"Survivor" Respects Its Elders In Season Finale

NEW YORK (AP) ― Schoolteacher Bob Crowley has beaten rivals Sugar and Susie to emerge as the sole "Survivor."

The 57-year-old Crowley will take his $1 million prize home to Portland, Maine. The senior player's victory in the 17th edition of the CBS reality show was aired Sunday.

The latest edition of the strategy-endurance game was set in the West African nation of Gabon. Eighteen castaways had come together when the season began.

The winner was chosen by a seven-member jury of previously voted-off contestants.

Runners-up were Susie Smith, a 47-year-old hairdresser and homemaker from Charles City, Iowa, and 29-year-old Jessica "Sugar" Kiper, a pinup model from Brooklyn.

The final vote was announced by host Jeff Probst in Hollywood during a live post-game special.
