'Survivor' contestant apologizes for deception
 

If you watched this last season of Survivor, you either felt sorry for this woman or you were sick of her constant whining. I was sick of her.

"Denise Martin, the former lunch lady who claimed she had been demoted to janitor after appearing on “Survivor: China,” acknowledged today that the hard-luck story she told in the reality show finale was not true.

Martin, who works in an elementary school in Douglas, Mass., appeared on the CBS "Early Show'' in a split screen with Schools Superintendent Nancy T. Lane in a segment dubbed "Survivor Scandal." As her voice cracked, Martin confirmed what Lane told the Globe on Monday -- that she had been promoted to a janitorial position before trying out for the show, a job that came with a $10-an-hour pay raise."

"The producer of "Survivor" responded on live television by surprising Martin with $50,000 to help "get her life back." The story sparked an avalanche of e-mails to Lane and the Douglas public schools, as thousands of viewers blasted the superintendent for being a "Scrooge" and ruining the country. The superintendent said today she was glad Martin acknowledged the truth."

That is soooo fuckin' funny. My wife told me about Barnet giving her $50,000 but now what does he do? She lied!!!! Take it away!!!

Excuse me for a moment.....I have to run up stairs so I can |pokefun| at The Bitch :D

I just watched the season finale yesterday. omg that's so funny. I couldn't believe when they actually gave her 50k. How'd she think they weren't going to find out about that one. hahaha so stupid.

some people ... I was watching that show and thought how nice it was that she was getting some help to get her life back on track.

Just another scam artist I guess.

What the hell! Talk about a blow to her janitorial reputation.

I never really liked watching TV but I'll have to check this one out.
