VEE CELEBRATES HER 36TH BIRTHDAY, ON "SURVIVOR: MARQUESAS," THURSDAY, MAY 2

"The Princess" -- It's Vecepia's birthday, on SURVIVOR: MARQUESAS, Thursday, May 2 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

After 28 days, the tribe can no longer bear to eat the slimy sea creatures. Determined to spice up their diet, Kathy sets her sights on catching a shark with the camp's machete. Meantime, when Sean sees that Vee is depressed on her 36th birthday, he serenades her to cheer her up. And the tribe is openly resentful of the magnificent experience given to the winner of the reward challenge.

And a tenth member is voted out of the tribe.

SURVIVOR: MARQUESAS is produced by SEG, Inc. Mark Burnett is the executive producer.
