Her fellow Kucha tribe members have sent Kimmi Kappenberg, 28, along with her vegetarian leanings, packing. Kappenberg was the latest victim -- the fifth -- on CBS's "Survivor: The Australian Outback," getting the boot in the episode broadcast Thursday night. She was the first Kucha member to be shown the exit since corrections officer Debb Eaton was voted off at the show's first tribal council on Super Bowl Sunday. Kappenberg, who complained about the water and the treatment of the wildlife (especially chickens) in the rugged setting, had her fate sealed when the seven-member Kucha tribe lost an elaborate immunity challenge to the sparse Ogakors, whose numbers have dwindled. Those Ogakors are also looking as if they could use a good meal. Meanwhile, over on NBC, "Friends" lovebirds Chandler and Monica revealed the first time they consummated their passion, a bedding that took place in a London hotel room, though Monica -- prodded by Phoebe's big mouth -- revealed that she was really on the hunt for Joey at the time. On "Will & Grace," which immediately followed the 40-minute "Friends" episode, Grace found out that Will's father was having an extra-marital affair, but Will chose not to discuss it.
