'Survivor' vs. 'Big Brother': Zap2it's TV Show Smackdown

"Big Brother": Will Kirby, a.k.a. Evil Dr. Will, played on both "Big Brother 2" and "Big Brother All-Stars," winning the first and taking fourth place in the second. He constantly lied to everyone, even going so far as to wear a shirt that said, "I'm probably lying" or telling the other players he was lying to them right to their faces -- but his charm, intelligence and 1000 watt smile kept getting him by week after week. It was reality TV manipulation at its finest. Other standouts include Danielle Reyes, Jennifer "Nakomis" Dedmon and Natalie Martinez.

"Survivor": "Survivor" has had its share of masterminds -- Richard Hatch, Boston Rob, Natalie Bolton, Parvati Shallow, Russell Hantz, the list is endless. Each season seems to have at least one decent mastermind. They are all fast-talking, slick, and devious players and make the show infinitely entertaining season after season.

Winner: If we were looking for sheer volume, "Survivor" would win this hands down. However, we don't think any of the "Survivor" masterminds can stack up to the charismatic play of Dr. Will Kirby. He was amazing to watch both times on "Big Brother." We can't believe he hasn't gotten his own show yet. What would it be? Who cares, we 'd watch him read the phone book. Point - "Big Brother."
