Last week on Survivor: Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites (7 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2), Utahn Dawn Meehan sort of annoyed me. Through no fault of her own.When Malcolm Freberg talked to Dawn about strategy, Dawn went and blabbed to Phillip Sheppard, who was the target of that strategy. Dawn is in an alliance with Phillip, so she did the best thing for herself. And "Survivor" is, after all, a game.But it annoyed me because I've reached the point where I can't stand to see Phillip anymore. He's such a lying, pompous blowhard he's unbearable. This has been a good season of "Survivor," but if he's not gone pretty soon I'm going to have a tough time watching.I guess if Dawn had to put up with him 24 hours a day for weeks on end, I can deal with him an hour a week.Sigh.According to CBS, this is what we can expect in this week's episode: "One castaway learns a secret that will potentially change the game, and chaos ensues when confused castaways are undecided on whether to vote out an easy target or blindside a big threat,"Elsewhere on TV ...The Middle (7 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4): Frankie freezes up at a job interview.American Idol (7 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13): The remaining contestants perform.Suburgatory (7:30 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4): George asks Dallas to move in with him.Criminal Minds (8 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2): The folks in a small town open a time capsule and make a gruesome discovery.Modern Family (8 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4): Cam and Claire's flipped house is proving difficult to sell.Southland (8 and 10 p.m., TNT): Cooper and Lucero are kidnapped.How to Live With You Parents (For the Rest of Your Life) (8:31 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4): Polly hurts her back, leaving Max and Elaine to take care of Natalie.CSI (9 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2): A 6-year-old girl is the only witness to a triple murder.Nashville (9 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4): A crisis sends Rayna rushing back to Nashville, forcing her to miss a concert.The Americans (11 p.m., FX): Stan pursues a lead.Psych (11 p.m., USA): The gang attends a wedding and runs up against a crime boss.
