Who will walk off the beach with the million?
And why on earth do we care?

Survivor: The television cargo cult
By JOYCE SMITH
Globe and Mail Update
A lot has been written about the runaway popularity of the CBS summer
hit Survivor. What is the secret of its success?
Last week, the producers finally tipped their hand in the most blatant of
ways: Survivor is religious television, and its audience followers with
varying degrees of devotion.
Who will survive Survivor's demise?
As show winds down, castoffs try
to exploit their 15 minutes of fame
By LYNN ELBER
So Survivor's triumphant Survivor picks up a million bucks (U.S.) tomorrow? Big deal. There's more coconuts than that to go around for the other players, the show's producer and CBS.
Survivor: just another day at the office
The show's scheming, backstabbing and fragile alliances
are all features of the modern workplace, experts say
By NATALIE SOUTHWORTH
If you missed last Wednesday's episode of Survivor, don't worry: The same scheming power plays, strategic alliances and celebration of mediocrity are available in the workplace any day of the week.
Survivor: the art of betrayal
What will tomorrow night's climax reveal
about the cannibal in all of us?
By LYNN ELBER
When I was in college, some friends of mine and I sat down one vacation day to play a board game of global strategy called, I think, Summit. We were members -- leaders, actually -- of a peace group and thought it would be fun to see how the other half played, making military alliances, building bases, declaring war, that sort of fun. After a while, one of our number discovered that the way to score serious points in this game was to betray his ally. He won big. One of us laughed so hard he broke the antique chair in which he was sitting. Laughed to keep from screaming, that is.

As show winds down, castoffs try
to exploit their 15 minutes of fame
By THERESA EBDEN
On Wednesday, it'll be over: Rudy, Richard, Kelly or Susan will walk away with $1-million (U.S.). But where will that leave the millions of viewers who have spent an hour every Wednesday night for the past 12 weeks pulling for their favourite island castaway on the television phenomenon Survivor?
Sean Gets Heave-Ho
By ALEXANDRA GILL
It's down to the final four. And it's already getting nasty. After finally waking up and realizing that he really did want to win the $1-million jackpot, Sean Kenniff, the remarkably naive and widely ridiculed neurosurgeon, was voted off the island in last night's penultimate episode of Survivor.
Survivors: people we grow to hate
Show's appeal lies in our love for gossip
and learning about petty jealousies
By JOHN ALLEMANG
Why are 30 million North Americans watching Survivor every week? Why, as the series builds up to its final three-hour wrapup next Wednesday, will the rest of the continent find itself totally consumed by Survivor mania?
Kick off Gervase -- let's keep Titus
By SOL CHROM
You can't swing a cat these days, it seems, without hitting some breathless reference to Survivor. To observe that it's not just a TV show, but a cultural phenomenon, seems almost trite. Like it or not, phrases such as, "that's so off the island" have entered the pop-culture lexicon.
NBC scrambling to catch the reality train
By JOHN ALLEMANG
It's true: They have no shame. They can't afford to. Being picky about the kind of TV shows they put on the air almost cost NBC's top programmers their jobs this summer.
SurvivorSucks.com: We just don't care

Surviving Survivor
A Canadian hacker -- oops, he doesn't want to be called a hacker because he doesn't think what he did was illegal -- has either found or been completely misled into thinking he found the secret of who is the last Survivor in the television program Survivor.
