    Although the series hypocritically and formulaically exploits stereotypes before proving some of them wrong, "Survival of the Richest" is rich in entertainment value in spite of itself.

    Doesn't quite rise to the cheerful, sweetly clever quality level of WB's "Beauty and the Geek."

I'm from Belize but saw the series in Sweden and it was very entertaining. Marcus was my favorite, and Hunter was so annoying but kept me laughing.
