...tears, and once Colby won the old-style Aussie-jailbreak Immunity Challenge by not dropping his lock in the grass, we had to hope it was him. (Rodger, interestingly enough for a 12-year bank president, retained absolutely none of the facts Probst dealt out in the challenge's setup, and basically stumbled around in the night scratching his beard and looking, well, looking like he really deserves to be called Kentucky...

Formerly part of a Vermont utility, the company was sold to private investors in 1997.

The girls take this on board but seem a little disheartened that the slow, feminine sensuality they envisioned is giving way to flat-out canine thrust. This becomes the final take?because Nonzee has gotten what he wanted from the start...
