...long and grueling.” They start out innocently enough, as Kerr and his staff are fond of cracking a couple jokes to loosen up the team. But by the end of the session, the players are usually divided into two teams for an intrasquad scrimmage. In a twist he gleaned from his old professional coach in England, Kerr always makes sure “there’s a reward for the loser,” usually in the form of some strenuous physical punishment...
Though no one got voted off Kopple's island, reality gave the documentary--sorry, reality mini-series!--a twist straight out of a soap opera: the night that high-powered publicist and society figure Lizzie Grubman allegedly backed her SUV into a crowd at a nightclub, reportedly after angrily calling a doorman "white trash."

It occurred the very day that a senior U.S. diplomat, Assistant Secretary of State Christina Rocca, was in New Delhi trying to arm-twist some peace. After the attack on Parliament in December, India went to war footing, demanding that Pakistan crack down on its anti-India terrorists?almost all of them working to stir trouble in Kashmir?and demanded the extradition to India of 20 named terrorist suspects. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf ordered some militants arrested?many of whom have been subsequently released?and refused to extradite any of those...
