'Survivor' - Who Will Be Last Viewer?

'SURVIVOR' Tension Mounts - Who Will Be The Last Viewer?

Bookmakers reported a wave of last-minute betting yesterday as punters around
the country put money on who would be the last remaining viewer of ITV's
reality TV show 'Survivor'.

The 6 million viewers who watched the first episode of the series have now been
whittled down to just 3. They are:

Betty Lownsdale, 76, a pensioner from Leeds.

Keith Ovenden, 46, Head of the Official Survivor (UK) Fan Club and the
Unofficial Billie Piper Appreciation Society.

Leanne Battersby, 32, a beautician from Walthamstow.

The fourth remaining viewer, Duncan Fields, 36, from Bath, dramatically turned
over last week when a cursory glance at a TV guide reminded him that a
documentary about 'some old ships or something' was being shown on BBC2.

Betty Lownsdale is the current bookies' favourite, with many observers
expecting her to be the last to stop watching. "She is actually in a semi-catatonic
state and is barely aware of what is going on around her," said her doctor
yesterday. "She's got a good chance." Leanne Battersby, the second favourite,
almost dropped out of the race two days ago when she was distracted by a
small bird hopping around her front garden.
