For the first time in three episodes, there was at least a theoretical possibility that Utahn Jonas Otsuji could have been eliminated from "Survivor: One World."

But it was only theoretical. As things turned out, he was never in any danger of going home.

Episode 3 began just as the Episodes 1 and 2 had played out. The all-woman tribe was whiny and miserable. They had no tarp, no fire, no food and a lot of gall.

They wanted to come over and get under the men's tarp to get out of the rain. They wanted to warm themselves by the men's fire. They wanted the men to give them fire.

And the men, including Jonas, weren't too happy about that.

"The girls are beyond a mess," Jonas said. "They're like zombies. Shivering. And I'm, like, 'Let them tough it out.'"

After two weeks of utter futility in challenges for the women, things took a sudden turn, however. The reward challenge was a memory test, and the women slaughtered the men, winning 5-0.

Their reward was fishing equipment and a canoe. And, while the women wanted the men to share their fire and shelter, they didn't want to share their canoe in return.

Really.

Next up was the immunity challenge - a combination obstacle course-in-blindfolds and puzzle. The men had a huge lead, but Bill Posley couldn't solve the puzzle and his tribe lost.

And the maneuvering and back-stabbing began.

"It ain't 'Survivor' unless you're lying," said Troy Robertson, one of the truest statements in the show's history.

In the end, the guys voted out hunky lawyer Matt Quinlan. Which was pretty entertaining because Matt had been incredibly arrogant since the show began.

And if what CBS is telling us about next week's episode (Wednesday, March. 7, at 7 p.m. on Ch. 2) is true, it sounds very entertaining:

"An unforgivable betrayal forces one tribe to make a drastic move that has never been done before in 'Survivor' history, and an electrifying tribal council leaves several castaways speechless."
