Playboy reportedly has offered Survivor castaway Jenna Lewis $US500,000 ($1.1 million) to do what her former beach-mate Richard did for free: show some skin.
Lewis, voted off the island last week, is thinking it over.
"I would do it for a lot of money," said the 23-year-old mother of twins. "It may hinder some of my other career moves. But it would also take care of me and my daughters for many, many years to come."

Peter Graves is celebrating two milestones rarely seen in Hollywood - a half-century in front of the camera and 50 years of marriage.
He began his career opposite Rory Calhoun in the 1950 film Rogue River, and his career continued through an eight-year run on TV's Mission Impossible and now Biography, a series similar to New Zealand's This Is Your Life.
Graves, aged 74, said wife Joan had been a steadying influence. "I hate to think what would have happened to me without her good guidance."

Sir Paul McCartney is the person most admired by the over-50s for his achievements and approach to life, a British survey revealed yesterday.
Sir Cliff Richard was held in high esteem by one in three women, and one in five men felt enormous respect for Margaret Thatcher.
Of the 520 people questioned, three in four declared they were happy with their age and did not want to be young again.
Almost nine in 10 said life at 50 was at least as good as they expected and better than it was for their parents.
However, three in four said that although they were generally happier and healthier than the previous generation, their mothers and fathers had enjoyed a better community spirit.
