A Look at the Fairness of Paschal's Loss, by David Bloomberg: A recent article on TVGameshows.net said that Paschal's loss via a random draw was “one of the biggest ripoffs in game show history,” and described it as a “raw deal” and “subjective justice.” But is this really the case? Or was it simply another part of Survivor strategy?

Sole Survivor Vee Heads Back to Work, by Susan Schechter: A million dollars just doesn't go as far as it used to. Survivor: Marquesas winner Vecepia has gone back to her old job.

There’s Something About Kathy, by Susan Schechter: Kathy was the final four fan favorite of Survivor: Marquesas. Susan takes a look at why so many people felt there was just something about Kathy.

The International Politics of Survivor: Final Mistakes, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: Professor Jeffrey Sadow has written previously about how Survivor play is similar to international politics. But at the end, a number of mistakes were made that prevented some of those with stronger positions from winning in the end. Let's take a look back at these final mistakes.

A Finale of Futility, by Ken Kellam III: Mirror, mirror on the wall, which Survivor had the worst finale of all? Well, here's a vote for the one that aired on Sunday night. Ken was not at all happy -- and he'll tell you why.?

Hypocrites, Liars, and Backstabbers, Oh My (Heck); or Why Vecepia Should Not Have Won, by Peggy Keller: Vecepia pulled out a win on Survivor, but should she have? Did she deserve it more than the other three? Peggy, always the champion of those who don't make it, says no.

Survivor: Arguments in Court; or The Proper Way to Plead Your Case to a Jury, by Jeffrey Clinard: Survivor: Marquesas is over. Vecepia won, pulling out a victory I didn't think was possible. Shame on me; having read every Perry Mason novel ever written, I failed to consider what an effect final arguments can have on winning over a jury.

Notes from the Live Survivor Finale & Reunion, by Susan Schechter: RealityNewsOnline was "represented" by two of our writers at the live finale last night. Susan Schechter tells us what it was like, who was there, and why she'll never wash her hand again.

Surviving the Marquesan Reunion, by David Bloomberg: After the votes were read and the winner announced, it was time to celebrate and look back with Rosie O'Donnell and all 16 of the contestants. See what they had to say in the live hour after the finale.

Why Vecepia Won, by David Bloomberg: I certainly didn't predict it, but Vee pulled it out. She had jumped from alliance to alliance, leaving a wake of expelled players in her path. When it came down to the end, she managed to take credit for her game play but avoid most of the blame for her backstabbing. But it's a much longer story than that, so let's take a look at why Vecepia won.

Why Neleh Lost, by David Bloomberg: Against all odds, Neleh made it to the final two. But once she got there, she found several members of the jury who were decidedly unhappy to see her there. What happened? Why couldn't she take home the big money? Why did Neleh lose?

Why Kathy Lost, by David Bloomberg: Kathy schemed, she plotted, she didn't allow emotion to interfere with where she wanted to be. She made a surprise alliance that took her into the final three, but then she couldn't make it that last day. What happened? Why did Kathy lose?

Why Paschal Lost, by David Bloomberg: He made it to the final four, but then the luck of the draw spelled the end of his time. But was luck really all there was to it? Or is there a bigger reason for why Paschal lost?

Surviving the Marquesas, the Finale: Girl Power!, by David Bloomberg: From the final four to three to two to one. Paschal is out early and it's just the ladies left. Kathy jumps from alliance to alliance, but so does Vee. It's enough to make you dizzy! In the end, it's the closest vote possible.

Point/Counterpoint with Susan and Brian – Can Kathy Win?, by Susan Schechter & C. Brian Devinney: Both Susan and Brian want Kathy to win. But can she? Will she be able to overcome the Paschal/Neleh alliance and take home the million bucks? On with the debate!

Why Neleh Has Lasted So Long; or What David, Peggy, Jeffrey and Charlie Failed to See, by Katie Lynn Coleman: Those of us here on RealityNewsOnline did not predict great success for Neleh originally. Did we miss something that we should have seen that might have told us how well she would do? Katie Lynn Coleman says yes.

The Unbelievable Bloombergini Predicts ‘Survivor: Marquesas’ Finale, by The Unbelievable Bloombergini: It's time once again for The Unbelievable Bloombergini to square off against The Manly Man in a battle of predictions. This time they address who will win Survivor: Marquesas as Bloombergini looks into his magic mirror for all the answers. Of course, there can be only one outcome from this battle of predictions -- Bloombergini will be right, and the Manly Man will be wrong.

Survivor 4’s Sean and the Race Card, by David Bloomberg: Since Thursday's ouster of Sean from Survivor: Marquesas, some readers have suggested that race either had something to do with the way viewers thought of him or the way players did. Are these allegations true? Frankly, no. Let's take a look.

Survivor Questions, and Hopefully a Few Answers, by Ken Kellam III: This week, we finally learned the answer to the question, "How long will it take for Sean to get booted?" The answer, for most of us at least, was a lot longer than any of us expected. But always, the episode leaves us with new questions. However, this time, an attempt will be made to answer some of them.

Who Will Survive the Marquesas?, by Charlie Reneke: Charlie, always a modest fellow, decided to take a look back at the predictions we all made for how Survivor: Marquesas would turn out. Imagine his surprise when he turned out to have made the best selections for the second season in a row! Join him as he takes a look back.

Brother Can You Spare a Vote? or Why Sean Should Not Have Been Voted Off, by Peggy Keller: Usually, Peggy looks at why a person shouldn't have been voted out from that particular player's point of view. But this time, she explains why Sean shouldn't have gone by looking at it from the view of the person who booted him: Kathy.

Survivor: Marquesas -- Advice to the Remaining 4, by Jeffrey Clinard: Once there were sixteen. Now there are but four. Half of them will exit out to join the jury... but the other two will sit in judgment of them. With only one double-sized episode left, what advice can the Dear Abby of Survivor present to the four remaining contestants on which moves to make so they can get to the finals – and what argument they can make for winning the game?

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: A Vue from the Bridge, by C. Brian Devinney: There are only a few of them left, but they give Brian plenty to write home to Mom about. First, it's all the lies about who supposedly isn't allied with whom, and then it's the Jerry Springer show at Tribal Council. See what else Brian has to say.

Why Sean Lost, by David Bloomberg: Sean was his own worst enemy. He could scheme and plot, but then turn around and make enemies by opening up his mouth when he shouldn't. Overall, what was it that turned the tide? Why did Sean lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 12: His Own Worst Enemy, by David Bloomberg: There are two main themes in this episode: First, Kathy is the swing vote. Second, Sean and Vee are claiming that they aren't a team, when it's obvious to everybody that, in fact, they are. So which side will Kathy go with?

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: Honorable Discharge, by C. Brian Devinney: Peek into Brian's mind again as he writes home about Survivor camp. How was Pat's visit? Why didn't Kathy listen to his advice about turning on Paschal and Neleh?

Tight Lips Sink Proud Ships, or Why Robert Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: Robert was an easy target -- too easy, actually. Somebody needed to take a step forward to forge a new alliance. They should have done it now, and gotten Robert on their side. Thus, Robert should not have lost.

Survivor: Marquesas -- Advice to the Remaining 5, by Jeffrey Clinard: The Dear Abby of Survivor is back with advice -- and only five remain. How should each player plot out the future? And how does Kathy hold the key to everything?

Survivor: Time to Pop the Questions, by Ken Kellam III: As usual, Ken has some questions. Who will be in the top 3? Will Mark Burnett come up with some new challenges? Will Vee give us a whole sermon if she wins something again? Will Sean ever be happy? And more!

Why Robert Lost, by David Bloomberg: It might seem that Robert's loss was merely the final act in the Rotu Four alliance's four-act play. But Robert had a chance that the other three didn't have. Why didn't he take it? Why did Robert lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 11: Courtmartial, by David Bloomberg: Episode 11 featured a reward challenge that brought loved ones for all of the remaining players, and it also brought a chance for Robert to stick around. All he had to do was side with Kathy, Sean, and Vee. But he just couldn't do it. Take a look at what happened.

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: Getting the Scoop, by C. Brian Devinney: As Brian writes home from Camp Nuku Hiva again, he talks about Tammy's unsurprising boot, Neleh's surprising long-windedness about the reward she shared with Paschal, and his surprise about Vee's birthday.

In Defense of Neleh, by David Bloomberg: Neleh used to be the Survivor sweetheart for the Marquesas. But after going with Paschal for his reward and then being called lazy by Sean, her image has tarnished a bit. Does she deserve all the slack, or are viewers falling prey to the whims of editing?

Point/Counterpoint with Susan and Brian: Neleh, Sweet Neleh, by Susan Schechter & C. Brian Devinney: Susan and Brian are back at it again -- or back at each other, depending on how you look at it. This time they debate whether Neleh is really as sweet as she appears to be.

Princess Brat vs. Girl Reporter, or Why Tammy Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: Should Tammy have been voted out, or should the others have instead tried to break up the alliance of Paschal & Neleh, especially after their return from the cruise ship?

The International Politics of Survivor: Kathy’s Choice, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: Jeffrey Sadow, a professor of political science, is back with more insight into how Survivor parallels international politics. In particular, he looks at how Kathy holds the cards as we approach the endgame, and what she needs to do to come out with the million-dollar prize.

Survivor: Marquesas -- Advice to the Remaining 6, by Jeffrey Clinard: Three out of four of the Rotu alliance have gone. Only Robert remains. What would does the Ann Landers of Survivor dish out in terms of advice this time -- both to Robert and to everybody else?

That's All She Wrote, or Haven't I Seen This Before?, by Ken Kellam III: It's deja vu all over again. Many of this week's Survivor moments seem to have been with us before. From the challenges to the rewards to the reactions of various contestants, it seems we've been down this path before.

Why Tammy Lost, by David Bloomberg: Tammy was my original pick to win it all, and just a few episodes, she looked like she was in a good position to do it. So what happened. How did she go from hunter to hunted? Why did Tammy lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 10: Reporter Gets the Bad News, by David Bloomberg: As we come into this episode, it seems fairly obvious that Tammy will be next unless she wins immunity yet again. But is that how it will go? Will Sean and Vee switch sides as a way to guarantee a trip to the final four? Will a reward challenge turn people against one of the winners? Or will it be about as predictable as we thought?

Suggestions for the "All-Star" Version of Survivor, by Jerry Merchant: With news that there may well be an "All-Star" version of Survivor, many fans have ideas as to what should be changed and how it should be handled. Jerry Merchant contributes his ideas for what could make great television.

Point/Counterpoint with Susan and Brian: The Question of Immunity, by Susan Schechter & C. Brian Devinney: One of the more interesting twists this season in Survivor is that the person who wins immunity can give it up to another player. But will anybody ever actually do it? Susan and Brian hash out whether immunity will be given away, or held onto tightly.

RNO Roundtable: All-Star Survivor, by RealityNewsOnline Staff: It was recently confirmed that Mark Burnett is working on an "all-star" or "alumni" version of Survivor. So five of the RealityNewsOnline staff have taken a shot at what the details should be. Where should it take place, how should the players be picked, and, most importantly, who should be in it? Jerry Mahoney, Jeffrey Clinard, C. Brian Devinney, Ken Kellam III, and David Bloomberg provide their thoughts.

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: Stilted Point of View, by C. Brian Devinney: Never a dull moment at Camp Nuku Hiva for Brian. First he has to lecture Tammy & Robert, then it's on to Zoe, and even Neleh needs a little talking to. See what Brian is writing home to Mom about this week.

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 7, by Jeffrey Clinard: The old Rotu alliance is dead in the water, as the old and new Maraamu members tossed out another of the original Rotu faction. The original Rotu alliance shatters as Zoe and Tammy get into it over personalities instead of politics. Fear rules the original Rotu at immunity challenge. With all of that drama happening, what advice do the final seven need?

You’ve Got Answers, We’ve Got Questions, by Ken Kellam III: Once again, as plots thicken and answers to some old questions come out, it seems that more new questions come to light as well. Ken Kellam explores these and wonders where it all might lead.

When You Suck at Sucking Up, You’re Fishing for a Boot, or Why Zoe Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: Was Zoe really the biggest threat? Or is it perhaps better to keep around a known liar? Peggy tells us why Zoe should have stuck around while somebody else should have been voted off.

Why Zoe Lost, by David Bloomberg: Zoe joined the Rotu-4 alliance, but then said she never really did. She agreed to vote against Kathy but then said she never really did. She lied horribly but wasn’t much better with the truth. Looking back on it all, why did Zoe lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 9: She Sells Sea Shells – See Ya, by David Bloomberg: With John gone, Tammy's head was on the chopping block as the second-in-command of the now-defunct Rotu-4 alliance. But Zoe struck out on her own, trying to kiss up to the ruling Maraamu alliance. And Robert, well, he sulked. Who would be leaving this time?

Point/Counterpoint with Susan and Brian: The Enigma That Is Zoe, by Susan Schechter & C. Brian Devinney: It's another grand debate between two of RNO's finest. Is Zoe going all the way with a grand new strategy? Or did she just manage to save her own butt, which is soon to follow John's out of the tribe?

The International Politics of Survivor , by Jeffrey D. Sadow: Survivor may make for fascinating television, but entertainment is hardly its only appeal. Survivor also, in many ways, parallels international politics. See what a professor of political science predicts for the outcome of Survivor: Marquesas.

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: Go Fly a Kite, by C. Brian Devinney: It's unbelievable how cocky the Rotu Four were. Brian tried to tell 'em to go fly a kite, but they thought he was talking about the reward challenge. John got his just desserts, but Brian still doesn't understand how they couldn't see it coming.

Good Night Nurse, or “Isn’t It Ironic?”, by Ken Kellam III: As John leaves the game, the air on Survivor is thick with irony. From Kathy to Tammy to John himself, nobody escapes unscathed.

John, John Go Away, Old Man Pappy Wants to Play, or Why John Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: So it was John's turn to go, which presents Peggy with another problem. She roots for the underdog, but John was never really in that position (as far as he knew). So what does she have to say this time in his defense?

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 8, by Jeffrey Clinard: It finally happened. Tribe members who were down-and-out realized their position in the tribe, and put aside their personal differences to take out a member of the dominant faction. The Dear Abby of Survivor has finally caught the ear of those who were blinded by their perceptions, and they are much the better for it. So, with at last a victory into talking some sense into the remaining survivors, what advice do I give for the remaining eight?

Why John Lost, by David Bloomberg: The man who would be king instead finds himself the first member of the jury. He thought he’d take it all the way, but now just gets to sit and wait. What happened to his great plan? How’d his alliance fail to save him? Why did John lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 8: Nursing a Grudge, by David Bloomberg: Will the Rotu Four waltz into the finals? Or will Paschal and Neleh finally wake up and smell their torches being snuffed? These were the two main questions going into tonight’s episode. And boy, do we have answers.

RNO Roundtable: Post-Merge Review & Predictions, by RealityNewsOnline Staff: It's time once again for the writers of RealityNewsOnline to put their heads together and discuss what has gone on already in Survivor and what we think will happen from here on out. Who have we underestimated? Who has surprised us? And who do we think will win it all?

Letters From Camp Nuku Hiva: Blunt Trauma to the Head, by C. Brian Devinney: Brian must feel like he's been banging his head against the wall. The Rotu-4 alliance does stupid things, Kathy does stupid things, Zoe does stupid things, Rob does stupid things, and Brian writes home to talk about it all.

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 9, by Jeffrey Clinard: After an episode of pizza parties, drama, and real or perceived betrayals, the Dear Abby of Survivor has returned to give advice to the nine remaining players. What went right? What went wrong? And how can the nine remaining best plot their way to the ultimate prize of a treasure chest filled with $1,000,000?

New ‘Survivor’ Brings More Questions Than Answers, by Ken Kellam III: While this episode of Survivor answered a few questions, it provided even more of them, ranging from Kathy's pliability to Mark Burnett's ability to keep us interested. Join Ken as he looks for the answers.

Why Rob Lost, by David Bloomberg: Rob held on longer than most expected, but his luck finally ran out when it became every person for him/herself. There were so many reasons to vote against Rob, so what finally did him in? Why did Rob lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 7: The Robfather, by David Bloomberg: The Robfather tries to play all the angles in order to stay alive. He tells Kathy that Zoe is targeting her; he tells John that he should have stuck to his agreement; he tells everybody that everybody else is lying. It's enough to make you want to leave a horse's head on his pillow!

Point/Counterpoint with Susan and Brian: The Survivor Merge, by Susan Schechter & C. Brian Devinney: From 60 Minutes' Shana Alexander and James Kirkpatrick to Saturday Night Live's Jane Curtin and Dan Ackroyd, Susan Schechter and C. Brian Devinney play "Point/Counterpoint" as they debate the upcoming Survivor: Marquesas merge and the fate of the returning Rotu tribe members.

Letters From Camp Nuku Hiva: Answering the Obvious, by C. Brian Devinney: Things continue to get strange at Camp Nuku Hiva as Brian writes home to mom about John going off the deep end and Rob being up a tree but actually having a plan.

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 10, by Jeffrey Clinard: It's merge time, and as the two tribes go into one, we're faced with three factions which will vie for power come vote time. What else does it mean? Three factions and ten people need the best advice available to gain this power and win the game. So Survivor's answer to Ann Landers is back to provide the tips and tricks needed to win.

Liar, Liar, Sand on Fire, or Why Gina Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: Maraamu lost yet again and had to vote off one of the family members. But who to pick, Gina or Kathy? Here is why Gina shouldn't have been given the boot.

Why Gina Lost, by David Bloomberg: The rumors were true, and Gina is gone after Kathy led the tribe to defeat and drowned the fire in sand. But if Kathy was screwing up, why did Gina lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 6: Make Love, Not War, by David Bloomberg: Can new Maraamu -- Love Tribe 2 -- continue their winning streak in an effort to avoid losing a family member? Will the warlike atmosphere of Rotu cause them to blow another immunity? Or are the rumors true, and Gina is voted out, causing her to fall into the arms of Hunter?

Gabriel: Heroic Philosopher or Just a Crackpot?, by Susan Schechter: Was Gabriel a crackpot for wanting his utopia rather than trying to play the game? Is going just for the experience a valid explanation? Susan Schechter jumps to Gabriel's defense!

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 11, by Jeffrey Clinard: As the game takes another turn with Maraamu's wins and Rotu's divisions, Survivor's advice columnist is back with all new words of wisdom. This time it's not just for the remaining eleven; it's advice to the emerging three factions as well.

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: Taking the Rap, by C. Brian Devinney: As Brian writes another letter home to mom from camp at Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, he discusses what went on at Rotu that led to the ouster of all-around nice guy, Gabriel.

If Gabriel Was an Angel, What Does That Make John?, by Ken Kellam III: Gabriel’s ouster and John’s new leadership role and alliances raise many questions in Rotu – but there are few answers to be had… at least for now.

And the Angel Was Expelled from Paradise, or Why Gabriel Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: The golden-haired boy was voted off the island -- the first Rotu to go. But should he have been? Or should the others have tossed somebody else instead?

Why Gabriel Lost, by David Bloomberg: It's finally time to say goodbye to a Rotu -- and quite a surprise it was as to which Rotu had his torch snuffed. It wasn't an ex-Maraamu, but one of the original Rotu family, Gabriel. Why did Gabriel lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 5: Paradise Lost, by David Bloomberg: Could it possibly be true? Is it finally time for Rotu to lose a challenge?! And what happens to the little paradise they've created if they actually have to confront the possibility of voting somebody off?

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva: Sausage Envy, by C. Brian Devinney: Well, Sarah is gone -- so what will Brian talk about now? Oh, he finds something -- many somethings, actually. There is always plenty to write home about from Camp Nuku Hiva.

Maraamu in the Midst: A Journal from Tammy Leitner, by Jason Borelli: Jason Borelli found this lost journal by Tammy Leitner, who is now world-renowned for spending time in the wild with the primitive Maraamu people and documenting their rituals and society. It contains a wealth of observation and information that should not be missed.

It’s Deja-Maraamu All Over Again, by Ken Kellam III: The switch is done, but too many of the switched seem oblivious to the fact that the game has changed. Can the ex-Maraamu adapt to their new situation, or are they just hoping to get spots in La-Z-Boy ads after the game is done?

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 12, by Jeffrey Clinard: Survivor's resident advice columnist is back with more tips for the dozen players left in the game. A shuffling of tribes has changed the position of many players in the game. All of that means new doses of advice to the remaining twelve.

Where is Don Corleone When You Need Him? Or Why Sarah Should Not Have Been Voted Off, by Peggy Keller: In the biggest test yet of Peggy's ability to root for the underdog, she explains why Sarah should not have been voted out in the fourth episode.

Why Sarah Lost, by David Bloomberg: Sarah was a puppet to Rob's Puppetmaster. But when his hands went to the other tribe, the puppet collapsed. What caused her downfall? The switch? Laziness? Dislike of the mother figure? Why did Sarah lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 4: Booby Prize, by David Bloomberg: As was fairly obvious from the previews, we had a switch on our hands. Rotu and Maraamu were mixed up and new tribes were born. Would Rob be able to continue his Puppetmaster ways? Would Rotu still be a big happy family? Would Sarah/Rob, Sean/Vecepia, or Pappy/Sweet Pea be broken up? And would Gina be saved from the inevitable? All these questions were answered in episode 4.

Survivor Psyche: Brainsucked in Paradise, by Melinda Smith & Suzanne Tromblay: The Survivor Psyche Sisters thought they could take a break. They held their tongues on the happenings so far, but when the fatuous foursome in Maraamu booted Hunter, they just couldn't take it any more. What happened to the brains of these people?!

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 13, by Jeffrey Clinard: Survivor's resident Ann Landers is back, and while the Rotu don't really need much advice, the Maraamu sure do! But what advice do you give to a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings?

Hunter, We Hardly Knew Ye, by Susan Schechter: If Survivor were based solely on ability, Hunter would have been in the final four -- at least. Instead, he didn't even make it to the jury. What is going on at Maraamu that made these guys think this was a good decision?

Surviving Hunter’s ‘Early Show’ Interview, by David Bloomberg: Most of the Early Show interviews are pretty routine. But Hunter left with a bang. Has he calmed down since the vote, or does he still think his group was a bunch of knuckleheads?

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva – What a Nono!, by C. Brian Devinney: It's time for another letter to Mom from the Survivor: Marquesas camp. Find out what Brian has to say about those Maraamu, including their new leader, Rob the genius.

The Ego Alliance, or Why Hunter Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: In what is probably the easiest article Peggy will ever write, we take a look at the many reasons Hunter should not have been voted out in episode 3 by the alliance of huge egos otherwise known as Maraamu.

Why Hunter Lost, by David Bloomberg: Hunter was strong enough, he was smart enough, and doggone it, people liked him -- or so he thought. But when push came to shove, he was shown the door. Was he a threat? Was he an annoyance? Or were his tribemates just a bunch of knuckleheads? Why did Hunter lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 3: The Hunted, by David Bloomberg: Maraamu is coming apart at the seams, but Rotu is having a blast (even with three injuries in one day!). Can it continue this way? Can Maraamu pull it together for at least one challenge win? Or will it continue to be the lazies vs. the workers?

Falling for Survivor All Over Again, by Susan Schechter: It's only been two episodes, but they have done a great job of showing why Survivor is a survivor and why viewers are falling for it again.

Survivor: Marquesas – Observations on the Second Episode, by Ken Kellam III: Survivor: Marquesas now has two episodes under its belt. Some things are becoming clearer, but new questions are being raised as well.

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 14, by Jeffrey Clinard: Dear Jeffrey, I'm stranded on an island with 14 other misfits and left to fend for food, water, shelter, and perhaps a treasure chest filled with one million dollars. The only trick is that I have to be the last person standing to claim the prize. What can I do to make it until the end?

Age Before Beauty: Why Patricia Should Not Have Been Voted Out, by Peggy Keller: Maraamu followed a familiar path by voting out the older bossy woman early. But is this a path they really should have taken? Or should they have looked instead at a younger tribe member who not only is bossy, but lazy as well? Let's take a look at why Patricia should not have been voted out.

Letters from Camp Nuku Hiva – Battle of the Alpha Women, by C. Brian Devinney: C. Brian Devinney is back with another letter from camp at Survivor island. He's had it up to HERE with Kathy's bossiness and Sarah's laziness, and so he's giving his mom all the details.

Why Patricia Lost, by David Bloomberg: She made it past the first vote somehow, but got caught up in the second. Was it because she was older, or out of shape, or did people just want to dump Mom? Why did Patricia lose?

Surviving the Marquesas, Episode 2: Stereotypes Galore, by David Bloomberg: It's as if these players have never seen an episode of Survivor in their lives. We've got complaints about two bossy older women, a lazy young woman, and a lazy African-American basketball coach. Is this a rerun or does Survivor just bring out the stereotype in everybody? In any event, the action rotates around these four players, but Maraamu ends up on the bad end all around.

Survivor Marquesas -- Why the Remaining 15 Will, or Won't, Stay, by Ken Kellam III: It's only been one episode, but sometimes the first impressions are the ones that really tell us who has a chance and who doesn't. So let's take a look at precisely that question. Why might each remaining player stick around? And why might they be voted off at the next Tribal Council?

Survivor: Marquesas – Advice to the Remaining 15, by Jeffrey Clinard: The Dear Abby of Survivor returns with another helping of advice for the contestants.

So, what advice do the remaining fifteen survivors need?

Why Peter Lost, by David Bloomberg: For the first time on Survivor, a man was the first to go. He wasn't weak. He wasn't lazy. So just what was it that made people write down his name in the voting booth? Why did Peter lose?
