Sixteen people, backstabbing, and climbing the corporate ladder: it's "Survivor" without...
...without their cushy syndication deals, since the Net would become the land of infinite reruns. Hope you like product placement--you'll be seeing a lot of it. Already this July the WB network and Pepsi plan to launch an American Bandstand--style TV show called Pepsi Smash, featuring performances by big-ticket music acts. Alternative revenue streams never tasted so good...
