Our correspondent, Raleigh lawyer and "Survivor" fan Damon Circosta, offers his thoughts about this week's episode:

The arc of a television show is a lot like the career of a rock star. The good ones usually start with a big hit. The great ones follow that hit with a consistent and solid body of work. The legends take it one step further. They redefine the genre. They have such an impact they can turn the formulaic into something new. 

The Beatles did it to rock in the '60s and "Survivor" did it to television in the first decade of the millennium. This isn’t just another reality show, this is something that was so groundbreaking at the time that they can essentially run the same program for over a decade and still find a way to keep it relevant.

"Survivor" may have reached legend status a few years ago, and much like the Beatles at the end of their run, the producers are using some gimmicks to keep it fresh. Redemption Island, with its chance to get back in the game after the tribe has spoken, isn’t all that different from the silly costumes of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. They both seem a little silly at first, but after a while you start to realize that there is something special happening here.

"Survivor's" run is remarkable. The challenges might be getting stale (I think this is the third season in a row that Wednesday night’s challenge has been used); the rewards and immunity clues are almost predictable (and it bothers me that no one but Boston Rob sees it coming); and the catty remarks when someone is voted off feel like they were written by a third-rate sitcom writer. But like an aging rock band, producers find a way to deliver time and again. The people they get to go on this show continue to fascinate, and that’s what keeps us coming back.

This episode starts off with a rift between David the lawyer, right, and Sarita the drama queen. Last week they started gunning for each other and (FORESHADOWING ALERT) you knew if the purple tribe lost, one of these two was going home.

You might think today is just another Tuesday, but it's a bit more momentous than that. Finally, after years and years of wrangling between various Apples, The Beatles catalog is on iTunes. As Ringo Starr summed up, "I am particularly glad to no longer be asked when the Beatles are coming to iTunes." Go forth and dig.

(Thanks, Aaron.)

Secrets come out and secrets stay hidden in Season 4, Episode 10. Don, Roger, Lane and Pete see their worlds start to crumble. And at least three of them engage in stunning displays of spinelessness. The one who shows some backbone is most surprising.

The 1960s references are everywhere in this episode. Don gives Sally a thrill when he tells her that he'll be taking her to the Beatles' concert in Shea Stadium (Aug. 15, 1965); Lane takes guests to the Playboy Club; the Cold War and the space race are key to a client's business; women sit in a doctor's waiting room to get an illegal procedure; someone makes the casual offer of a Valium; "Hazel" is playing on a television set. Yet it is the past that makes the biggest impact in this episode.

Big fat spoilers ahead about this packed episode.
