Love him or hate him, you have to give it up for this guy. He invented the way reality game shows are played. Remember Season One of Survivor? People thought forming an alliance was cheating! He came up with idea of being so roundly disliked that you weren’t seen as a threat in the finals, and he got everybody to do his dirty work. His strategies changed TV history. Of course, now everybody knows his moves, so it’s hard to imagine him making it to the end. Though it’ll be fun to see where his head’s at these days – is he the angry Richard of his second Survivor appearance, or will he be the wizened old reality guru? (EJ)
