The Fibbin’ Food Server of "Survivor: China" said she was sorry today - in one of those really conditional, politician-style apologies. After implying on Sunday’s finale that she’d been demoted from lunch lady to janitor at her Massachusetts school because of her participation - and netting a $50,000 gift from producer Mark Burnett to make up for it - Denise Martin now admits it wasn’t true. In fact she got promoted to janitor, well before she landed in China with the rest of the castaways.
Sigh.
This morning Martin went on "The Early Show," another CBS venue, to issue her apology. "It was not my intention to be misleading," she said. To which I can only say, then what the hell was your intention?  
A statement issued by the network also pointedly included her taking "full responsibility" for her actions, letting CBS and "Survivor" off the hook for what many people assumed […]

You know but now not to believe everything you see on reality TV, right? Sunday’s "Survivor: China" finale was no exception. Fourth-place finisher Denise Martin told the audience that she’d been demoted from lunch lady to janitor at her school back home because of her "Survivor" notoriety - and the producers gave her $50,000 to make up for it. But today the Boston Globe reports that Martin was actually promoted from her $7+ an hour cafeteria job to $17+ an hour as a janitor - and that happened even before she went off to China.
School officials in rural Douglas, Mass., are kind of stung, especially with all the nasty emails they’ve been getting from around the world. Martin called her boss to apologize. But no one’s hold their breath for "Survivor" to make it right - maybe a check to the school, but a public admission that things got phonied […]

The 22-year-old Utah flight attendant Todd Herzog won the $1 million prize on "Survivor: China" last night, beating out fellow alliance members Courtney Yates and Amanda Kimmel in a severe case of craftiness trumping hotness.
Producer Mark Burnett was also tossing $50,000 to fourth-place finisher Denise Martin, a Massachusetts school "lunch lady" who lost her job as a result of making the cast. Meatloaf must be served.
In the next "Survivor," beginning in February, the show will return to a more bikini-centric tropical environment in Micronesia. Jeff Probst announced that the installment will feature "Survivor" fans battling previous cast members. No word on whether Herzog will represent for the "China" crew.

"Jericho" returns to the air Feb. 12 for its fan-inspired, seven-episode, make-or-break mini-season. The execrable "Big Brother" will have - oh joy - its first-ever winter edition. And "Power of 10," "Survivor" and "New Adventures of Old Christine" are among the returning shows with airdates announced by CBS late yesterday. There’s even a new scripted series about the residents of a fabled Holylwood apartment building, called "The Captain," and starring Fran Kranz ("The TV Set"), Chris Klein ("American Pie"), Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development") and Raquel Welch. It airs Mondays after "How I Met Your Mother," beginning Jan. 28. The complete press release is after the jump…

Some shows are like old friends with familiar faces.  Granted they’ll never you give the honest friend’s advice such as, "you in THAT bikini….I don’t think so" or "you should dump Karen, she’s definitely cheating on you".  Now that we think about, maybe our friends aren’t that great after all.  In any case, many of us have grown old with these shows.  They’ve given us laughter, excitement, and sometimes, for some reason, tears.  We’re calling these shows returning champs.  They may not be the longest running shows out there, they’re just considered champs in their own respect.
This week Video Top 5 has trivia games for ER and The Simpsons.  Test your knowledge so that maybe you will score high enough to brag on your MySpace page. We also have full episodes and weekly clips from the show that somehow helped make voyeurism cool, Big Brother:  Check out past clips from […]

Only one new show tonight but a considerable amount of new attitude scattered around the schedule, and Sunday night’s Emmys could add some more for "Ugly Betty," "Grey’s Anatomy," "The Office" and others.
The new show is ABC’s "Big Shots," at 10, which delivered a very funny press conference from stars Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Joshua Malina and Christopher Titus, and could be a ratings winner. They’re four reasonably powerful and successful guys, but the show follows mainly their romantic and domestic difficulties. It was at least unofficially called "Big Dicks" in the beginning, and seems intended to take a male-centric view of the world. But as it follows the guest-star-laden "Ugly Betty" at 8 and "Grey’s Anatomy" at 9, I think ABC is counting on a large number of women sticking with the network to eyeball Vartan and McDermott. Not a bad bet, actually, though I didn’t much like […]
