I was so happy that James won the $100,000!!! I was also glad that Denise got $50,000.
I hope Rupert comes back and James to the new season! Rupert is my all time favorite ~ I also love Roger from season 2 (he was from Kentucky Island!!!) Colby was nice to look at!
It will be a neat new season looks like!

I hope Survivor gets back to more being about surviving. It seems the people who are winning could never survive alone on an island. The way they are winning also seems so political rather than based at all on strength or endurance. Enough of the Private Jet rides and pampering. Enough of the Puzzle solving for immunities. Whats next the first to win Poker or Monopoly gets immunity? I always hoped they would put them in the antartic or in the desert. That would be a real survival test. Just my 2 cents.  |

I actually missed the show so who won? I agree the show has just gone downhill. I say send them to Iraq and see how they do.

Todd. You didn't miss much. They did give James 100K for being america's favorite. And they gave the Lunch Lady 50K because she lost her lunch lady job and had to become a janitor due to her popularity in the Lunch room.

Now the school system where Denise works is saying that she lied about being demoted. I guess she may have "outsmarted" CBS by the looks of things! They will never take them to where it is cold ~ to many clothes for the girls to wear ~ so sad!! Hey! A nice game of Uno sounds lovely  |

Press Release: Mrs. Denise Martin
December 17, 2007
Douglas Public Schools
On the Survivor China television program that aired on December 16, 2007, Mrs. Denise Martin, an employee of the Douglas Public Schools, stated that she was demoted from her position as a cafeteria worker upon her return from taping the show. This statement is false. In fact, Mrs. Martin held a full-time position as a custodian prior to her participation in the series, and she returned to this same position upon her return from China. Mrs. Martin was granted - at her request - an unpaid leave of absence so that she could participate in the Survivor program. We were pleased and excited to support Denise, and have enthusiastically cheered her on throughout the duration of the show.
Although Mrs. Martin was a cafeteria employee prior to her selection as a contestant, she asked to be considered for a promotion to full-time custodian, and was promoted to this position on March 30, 2007. This promotion came with additional benefits and a higher salary. Following her leave, she then returned to this same position.
Regretfully, the Douglas Public School District was inaccurately portrayed as failing to be accommodating to an employee during what the District viewed as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is far from the case. On the contrary, we granted all requests made by Mrs. Martin so that she could participate in the Survivor series. Since Mrs. Martin was on an approved leave, her position was held open for her, and she returned to this same position upon her return from China. As a District, we make every effort to support our employees, and will continue to do so.
Nancy T. Lane
Superintendent of Schools

 Denise and Nancy Lane were both on the morning show this am. Denise had to eat her words. Evidently the school got slammed with tons of emails after Denise's remark about losing her lunch lady job. Denise admitted that she lied.  It really makes no sense as she should have known that she would be called out on it. I really did like Denise, too, but that sure changed my opinion of her.

Is there a link to where I can watch that? I would love to see that. |

I enjoyed this season! I didn't have a problem with Todd. I respected that he could see the other side when he thought that someone might be thinking of voting him out. I liked James the best though. I also liked Frosti. And I am truly disappointed with the turn of events with Denise. I was upset with the nastiness she started to display when she knew she was on the way out and then at the finale- sheesh!

Surprise surprise ~ look what happened after she was "found out" ~
NEW YORK (AP) — Denise Martin, who gained fame as the lunch lady on CBS’ reality show “Survivor: China,” is donating the $50,000 she received from producer Mark Burnett to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDs Foundation.
Martin told viewers on Sunday night’s live finale that she’d been demoted to janitor at a school in Douglas, Mass., after finishing fourth on the show. After hearing her story, Burnett surprised Martin with the money to help get her life back.
On Tuesday, Martin acknowledged on CBS’ “The Early Show” that she’d been promoted to custodian, at her own request, before the competition began.
“It was not my intention to be misleading,” Martin, 40, said on the broadcast. “I’m sorry, and I apologize to everybody.”
In a statement issued Tuesday by the network, Martin said she took “full responsibility” for her actions.
“I do not feel comfortable about accepting the $50,000. I would instead ask that it be donated to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation,” the statement said. “Please accept my apology. I would also like to thank all the people who have supported me through this experience.”

I dont know. I think im in the middle about it. So I guess if she lied about that. Was she also lying when she said she couldnt work there, because she was way to popular with the kids? And they kept saying, hi denise, etc etc? I still cant believe she lied about that. So stupid. Did she not realize people would know.
