Big TV news tonight — the return of “Survivor!” And not just any “Survivor,” mind you. This is the Micronesia installment, where fans take on favorites (hence the title “Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Favorites”).

Look for it at 8 PM on CBS, when evil Johnny Fairplay makes his triumphant return to our television and tries to s-t-r-e-t-c-h that 15 minutes of fame just a little bit farther.

But wait… that’s not all!

Survivor Supercharged Sunflower Seeds will be hitting the store shelves in March. Honestly, I’m surprised they haven’t gone the product extension route with the ever popular reality series sooner.

Survivor Supercharged Sunflower Seeds loaded with 100 percent of the daily recommended dose of vitamins B and C.

But wait… there’s more!
Discussion of a “Survivor Fitness Program” is also in the works, as well as apparel, other foods, camping gear and corporate team-building and other adventures.
