...Winners MICHELLE YEOH Crouching Tiger star is given the royal title datuk by the sultan of her home state of Perak, Malaysia. Is Dame Jade Fox next? MEL BROOKS Producers gets raves; show sold out. What's next for Broadway? Blazing Saddles, the Musical? Silent Movie, the Play? SCOTT WADDLE Submarine commander discharged without a court-martial. Guess the tribunal had too many civilian visitors that...
...Pushing the Right Buttons PINNED. Once they made a statement. They were quirky windows into our souls, expressions of our kicky individuality. Michael J. Fox sported one in Back to the Future; Wham had a few dozen pinned to their blousy satin suits. They even made it big in China during the Cultural Revolution when Mao-adorned pendants were the symbol of revolutionary coolness.

But while it is derivative and goofy--the screaming "drill instructors" put the "camp" in Boot Camp--it also shows a kind of olive-drab heart. Its major structural difference from Survivor is the most telling: the "recruits" conduct grueling reward challenges, not in teams, but as one unit. It's the most literal example of a widespread reality-show theme: that ordinary folk (including...
