TYSON

The Wire

Correction: Mike Tyson story

In a Nov. 12 story about Mike Tyson's arrest at Los Angeles International Airport, The Associated Press misidentified the source of information about details of an encounter between Tyson and a photographer. The statement that the photographer refused to leave Tyson's family alone and at one point collided with his baby's stroller should have been attributed to attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, not Tyson's spokeswoman, Tammy Brook.

Another ‘Survivor’ sent home from Brazil

After helping to blindside Brendan last week, Tyson was blindsided at Tribal Council, voted out by an alliance of J.T., Taj, Stephen and Erinn, who pointed out that since Tyson lost the immunity challenge yet is a strong competitor, “this might just be the chance to” get rid of him. Sierra also voted against Tyson, but the alliance didn’t tell her what was happening, because she expected to go home. On his way out, Tyson called those who voted against him “sneaky bastards.”

Leg infection forces Joe to leave ‘Survivor’

Joe was evacuated from the game due to an infection, and he said it was awful to be effectively "blindsided by your own body." Examined by medical staff after the immunity challenge, he told the show's doctor, "I want ya'll to tell me if you don't go home right now, you're going to lose the leg." She basically told him that, noting that because the infection could spread to his blood, he would "risk death." Joe told us that he learned that "mother nature's a pretty awesome force" but having to leave the game "sucks, man." The other effect of his injury was, as Jeff Probst told the newly merged tribe at their camp, "the impact on you guys is no Tribal Council."

‘Survivor’ proves too tough for one player

Army sergeant Jerry was voted out because he was sick and weak to compete. After the immunity challenge, he doubled over and said, "I'm through. I'm finished." But later he told us, "They have to vote me out; I'm not giving up." And Timbira did just that, sparing Erinn even though Coach wanted to vote her out. Clearly, he didn't do a good job of coaching his tribe to vote his way.
