Survivor II: The Australian Outback will premiere after the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The set-up is the same as the original Survivor — 16 people will compete for a million dollar prize, each week one person will be voted off the island and the sole survivor gets the cash.

The Survivor II cast includes eight men and eight women.

Amber Brkich, one of the 16 Survivor II cast members, is a 22-year-old from Beaver, Pa. and belongs to Alpha Gamma Delta sorority.

Jane Tozzini (sophomore-journalism), vice president of campus relations for Penn State's chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta (AGD), said that she and her sorority sisters plan to watch the premiere of Survivor II to support their fellow sorority member.

"Our entire chapter is watching the premiere," Tozzini said, "It's exciting and the connection makes the show more fun to watch."

So does being a member of AGD give Brkich an advantage over other Survivor II cast members?

According to Nicole Okinsky (senior-pre-medicine), vice president of scholarship for Penn State's AGD chapter, it does.

Okinsky said that being a member of AGD has taught her some very valuable survival skills.

"We're a very diversified sorority, so we learn how to deal with different types of people from different backgrounds," Okinsky said.

Jeff Probst will host the second installment of Survivor, which will take place in the state of Queensland, Australia.

Queensland, Australia's second-largest state, is about two and a half times the size of Texas.

It encompasses the wettest, most tropical region of the continent and boasts more than 70 species of marsupials, 79 species of snakes, 161 lizard species and more than 40 species of bats.

"The snakes are the ones we are particularly worried about, because a snake bite is lethal," explained Dr. Adrian Cohen on the CBS Web site.

"We have five of the 10 deadliest snakes in this area," Cohen said.

After the two-hour premiere of Survivor II: The Australian Outback airs on Sunday, it will take the 8 p.m. time slot on Thursdays on CBS.

This puts it in direct competition with NBC's Friends.

In an attempt to preserve its eight-year domination of Thursday night ratings, NBC plans to expand the episodes of Friends, making them 40 minutes long instead of 30.

Beginning Feb. 1 and continuing throughout the month, the show will run until 8:40 p.m.

From 8:40 p.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday Night Live will air new sketches, performed live.

Tozzini said that since her sorority sisters are huge fans of Friends, they will compromise.

"We're going to tape Survivor and watch it after we watch Friends," Tozzini said.
