In contrast to "Survivor" alumni who sought to prolong their celebrity, she said she now expects to resume her former life. But she isn't shutting the door to staying in the public eye: "I'll be open-minded to whatever might come my way." What makes her most proud? Being the first black contestant to win. " Georgia's Paschal "Pappy" English did well up until the tiebreaker. The Griffin Judicial Circuit Superior Court judge had the misfortune of drawing the wrong stone, which elimi nated him. This is also the first "Sur vivor" where women emerged as the two finalists. Both were outspoken in their Christian faith during the series, and were condemned by some rivals as "Bible-thumpers." The final 4-3 vote was made by a jury of seven former "Sur vivor: Marquesas" castaways, one of whom. Tammy Leitner. was less lhan complimentary to^ the finalists. "You beat me at my own game." she said at a tribal coun cil before the votes were cast. "You lied better than I did. you manipulated better than I did and you deceived everybody better than 1 did.

Ethnically mixed casts tend to be concentrated in later-evening dramas such as "ER" and "The Practice," with the 10 p.m. series offering nearly four times the diversity of 8 p.m. programs. There was a substantial drop in sitcom diversity. Only 7 percent of comedies had ethnically diverse starring casts, compared with 14 percent last season. The study found subtle differ ences in how whites and minori ties are portrayed. More than half of young white characters are shown interacting with their par ents. compared with a fourth of Hispanic youths. Black families are almost exclusively shown as the focus of comedies, and black households headed by professionals are por trayed as more affluent than white ones, the study found. Minorities are much more likely than whites to be portrayed as service workers, unskilled laborers and criminals. The picture is somewhat dif ferent for gay and lesbian charac ters. who have gained increased visibility on network TV. So did characters with disabilities, the study found. In both instances, however, most such roles go to whites. Native Americans are largely ignored and Native American women are nonexistent on net work TV, the study found. The Children Now report is another in a long line citing the same problems, said Alex Nogales. president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition. "We need to make these reports part of a bigger puzzle," he said. "We need to Find the under lying reasons this is going on and that no one is addressing. Is it racism, is it economics and what specifics can be done to remedy the situation quickly?" California legislators are con sidering a bill that would go "right to the root" of the problem by authorizing a study of hiring prac tices and patterns in the entertain ment industry, Nogales said. The bill, AB 1904, would ask the University of California to study the topic and report to the Legislature and Gov. Gray Davis by January 2004. ? i it !? w i ii i 1 h?< a? Left to right: the Rev.
