Is there no end to the pathos and poor-mouthing?
"Survivor: China" fourth runner-up Denise played the poverty card to appeal to Amanda and Courtney to rid themselves of Todd in order to make the final three. In the finale, which named Todd the winner, Denise claimed she returned home to find she would not get her job back and, instead, had to clean toilets and classrooms, instead....and in a night shift rather than the dayshift she enjoyed pre-Survivor. Producer Mark Barnett felt so sorry for her he, personally, gave her $50,000.
Today, on the CBS Early Show, the TRUTH was revealed...Denise had voluntarily given up the lunch lady job before "Survivor" in order to become a janitor...for higher pay and better benefits. When she returned in August, she asked NO ONE about returning to her day shift job as a lunch lady. She made up the sob story to generate sympathy for her sad, bathetic existence, apparently.
I hope Mark Burnett can stop payment on that check.
