Looks like there’s a battle of the sexes tonight, as all preview videos indicate the cavemen are going to start ordering the cavewomen around. Not sure considering the current state of the nation if that plan will go down smoothly, but with Survivor being a single Petri dish in a broader experiment, maybe that kind of thing will fly.
