Denise didn't intend her story to come across as a 'sob story' - sometimes when were in a situation we're all too familiar with and then try to tell some of it to someone else we leave out important details and they may take it out of context because they don't know the 'whole' story. If the viewers had known about her promotion to janitor and then wanting to go back to lunch lady after Survivor, we would still be kind of bummed out for her because she loved being a lunch lady (but probably wouldn't have been given the $50,000). Denise played a great game - a very interesting contestant that carried a torch for us average working class Americans. As for the $50,000, I certainly don't blame her for wanting to keep it and dodging the question about what she's going to do about it. I don't have any advice to offer, I wouldn't know what to do.
