...have to wonder how the negotiations might have gone if this year's second wave of reality shows had crapped out as badly as "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"'s imitators did the year before. If "Temptation Island" had folded like a cheap sarong, if "The Mole" were not burrowing back for a second season, the writers may have come to the table a good bit cockier and, perhaps, less motivated to settle. But the shows thrived, with more coming up in fall, which you can bet put the fear of God and Jeff Probst into writers...
