...Within a few nights of the Ice Dream, Roy and H.G. had accused every country (except Australia, of course) of cheating, mercilessly mocked ice dancing and run a poll on Prince Albert of Monaco. (You choose: The monarch is a) an awesome spunk, b) a fully sick goose, c) a dork or d) a tight, up-his-own-date dickhead.) They were also receiving some 2,000 emails per day, pulling in an awesome audience share in Australia of more than 40% - although, admittedly the nation's population is the same as that of New York State...

...goes, so goes the ingenue. With her newly-shaven Outback daddy, Rodger looking grimly on ( both he and Richard should have kept their beards) the Ogakor alliance held together tighter than Colby to his mother and sent a softly unraveling Elisabeth out of the tribe. She took it with spunk, doing an emotional version of Alicia's I'm-too-strong sass over the credits: She knows Colby, Tina and Keith did it out or fear - cause everybody loves...

...country's Premier offered a different, though not especially satisfactory, explanation. After China's newspapers showed rare spunk in frankly addressing the explosion, Zhu outlined the tale of a deranged man who was said to have blown up the school. The official Xinhua news agency quickly backed him up with a report about a 33-year-old villager nicknamed Psycho who conveniently left behind a note reading: "I will sacrifice myself, blast all, burn all, kill scores of them, all is over." Suddenly, the race among Chinese journalists to cover a hot story became a rush to tow the party...

...possibly because of that stupid war paint. Keith and Tina are marked for passage, as is Jeff, who's young enough to pass but way too spiteful to have not made enemies by now. Maralyn, she of the tooth-removing "I'm ready," may actually have the spunk to last awhile, but the 30-and-under crowd (and I'm being charitable to Jerri, who is probably lying about her age, as the Aspiring Actress Code requires) will waste no time in weeding out anybody they couldn't have gone to high school with...
