Yul Logs Big Win on Survivor: Cook Islands

Realityblogsbutton_2_1 Yul Kwon beat out Ozzy Lusth by one vote (5-4) to take home the million-dollar prize on last night's thrilling three-hour Survivor: Cook Islands finale. For the first time, the finale featured three Survivors instead of two. Becky Lee, however, was a total non-factor.

Identity: I'll Lock In "Identity" As "Quickest Game Show to be Cancelled"

Penn_jillette_1NBC's new game show offering Identity has a huge amount of potential: Penn Jillette as host; the producers of The Office, Biggest Loser and Ugly Betty at the helm; and the network's recent success with Deal or No Deal. Potential, however, is one thing -- execution is another matter entirely. Disastrously boring and overextended in a one-hour timeslot, Identity is the little show that could... but shouldn't.
