"Survivor": Carl Quizzed Out of Kenya
Carl Bilancione, the wealthy, 46-year-old dentist from Winter Springs, Florida, was on the wrong side of his forties on Survivor: Africa Thursday. And his aversion to bead necklaces didn't help matters either, as he became the first member of the Samburu Tribe to get booted from Kenya.
Bilancione also becomes only the second Survivor contestant in history to get axed for reasons other then tribal voting. The Samburus were deadlocked 4-4, with the AARP-friendly cluster (Frank, Carl, Linda, Teresa) voting for bead girl Lindsey Richter and the fresh faces (Silas, Lindsey, Brandon, Kim) choosing Bilancione.

"Great guy, doesn't need the money," sniffed Lindsey.
With past ties, the loser was chosen based on the number of past votes received. But since this was Samburu's first trip to Tribal Council, producers had to resort to sudden death. After several ties, host Jeff Probst jumped in with a tie-breaking trivia challenge, based on a survival guide the tribe members had been given.
A series of brain-benders later, Carl got bitten by a tick question--and his elder accomplices could only watch as their alliance dreams were snuffed.
"Unfortunately, in our tribe there was a split, and it was an obvious split--it was a generation gap," Carl said in his final words. "You had four people who were in their forties, who had worked their lives and have a sense of responsibility, and then you had people who are confused in their lives. It's kind of sad. I'm kind of worried about that generation."
Take that, you ungrateful little whippersnappers.
Speaking of aging gracefully, Survivor: Africa is proving that recent worries about its staying power are a bit premature--even if it has to settle for second place behind the revitalized Friends.
Once again, the NBC comedy pummeled its Kenya competition from 8 to 8:30 p.m., averaging 25.6 million viewers to Survivor's 18.2 million. But Survivor took over at 8:30, topping NBC's limp Inside Schwartz. And all told, Survivor: Africa nabbed 20.4 million viewers--up 840,000 from last week, according to final Nielsen numbers.
