Harvard Law School's (HLS) honeymoon with the CBS hit show "Survivor II" ended last Thursday night as second-year student Nick Brown lost his bid to win the million-dollar endurance contest.

Brown was voted out of the Australian outback, where the show was filmed, after "surviving" until the 10th episode. Brown will now join a jury with the other people voted out of the outback to decide the fate of the remaining six contestants.

"I was happy to get...back to civilization," Brown wrote in an e-mail. "It's such a weird experience to be cut off from society and from your family for such a long time."

Many HLS students gathered every Thursday night around a TV in Harkness Commons to watch Brown and can no longer root for their fellow student.

"It's disappointing, but I think people will still watch," said law student Frank T. Buford.

Brown held out on the show longer than some had expected. After many of his teammates from the Kucha Tribe were voted off, Brown's chances looked slim. But Brown, an army officer, used his physical fitness to win immunity challenges, which allowed him to avoid facing a vote on his fate.

Sickness and weariness, however, did Brown in. After a month living outside, Brown told CBS's "The Early Show" that his back was starting to hurt and the inside of his mouth was red and irritated.

"It's been rough. To last out here a month is no joke," Brown said in his final speech on the show. "The last few days have been really rough on me and it'll be good to have a meal, a shower, a shave."
