"Survivor" Brian Slapped AroundThu Dec 12, 6:30 PM ET By Lia Haberman

Survivor's soft-porn stud Brian Heidik has so far managed to outwit, outplay and outlast his Thai island teammates, but the tattooed contestant faced his biggest rival back home.

Heidik's wife, Charmaine, was arrested last month and charged with spousal abuse, according to The Smoking Gun.

Cops hauled the castaway's wife off to the slammer on November 17 after a heated argument broke out between the couple at their home in the Los Angeles suburb of Quartz Hill, per a Los Angeles police report.

Slaphappy Charmaine was left to stew in a cell for two days before being released on her own recognizance. A superior court judge allowed her to return home, in the company of a sheriff's deputy, to pick up her belongings.
