AMERICAN IDOL
Last night, “American Idol” needed medics more than judges. Kree Harrison looked awfully stiff as she performed. Keith Urban asked why and it turns out Harrison has a pinched nerve. Candice Glover was also having mobility issues. She’s got a broken toe, from an April Fools prank that backfired. But the judges said at least they were singing well. Nicki Minaj liked Lazaro (LAZ’-ah-roh) Arbos’ take on the rock classic “We Are The Champions.” She said it was like “crack juice.” Tonight, another hopeful gets the bad news.
SURVIVOR
It takes brains to win Immunity on “Survivor” — raw pigs’ brains. Last night’s “Survivor: Caramoan” had the first Individual Immunity Challenge of the season. It was a gross-out eating contest, with the final dish a plate of pigs’ brains. Cochran managed to out slurp Malcolm and win the challenge. At Tribal Council, the favorites still held the advantage over the fans. But returning player Corrine didn’t benefit. She may have been a little too vocal in plotting to oust some of the other favorites. Her elimination didn’t come as much of a surprise, though. And Corrine admits she only liked a couple of her tribemates.
