When soccer pro Ethan Zohn (left, with runner-up Kim Johnson) was declared ''Survivor: Africa'' champ, it seemed he and the others were in Kenya -- not on a soundstage in L.A. How'd they do that?
When the show wrapped last August, creator Mark Burnett decided on a live vote count that mimicked the Africa set-up. He called Zohn, Johnson, and the jury 39 days before the finale. As Zohn recalls: ''He said, 'Ethan, start growing your beard,' and I so didn't want to.'' CBS took other precautions, too. ''When we finished the Tribal Council, we gave them all of our clothes -- down to jewelry and shoes,'' says Teresa Cooper. So they wore their smelly old duds? ''They washed them,'' says Johnson. Hopefully not in that dung-filled African water hole.
