Shallow Shocked She Won "Survivor"
The Early Show
Posted on: May 12 2008,10:29
Parvati Shallow was the last woman standing on "Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites."
The 25-year-old boxer and charity organizer from Los Angeles outwitted, outlasted and outplayed her competitors - both "favorite" former castaways and "fan" contestants - to claim the title of "Sole Survivor" and the CBS reality show's $1 million prize during Sunday's live finale. She previously came in sixth on "Survivor: Cook Islands."
Shallow received five votes over three for runner-up Amanda Kimmel, the 23-year-old former beauty queen and aspiring fashion designer. She also bested 37-year-old nurse Cirie Fields and 32-year-old bartender Natalie Bolton. It marked the first time in the reality competition's 16-season history that four female contestants made it to the end of the game.
"I couldn't have done it without the girls that I was with," Shallow said during the finale.

Posted on: May 12 2008,10:27
After 39 days, twenty Survivors, tribes divided between Fans and Favorites, harsh conditions that forced three people from the game, a powerful female alliance, and an unprecedented number of blindsides, there emerged a Sole Survivor. The woman's alliance devoured the men one-by-one in the merged Dabu tribe and eventually each other, whittling down to four strong women: Parvati, Amanda, Cirie, and Natalie. But it was Parvati Shallow, the 25-year-old Charity Organizer from Los Angeles, California who outwitted the competition, orchestrated a blindside against the biggest threat in the game, Ozzy, and made the right social connections that ultimately won her the million dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor on SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA: FANS VS. FAVORITES.

By James Hibberd
Survivors ready ... for HD?
The eight-year-old reality competition series is finally getting upgraded to high definition. Next fall's 17th outing will be the first time the show's exotic locations, elaborate challenges and gruesome bug bites will be available in the widescreen HD format.
CBS announced the production upgrade at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas on Sunday.
"Shooting in high definition gives our production team tools for storytelling beyond what was previously possible and will give our loyal audience an enhanced viewing experience," said Ghen Maynard, executive vp alternative programming at CBS Paramount Entertainment Group. " 'Survivor's' locations and natural elements have always served as another character in the show and an important part of the competition. With HD, viewers will feel as if they are on location instead of in their living room."
