Hey OhTeenyWahine! Here's what I gathered about how much the SUrvivors win:
"And while she was eliminated Thursday from the $1 million grand prize, nobody should feel sorry for Brkich. By lasting as long as she did, she is assured a nice payday - likely in the $40,000 to $50,000 range.
"Survivor" publicist Colleen Sullivan confirmed the 16 "Survivor" contestants get paid on a sliding scale; the longer they survive on the show, the more money they get.
"Sullivan refused to reveal the dollar amounts of that sliding scale, except to say the second-place finisher wins $100,000 while the winner, as everyone knows, gets $1 million.
"However, People magazine got some of last year's original "Survivor" castaways to reveal their prize winnings. Jenna Lewis finished eighth last year and won $30,000, while Rudy Boesch earned $85,000 for finishing third.
"Brkich finished sixth in this year's Australian version."

Also, OTW, there is a possiblity that the jury memebers each called each other asking whovoted for who! Or they had a code while voting...like if you wear a certain color, you are voting for Person A, if you wear this, you are voting for PersonB. That's such a long time to not know who won, if indeed the jury memebers didn't contact each other regarding who they votd for!
33girl, you can visit
www.cbs.com/survivor, the main Survivor Site, they will have Amber's final comments up. HTH!!
P.S. I hate Tina--she is such a little backstabber! She's like a mini Jerri-though Jerri stabs you in the front, Tina stabs you in the back without you really knowing it!
