...Good night, sweet princess. Pulau Tiga is a meaner and definitely uglier place without...
Which was also the reaction of this viewer - and thousands of my compatriots who thought we were oh-so-smart - when Gervase Petersen was voted off the island. Affable, lazy Gervase. Handsome, child-out-of-wedlock-sirin' Gervase.

As the hotties showed off their abs and pierced nipples, ex-Navy SEAL Rudy Boesch, 72, groused about the kids who wouldn't accept military...
