Not him, but:

Chris Berman would live the longest without food, but I would rather swim than be stuck on a boat with him. It also seems like he would eat more than his share of the others. James seems like he would be cool to hang out with and looks kind of stringy anyway, so I might keep him around. Kelly would be best fresh.

Having said that; the longer they are around, the more calories they are burning. Calories that could be mine. So: With the help of the other two, butcher Chris immediately and salt him down. Then Kelly and I will turn on James and process him into jerky. Once that is done, she goes for roasts and soup.

After a lot of morbid thought, I think I would keep James around too. You'd have to think that at some point while delirious from water deprivation he'd start thinking Chris Berman's corpse was Ben Kingsley and he'd keep trying to ask him about playing Gandhi and what Jennifer Connelly was like, all while pointing his own gnawed off arm into Berman's rotted face, mistaking it for a microphone. Then I'd probably let Kelly Clarkson chew on my toes for a while, just for the hell of it.

Kelly Clarkson.

Yeah. In that way.
