THE HYPE.

FORGET GO FISH: Not everyone is lucky enough to be stranded on an island - or in the Australian Outback - with a bunch of strangers who will do just about anything to get rid of you. Nope, only a select few get that honor (and a chance to win a million bucks) on the ``Survivor'' series.

But if you're convinced you could have outwitted and outlasted the first ``Survivor'' winner, Richard Hatch, you can test your skills at home with the new Survivor Trading Card Game. The game, made for two players, features castaways from the original ``Survivor,'' immunity challenges and even rats on the menu. It will be available on Jan. 29 at www.upperdeck.com and later in hobby shops and Target for $9.99, with booster packs for $2.99.

Much like the TV show, players have to manage food cards, maintain alliances, compete in the challenges and vote their opponents off the ``island.'' Best of all, you can prove your wit and skill while relaxing on your couch. Then, if you still really want to experience the real thing, watch for details about ``Survivor III'' tryouts.

AND THERE'S A GAME: CBS kicks off its Super Bowl coverage long before the actual game kickoff. On Saturday night, the network gets things going with ``Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials'' with hosts Anthony Clark and Mike O'Malley at 8 p.m. Let's face it, as many (if not more) people watch the ads as they do the game. This special will air commercials from the past 30 years in categories such as funniest and sexiest. Next, Ricky Martin headlines a concert in Tampa (site of the Super Bowl) at 9 p.m. and Craig Kilborn and MTV's Chris Connelly look at past plays, halftime shows and player rituals for ``Super Bowl Uncensored'' at 10 p.m. Coverage continues Sunday beginning at 9 a.m. In case you're wondering, the big game between the Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants kicks off at about 3:25 p.m. Sunday.

SHE'S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: Proving once again that anyone can call herself an expert and dole out advice, the ``Sultana of Split-Up'' Ivana Trump is answering relationship questions for Divorce Magazine and its Web site, www.DivorceMagazine.com.

In her first print column in the Winter 2001 edition on stands now, sheadvises inquiring readers to get pre-nuptial agreements (she should know!), how to flirt and date after divorce and tells one divorcee to ``lighten up'' about her ex-husband letting their 13-year-old son get a tattoo. ``If your child were a girl, I could understand your being upset, but think about it this way: tattoos on men can be quite attractive ... My current boyfriend has two tattoos, and I think they're cool.'' How hip of Ivana, but somehow we think those words of wisdom won't reassure the boy's mother.
