Outwit, Outlast, Outcasts

#4 Whoever coined the phrase ''losers never prosper'' didn't catch ''Survivor: Pearl Islands,'' when executive producer Mark Burnett decided to reward six Outcasts with the chance to return to the game. It's bad enough that we had to endure eight more weeks of Lill's annoying Boy Scout uniform -- that little twist (justified by Burnett as having something to do with the show's pirate theme) allowed Lill to make it to the finals. And it almost looked like the popular Scout leader would win the million bucks, until the jury chose Sandra in a six-to-one vote. Letting losers like Lill return -- how did she ''outlast'' the competition if she was dropped in week 3? -- did more to hurt the show's integrity than heighten its popularity.
