Prime Pick
CBS
Season after season, an old-time reality favorite manages to reinvent itself despite a chorus of naysayers announcing its demise. "Survivor: Micronesia -- Fans vs. Favorites" (8 p.m. EST on CBS, premiered last Thursday) features a ragtag assortment of longtime fans of the show and some of our favorite players from past seasons. Sadly Jonny Fairplay (aka Hippie Wrongstockings), who's always good for a wicked laugh, has already been booted off the island, thanks to a disappointing performance by his tribe of "Survivor" veterans. The star of this show so far, though, has to be "Survivor" fan Kathleen, aka "The Crazy Lady," who greeted Chet by saying, "OK, you're a homosexual!" and then blurted, "It doesn't mean, like, you wanna be a girl, right?" Welcome to Earth, strange alien friend!
