FROM BC-AP on TV-Surviving Celebrity,1049

How long will the `Survivor' clan last on television?

`SUFFERER': "Survivor" is back for an encore run starting

Friday at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS. But for something a little different,

you can check out a "Survivor" spoof called "Sufferer." You

think living on a deserted island is tough? Here, in a crowded

living room, 16 contestants are subjected to an even crueler fate:

watching 39 hours of continuous reality programming. The 15-minute

independent film not only tweaks "Survivor," but also takes

swipes at the whole reality craze as the Ping Ping and Tacky tribes

endure "Little Brother," "The 1999 House" and "The REAL Real

World." Download it free or order a tape by logging on to the Web
