'Survivor' Tsunami

We haven't seen the last of our island friends, thank goodness. Given some of the lingering animosities, the reunion show could be the wildest thing yet. Rudy seems especially ambivalent about seeing the gang again. "Personally, I don't hang around lesbians, queers, hippies, doctors and lawyers, but they're going to bring us all together," he says. And it won't end here. Mattel is releasing a "Survivor" board game in November. CBS is talking about rerunning the show. Stacey says she'd sell her personal island photos. "I've got a roll of 34, and it shows what it was really like," she says. Oh yeah? Moonves says that CBS may come back with some footage of its own. "There may be some sort of tape put out--outtakes of 'Survivor'," he says. "After the immense popularity of the show, everybody wants to see these people again." As long as Rich can keep his pants on.
