A strong ‘Survivor’ falls early
Tina Wesson, a former “Survivor” champ, was the first to get banished when the hit CBS reality-game returned for its “All-Stars” rematch Sunday night. The 42-year-old former nurse was voted off by her fellow Saboga Tribe mates at a rainy tribal council.
Wesson went all the way on “Survivor: The Australian Outback” in spring 2001. Her strong showing then may have worked against her this time among wary teammates.
Unlike the seven editions that have gone before, “Survivor: All-Stars” is being waged by 18 veteran castaways, including Ethan Zohn, the “Survivor: Africa” champ two years ago, and Richard Hatch, winner of the original series in 2000.
Though the premiere episode aired after Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast, “Survivor: All-Stars” moves to its regular time slot Thursday at 8 p.m.
