16 SURVIVORS STRANDED IN OUTBACK (continued)

Shelter

Rodger Bingham, although frustrated by Michael's commanding approach to the construction of the shelter, decided it was best not to provoke the situation. "I have built plenty of homes in my time, but sometimes, especially in this situation, it's better to just keep quiet."

As night fell, Kucha bundled together to keep warm, and conversation turned to Kimmi. Her boisterous nature and liberal ideas about sex were the topic of discussion. Jeff Varner, still struggling with a headache and nausea, was not the only person irritated by Kimmi's piercing tone. Debb had this to say: "Kimmi is a happy-go-lucky person; nothing is taboo with her, dignity is irrelevant." (

Debb assesses Kimmi's character. )

Meanwhile, at the Ogakor camp, 26-year-old Texan Colby Donaldson used a huge Texas state flag (his Luxury Item) as the roof of the structure. Said Colby: "When I wake up in the morning, there are two things I'm thankful for: One that I'm alive and the second that I'm a Texan."

However, tensions began to build almost immediately between certain tribemates. Jerri Manthey, the self-assured 30-year-old actress from Los Angeles, clashed with Keith about how the flag was to be positioned and about the location of the shelter.
