I’m bereft, in mourning, without even a shred of hope – my girl Colleen felt the sting of the Tagi boot tonight on Survivor. Damn those video editors who had me breathing a sigh of relief that at last Dr. Stupid would be shown the door. So much for that “whoever wins the reward challenge is next to go” rule. Now all we’re left with is five of the most venal, horrible and/or stupid people we could possibly trot in front of a camera. Not that that doesn’t have a certain fascination all its own.

Think about this: who is more evil – the evil leaders or their eager followers?
