KUCHA KUCHA: I'm not sure if you're following the Survivor reruns on OLN, but Wednesday's is a keeper for all fans of the show.

Let me get you up to speed -- we're almost midway through season two (Australia). On Tuesday, Michael Skupin tried to play all Locke with a pig and ended up becoming the first competitor ever to leave the show without a vote.

And so Wednesday's episode is The Merge. Among the pleasures of this episode, which I haven't seen since it first aired but I remember almost by heart, are a bad-ass immunity endurance challenge, much strategery by Colby and Jerri, a stoopid tribal council tiebreaker (later eliminated), the subtle pleasures of Nearly Silent Nick, and, of course, The Very Large Mouth Of Kimmi Kappenberg claims a victim.

Season two falls a little in our memories because of its unsatisfying ending, but there's still some good stuff in there.
