prom, he wasn't there to take his throne beside the queen that night--the prom was held on the Jewish Sabbath...
