...news for Rodger, despite a heartwarming cliff's-edge performance in the Reward Challenge - don't worry, buddy, the Sundance Kid couldn't swim either - and Michael, who is catching fish and making breakfast but can't seem to get any love for it, 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...

...those scholars undertaking the sensitive task of looking into the events of 1915, the solemn declarations of foreign parliaments are anything but welcome. Halil Berktay, professor at Istanbul's Sabanci University describes the French Parliament as being "incredibly stupid" by simply fuelling intolerance on both sides.

...world, Ritchie is Madonna's new husband. But cinephiles know him as the creator of try-anything violent crime farces. A couple dozen hard guys plot stupid heists, shout droll obscenities and, for punctuation, kill people. Imagine the stateroom scene from A Night at the Opera, only everybody's packing. Comic congestion is Ritchie's game; he's like a Preston Sturges who's done time...
