...ANIMOSITY We have no real equivalent of, say, Arsenal vs. Tottenham. We don't sing sectarian anthems and fling pub darts at each other. This is bad for ratings. So instead of determining teams geographically (New York, L.A., Orlando), I suggest organizing teams along ethnic, religious, political and tribal lines. There should be a Bloods team. A Crips team. A Lubavitch Hasidim team. Aryan Nations, Khmer Rouge, Hutu, Tutsi, Royal Ulster Constabulary, Jews for Jesus, Hizballah. Now you've got some fierce rivalries going--off the field and on. You try tackling a 275-lb. running back with...

...rest. I loved to watch Willie Randolph - slick, perfect, self-contained - at second. But there was the intolerable Steinbrenner, and you paid a price in the stands.

How else to regain the magic and splendor of the weekly reality-based show, I thought, than to relive my favorite moments all over again with the official companion book, Survivor: The Ultimate Game?

...book fails to answer some of the biggest mysteries of tribal life in the South China Sea. What romance were Greg and Colleen covering for during their scandalous excursions? Why did Sean feel he owed Kelly a meal? Why did Sue feel such a harsh speech was necessary at the last council? These issues remain a mystery. For now, however, I plan to keep pining for the new Outback episodes, never to read another book on a television series again and to continue writing letters to Big Brother producers until they release poisonous pterodactyls into the house.
