...well-dressed New Republic readers. The sweet-natured, churchgoing college interns at the Richard Gephardt campaign are far outnumbered by the brawny volunteer ironworkers. Joe Lieberman's nerdy, beleaguered staff, which is the best-liked in town, works out of the most squalid office. Dennis Kucinich's volunteers--smart misfits who live in a co-op and make decisions by consensus--oddly get along best with the John Edwards folks, who are preppy, racially diverse, good-looking Southern jocks.

Then again, a smarter man wouldn't have called his mom for sex advice...
...quite Survivor--hype aside, Manhattan can't out-jungle the jungle--but it's much more exciting than Burnett's take on the dining business in The Restaurant. The challenges, which make up the bulk of the episodes, are cleverly designed and guarantee dramatic sparks. Above all, it was smart to borrow the provocative battle-of-the-sexes motif from Survivor: Amazon, even if the casting questions Burnett and Trump's claim that the contestants were chosen (from 215,000 applicants) mainly for brains.
