Tonight at 8, Survivor: Thailand concludes with the final survivor claiming the $1 million prize. After two hours, the final four - used-car salesman/porn actor Brian, wacky first-grade teacher Jan, sneaky restaurateur Clay and earnest Navy swimming instructor Helen - will be narrowed to one.
Then at 10 p.m., the whole cast returns for a reunion show, which may shed some light on crucial factors that led to the victory. Series host Jeff Probst is also host of the reunion, and one hopes he will strike a balance between the couldn't-care-less attitude of original reunion emcee Bryant Gumbel and the "I'm so excited to talk to you that I'm not going to ask any meaningful questions because I'm singing" approach taken by Rosie O'Donnell, last year's reunion host.
The three-hour Survivor extravaganza airs on CBS (WJZ, Channel 13).
