Survivor: Nicaragua
8/7c CBS
The 10 remaining castaways have endured a lot thus far on their quest to win $1 million.

Of course, the idea doesn't sit well with Mitchell, so it might be time for Cameron to come up with a stage name to protect her identity — and to keep Mitchell from finding out. Meanwhile, a faulty fire alarm at the Dunphys has Phil so worked up that it will probably detect the smoke coming out of his ears. — Joe Friedrich
