Survivors Exposed Another Survivor has been castaway. But it's the remaining players that are making news. Kelly, the 23-year-old river guide, is wanted for using a stolen credit card in North Carolina. There's an outstanding warrant for her arrest from five years ago when she allegedly went on a shopping spree and topped it all off with dinner. When she was pulled over in Nevada, police contacted North Carolina authorities. They said the charges weren't enough to extradite her back to the state. Tell that to the waitress who accepted the stolen credit card. She served 70 hours of community service because of the ordeal.

And if that criminal activity isn't enough for you, try this one on for size. Richard is being investigated for child abuse. His adopted son says he wanted him to lose some weight. But when the boy was too tired to run anymore, Richard attempted to choke him. Of course, Papa Rich denies the allegations. The investigation continues.

Oops. CBS Slips It's not the ratings that are taking a slip. Although those have been lackluster as well. The first Big Brother contestant booted from the house has CBS making excuses. William Collins AKA Will Mega AKA Hiram Ashantee is a former New Black Panther Party official. While all this came out during BB's live show July 19, it was the media who brought this matter to light. Not CBS. They didn't know a thing about his political past when he was chosen as one of the 10 housemates. CBS chief Les Moonves says, "We're dealing with a lot of people out there who do have skeletons. We're flying without a net here."

Jerry Like Jenny? Jerry Springer has never denied nor confirmed that his show is staged. He says the show's purely for entertainment purposes. Now The Jerry Springer Show is under immediate fire. A Florida woman who appeared on the "Secret Mistresses Confronted" episode was found dead shortly after the segment aired. Her ex-husband and his new wife accused her of stalking them. Now they're wanted for questioning. Just two hours before the woman was found, police were called to her house because the two women were fighting over who had a right to live there. The couple has mysteriously disappeared and police are searching for them. People are wondering if Jerry's hot topics complete with hair-pulling and fist fights have landed him in a similar spotlight as Jenny Jones. In 1995, a guest murdered his secret admirer, a gay man on a Jenny Jones Show secret crushes episode.
