Things get hotter and heavier than ever as Survivor: Pearl Islands enters its 25th, 26th, and 27th day. For starters, the old adage "absolute power corrupts absolutely" is trotted out and displayed in full flower. For another, one of the contestants embarks upon a shark hunt -- which yields disappointing results for everyone but the shark. Inevitably, at episode's end, another player is voted off the island, sparking a huge angry outcry from viewers...the largest "instant" response ever received by the producers of Survivor.
