The Australian Outback broke the winning ratings streak of NBC's longtime Thursday champ, Friends .
Friends is a TV show.
The cutthroat reality show increased its lead in the second half hour, despite more overall viewers for both shows. Ogakor tribe's Kel Gleason got the boot, after he was suspected of hoarding food. The Army intelligence officer was accused by Jerri of secretly scarfing smuggled-in beef jerky. Despite his denials, the rest of the tribe ganged up to vote him off, even his supposed ally, Maralyn, who had earlier encouraged the tribe to apologize for their unfounded accusations. According to the New York Post , it wasn't beef jerky, but, er, another kind of jerky that had Kel wandering off alone.
