Sports fans still recovering from last night’s thrilling Super Bowl will have plenty of Winter Olympics to absorb starting Friday on NBC in Vancouver.

But if that bores you, CBS Thursday is bringing its second “all star’ edition of “Survivor,” which is now in its 20 season. Many of the contestants are “Survivor” addicts, coming back for their third trip. A few have already won $1 million. And if you loved Russell from season 19, he’s back (although none of the other 19 know who the heck he is.) And if that isn’t your cup of reality tea, “The Amazing Race” is back Sunday – including the winner of “Big Brother” last year. Yes, CBS is just as shameless as any other network when it comes to cross promotion.

Plus, Atlanta connections are scattered all over the tube this week, from “Celebrity Fit Club” on VH1 Monday (Bobby Brown) to CBS’s “Undercover Boss” (Hooters) on Sunday. Plus, “Past Life” debuts on Fox Tuesday, a show that was shot in Atlanta.
