Rich crowned final survivor
And the sole survivor was ... Rich. But the big winner was CBS.
The Associated Press
An estimated 51 million viewers watched the two hour "survivor" finale in which Richard Hatch was chosen as king of the island, making it the most-watched TV program this season except for the Super Bowl, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings released by CBS.
According to the figures, Wednesday night's broadcast won a huge 28.2 household rating and 44 percent share of those watching TV during that period. This compares to the 43.3 household rating and 63 share for this year's National Football League championship.
Final audience numbers, to be released by Nielsen later Thursday, may change the picture slightly.
In addition, some 36.7 million stayed tuned for the live reunion special after the show.
"I didn't think he'd win it," said Andrew Gold, owner of Gold's Wood-Fired Grill & Cafe, where Hatch ate almost daily while he trained for the show.
The victor began reaping the spoils of fame even before Wednesday. Hatch will spend next week as host of a morning talk show on a local radio station and he's featured with the final four survivors in a "Got蚊??" mustache advertisement. He has been hounded by autograph seekers and has been inundated with marriage proposals — from men and women.
The final choice — between Hatch and Wiglesworth — was handed down by a jury of seven former tribates. Their vote — some complete with personal vitriol — was a squeaker: 4 to 3.
"I wouldn't change anything that I did," Hatch told the jury in a final statement.
Outlasting Susan Hawk, Rudy Boesch and Kelly Wiglesworth, Hatch became the sole survivor from the original 16 who marooned themselves on the remote tropical island Pulau Tiga at the series' launch in May.
The 39-year-old corporate trainer took home the cash prize and a new car, confounding those certain his scheming would cost him in the end.
Hatch, who stood out as the only openly gay contestant and was condemned as a snake by a fellow castaway emerged with another label: millionaire.
