Here's an update, she isn't taking the $$$$ http://www.wral.com/entertainment/story/2194962/ I still think it was all a misunderstanding and I don't think she was scheming in any way.
New here but BIG survivor fan. Recently, I found something out that really made me feel so much better about all the losers....they all or rather alot of them make at least a little money. They all get $10k for the reunion show...so that's one thing. And then they all get a stipend based on I think the popularity of the particular season. So even the first voted off can get a few grand. There's more info here...scroll down to prizes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_(TV_series) I thought this was one of the best seasons. Does anyone remember the Africa season? OH MY what a bore that was. Lauren
