‘Survivor’ cast faces lightning-fast elimination

While I’m not usually a fan of the show “Survivor” (Thursdays, CBS), having been plagued with horrible images of previous casts eating rats and snakes for survival, I thought I’d give “Vanuatu” at least one shot to impress me.

As usual, the cast is gorgeous. Where do they find these people? On page 50 of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog? My favorite: Brady Finta.

Finta is a 33-year-old FBI agent from Huntington Beach, Calif. From what I have seen so far, I think he has a good chance of winning this whole thing. Plus, he’s dreamy and I wouldn’t mind seeing him banking on his popularity following the show.

“Survivor: Vanuatu” is wasting no time removing contestants this season, and the show is scheduled to have a double Tribal Council elimination in this week’s episode, tossing two players into the volcano. Might I suggest skipping the voting round completely and playing an execution game of “eenie, meenie, miney, mo”?

“Apprentice 2” (Thursdays, NBC; this week’s show airs on Wed-

nesday) could stand to learn a thing or two from “Survivor” when it comes to speeding up the process. The whole boardroom scene seemed to take forever last week, and in an unprecedented move in “Apprentice” history, Trump invited all of the ladies back to the boardroom when he found out that Stacie J. acted a bit out of sorts during the first team project.

Actually, as the ladies put it, she was acting crazy and they were scared for their lives

Trump didn’t want to take a chance with any loose cannons coming to work for his organization and that was enough of a reason for him to send Stacie J. home.

Considering the way the other women talked about Stacie J., you’d think that the taxi took her away from Trump Tower at the end of the episode and went directly to a sanitarium to get her some much needed “quiet time.” Tough break.
