WHAT HAPPENED: As expected, not-so-gentle giant Ted Rogers kicked off the episode trying to figure out why the former members of Sook Jai tribe voted for him en masse at the last Tribal Council. Curiously, when amiably crusty adventurer Jake Billingsley told him why, Rogers didn't buy it. It was an amusing irony: as Billingsley tried to win over former members of Gentry's Chuay Gahn tribe by telling the truth -- that ex-softcore porn actor/used car salesman Brian Heidik and Snuffy Smith soundalike Clay Jordan were manipulating the merged Chuay Jai tribe to win -- most assumed he was lying. Heidik and Jordan teamed up to win the first challenge competition, and Navy swimming instructor Helen Glover won immunity during a gussied-up trivia contest about Thailand.
Pianist deftly handles a study in contrasts
CLEARWATER -- Pianist Vladimir Feltsman is a master of dramatic contrast, and his recital program of Schumann and Mussorgsky on Thursday night at Ruth Eckerd Hall played to that strength. The piano music of Schumann is, for the most part, inward looking, psychologically complex, while that of Mussorgsky is mainly about externals, creating musical pictures that leap to life from the keyboard.
