Survivor Fiji opened with 19 scheming castmates and each week a castmate is voted off the island by the Tribal Council.

Nice guys finish first — at least on this season. Earl Cole won the million-dollar prize on "Survivor: Fiji."
The votes were tallied in a live broadcast from New York on Sunday night, in the finale of the 14th season of the popular CBS reality show.
Cole, an advertising executive in the Los Angeles, received all nine votes from his TV tribemates. Host Jeff Probst says that's the first time they've had a unanimous winner.
At the end of the program, Probst announced the next edition of Survivor will be held in China.
The $1 million check was presented to him on The Early Show Monday.
After last year's experiment with dividing the cast into tribes based on race, the "Survivor" twist this season was about class.
"So we took all 19 (contestants), put them on the boat, sent them to the beach," Probst said in February. "So we give them everything they need to build a gigantic place. Then we divide into two groups. The winning group gets to live there. The losing grip gets a pot, a machete and a cave."
As the sole survivor, Cole will take home a cash prize of $1,000,000.
