Sure, only one castaway took home a million bucks, but that doesn't mean there weren't more winners on that island! Here, EW raises a coconut to the victors of our own Survivor awards.

THE 'TELL IT LIKE IT IS' AWARD

THE WARM FUZZIES AWARD

BEST ACTOR
Gervase, for collapsing after a race through the woods —- during which he exerted himself not one iota

THE ELIE WIESEL/ PAULY SHORE AWARD FOR ACHIEVEMENT IN HISTORICAL ANALOGY
