Resumo

Abstract In this study, the author investigates a recent phenomenon in American culture–reality-based television–as fertile ground for pedagogical examples. Specifically, the author examines cartel behavior among contestants on the 2000 edition of CBS's popular reality show Survivor. Using anecdotes regarding contestant behavior on the show, the author examines incentives to both form cartels and cheat on cartel decisions.
