It looks like Survivor producer Mark Burnett may need counsel - and not of the tribal kind.
The reality TV mastermind is being sued by his former business partner, Conrad Riggs, who claims Burnett 
reneged on a profit-sharing plan the two had. Riggs says Burnett agreed to hand over ten percent of the profits on his prime time shows - which include The Apprentice as well as Survivor. Apparently Burnett paid up through 2007, when he decided he wanted a new payment plan.
Of course, this is all he said, he said, as there is no written contract between the two. (What were they thinking?) Apparently Riggs helped Burnett get into TV and advised him on how to pitch TV execs. Who knows? Maybe there's a new show idea in all this - you know, "Survivor: Small Claims Court." Or maybe Judge Judy can look for an apprentice?

“New Classics” List Places Survivor Sixth
In their June 27-July 4 double issue, Entertainment Weekly named its top ten New Classic TV Shows of the past 25 years – and guess what was the only reality show to make the cut? Yeah, you got it.
“Survivor” placed sixth on the list, which was topped by “The Simpsons.” Hey, I have no argument with that….but the rest of the list is dubious at best. In case you’re curious:
1. The Simpsons
2. The Sopranos
3. Seinfeld
4. The X-Files
5. Sex and the City
6. Survivor
7. The Cosby Show
8. Lost
9. Friends
10. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
What, no “The Wonder Years”? No “thirtysomething”? No “Beverly Hills 90210”? And what about the juggernaut of "American Idol"?
Okay, so maybe I’m the only one who thinks the classic that launched teen programming – and Shannon Dougherty – is noteworthy. But leaving “thirtysomething” off and including “Lost”? I have to pull the plug on this list.

In an interview with TV Guide, Parvati Shallow explained how she became the show’s ultimate favorite.
“I made some bold moves, I took some big risks and I’m not going to apologize,” says the Los Angeles charity organizer, who won the $1 million prize in Survivor: Micronesia – Fans Vs. Favorites.
Shallow also discussed some of the tricks of editing in the series, including her last visit to Exile Island, where she was shown confidently sunning herself instead of seeking the coveted Immunity Idol.
“Actually, I found the idol, but they decided not to show it,” Shallow says, adding she found the fourth clue – which lead straight to the idol – while snorkeling. “I left it there because I didn’t want to bring the idol back and wreak havoc.”
A bit funny, coming from the queen of the blindside…and the show’s latest millionaire.

The cameras won’t start rolling until next month, but in an interview with the Associated Press, Survivor host Jeff Probst is reporting preproduction problems with the season’s 17th season.
Billed as Survivor: Gabon – Earth’s Last Eden, the next Survivor session will return to Africa, where the reality show’s third season was filmed. Filming is scheduled to start next month – but will it?
Probst described a variety of problems, including a delay in shipping. “One aspect of Survivor this is different from a lot of shows is that we have to ship throughout the season, and we’re about 30 days behind now, which is a major problem,” Probst says.
“We’re going to be fine on the show, but the crew housing is not there. We’re going to be in tents.”
As if that wasn’t enough, Probst added a crane fell over and a cargo hold of approximately $100,000 worth of food is missing. Wildlife is, well, wild, and has presented its own set of problems.
“We have a danger problem with animals that we’re trying to figure out how to handle,” Probst says. “There’s so much truly wild life out there, we’re not sure what to do. We don’t want the animals around for safety reasons, but we’d love to have a hippo sneak in every so often.”
Maybe if they offered the hippo a buff?

Survivor 16: Fans Versus Favorites episode 12
Recap part two - in which the smug are repaid...
So meanwhile on Jellyfish Island….there are tons of jellyfish. Sincerely. This looks like it would be really fun to do, though I do worry a bit about Cirie. Remember back in her first season, when she was afraid of leaves? Good times.
On Exile, Amanda is hunting for the idol. Hey, if idiots like Ozzy and Jason could find it, she should have no problem with it. She does find the clues easily enough, but learns in the last clue that the idol is buried back at camp. Which, of course, will make it a bit difficult to dig up….
The Jellyfish brigade gets back to camp, where they learn of James’ sudden departure. (No, that was not a gravedigger joke.) Cirie points out that they have to beat Erik at the next immunity challenge if the Black Widows want to avoid eating their own. Which, of course, is inevitable sooner or later, but Cirie and company prefer later.
Morning, and Alexis is wobblier than ever. (Is “wobblier” even a word? Apparently my spell check thinks so. Whee!) Parv asks if she would like to be voted out, which would be a convenient solution to a pressing problem, but no go. Nice try, though.
Parv and the two fan girls agree that Erik goes next, which duh! If you want an all female final five, did you really have to point out that Erik is of the non-female persuasion? (Although, with his Goldilocks and Ozzy-crush, Erik can give off mixed signals. Just saying.) Natalie mentions she couldn’t win in a final three situation if Amanda was there, sort of planting the seed just in case Erik does win immunity. Parvati says she doesn’t want to backstab Amanda at this point, since they’ve been together since day one (well, except for that little rift during the Ozzy blindside). Interestingly, Parv doesn’t tell them not to vote for Amanda….she just says she can’t be a part of it. Nor does she need to be, doncha know?
Immunity Challenge! Amanda gets brought in from Exile Island and brought up to date on the James situation. The challenge will involve firing a high-powered rifle at colored saki bottles, trying to break the bottles of your color. The first person to break three of their bottles wins. Natalie hits right away. Amanda misses, Parvati hits, Cirie misses. Ho hum. Cut to the chase….Erik hits three bottles first and wins immunity. Uh oh, looks like a spider is about to be exterminated.
Back at camp, Amanda dumps her bags to prove she did not find the hidden immunity idol. A great move on her part. It lets the others think they can safely vote her off without splitting votes – and gives her a bit of time to actually find the idol before TC. Bravo, Amanda!
So, while the fans go for the chickens (remember the chickens? Remember when Cirie was afraid of the chickens?), Amanda pulls Parv aside and comes clean. First they decide to vote off Alexis (Parv’s choice – Amanda wanted Nat, but for some reason goes along). Parv tells Amanda the consensus is that she’s going tonight, but Amanda says she’ll try to appeal to Erik, since she saved him in the Amy vote. In the meantime, she needs to find the idol. True, dat.
Erik admits to Amanda that it’s either her or Parvati, since they’re big threats. Amanda tries to appeal to his sense of fairness, but he says she’ll beat him in the end game if he lets her stay around. He lets her know that he’ll be voting for her, and she flashes sad eyes at him.
As Erik passes the plucked chicken to Cirie, he passes the word as well – Amanda goes tonight. Cirie agrees. She’s sad to see her pal go, but admits it’s not the worst move for her, strategically speaking. She does go to Amanda and fills her in. Amanda says she and Parv are voting for Alexis, and mentions that Cirie could go with them and force a tie. Cirie says she couldn’t, because with her luck, she’d end up picking the purple rock of doom tie breaker and be out herself. Since Amanda can appreciate self-preservation, she respects this and tells Cirie not to force the tie. She also asks Cirie a telling question – if things weren’t like this, would Cirie still be on board with the other favorites to the end? Of course, Cirie is on with anyone until the end, so she confirms this.
Parvati watches the others eating in the cave as Amanda starts digging for the idol. Cirie asks where Amanda is, but Parvati says she told girlfriend she stunk, so she must be trying to freshen up. Hee.
Tribal. The three known jury members are brought in, then are surprised to learn that James – now surgically hooked to an IV – is joining their ranks. Probst asks Amanda if she looked for the hidden idol (which brings cheers from the jury) but she says she couldn’t find it. She admits she knows she’s on the block tonight, saying only Parv is voting with her. And then she lets the jury know that Erik came to her when he needed a vote, but went to “greener grass” when it was her time of need. Nice seed planting, there.
Natalie and Alexis both chime in that Amanda is the biggest threat for the finals. Nat says Amanda did nothing wrong to any of the current jury members (I hope they took note!) while Alexis says she adores Amanda, which is why she was upfront about the vote. Which is happening right about now….
As Cirie goes to vote, Amanda makes the classic “slash across the throat” sign. Cirie comes back and holds Amanda’s hand as the others go vote.
Before he announces the results, Probst reminds the players that now is the time to play the hidden immunity idol if you have it. There’s a moment of silence, then Amanda pipes up, “About that, Jeff,” and reaches into her bag. The faces are priceless – the jury is openly celebrating, Cirie smiles (was she surprised?) while the fans are crestfallen. Swinging the idol as she heads toward Jeff, Amanda tells the tribe that, when she told them she didn’t have the idol, she didn’t have it – yet. Yep, she blindsided them – and she didn’t even have to lie!
Jeff reads the votes, and the first four – all Amanda – don’t count. The final two votes are for Alexis, who hugs Natalie before getting snuffed.
Next week: Everyone is courting Erik, who appears to want Cirie and Parv with him at the end. Which, of course, doesn’t go over too well with Nat, who overhears.

Survivor 16: Fans Versus Favorites episode 12
Recap part one - in which we see the mini-me's smashed...
Some weeks, it’s just a joy to watch Survivor. Well, okay, I like watching it every week…that’s why I’m here, doncha know?....but some weeks leave me feeling better than others. And then there are weeks like this week, when I keep saying, “Yes!” to myself giddily because nothing turned out the way I thought it would, and that’s a very good thing indeed. But let’s get to it, shall we?
So we open this episode with some truly gross stuff, even worse than watching James munch down on bat soup. It’s another medical intervention, y’all, this time with James’ finger being the object of much surveillance. James acts like it’s all no big deal (and it probably isn’t to him; after all, the guy digs graves for 
a living) but the medic disagrees. She cleans it up and lets him go back to camp, but wants to check the hand again in the morning. James reluctantly agrees, noting he needs his hands to work. Cause that shovel doesn’t dig dirt on its own, right?
By morning, James isn’t the only medically gimpy Survivor at camp. Apparently Alexis tripped over her dimples and fell, injuring her knee. She’s limping, and Cirie (a nurse by trade) notes that both injuries look bad. She sounds as sympathetic as possible as she adds that may mean two less people she’ll have to fight for the million. Heck of a bedside manner, that one.
Reward challenge. It’s another one of those tell-tale challenges in which each castaway answers leading questions in private, then the answers are tallied and revealed while the players guess what was the most popular answer. Those who get it right (that is, guess the answer; it doesn’t matter if they personally got it right, if that makes sense) get to chop a rope of another tribe member. When three ropes are chopped on a person, his mini-me is smashed and they’re out of the game.
And the reward? Only the most popular, time with loved ones. This time around, the loved ones include Amanda’s sister Katrina (who tells her she smells better than last time – hee), Cirie’s hubby HB (I still think it stands for “honey bunny”), Alexis’s brother Nathan, Natalie’s mom Rocky, James’ dad James, Parvati’s mom Gail and Erik’s cleaner cut brother, Kurt.
Cute moment when Kurt comes out – Erik points out to his brother, “That’s Jeff Probst! He’s just standing there!” like the good fan-boy that he is. And, honestly? That’s what I wanted to see more of in this season – more of the gape-eyed awestruck adoration from the fans. I mean, how many of us get tongue tied when we see a celebrity? Rachael Ray served me beet risotto last December (a long story better left for the culinary blog) and I was just reduced to a grinning, nodding, beet-eating idiot. And that was just Rachael Ray! I cannot imagine the dribble I would become if I was ever in an elevator with Bruce Springsteen.
But I digress. The game continues, and the surveys are completed. First question: who does most for the tribe? Everyone but James says James (who really believes it about himself, but is way too humble to say so out loud). Amanda, Erik and Parvati take hits, while James takes two.
Next question: who never shuts up? The correct answer is Parvati, which is verified by mom Gail (“I knew it!”). This time around, Erik and Cirie take single chops while Alexis takes two. Everyone’s still alive, for now.
Who thinks they’re in control of the game – but they’re not? Everyone but Parv and Alexis say it’s Parvati, which is the correct answer. The chopping makes its way around, and Parvati’s last rope is cut, smashing a big stick with a spike in mini-Parv’s face. Ouch! Amanda points out, “That’s a little vicious, Jeff,” while the others laugh. Natalie, Cirie and Amanda also take hits this round.
Here’s a fun one – who’s the most honest? Apparently Alexis is the answer, but Cirie is the only one who gets it right. What good is being honest if no one knows it? Well, anyway, Cirie does the final chop of Erik’s rope and the fluffy do goes aflying off his statue.
Who are you least likely to invite to a family dinner? The answer is James, although I have no idea why (except for maybe the palate for bats). Everyone gets it right except Natalie. James, Cirie and Natalie get their final whacks this round (should someone cue up, “Don’t Stop Believing”?). Cirie has the final whack, and has to choose the winner – Amanda or Alexis. She whacks Amanda (although I’m not sure why – aren’t they playing that “Favorite Girls to the End” game?) and Alexis wins the challenge.
Alexis is told to choose two players and their loved ones, who will accompany her and her brother to Stingless Jellyfish Lagoon (or something like that). She picks Cirie and her girl Nat. She also has to pick someone to go to Exile Island, which Amanda makes easy by raising her hand. So, if you’re taking notes, Alexis sends Amanda to Exile and sets the stage for everything that is to come. Just keep that in mind.
James is met by the medic, who decides it’s too big a risk to leave him and his nasty injured finger in this dirty environment. James notes he’d rather be voted out (which looks like it was coming soon, anyway) but for the sake of all those unburied bodies, he’s out of the game. He wishes the rest of the tribe (read: Erik and Parv) goodbye. Erik notes he’s the only man left. Parvati rushes to the dictionary to look up the meaning of the word, “Man.”
Will Cirie be stung by a jellyfish? Will Erik be stung by the Black Widows? Will the viewer be stung by the editing? For the answers to these and other questions, stay tuned to this blog for part two of this Survivor recap.

episode 11; part 2
As the survivors return to camp, Parvati points out that Jason is the luckiest survivor ever. And why, precisely? Because he gets to go to Exile Island and seek out the useless (oh, did I say that?) hidden immunity idol. Of course, Parv could have gone herself, since Natalie is at her beck and call, but some guys have all the luck, which explains why Jason is there. Except not.
Anyway, Natalie, who has been virtually silent for ten previous episodes, suddenly decides today’s the day to run off at the mouth. I hear chocolate cake does that to some people. She tells us that Jason is a little bitch and is lucky to have two days of sunshine to look for the idol, and she calls him a bitch again as she moans that he might find it. Check your scorecards, fans. Yes, she is the very one who put him in this position….now who you callin’ bitch?
Speaking of Jason, he’s on an immunity hunt, and he does uncover the idol. However, what we uncover is the total density which is Jason. He voices over that Natalie must have sent him there because of some sort of strategy, and that they are really a strong alliance and they’ll be working together. Because the people she likes? Nat calls bitch and sends away. The people she hates? She shares cake with. Yeah, life’s like that. (Or at least it is in Jason Land.)
The Black Widow Alliance (named by Parvati for the way the women are spinning the men) assume that Jason will indeed return with the idol. They decide Nat will convince him to not use the idol, saying they’re all voting for James. They also want her to convince him to let someone else win immunity. Natalie says she’ll play up that she sent Jason to Exile to give him an opportunity, so he owes her.
Immunity challenge! And it’s Erik’s 22nd birthday. Natalie assures us the cutthroat nasty women want Erik to have a happy birthday, so they’re targeting Jason with James as a backup in case the idol is played. Aw, aren’t they sweet?
Before the challenge, Natalie tells Jason he needs anyone but James to win. She says she sent him to Exile for a reason and she’ll explain it all back in camp. Jason says he thought as much.
The challenge is one of those that combine elements of challenges past. The first round, which is throwing rocks to release a bundle of puzzle pieces, is won by Amanda, Jason, James and Erik. They move on to the second round, where they dig for a key to unlock their pieces then create a wheel and spin it to lower planks. James and Erik take this one, and go onto the finals, where Erik eventually triumphs.
The girls are extremely happy at this win, of course. When they get back to camp, Jason goes out looking for food, and Natalie searches his belongings to confirm that he does indeed have the idol (the real one this time).
Later on the beach, Nat tells Jason she wanted him to have the idol, and he thanks her for keeping her word. They plot to vote for James. Later, Natalie congratulates herself for being so evil, saying she can be cutthroat and ruthless with a smile on her face. Anyone else longing for the days of Natalie who?
James consults with Amanda, who spills the plan is to get Jason, but that our favorite gravedigger is the backup choice. He says he’s voting Parvati and asks Amanda to do the same (which in the scheme of things shows James is about as stupid as his press says). 
Tribal Council. Ozzy, proving again he’s the classiest guy on the island, shoots the bird to the group. Probst points out the tribe seems to be shooting for physical threats, which is not good news for James. James confirms he’s on the block, and fingers Parvati as the one who orchestrated Ozzy’s blindside. Ouch!
Jason seriously believes his social standing has improved, which shows you just how dumb the men are on this island. Then the votes: James, Jason, James, Parvati, James, Jason, Jason, Jason. And another idol bites the dust.
Next up – no one is licking James’ finger, but it’s still looking pretty icky. And it’s family time!

Episode 11 Part 1
Yes, ladies and gents, this week was all about damage control. Parvati, of course, had to do a bit, as she had betrayed the Showmance Alliance in following Cirie’s plan against Ozzie. (Yeah, I know Parvati thinks she’s the mastermind, which just proves that Cirie is truly the master!) But before we get to that, let me do some damage control of my own. Unfortunately, my own island (in the middle of Jersey) was hit by some sort of ugly tropical flu last week, rendering us helpless and unable to lift a finger to blog. Which means, of course, that I missed blathering on about the excitement of Ozzie’s blindside, and yet another foolish man going down with an idol in his pocket. Now when will I ever have that chance again?
Anyway, sorry to have left you. Think of it as my own writer’s strike, but this time with the writer’s head in a bucket. And now let’s get onto our previously scheduled season….
Okay, so the damage is done, the king is dead, long live the black widow (whomever she may be). We open with Erik blathering on about the airtight nature of a successful blindside, noting that if he had been in on it, he probably would have told Ozzie. Which, of course, is precisely why he isn’t in on it. Erik seems a little lost without the Big Man on Island leading him by the lease, but we’ll cut him a break tonight since it’s his birthday (and there’s no ice cream for him to scoop, poor thing).
Amanda and James are also discussing Ozzie’s sudden departure, which has more serious implications for them. Amanda’s upset, but James admires the game play. Amanda says in confessional that Cirie, Parv,
Natalie and Alexis are the new alliance, which of course she was told a while back, but whatever. She also says things like, “Game on!” and “They’re here to play” which makes me wonder what Amanda thought was actually going on the previous 29 days. To quote the townspeople in Beauty and the Beast, “She’s a beauty but a funny girl.”
Oh, and Cirie points out that James’ finger is getting really really icky. Like infected and needs help icky. Foreshadowing, anyone?
Parvati starts her damage control with James. He asks straight out where she’s going with this, and she admits she’s looking at an all female final five. Now, James may be the dumbest Survivor ever (though he’s been greatly challenged for the title this season) but even he sees this means he’s on the way out.
Next on the hit list: Amanda. Parvati assures her that she’s still part of the plan, and Cirie joins them as they vow they’ll be the final three. Amanda admits they may have another plan in mind – after all, she wasn’t in on their last plan – but wants to stay on their good side right now, since she thinks Parv is running the show.
Auction time! Each Survivor is given $500 to bid in $20 increments, and no sharing of money or items this time around. First up is a covered dish which Cirie wins for $120. Inside is a hot dog, fries and fixings. Next Erik wins another covered item for $80, which he immediately trades for the box Carol Merrill, er, I mean Jeff offers up in exchange. Good move – he turned in his jar of octopus parts for a tray of nachos.
Next Natalie wins a $240 bowl of bat soup (covered, of course). She blanches and leaves it, and James asks if he could have it. Jeff okays that, and I covered my eyes as James snacks on.
Then a PBJ sandwich (uncovered) is offered. The girls are all over the bidding, with Amanda winning for $280. The next covered dish goes to Natalie for $240, which is revealed to be a bottle with a note in it. She reads she is to send one person to Exile Island immediately and take all of his money. James and Jason haven’t spent anything, so they look like sitting bats, and Nat asks Jeff if the hidden immunity idol is back in play. Probst confirms it is, and Natalie picks Jason, who is not happy even though he has the chance to get a real idol this time.
Back to the bidding. Another covered dish, which Jeff says comes with another layer. Using Jason’s money, Nat wins with a $380 bid, and is thrilled to see her prize is a chocolate cake. The “second layer” is a note instructing her to choose three other survivors, and the four of them would have 60 seconds to stuff all the cake they can into their mouths. Natalie chooses Parvati, Cirie, and Alexis (no surprise there), then warns them not to hog the cake since she hasn’t had anything to eat yet. Well, you could have had the bat soup, so quit your complaining.
Next we’re treated to 60 seconds of cake cramming, which is almost as bad as James and the bat, which culminates in Erik paying $40 to lick the remains off Cirie’s fingers. And with that, the auction….and part one of the recap….is over.

Minicap episode 9 Part Two...Meanwhile, back at the feast...
Ozzy proclaims everyone should enjoy the feast, then get back to the game afterward. All agree. Alexis is especially agreeable, and is so cozy with the Ozman that I had to wonder what went on last week on Exile Island. Ozzy tells her he's ready to think beyond "Favorites versus Fans" and that he thinks she deserves to be there. Well, good enough for me! But it isn't good at all for Amanda who, after all, has been with Ozzy all of 22 days and has called dibs. She wants Alexis gone, gone, gone.
The Yabba Dabba Du tribe (see, I can make things up too) goes back to Malakal beach, which Alexis calls "Heaven." Cirie has a bit of a problem seeing all these strangers making themselves at home (which, of course, they are). Jason tells Ozzy he's been waiting all season to learn to spearfish from the master. Ozzy says Jason is one of his fans (they're legion) and he's pretty sure Jason has the fake idol. Ozzy enjoys this, which is kinda mean, but I have to admit it is kinda funny....and will become even more so.
Eliza approaches Parvati to see why a favorite is missing when there was still a fan to get rid of. Parvati plays it pretty straight, telling Eliza things have changed, and Eliza says she's 100 percent loyal to the Favorites. Which, of course, explains why she aligned with Jason.
Anyway, no time to admire Parvati's honesty, because the next thing you know she's back at her mean girl act, telling Amanda how sick she is of Eliza staring at her. Amanda seems not to care one way or another about that, but does get upset at Parvati's other news - that the two of them are now in another alliance, this one with Natalie (who?) and the vixen Alexis. Obviously Amanda wants Alexis out even more than Parvati wants to get rid of Eliza and her bug eyes. Amanda says Parvati screwed her over (in confessional, NOT to Parvati). Parvati kids about making an alliance with Erik, Jason and Eliza too....because she believes in inclusion, doncha know?
The first individual immunity challenge consists of staying under a metal grate while the tide comes in and limits air space. Surprisingly, Cirie isn't first out (Amanda is). Not surprisingly, the last two in are Ozzy the Marine Boy and his wannabe, Jason. Ozzy ducks below the grate, pops up, but then gives up, looking like he aged years. Jason wins!
Jason declares his domination and is thrilled to have beaten Ozzy in particular, natch. He now plans to take Ozzy out. Since the others have made it known they're voting for Eliza, the Annoying Alliance agree to vote for Ozzy, who will be blindsided when Eliza produces the hidden immunity idol and their two votes put him out. Amanda does float Alexis as a possibility (a great way to get rid of the competition) and Cirie agrees to vote for anyone. (That's a known Survivor strategy, circa Pearl Islands and Sandra.)
Jason hands off the nicely wrapped fake idol to Eliza and heads to the beach. She recognizes it for what it is - a phony baloney piece of wood - and storms the beach to confront Jason. "It's just a f**ing stick!" she tells him. He's still sure it's the real deal, pointing out that it's no mere stick - it's a stick with a face. (Cue: HR Pufnstuf.) As reality sets in, Jason tells Eliza that's a bummer, but she may as well play it anyway.
Which she does. The vote goes as predicted - two for Ozzy, the rest for Eliza - and Eliza gives Jeff the stick. He throws it in the fire, declaring it a fake, and her torch is snuffed. But she gives the tribe a gift before leaving - she tells them that this means Ozzy has the real hidden immunity idol. Which, duh.
