He fought even harder on the longest challenge ever, hanging on to a buoy for almost 12 hours to try to win immunity and face the jury for a million dollars.

An "Insider" Look at the Survivor: Palau Finale: Holding On, by Mike DeGeorge: You wouldn't think an Insider consisting solely of two challenges, one Tribal Council, and two final interviews would be very interesting, would you?

Survivor: Palau – Why Ian Lost , by David Bloomberg: It’s all too easy to say that Ian lost because he jumped out of the game in the final immunity challenge.

Survivor: Palau – Why Jenn Lost, by David Bloomberg: Jenn lasted longer than perhaps would have been expected after Gregg left, and came as close to the Final Three as possible without actually making it.

Survivor: Palau Episode 13 MVP: None of the Above?, by Betsy Wasser: You would think that if a player makes it to the top five in Survivor that they might have the stuff to win an MVP trophy. You’d think so, but Betsy isn’t sure if that’s the case.

Strategic Overview of Survivor, Episode 13: Survivor: Katie, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: SOS! The lack of strategy this season has been nothing short of appalling, and this week is no exception. Thanks to this, everyone in the final four has a realistic shot. Everyone, of course, except Katie, but that's OK, because everything revolves around her anyway, so much so that Professor Sadow has renamed this season in her honor.

Survivor: Palau – Why Caryn Lost , by David Bloomberg: Caryn picked herself up from a certain finish outside the top five to a potential Final Two player.

Survivor: Palau, Episode 12 MVP: Bust a Move , by Betsy Wasser: If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Young MC, it’s this, “If you want it, you’ve got it,” but only if you bust a move. This week’s Survivor MVP did just that.

Survivor: Palau – Who Will Go in Episode 13?, by Wesley Rice: One more person will be voted out to bring us to the Final Four.

Surviving Palau, Episode 12: “Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures”, by David Bloomberg: Stephenie is gone, so Gregg can continue work on the big plan, right? But what happens when the tribe is split up? Who sees desperate times ahead for themselves and decides to think about desperate measures? Who wins an Academy Award for their acting? You’ll just have to read on to find out!

Survivor: Palau, Episode 11 MVP: Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful , by Betsy Wasser: We can never forget the commercial in which Kelly LeBroc begged us to not hate her because she’s beautiful. Now Tom is begging the other players not to hate him – or vote him out, anyway – because he’s threatening. Did it do any good?

“Never Underestimate Yourself!”: An Interview with Survivor’s Stephenie, by David Bloomberg: Stephenie was the last Ulong standing, and for a while it looked like she just might make it on Koror.

All of that and more is right here!

Survivor: Palau - Who Will Go in Episode 12?, by Wesley Rice: This season of Survivor has been tough to predict, partly because of the interesting twists in the game and partly because the players don't seem that interested in strategic thinking. But Wesley thinks he's figured out all the angles for this episode, as he predicts who will be sent home next, as always with no spoilers!

Survivor: Palau - Advice for the Remaining 6, by Jeffrey Clinard: We're coming down to the wire, and the remaining Survivors have to make their final decisions of how to make the final three. Each Survivor has a clear path, but how will they get there? As always, Jeffrey dispenses the advice.

Why Survivor: Palau’s Janu Is Not in the Hall of Shame, by David Bloomberg: Janu did something on Survivor that has earned several other reality show contestants spots in the Reality TV Hall of Shame in the past – she quit. But after much debate and consideration, she will not be getting her own spot here. Why not? Read on to find out.

An "Insider" Look at Survivor: Palau, Episode 10: Even Showgirls Get the Blues, by Mike DeGeorge: Janu is gone, and her exit stirred up a lot of talk around the ol' Survivor water cooler. You'd expect her final words and day after confessional to be chock-full of interesting inside information. You'd be wrong, but there's still plenty of good stuff there.

Survivor: Palau – Why Janu Lost, by David Bloomberg: Janu wanted to leave the game, but her tribe wouldn’t let her go. So she took that power away from them and did it anyway. However, a series of events led up to that point – events that could have been used by Janu to turn the game in a completely different direction. Why did it lead to a torch lying on the ground? Why did Janu lose?

Strategic Overview of Survivor, Episode 10: The Princes and the Couple , by Jeffrey D. Sadow: SOS! Last week, Professor Sadow questioned whether the Couple were playing the game well or very stupidly. Judging from this week's episode, the answer should be rather obvious. Who will the royalty take with them to the final three? Is there a way to prevent that outcome? Find out inside!

Surviving Palau, Episode 10: “Survivor Isn’t Always About Fairness”, by David Bloomberg: The theme to tonight’s episode is fairness. What is fair?

And Jenn and Dalton are pouring out some Haterade. Who’s it for? Read on.

Survivor: Palau, Episode 9 MVP: One Singular Sensation, by Betsy Wasser: Stephenie managed to be the last surviving Ulong, was assimilated into Koror, and despite being an outsider, survived tribal council easily. Could anyone else be the MVP this week? Of course not!

“Nobody Could Control Me”: An Interview with Survivor’s Coby, by David Bloomberg: Coby was playing a good game up until the merge, when he let it all hang out.

Coby answers all of these questions and more right here!

An "Insider" Look at Survivor: Palau, Episode 9: Million Dollar Donut, by Mike DeGeorge: Last week, Mike said that Survivor: Palau needed more Coby. This week, he gets his wish. Kind of.

Survivor: Palau - Advice for the Remaining 8, by Jeffrey Clinard: We're at a crucial part of the game, as the mini-alliances have formed and everyone else is jockeying for position. Who are the core alliances, and who should concentrate on being the swing vote? Jeffrey has advice for all!

Survivor: Palau – Why Coby Lost, by David Bloomberg: Coby came into the ninth episode in a surprisingly strong position. He appeared to be on the outside but a new outsider was joining them.

Strategic Overview of Survivor, Episode 9: Coupling, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: SOS! Are Gregg and Jennifer in the best position to make the final two? They could be, if they're thinking ahead. Professor Sadow hopes that the fact that they sold their secret ally Coby down the river means that they have a grand scheme in mind. Either that, or they're just stupid.

Surviving Palau, Episode 9: “I’m Baitman!”, by David Bloomberg: Stephenie is the lone remaining Ulong. Certainly producers won’t make her live alone, right? Right? As the game begins to change, how do the various members of Koror handle it? And why has Coby taken on the new superhero identity of “Baitman”?

Survivor: Palau, Episode 8 MVPs: Alone!, by Betsy Wasser: With only two people left on Ulong and one of them sent home this week, it’s not exactly hard to narrow down who the MVP is there. That said, Stephenie absolutely deserves the win. Who on Koror will join her?

An "Insider" Look at Survivor: Palau, Episode 8: Watch the Beak!, by Mike DeGeorge: It's an Ulong-fest in the Insider this week! Bobby Jon discusses his time on the island and his thoughts on Stephenie. Also, he and Stephenie predict what will happen at that night's Tribal Council. Meanwhile, in the Ulong-less section of the show, Coby dishes on the dirty tribe.

Survivor: Palau - Who Will Go in Episode 9?, by Wesley Rice: Stephenie is literally a tribe of one, so once again the big question surrounding the episode is HOW will someone get kicked out just as much as WHO. Will Tribe Steph take out someone from Koror, or will Episode 9's Tribal Council be really, really quick? Wesley has the predictions, as always with no spoilers!

Losing Like Nobody Has Lost Before: The Ulong Tribe from ‘Survivor: Palau’, by David Bloomberg: After the first series of Survivor, “Pagong” became a verb.

Strategic Overview of Survivor, Episode 8: Game On!, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: SOS! Finally, we're reaching a point in Palau where Koror are going to have to strategize. With so many days without having to boot someone, the dyads and triads are firmly established. How will they affect the game? Who is in the best position? Professor Sadow has all the details!

Survivor: Palau – Why Bobby Jon Lost, by David Bloomberg: Bobby Jon could start a fire quickly at camp, but when it came time to do it under pressure, Stephenie beat him out. Certainly his loss can’t be explained that simply, though, right? Why did Bobby Jon lose?

Surviving Palau, Episode 8: “The Tribe Definitely Did Not Speak”, by David Bloomberg: With only two members remaining on Ulong, certainly there will be a merge this week. Right?

Survivor: Palau – Advice for the Remaining 10 , by Jeffrey Clinard: Now that Ulong is down to only two members, what advice does Jeffrey have for them if they want to have any hopes of remaining in the game? And what does Jeffrey have to say to the Koror challenge monsters?

Survivor: Palau – Survivor Live Recap, Episode 7, by Brian Towers: Ibrehem is the latest guest on Survivor Live, the CBS internet talk show. Many questions are raised in this edition, not the least of which is why Jenna is so focused on Tom’s shark. But the real question is whether quiet Ibrehem has a chance of getting a word in edgewise.

Strategic Overview of Survivor, Episode 7: The Weak Shall Inherit the Game?, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: SOS! With the merge almost certainly approaching, Professor Sadow says the game is split in a way that favors not the mighty, but those who seem to be in the worst position. Certainly he couldn’t mean… the Ulong?! Read on to find out!

Survivor: Palau – Why Ibrehem Lost , by David Bloomberg: Ibrehem believed he had an understanding with Bobby Jon, but that understanding didn’t pull him through when it was down to only three on Ulong. What could Ibrehem have done differently to stick around? Why did Ibrehem lose?

Survivor: Palau – Too Much Togetherness?, by Ken Kellam III: Previews for the last episode of March mentioned a first, but for Ken, it’s a last as well. Read on as he explains, and of course, asks a whole lot of questions – such as whether too much togetherness is a bad thing.

Surviving Palau, Episode 7: Big Fish/Little Fish , by David Bloomberg: In the wild, the big fish eat the little fish. On Survivor, Koror eats the big fish and Ulong gets the little one. Will Koror keep on taking bites out of Ulong by winning yet another immunity challenge? Or will the solid threesome on Ulong stick together enough to push on through?

“Broke Ass People Like Me Deserve a Chance to Win”: An Interview with Survivor’s James , by David Bloomberg: On Survivor: Palau, James definitely said whatever was on his mind.

Now that Ernest, er, James is gone, Ken imagines what it would be like if Ernest described his experiences in the game to his invisible friend, Vern.

Survivor: Palau – Why James Lost , by David Bloomberg: James was fairly secure in his position within Ulong – at least, he thought he was. In fact, he thought he was enough to call out Ibrehem after the previous Tribal Council, and to shoot off his mouth pretty much whenever he felt like it. Was this the main reason James lost, or was there something more important?

Strategic Overview of Survivor, Episode 6: Not Ulong for the World, by Jeffrey D. Sadow: SOS! As the almost unbelieveable incompetence of Ulong continues, Professor Sadow turns his attention to the merge. Assuming there are any Ulong left, how will they integrate into the new tribe? Will they be Pagonged, or will they somehow turn the game around? Professor Sadow has all the angles, inside!

Surviving Palau, Episode 6: To Be or Knot To Be , by David Bloomberg: Ibrehem survived last week, but what are the ramifications back at camp? Can Ulong use their “listening skills” to actually put together a challenge win? Or will they continue their stretch of being the losingest tribe ever?

An "Insider" Look at Survivor: Palau, Episode 5: The Willard and Angie Show, by Mike DeGeorge: With two bootees and four (FOUR!)

Check them out, inside!

“We Just Didn't Work Well Together”: An Interview with Survivor’s Angie, by David Bloomberg: The adage says you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
