This conniver could be the sole 'Survivor'

Gorham teacher Bob Crowley is one of six contestants left on the wilderness reality show.

GORHAM — Physics teachers can be as tricky and conniving as anyone.

That's a lesson Chelsea Clark is learning from Bob Crowley this fall. She's getting this reality check -- along with everyone else at Gorham High School -- by watching Crowley compete on the hit CBS television series "Survivor."

With 11 episodes already aired and only two to go, Crowley is still a contender for the $1 million grand prize on the show.

And that's at least partly because of some well-timed deception.

"Yeah, I've been a little surprised. He had told us that he can't tell a lie. But he can. A lot," said Clark, a senior in Crowley's honors physics class. "I think he has the ability to win the whole thing."

Now in its 17th edition, "Survivor" is a wilderness reality show that compels contestants to overcome the elements, confront physical challenges and play endless mind games to outwit opponents.

At the end of Thursday's episode, Crowley was one of only six contestants left. The competition began with 18 people and was filmed this past summer in the African nation of Gabon. At 57, Crowley is the oldest remaining contestant.
