...evening started with a lengthy introduction by the three entertainment industry moguls who conceived and produced the event. Michael Douglas brought on what he called the "Three Divas" - VH1 chief John Sykes, Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner and main instigator Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of Miramax Films. The trio each spoke of their passionate commitment to the Democratic cause, before Weinstein brought on the Gores and Liebermans to start the evening...

Despite Survivor's gross-outs, its dark premise and its wall-to-wall cheesiness--the faux-Lion King sound track, the "tribal councils" held in what looks like a Holiday Inn Polynesian lounge circa 1963, the somber narration of Jeff Probst, former host of VH1's Rock 'n' Roll Jeopardy! and challenger to Regis for luckiest-man-in-America status--despite all this, viewers have embraced the desert-island soap with fascination and bemused contempt.
