We answered this question to the best of our ability a while back, and here's a link to that <b><strong><a href="/web/20060613110708/http://msnbc.msn.com/id/10298817/"><strong>prize-money list</strong></a></strong></b>.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>A bunch of other mini-news bulletins:</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Want to <b><strong>audition for the next "Survivor"? </strong></b>The <b><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060613110708/http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor_application/" target="_blank"><strong>application is now online</strong></a></strong></b>, with June 16 listed as the deadline. Sorry, Canadians and others, you must be a U.S. citizen. We're constantly asked why this is a common requirement, and other than the basic taxes/legalities differences, we have yet to receive a great answer. Canadian women have appeared on "The Bachelor," not that that's much of a comfort, all things considered.</p><div class="aC"><div class="textSmallGrey w320"><a href="#storyContinued">Story continues below ↓</a><hr noshade size="1"> advertisement <div style="padding:0 10 10 10;"><script>ad_dap(250,300,'&PG=NBCSML&AP=1089');</script></div><hr noshade size="1"></div></div><a name="storyContinued"></a><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><a name="summer"></a>Looking for some upcoming premiere dates?

Probst announced that presumably that was Shane's vote. However, it was barely visible on screen. To the best of my blurry image-reading ability, the number was 419,999, or perhaps 489,499. The last digit could also be an oddly-scrawled 8. The number was preceded by two blurry, hard-to-read words. Aras guessed 4, while Danielle guessed 10, so if Shane's number was in fact a six-digit number, he should have voted for Danielle, which he did.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Shane's penmanship needs help, as does his originality: Greg Buis asked the exact same question during the final Tribal Council of "Survivor's" first season, although his range was from one to 10, not Shane's one to one million.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><em>Gael says: </em>I freeze-framed the number and couldn't read it either, but it may not matter. On "Survivor Live," Aras and Danielle said Shane's number was 4, the very number Aras gave. On the show, co-host Dalton Ross said to Aras: "The magic number was 4. You nailed the magic number. Because he had told you earlier, ‘that's my favorite number.’ You look at him, you say 4, it is 4. And he doesn't give you the vote anyway."</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>So to me, it looks like Shane was going to vote for Danielle the whole time, decided to ask them the number question for his own reasons, got an answer he didn't want to hear, and made up a large number to justify voting for Danielle. I asked CBS for comment, and they didn't respond. But really, only Shane knows for sure, and he's likely to mold the answer to justify his own vote anyway. <em>—G.F.C.</em></p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><b><strong><a name="hair"></a>Q: Is that the real color of Taylor Hicks' hair or did he do it to get into "American Idol"?</strong></b> —<em>Clarice</em></p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><b><strong>A:</strong></b> According to Hicks, it's his real color. Photos from his childhood were also shown on an "Idol" episode, and he's had quite the rainbow of hair colors throughout his life — starting out as a blonde, then watching his hair deepen to brunette in later childhood, and then the arrival of the gray. The makers of Grecian Formula might not be too thrilled with him — he may singlehandedly be making gray hair cool.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>But if you'd like to see what
