Some weather, huh?

Like a true kindred Nittany Lion, former Penn State Homecoming King Ian Rosenberger was hit with some bad weather last night on CBS' Survivor: Palau along with the rest of us. Ian's tribe, Koror, had to undergo a horrific rainstorm last night, with winds, one survivor estimated, of up to 40 mph.

The winds were so bad that even their cozy shelter was shaking in the tumult. "This isn't gonna go anywhere," Ian scoffed optimistically in the storm, before summoning his inner Lt. Dan to yell "I'd like to see 'em try!"

The Ulong tribe, meanwhile, was swimming peacefully among jellyfish that evolution had kindly stripped of stingy tentacles. This, along with Pringles and Mai Tais, was part of the reward for the show's first tribal challenge, a shooting contest, won by Ulong who -- with three southerners and a Temple graduate -- clearly had an unfair advantage for that challenge.

But when it came time for the show's immunity challenge, a clever combination of Capture the Flag and Pick-Up Sticks, Koror bounced back.

"Be tigers, guys," firefighter Tom instructed Ian and the other three Koror representatives in the competition.

And tigers they were, clawing their way through the allegedly unconquerable "Navy knots" tied by Ulong's James to open the chest that contained their team flag and yet another immunity-challenge victory.

The decimated Ulong tribe voted out James, perhaps because his special forces knots were not as impenetrable as promised; Ian and Koror, meanwhile, enjoyed an unprecedented fifth straight immunity challenge victory and are still eight members strong.

Shame about those Pringles, though.
