Survivor (7 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2) got off to a strong start last week because human nature is so hard to overcome.

The twist this season is that there are three tribes — Brains, Brawn and Beauty. And the Brains tribe proved just how dumb smart people can be, which is why both contestants who were eliminated in the two-hour premiere were alleged Brains.

This week, we see how tough it can be on this shows as the unending rains make it miserable for everyone. Except the viewers.
