Tonight's the night, for those who care. 8 pm EDT. Some 11 million watched the first show, 18 million the second, 23 million the third.

They're gonna have relay races for immunity, and there's a clash between a guy who wants to relax and a woman he can't stand because she chooses to go on chopping, sweating, and working. Oh, and building a bowling alley seems to be one obsession... Just another 60 minutes in paradise.

Think anyone at Fox has ever considered stranding Regis and Kathie Lee on an island with the cast of "Friends"?

I think there was a discussion of putting celebrities on an island and doing the same thing (Gov. Jesse Ventura was one person whose name came up?) but someone said their egos would not be able to handle it because as celebrities, they cannot stand rejection.

I understand. I know I wouldn't want to be the one caught casting the deciding vote to oust Jesse Ventura.

But as far as Regis and Kathie Lee and the rest go -- who said anything about bringing them back?

Applying advanced regression techniques, tonite's audience should be 27 million. (but only 50,000 will admit it)

Well, so far I think you got to be young, strong, and a guy.

The premise of the show entropy.

No one "survives" alone.

I vote for the guy who walked around talking into a coconut shell like it was a cell phone. It should get interesting around episode #7, where I think the producers are going to allow cannabalism.

In this morning's CBS news show, they trashed that guy with the coconut shell. They thought he was grandstanding for a show biz career. I thought he was nuts enough to survive this "Every Man Is An Island" series.

Next week's guest stars: Rick Rockwell and Darva Conger reunite for another fun-filled episode! (Both escape from the island before being turned into Rudy's zombie love slaves. Rated PG.)

BTW, I noticed that CBS is now taking applications for Survivor II: The Australian Outback, for those who'd rather be eaten by a wild dingo than by a shark.

I watched it for the 1st time last night,actually the only thing Iv'e seen in about 2mo's.It was somewhat entertaining but a little ridiculous.Maybe I'll apply for shits and giggles and see what happens,think they could use a Mcgyver kinda guy in the Outback?,though I would have much preferred the ocean and jungle.

The thought that came to my mind was having a TB2K survivor series,that would be a hoot.

I had that exact same thought. But then I realized that it wouldn't exactly be sporting to sign up anyone without their knowledge (not that I don't have a few names in mind)...

And another one bites the dust ...
