I noticed all the books have killed the odds on this Brian guy on Survivor. I guess they are getting hammered on him because of all the press he had regarding his acting and porn past. But personally I don't think he won.
Check out the following article as posted on survivornews.net. If he indeed won a million dollars then why the hell would he take on a job as a used car salesman?

LANCASTER - Brian Heidik's co-workers had no idea the car salesman just completed a stint on "Survivor: Thailand" when he was recently hired at Antelope Valley Ford.
"He hasn't said anything," Ford salesman Pat Smith said. "We don't pry him on it."
The fact that Heidik was one of 16 contestants who spent part of the summer on Koh Taratao, off the coast of Thailand, taping the fifth season of "Survivor," eventually came up in casual conversation.
However, Heidik is forbidden by CBS from discussing any details of the show, which premieres at 8 tonight on KCBS-TV Channel 2.
Heidik did tell Smith that "if he never eats a coconut again, it would be too soon."
"So we went over to Marie Callender's and got him a coconut cream pie and we ate it," Smith laughed.
Keeping a low profile became nearly impossible for Heidik last month when The Smoking Gun Web site revealed that the 34-yearold actor-turned-salesman has starred in several soft-core porn movies, a fact producers omitted from Heidik's "Survivor" biography.
News outlets from CNN to Entertainment Weekly quickly picked up the story of Heidik's racy credits and covertly snapped photographs of the salesman at Antelope Valley Ford popped up on the Web site www.survivorfever.net.
"They had some spy taking photos of him selling cars," Smith said.
The snapshots have created a flurry of interest from "Survivor" fanatics who analyze every tidbit of information in an attempt to predict the winner of the series' $1 million jackpot weeks before the show's finale.
"Recent photos of Brian at a car dealership show evidence of loose fitting pants and a gaunt face," reads a posting on survivornews.net.
Smith refused to offer his theories on whether or not Heidik might be the winner, but several Internet prognosticators seem to think the AV resident has a good shot.
"I see Brian as the one with the most staying power after the show is over," wrote Erik Allermann on survivorfire.com. Allermann dubbed Brian the new Colby, after popular "Survivor: The Australian Outback" contestant Colby Donaldson.
A writer for onlinesurvivor.net also singled out Heidik as her favorite contestant. "He looks like a real competitor."
Heidik lives in Quartz Hill with his wife, CC, and their son, Logan. According to his "Survivor" bio, his previous residences include Maryland, North Carolina and New York.
As "Survivor: Thailand" premieres, Heidik will face off against competitors ranging from a teacher and a restaurant owner, to a New York City cop and a Navy swim instructor.
A quote from a "Survivor" promotional ad offers a hint at Heidik's battle strategy:
"Let's go out there and stab a couple people in the back, but let's have a good time doing it."
