If you think Survivor's Brian has some stories to tell, be sure to read our Insider Q&A with The Apprentice's Kristi!
As if switching up the tribes wasn't enough, on last week's Survivor: Guatemala, Jeff Probst uncorked another twist: He declared it a double-elimination week and both tribes had to send a player packing. The Nakum tribe ejected Margaret Bobonich, hoping to stop the constant fighting between her and Judd, while the Yaxhas snuffed Brian Corridan's torch. Apparently the Yaxha crew thought the recent Columbia graduate — who not only had book smarts but was also a student of all the past Survivors — was the weakest link. TVGuide.com caught up with Brian while he was in New York, and after we giddily discussed the fact t

Question: I heard that Jeff Probst may be leaving Survivor. Is there any truth to that?
Answer: I cornered Mark Burnett earlier this month at TV Guide's full-size mag bash here in New York City and he basically told me that the rumors are true, adding, "I believe in my gut that he will move on [after the next edition]." He also half-nodded when I asked him whether Jeff's shoes would likely be filled by a former female Survivor contestant, so that rumor's apparently true as well. I, for one, hope they go with Deb Eaton. She was a real kick in the pants.

You know how last week NBC forced a Crossing Jordan-Las Vegas crossover episode on us? Too. Early. This week the show redeemed itself in my eyes. The Wedding Singer old lady made me laugh and scared me at the same time (it's those eyes). And that's after Monica had Danny shake what his mama gave him to get said old lady to vacate her house that was uglying up the Montecito grounds. Turns out she shot a mean old mobster 60 years earlier and buried him underneath her house. Trust me, this was funny.
Remember when I said Lara Flynn Boyle's character was obnoxious? Well, I still think so. But now I think she's good obnoxious. Monica got hers at the end, though, when Mike and Danny found her stuck in her hotel-room shower (that she designed!). Loved the two pals doing the whole Rock, Scissors, Paper bit to see who would save her nekkid self. Survivor alum Colby Donaldson popped in; he played one of Sam's whales that she had a ser

I finally started to remember everyone's names and which team they were on, and now they've done a big switcheroo. Did some smart producer have déjà vu about last season's Palau debacle with Stephenie and Bobby Jon and see the writing on the wall for the losing former Yaxha? After the New Nakum tribe's loss — which caused them to vote off Brooke — the tribes are tied with seven players each, so it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing Stephenie rowing the boat all by herself through a crocodile-infested lake any time soon. And her new pal, Judd, will probably keep her around, because he's happy to be free of the "male-tosterone" that his jocky former teammates exuded. Even if his new allegiance means that he sold out his old tribe. Jeff Probst warned him, "Every time you shift, you make it hard to trust [you]." Bu
